[Thread Game] Terrible Video Game Descriptions (MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS)

Bubble181 · May 1, 2016

Reading back a few pages, I feel the need to point out there was, in fact, a "Dune"game preceding "Dune 2". it wasn't a real RTS though, but a hybrid RPG with some strategy elements in the latter half of the game - more strategy than tactics, really, choosing what cities or vests to send armies/troops to, but without actually fighting with them yourself.

So you and some rappers have to use over-the-top professional wrestling moves to defeat Snoop Dogg and his gang of rappers.

You will need a raygun in the end, but not to shoot the Vorticon...

Can't unhear this to "I shot the Sheriff"

Well, it's obviously something Commander Keen related, but it's been so long I don't remember which one has that ending.

"I should build some toilets in the canteen so they don't shit all over the floor during mealtimes."

"Some guy was lifting weights here, but it appears he's left his hands behind."

"Why are people delivering electric drills, screwdrivers, cell phones, and pickaxes inside crates of food?"

That is clearly Prison Architect.

And yet to anyone who hasn't played the game, I'm betting these lines would sound rather odd out of context.

Actually, it sounds like most games.

First one could be Sims for example, second one any horror game and the last sentence some adventuring game with wacky shenanigans. Put them all together and you've got Halforums Academy 2.

Yeah really.. it could be anything. Grand Theft Auto? Rampage? Katamari Damacy? Battlefield: Bad Company 2? Minecraft?

I don't think any of us have missed your salt on this one.
Also I want to know how much back stock they'll have of the Symmetra pillows compared to the rest. Even McCree.
