so I guess you can hack signs and they change into one of these randomly generated phrases?

eh.. I guess (wanna think) it's satire on shit people would actually do nowadays but for some reason the idea of the main character having this sort of humor really puts me off :|

this is some next level guacamelee business

 

[Wario64]

I think they're in the game itself but yeah lol

 

[bobawesome]

Ugh. Just...no.

Then don't connect to the internet while playing this game.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Guacamelee did it well. This is just poorly done and doesn't fit with the game at all

Bleh

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Watch_doge )))

 

[Silky]

OH SHIT. GOT M E M E D O N

 

[Salsa]

Bleh

well, it certainly was more clever, just think it was a bit overdone, but it's probably not that fair of a comparison yeah

 

[Vylash]

gonna ruin people's games

 

[Pyccko]

The sigh to end all sighs.

 

[alr1ght]

Ubihumor...

Watch Doge is in there at least.

 

[Wishmaster92]

criminal jenios is my favorite one

Spoiler

It's not even there ;_;

 

[McDougles]

There was a thread (or part of the OT, can't remember) about this, and I remember being flabbergasted at a "Gonads and Strife" reference. That was actually surprising.

 

[JayEH]

Yep, the stuff in guacamelee really turned me off to the game. This just seems...weird.

 

[GamerJM]

why

 

[ASTROID2]

Watch_doge )))

Damn. I was gonna post that.

 

[PaulExcellent]

doge one is the only one they needed

I think they are put in by players invading, so you'll see this when people chose to write them in. Alternatively, you can do the same.

 

[dripdripsplash]

I cringed so hard reading those and imagining some developers talking and thinking that it'd be "cool" to have something like that in the game.

 

[Zeliard]

why did i buy this game

 

[The Grim Heaper]

I smiled at the Mordor one.

That was it.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

For everyone who was turned off by the memes in Guacamelee (which at least took some goddamn effort on the part of the artists), this is what actual garbage memes ruining a game looks like.

 

[Salsa]

I don't even think they get the "meanwhile in chicago" one

arent you in chicago?

or maybe I dont get it

I dont know anymore

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Ubisoft loves to protect my wallet.

 

[Astarte]

Wow, these are some serious M E M E rep. So hip and jive, just like M E M E S. Yep, these memes never die. Ever.

 

[Mechazawa]

A couple of these are so old and out of touch it's actually a bit funny.

 

[Marjar]

I know it's dumb, but this really makes me just never want to touch this game, or any game that uses internet memes as "jokes."

 

[Salsa]

A couple of these are so old and out of touch it's actually a bit funny.

well game's been in development for a century so they were probably totes hip when they were implemented

 

[Zabuza]

These are wack.

 

[Stimpack]

I really hate that part of the internet, and that part of the internet is pretty much everywhere. It's just so repetitive and humorless. It's like when you're 8 years old and you repeat the same lame joke over and over again.

 

[Wario64]

A couple of these are so old and out of touch it's actually a bit funny.

as @supererogatory has mentioned, it shows how long this game has been in development

 

[Tamanon]

I think it emulates how annoying memes are to begin with.

 

[RE_Player]

So did they let an intern write this shit?

 

[Papytendo]

Why?

Spoiler

Dat ass gave me a good giggle

 

[Rubius]

Guacamelee did it well. This is just poorly done and doesn't fit with the game at all

Bleh

Meh, the hackers are probably 20-30 yo guys who go on 4chan a lot and hack stuff just for the lulz.

Here 4chan posting messages on Orpah forums result are.

Here a hacker having fun with a TV show.

 

[Feltrol]

Watch Doges.

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

Dat ass? Where? What ass does it speak of?

 

[Luigi87]

Dear Ubisoft,

You're welcome.

 

[Messiek]

I saw one like this : "I like turtles"
haha

 

[Salsa]

Dat ass? Where? What ass does it speak of?

XD!!!

 

[NotDreamcast]

It's like I'm back in 2005 again.

 

[RoKKeR]

Cringe worthy, sheesh.

 

[davidbloop]

People really think that hacking a message board and seeing a reference to a meme ruins the game? I mean don't get me wrong it's not funny, but it's such a tiny part of the game that I couldn't really care less. But that's me.

 

[NexusGamer]

this is the only instance of such humour in the game (plus a character late in the game also uses this, but it's brief)

don't think the whole game is like this - its actually serious tone most of the time

 

[Kid Ska]

Oh boy...

 

[-Deimos]

hahaha just wait until I get my copy.

 

[Anthony Soprano]

Saw one that was "It's over 9000!"

 

[Papercuts]

Memes in games never fail to be maximum cringe.

 

[Mr. RHC]

why did i buy this game

lol. I find it amazing!

such gem, very meme, many hackzz, wow

 

[desmax]

Oh boy, it's even worse than Guacamelee!

At least in there they made an effort
