Quick Look: Mars: War Logs

Brad dished out some sweet Tennessee Ernie Ford lyrics about 34 minutes in.

Man, I sense some ER quality in this game. Too bad they didn't go that route.

It's as if the voice actors were given scripts with no punctuation.

I'm gonna get a tattoo on my face of ya doin' that coz I really like it.

Shitguys Rule!

"Maybe try and stealth a little bch becha next tichchchchchch!"

funniest QL in a long time. The Vinny/Jeff combo playing sheaty games = insta win.

Technology + Romance = Techromancer

Technology + Gregory Hines = Technodancer

Technology + everyone looks like a pedephile = Mars War Logs

Justin McElroy said he loved it on GWJ this week. I'm going to give it a go, although as ever, will probably wait for the next Steam sale.

I just got out of the prison camp and stuff is starting to get good combat-wise and such. Production values are still...not AAA, I guess, but the combat is starting to get interesting. The more I play it the more I feel like my initial reaction of "hey, that looks like future space Risen" was pretty much right. Doesn't seem as open or expansive quite yet, but I just made it to mars proper, so who knows.

One things for certain, I feel like I've gotten my $16 worth already.

Any quicklook where Big Jeffrey says "Drop 'Em" is okay

The threat of gay rape is always a little unnerving, but it becomes a little too ridiculous when it's so persistent... It was the same in that Serenity movie where they kept going on about how the reavers were dangerous because they kill and rape and rape and rape you.

In the future, Boston is Mars.

This quick look was great. Instant classic material.

Game audio's a little low.

I can't stand it when voice actors don't know how to curse. Nobody who uses it as an expletive pronounces the G in "fucking," EVER. This whole thing just seems like a bad ripoff of The Witcher 2. It makes me feel like we really dodged a bullet with The Witcher series turning out good.

Also, I hope the "actor" who voiced Fat Guy never gets work again. Terrible.

So, yeah, I totally pronounce the g in "fucking". Like, every time. I always felt "fuckin' " sounded rather unintelligent. And for the record, this isn't knocking off The Witcher, it's knocking off KOTOR, which The Witcher also happened to be mimicking.

Can't find fault with you on the Fatso accusation, though, even for a budget game, that guy was wince-inducing.

Some of the ideas are nice here, and this style of pc rpg is always welcome, but... god damn, spiders can't voice act at all. Almost none of the line delivery sounds good or human or natural.

Mostly what I like about this game is how good it could have been if they'd had a major studio working on it, with an actual budget.

Based on the overly-explicit sexual language, this could have only been made in/on a European moon colony, because not even Europeans are that filthy. I get it; you're setting up a bad guy and his character, but that's just too much.

YO MAMA

Why do the dogs look like shrimps with legs?

@quantical: Because of reasons...

This game is $10 on Steam right now if anyone was interested. Doesn't look like an extremely long game but i kinda wanna see how open it is once you get past that first area.

I'm sure some of you have seen this, but for those that didn't here is the story of what went wrong with the translation. If you watched teh Quick look and laughed here's why.

A TALE OF TWO TRANSLATIONS IN MARS: WAR LOGS

I just played the demo for his on PSN and all of the story is the same, but for some reason almost every line of dialogue is worded slightly differently to the quick look???

A bit late, but I'm pretty sure they issued a patch that changed the text and voice acting.

Picked this up on steam not that long ago. Think I'll finally play it.
