Quick Look: Mars: War Logs

I am horrified by the idea of millions of spiders developing B-grade video games.

@oljunebug: Yeah, I'm sure that these developers would be devastated if someone showered attention on their tiny game.

that dialogue kinda made me laugh.

Press 2 for POCKET SAND!

That voice acting is just bad enough to be hilarious.

"You can't be trusting aruond here."

Then BAM, back and forth trust for fetch quests.

Terrible...in a good way! This should be featured again in UPF at least!

Am I the only one who actually thinks this looks decent? I don't think the voice acting is terrible at all. That being said, it isn't good either. It's serviceable. Just hits me with a really cool vibe (Riddick), and for 20 dollars as well this looks WAY more entertaining than say... Dragon Age 2.

Thanks GB for making this video and introducing me to this game, I might pick this up.

Listening to you guys making light of the bad voice acting and writing is some funny shee-it. I busted up laughing more than once. This looks like a crappy version of The Witcher in a sci-fi setting. Thanks for the video. Your mama.

The Ql had me dying by the end of it.

Martian Fever!!!!

I think this looks pretty good, sure it looks super budget, but I think there's a charm to that. Might play it when it comes to consoles.

Innocence Smith

Too bad the writing, AND voice acting, are fucking terrible...

This seems very Steam sale-worthy. Also, I hope the devs make enough from this to make another game. They have an interesting vision for sure.

I love how earnestly bad everything about this game seems to be, with no hint of irony. I can't claim to ever want to play a C-tier RPG like this, but I would pay money to see someone else riff on it the entire time.

i want saturday night martian fever to be my new gamertag.

Hmmmm

This game looks dull and interesting at the same time...

Not terrible voice acting, just bad directing of the actors. This looks like a decent game for one of those barren weeks. The industry needs these not AAA titles. Supporting them can be good.

Also, great ending!

This game looks like sheeaaat.

This game really must've been developed by spiders.. Or at least some form of sentient life that has no idea how actual humans communicate.

I laughed so friggin' hard during this quicklook. The game has a "budget" KoTOR/Dragon Age vibe, I'll probably pick it up when it goes on sale.

The game's script could have gone with a few overhauls. I like the game's concept but it's execution seems a bit brittle

My thoughts exactly.

Sheeee-it, that was a funny QL.

Saturday Night Martian Fever.

The voice acting and dialogue seem pretty terrible but in a somewhat enjoyable way. I'd potentially pay 15.00 for an XBLA version. 20 seems too much though. Seems like it could benefit from a Fable style breadcrumb trail to help you navigate the prison area better.

All the voice actor sound drunk, or on something they shouldn't be on.

Now THIS I call a Quick Look!

Seems everyone is thinking the same thing I am: new endurance run right heeêee-re

The Witcher 3: Assassins of Space Kings

Fantastic.

Man that is some Shenmue level voice acting

All the dialogue was inspired by Clay Davis from The Wire.

Looks shitty, but a good quick look

This was great! That whole yo mama line was so ridiculously spoken. I don't know how they let him use that take, but I am so glad they did.

I'm pretty good at this *BZZT* *cough* *spit* *gag*

Awesome QL

Would this be someone that makes old tech work again?

@huser: Or someone who brings robots back to life...er, back to a functional state.

Is this built on the framework of the Secret World? So much of it and the UI remind me of it.

I've watched this QL 5 times now.

For some reason I went and bought this for $16 on gmg half way through the quicklook.

Hopefully I don't end up regretting it too badly. Looks kinda Risen-ish with worse voice acting and less pirates and lush jungle islands and stuff.

Bits of this looks average on a few things but an RPG on Mars for $20 on steam, sure I'll give it a try as it sounds interesting.

I bought the game for the voice work- so good (bad)

If we're talkin' Mars, ain't no game better than Red Faction.

I'm confused as to why I am seeing ads.

Someone needs to get on making a Shit Boys image!

Sounds like it could be an ok game if it had a better budget...

But Mars, man. What's with this people and Mars!? Every game set in this scenario has the EXACT same generic visuals! The only good games set on Mars I can remember of the top of my head are Red Faction Guerrillam, Zone of The Enders 2... and maybe UFO: Afterlight? Can't really vouch for that last one.

And the record for quickest blown out speakers goes to... Spiders.

This seems like a game that would have been mind-blowing on the original XBOX.
