John Dudebro Is Coming

Here's one example of what may happen when a video game forum itself decides to make a video game.

My favorite part of this is the music, i hope the game is full of tunes like this but without the rap.
I don't know what Dudebro or Neogaf is.

THIS is what Duke Nukem Forever should have been.

The hate between the Neogaf and Giant Bomb community is hilarious.

Yeah they're all a bunch of animals over there. Now I'm gonna go to Neogaf and say the same thing about us.

You son of a bitch.

Whew, thank God this game looks terrible. I was worried I'd have to pay attention to something Neogaf-related.

And people wonder why the GB crew spend all their time on GAF and not here.

The important thing is, this will be better than Katawa Shoujo. And really, isn't that an ideal we can all get behind?

Dudebro 2's been gone so long I almost forgot there was a game attached to this name I took.

Now every time I hear it mentioned I freak out for a second and think people are talking about me.

Yeah, lol, I thought for a second you became a GB staff member and this was your initiation video.

Really?... Really?

Did you even played Katawa Shoujo or you just dismissing it because it was made by people on 4chan?

Also, that's a visual novel, it's not even a game, you just reading it and sometimes choose an answer or action.

So how exactly do you compare the two?

So its a "funny" indie sidescroller with retro graphics... wow.

I've never been to this "Neogaf", and this certainly doesn't inspire me to change that.

I can't tell if this is actually passable or just really, really fucking dumb.

It reminds me of something I would make when I was like, 15.

I'm a little disappointed that they dropped the original look (overhead view in the start of this video) but hey, I just want to see a finished game.

I think s/he was making a joke based on the fact that those who love Katawa would jump all over it in defense.

@AlexanderSheen: That was intended to be a humorous comment! Jokes, on the Internet? I never!

I've played Katawa, it's good but I was kinda disappointed with the quality of a couple of the routes. It felt extremely uneven. I don't exactly subscribe to the notion that it creates a torrent of "feels" inside anyone who plays it, but it's a decent little thing. Especially given the years and effort that went into it. No, I don't care that 4chan folks made it. More power to them.

Comparing the two is dumb, yes. That wasn't really serious, although Dudebro is undeniably more up my street. I would hope Dudebro is a more coherent production, and this trailer certainly gives that impression. That's why I made that comment, comparing the two things directly is asinine but you can at least compare the quality of their productions. I feel, anyway.

Wait, the last time I played this game (like two+ years ago) it was a top-down 3D shooter on the Unity engine. When the hell did it go all pixle art-y? 
 
 
Also, that song is fucking killer.

look, everyone "gets" Dudebro™ — My Shit Is Fucked Up So I Got to Shoot/Slice You II: It’s Straight-Up Dawg Time.

it just isn't funny, honestly the whole indie action-farce thing is really passe in 2012. I've played enough ironic games for one lifetime.

As for the original question, you can have him record a 30 second message in the Duke Nukem voice for $100. 
 
 
I will probably do it.

Yea this whole joke has been done 10 times over, and it comes out really unfunny every time. Check out EAT LEAD: The Return of Matt Hazzard, or Duty Calls, or Duke Nukem Forever.
 
Actually Duty Calls was alright, but that was like 5 minutes long.
 
Also yea I'm not a fan of anything about this, and I don't really get why Neogaf is a thing anyone knows about or is interested in. It's a forum about videogames, right?

Guys, you should probably take a look at the wiki page for this game. Its inception sounds to me like a pretty fun forum event. They just made it into a game, and its free. Why the fuck are people complaining?

@Dozeworthy: Because this game just feels like a rant in video game form, whereas the game you're so quick to insult is one made of a legitimately heartwarming tale. It's even more awe-inspiring when you think of the group that made it: people from an online community usually talked down for being sexist, revolting man-children.

Also, if you such a stickler about the nude portions, there's a button in the options menu to turn it off.
