What's with the disagrees? I was only asking a question, jeez.

alien6263948d ago

why are people even thinking of buying this game. never seen a game so awful this generation.

cl19833947d ago

Amazon also stopped the ps3 order page.

psyxon3948d ago

maybe if you're retarded.

JKelloggs3946d ago

Thanks for clearing that up, I didn't understand. Also don't understand what all these disagrees were all about, my fault for not knowing something I guess...

Saints943948d ago

Sounds like a great game! I'm going to buy it < nao :D

Narutone663948d ago

Is the game really that bad?
- "This would have been poor on the PS2 or Xbox 1," says another, "enemies pop in and out, during fight scenes half the punches don't hit. Save your money and poke your eyes out, you will probably have more fun."

- The game has been universally panned by the press, too, with a Metacritic score of 22.

- "Don't think about playing it. Don't think about thinking about playing it. Forget it exists, and continue your life as though it never did."

Watch the Giant Bomb Quick Look video if you want to know how bad it is. It's an hour and a half long, but it's worth it to see the awfulness of that game...especially the shoe-horned sex scenes that look absolutely ridiculous.

RavageX3947d ago (Edited 3947d ago )

This man speaks the truth. I had been wondering about the game since there was very little buzz about it.

That video answered a lot of questions for me. I honestly think that if you watch that video and think the game might be great there is something seriously wrong with your mind.

It could be fun to laugh at with friends, but for a serious, enjoyable playthrough...no way.

It really does look like a (bad)PS2 game. There has to be some sort of story of why it turned out like this.

Maybe the devs were harassed or held hostage and this is a cry for help?

I wonder who decided that this game was passable? Do they still have their job?

specialguest3947d ago

The sound quality is really bad, but worse than that is that the game is missing half of your standard sound effects you would normally hear on a typical game. Some example: When you're launching off of a ramp and go airborne landing on the ground, no sound effects. When you side swipe another motorcycle, no sound effects. When you slide on the side of your motorcycle against the ground, no sound effects.

another person trying to get money for free

ApolloTheBoss3948d ago

How else is he gonna get it? I mean you can't buy money, can you?

MikeyDucati13948d ago (Edited 3948d ago )

Do I understand this correctly? The game basically sucked and customers complained, forcing them to remove the game from their listings? But isn't that like complaining about how the actual Subway sandwich looks nothing like how it's advertised?

E.T. for the Atari 2600. I'm never going to forget falling into those pits over and over and over and over again. So annoying

Neonridr1862d ago

I mean given the technical limitations of the 2600, ET isn't a terrible game per-se. But it does a horrible job of explaining just what the hell you are supposed to do.

Superman 64 on the other hand has zero excuses.. it's just a flat out terribly made game.

TheHateTheyGive1860d ago

This crackdown 3 should be in that list for taking seemingly forever only for the finished product to look like a 360 game with hdr. crackdown 3 by far is the worst AAA game this gen. How did Microsoft botch a chance to show off the power of the X with this garbage?

SuperSonic911860d ago

Link: The Faces of Eviland Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon should be there too.

Why Bikers Need To Be The Focus Of More Video Games

More games really should let you take a trip down the highway to Hell.

We already have plenty of games that prominently feature bikers

- Full Throttle
- Brutal Legend
- Devil May Cry series
- Left 4 Dead
- Shadow the Hedgehog
- Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost & Damned
- Freedom Planet series
- Bayonetta series
- Jak & Daxter series

If a developer can make a game that features bikes or bikers then cool, but it shouldn’t be a new trend just because one upcoming game is focusing on it.

Wolffenblitz2169d ago

I think you're confused about what "bikers" are mate.

A few of those titles in your list are questionable. I laughed at a few of them.
Just one for example: Brutal Legend wasn't about a biker, it was about a roadie and metal music.
Devil May Cry... I think I saw a bike once? I don't remember I played it when it came out back in 2001.

Plus there's a difference between "bikers" and gang members.

Smokehouse2169d ago

The ideology or characteristics of a 1%er has no value in the post apocalypse. Oh so you live by your own laws, you are outlaws. That’s nice but what good is that in a lawless world? Other than not being directly effected by the collapse of society and the economy. That’s what makes the biker a good dynamic in days gone. It’s not some ode to bikers or a representation checklist, it’s just preparation from a past life and it makes sense.

If you mean bikers as some old Tim Allen stereotype in assless chaps then no thanks.
