Even for free, this looks doubtful.

I don't think anything about this game would appeal to "kids today", since it seems like the sort of thing that you would find on a Flash game website in 2003.

There's something funny about seeing Dan finally get so frustrated about a game and calling out the tone of it. I 100% agree with him, Drawn to Death is a neat idea, but Jaffe's influence on this game is about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face while screaming "FUCK YOU" repeatedly.

Edit: I'm not saying Jaffe is unable to make a fair point, he is 100% a person who is very "Anti-PC culture" or worried about censorship/trigger warnings, but...at least to me, this game does not seem good, and the writing doesn't help.

Edit 2: HOLY SHIT that fucking like....25 second monologue about how excited the announcer is and his boner, WHAT THE FUCK JAFFE? WERE YOU THE SOLE WRITER OF THIS GAME AND DID YOU FIRE ANYONE WHO QUESTIONED YOUR DECISIONS?

Is it safe to spend 32 minutes in a consistent state of cringe?

Does this need a health warning?

I questionably like the art direction of this game, but wished for it to be under a different tone.

Holy Christ, I'd heard this game wasn't great, but man I didn't expect it to be this violently abrasive.

The funny thing about this game is I was a nerd who was imaginary designing games in a notebook exactly like this with Twisted Metal inspired characters and special abilities. But the tude of this is very off. I admire the style in menus though.

You know what, I really like that someone has made a game with this aesthetic. It actually made me feel nostalgic for all the hours I spent doodling through school.

I'm glad I didn't download this on PS Plus. I don't know what this game's audience is supposed to be. It's the classic immature R-rated comedy problem: Too much explicit content for most pre-teens, but anyone older than that will think the humor is garbage.

This is The Run: Dan playing Drawn to Death 'till he goes into a full mental breakdown. Edit; I'm glad Vinny suggested it as well.

I can also admit to liking the visual style, I sure used to scribble things like this (and still might occasionally...) down on paper. Everything else, though...eh.

Vinny's "isn't this wrestling?" at 8:17 while Dan is furious at it.....so good.

(That said, I'm with Dan on this game. I hate everything about the over-the-top tone of this.)

Around the time Dan was 13, it was more about edge. Twisted Metal, Thrill Kill, Loaded, Spawn, Carmageddon. It's all about murder and being dark and cool.

Kids right now are probably into memes, but, like real esoteric meta-memes that us adults just don't get.

Poo poo. Pee pee. Breasts.

EDIT: I will say, at least there aren't offensive jokes towards minorities, or any actually "anti-PC" material. It's insanely childish to think that being "anti-PC" means cursing a lot and saying stuff about boners.

Attitude that even Dan can't tolerate? That's a pretty high bar.

Yeah the more I see it the more I like the visuals. I think they dropped the ball with the rest of the style but it actually looks good. Like I mentioned it really reminds me of my notebook sketches.

I like the look. That shark ninja lady is something I think a 12 year old would draw. The etching look looks cool.

I do like the look of this game, but the controls aren't great, everything feel so light and floaty there is no momentum, weight or any decent feedback to any of it.

I don't think it's just the weapon that's hurting you, Dan.

I just realized that Dan's anger at this game's attitude is similar to my anger towards a game I have on Steam called UnEpic. It basically tried way too hard to be funny and, to me, fell flat on its face. It made me unreasonably pissed off, and I kind of enjoyed the actual gameplay. I put about 3 hours into it before stopping.

I do like the *look* of this game. Not really into competitive multiplayer stuff, though.

The best thing about this game is that Jeff called it "Drawn to Life" in this week's podcast.

And that's about it.

I wanted to be with Dan after his giant beast comments. But this is not as bad.

I think they expected me to cringe, but I see it everywhere nowadays. Like it or not.

Also,this type of humor is very much similar to the one Giantbomb delivers. The kind I like, so you don't think I'm being negative. I found Dan imitating the announcer to be kinda funny, for example.Also, pages and pages of self referential Gifs? That's here too. Different jokes, same thing.

I'm not familiar with it, so I don't find it as funny, but that's kinda what it takes no? Familiarity, I think.

If Dan played this when he was 13 this would be "top 5." He's lying to himself.

There is no honest way for Dan to say that he knows exactly how his 13-year-old self would react to this game. The fact that he was so sure is actually infuriating.

For months, MONTHS!, I thought that this was a dark sequel to Drawn to Life based on the title.

I feel bad for David Jaffe, when they first showed this game at E3 or whatever it was you could see how bad it was. I'm surprised it got to release!
