Not a huge fan of Twisted Pixel's sense of humor but I'm really looking forward to watching this Quick Look for whatever reason.

The Beard Engine is truly the best example of pushing these new consoles to their limits.

How the Hell did Patrick not recognise James Gunn?!

Also, Robert Patrick done a surprisingly good job in playing a sympathetic character n The Sopranos.

@mrgtd: I guess some people still think casual racism is funny.

Hispanics are only good enough to be car mechanics. Hilarious.

Scottsburg, IN is a real place and we love our motorcycles and guns! As someone who lives very close to Scottsburg this was by far the funniest part of the whole video.

I think I hate everything about this game. Literally everything, the tone, the gameplay, the graphics, the awful humor, even the mere concept of a guy hanging from a bike an entire game, it's like a really bad joke being dragged out an infinitely longer amount of time than it should. Twisted Pixel seems to continue to make nothing but mediocre boring blandness or absolute garbage and this seems to sit somewhere in the middle.

This is what I came here to post. Pretty odd that such a self proclaimed fan wouldn't recognise the man himself hamming it up in HD right in front of him.

I like FMV as much as the next bomber but this game just looks soooo boring. And just ugly, even by last gen standards.

Oh dear... this game looks pretty damn bad. And none of the FMV stuff seemed especially funny, either.

I love James Gunn too; I also did not recognize him.

Yup...still looks just as last-gen as it did the first time. Of course that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, if the game would be good on any other level, but...it sure doesn't seem to be.

I think it's more to do with giving that "everyman" vibe to the protagonist than making a lazy joke. There may or may not be unconscious assumptions on the dev's part involved, but hey, at least they're doing something different.

This game looks like garbage. That opening cutscenes is not very funny, the gameplay looks bland and the graphics and look is just really tiring.

Looks awful and gameplay is boring, FMV is novel but goes on a bit too long.

Thins is nothing like their nightmare-television humor, but a whole lot worse. I can't believe their DLC is way better than this stinker.

This game would look bad for Xbox OG launch game. Ew. And not just technically, the design overall is bad.

Loyd Kaufman: The Game seems like something that should happen. It could be a management sim about running a shlocky D-grade movie studio with FMV cut scenes galore.

This looks abysmal from a graphics perspective. I'm sure games like Burnout Revenge looked better than this and that's 8 years old.

It seem like the developer spend 75% of their budget making two motorcycles, 15% of their budget making a live-action movie with non-union workers, and 5% of their budge making the game.

The impression of what was spent where is probably wrong, but that is how it looks and the impression you make is what people take away no matter what the reality. I cannot imagine how they felt what they have done here makes a good impression when it 'appears' they have wasted money.

@patrickklepek, "exasperate" is not the same as "exacerbate". I believe you meant to say the latter. I think that word confusion came up on the podcast or morning show recently as well. They are very similar words, though!

I thought it looked pretty fun/funny, maybe not in the context of a launch game that has to justify buying an expensive new console, but I'll pick up the PC version when it's on sale sometime.

Poor Twisted Pixel, they just want to make people laugh... too bad they can't make games to carry the humor.
