Quick Look: Shadows of the Damned

I just finished this game tonight. I absolutely love it!!!

Suda QL's are always entertaining!

This game seems pretty awesome.

Damn, this Quick Look made me order the game! ^____^

Can't wait to get my hands on a Johnson! >___>

garcia voice reminds me a little of manny calavera of Grim Fandango

Is that the Rico Rodriguez voice?

Not Al Pachino-ie enough.

Finally! A game that I actually wanna buy!!!

Might give this a try

strawberry thing, do they mean that eggs from insects are already in the berry? I knew that who gives a fuck, just like figs with wasp parts.

The 16-year-old me within is totally on-board with this game.

I'm digging the amount of self awareness. I wanna see swery and suda make deadly premonition 2 now.

Damn I want this game already!!! :D

Fucking... fucking sold.

What's that thing about Strawberries? I want to know before eating some again!

Well, I'm buying this... thanks Giant Bomb...

Totally on board to buy this game

Thanks Giantbomb for this quicklook! I probably wouldn't have bought this if it weren't for this quicklook, so thanks! Loving this so far, it fits my type of humor perfectly. I can see people who don't think this game is funny thinking it isn't that good, but the humor is just icing on the cake for me. One thing though, well at least the PS3 version, the graphics aren't great. The artistic design is amazing, but the use of Unreal Engine causes lots of streaming texture problems which I haven't seen since Enslaved for PS3. Also, the anti-aliasing is pretty bad meaning there's LOTS of jaggies. If you buy this, make sure its being played on an HD display. Playing this at 480p is just oging to be really ugly. Highly recommend the buy though, and even better it supports Grasshopper Manufacture

This game should be called Garcia and his pal Johnson: Demons and Strawberries.

Great game that deserves more attention from gamers. Why EA didnt promote it?

I'd love to play this game,but the gameplay still look awkward and frustrating...and I hate when shooting mechanics are like that.

@Agent47: Oh, I thought that in real life, something had been discovered about strawberries.

Boner humor always works.

I NEED money for this game 

Goddamn. I think I have to get this now.

Mouth sync is janky. But am loving the whole tone of the game!

that's a pretty dumb thing to complain about the game is original in japanese and not every developer got the money to complete redo the voice sync

you should just be happy its even coming out in the west

this is awesomer than i expected.
As expected from Suda51.

SOLD

finished the game last weekend, it was fckn megawesome!

its a really good and refreshing new IP.

Looks great.  I will check it out when the price drops.

Finished it today. I love this game so goddamn much.

Wasn't that interested in the first trailer, thought Suda was gonna flunk this one for sure.  Pleasantly surprised.

This game seems pretty rad, aside from the "rapidly push button to open door" cliche.

I would totally get into this if there was a PC version. It's just begging for a Let's Play, and I don't have the equipment to capture off a console.

This looks a great rental to just lay around and witness the crazy.

This game seems interesting except for the part where it becomes a game. Which is always my problem when people fawn over a game that seems crazy for the first ten minutes and then I realize I'm playing something that's mad mediocre.
 
Also, marketing-Brad strikes again, hyping a game in the video, and then on the podcast basically says he has no interest in actually playing it.

Gave in and got this after all, PC or no PC, and I gotta say, apart from the weirdly annoying paper sequences, this game rocks out loud.

It's probably safe to say suda wrote the dialouge?

Man, that door opening noise is the best thing ever.

Also, the game is pretty rad. I'm so upset it sold poorly.

@MooseyMcMan: It deeply saddens me when I hear that this game sold in the low 10,000s and a game like Duke Nukem Forever sold in the high 100,000s.

@TheLeamenator: It appears a modicum of marketing could have made the difference?

I'm the first to complain about marketing and advertisements, but the time that it does seem justified is when it's not used. But Jesus Christ, let's not commit the sin of forgetting about MW3 with them cramming that shit down your throat every five seconds as if the gaming community needs a reminder. I just "discovered" this game tonight and I'm very intrigued. I'm definitely going to pick this up ASAP.

Oh my god, I have to play this. Like, right now.
