...and it was one of the worst experiences of my gaming life. This game is just wrong on so many levels. Honestly, I don't think any game has offended my senses as much as this one has. Thankfully, it was a review copy -- I feel sorry for the poor souls who payed money for this abomination.

Anybody else played this chunk of filth yet? I hope I'm not wallowing in its stink alone. And while we're at it, which other games truly offended any of you? I mean truly made you so uncomfortable or angry that you never wanted to set foot within 200 yards of the development team?

Fight Club the game would make sense if it was single player only and it turned out that the computer you were playing aganist was actually all in your head.

 

[op_ivy]

i played it at e3... and it was bad, but not THAT bad. its still light years better then rise of the robots or some of the other 16 bit fighters

 

[StorablePrawn]

You have to see the presentation of the story mode... it's sickening.

 

[fse]

Worse than Kakuto Chojin? or whatever the fuck its called.

 

[Naked Snake]

You have violated the first rule of Fight Club!

 

[Warm Machine]

I remember being horrified by Loaded 2. That game was punishing.

I remember being horrified by Loaded 2. That game was punishing.

I remember Loaded 2. At the time, I was sharing an apartment with a couple of friends. One of them saw me put a lot of time in with the original Loaded, and decided to pick up the sequel for me as a birthday present. He was so psyched when he gave it to me that I never had the heart to tell him how awful the game really was...

So what's so horrifying about Fight Club: THE GAME? Besides the whole concept, I mean.

That seems like another reason to NOT buy the game.

 

[mrmyth]

I tried to tell you people this game would be shite. I am Jack's total lack of surprise.


Now follow the first fucking rule and stop talking about it!

 

[Sho Nuff]

Now that Acclaim is gone, I can say that Acclaim originally had the license to this game and was shopping around Japanese fighting game designers back in 2001 looking for someone to make PS2/Xbox versions of it.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I played it at e3 and, while it wasn't fantastic or anything, it didn't seem nearly as bad as reviews and impressions post-release have made it sound. I think it might just be a case of people really liking to the source material and being upset that they would turn it into a fighter.

 

[Jonnyboy117]

And while we're at it, which other games truly offended any of you?

I don't think I can be offended, aside from personal attacks, but I find most/all historical military shooter games to be unethical. I can't see the value in making someone's horrific war experience into an interactive, FUN experience to be relived over and over, especially for a war whose veterans are still very much alive. That's in addition to the fact that most of these games, in fact all of them I think, gloss over most of what makes actual combat so intense and eerie by not showing any blood, gore, dismemberment, guerilla tactics, friendly fire, soldiers going nuts and cowering in ditches, etc.

 

[LakeEarth]

I played it. It's not horrible, just really simple. Though I couldn't figure out how to break bones.

 

[StorablePrawn]

Fred Durst makes the game at least worth a rental.


And Johnnyboy: I somewhat agree with you. The Vietnam games kind of annoy me, but it's mostly because of the parallels with the current U.S./Iraqi conflict. I have a buddy over there. Oh, and the fact that every single Vietnam game plays like complete shite.

 

[JohnnyKorea]

I want to set that game on fire. One of the worst mis-uses of a license...ever.

 

[KiNeSiS]

I just saw the movie for the first time, it's ill as hell! But I refuse to play this corn ball shit!

 

[StorablePrawn]

You need to read the book. The ending makes much more sense.

 

[ferricide]

Yeah, I feel the same way. I played it at e3 and, while it wasn't fantastic or anything, it didn't seem nearly as bad as reviews and impressions post-release have made it sound.

dude, it has THREE FUCKING CHARACTERS. the appearance of more is just skinning. that's what utterly kills it.

the story mode is laughably bad; the adherence to the source material in terms of its story and themes is just plain hilariously wrong. the obvious anti-consumerist vibe, of course, but the fact that the film, by the end, rejects the fight clubs / project mayhem et al is just the higher-minded icing on the hilarity cake.

it's actually a pretty competent fighting engine. but the fact that there are three characters just mauls it.
