oh god send help

They actually have the nerves to still charge money for this?

Everybody needs to look at the screenshots that were selected to sell that game and explain to me what the fuck is going on in that shark scene.

Hot shark on shark action

Everybody needs to look at the screenshots that were selected to sell that game and explain to me what the fuck is going on in that shark scene.

gog is about to make me its bitch.

Word of advice: play on the easiest setting. I got caught in an unwinnable situation about two minutes into the game on normal.

@buft: @august: Well, even if it is hot shark on shark underwater action, that explains the sharks, but what about the large man walking next to them? He's clearly not swimming. Also your character is pretty small in that shot.

I'm really worried I'm going to have to buy this just to find out.

Goddammit @august you're making me want to play this. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?

you should probably think about maybe sucking it down when you're there. :)

@HatKing: In the future swimming will be made obsolete. By cybernetics. And robot frogs. I am not making up the frogs part.

Robot frogs? Frobots? Rogs?

I might really need to play this.

The man in the shark pic looks like Shaq.

@august: downloading it now.... Good thing I have the day off tomorrow so I can cry in the shower fully clothed all day after this experience.

I remember actually giving this game an honest shot something like 4 years ago. I made it about half way through the game before I just couldn't do it anymore. You know what? I'm actually proud I made it that far. Besides, by doing that I think I've earned the right to make this joke:

Thats not until the final episode, and I believe that scene is about halfway through the final episode. You can't skip episodes like in the original Doom or Quake, either. Advice to everyone: Play this game in co-op.

I dont trust anyone whose advice contains references to playing Daikatana :p

The first level of this games is intense! As in intensely making me look up ancient IGN strategy guides so I can figure out what the fuck to do next.

@august: Here's my strategy guide: Don't play it.

Well crap. It won't be today, it won't be tomorrow, but some day I will trick myself into thinking purchasing this game is a good idea. And I will hate myself for it.

You know, I wasn't sure how I felt about it. But then Ghost Samurai Plumber Jesus comes in and wins me over(spoilers). This has guilty pleasure written all over it. I found about half the secrets in the first level and it made it super easy. get that c4 launcher SON.

hahaha. no, seriously, lest anyone somehow miss the humour of this thread, don't actually buy this game. this game really is as terrible as people say.

That shark has a tongue and its tongue is another shark.

Least it's not Daikatana 64!

2.15's quick nod to it totally sums up my feelings on it.

So the underwater tunnel you take to find the c4 launcher seems to have sealed up behind me? Is there another way out?

There definitely is but I don't remember too well. I'm trying not to have a broken spirit... So that room where the c4 launcher is, you've gotta keep going up and... god it's really hard to explain when everything has the same texture, but basically just look around for large health packs and you'll find your way out, since there's a health pack in front of it.

*throws money at screen*

Daikatana quicklook?

...

Fuck.

I gave up trying to play this game halfway through the first level ten years ago.

I'm still going to buy this. Probably going to record myself playing it, too. Goddammit.

gold.

I'll probably buy it at some point. I can only assume it's not as bad as people make it out to be?

Have Daikatana 64, going to buy this.

Unprofessional Friday with Daikatana please.

WAIT. WHAT.

WHAT'S ALL THIS EGYPT AND METAL-ASS GOTHIC SHIT?

I thought the game was set in a Blade Runner styled future city. Or am I just covering up my traumatic memories with lies in order to protect myself?

Daikatana quicklook?

*bursts into uncontrollable laughter for 45 minutes*

I think the console that's supposed to open one of the doors in the first level glitched out on me. So I get to basically start over.
 
Also the loading screen.
 
Also THIS GAME

Public *Disservice Announcement you mean.

Also now up on steam though unsure what the demand is on this oddity. Not sure I'd want to play this after all I've heard on it but glad it's out on steam & other places to preserve gaming history.

This seems like one of those games you need to play just because it's so damn bad. Just to remind you what a bad game really and truly is.

I haven't played it, so I don't know if it will live up to the, er, hype, but I hope it does.
