Hey, I can believe that the game sucks in a painfully humorless way, never said it didn't. I'm just talking about the writing style of the article. If it was that unfunny, there should have been plenty of material in the article for the author to riff on.

As is, he sounds like a straight laced bore.



Criticizing a game review primarily because it's not funny seems like a non-sequiter to me.


Yeah, because we need more over-the-top game "writing".


Agreed such a terrible review.

I mean his first reaction was to kill the women - and then shout down the game for it - considering they explode exactly 5 seconds after the dialogue ends, so yeah, really tried to avoid that huh..

How the hell did he miss that? It actually takes three seconds from "we'll get the weight off, we swear" to them screaming end exploding.

Also, my favorite bit:

"Duke, what's happening to us?"

"Looks like you're... awkward pause fucked."

If that's any indication, I completely sympathize with the reviewer.
