Title: Obscure (PS2/Xbox/PC) Post by: schild on April 23, 2005, 10:13:25 PM The option of playing single player really shouldn't have existed (http://www.f13.net/index2.php?subaction=showfull&id=1114319471&archive=&start_from=&ucat=2&).

It's fucking $19.99. Title: Re: Obscure (PS2/Xbox/PC) Post by: schild on April 23, 2005, 10:25:37 PM It's a short game.
And worth every penny. I played it with one of my friends, beginning to end. If we hadn't putzed around, it would have taken probably 5-7 hours. We beat eachother with bats for a while there too. Friendly fire is fun. Cheaper than a movie/date, and a girl might enjoy this more than some of the shit in theaters right now.

Though that's pretty common, right? Title: Re: Obscure (PS2/Xbox/PC) Post by: schild on April 23, 2005, 10:34:50 PM Though that's pretty common, right? Common as clean water in a sewer. Title: Re: Obscure (PS2/Xbox/PC) Post by: Strazos on April 23, 2005, 11:03:58 PM BTW, what's with all the Uwe Boll hate?
I'm no film dork, but IMDB says he hasn't done much, most apparently foreign. EDIT: My apologies, authentic douchebaggery confirmed. Sure, I like videogames too, and even though I enjoyed Hunter: The Reckoning, I'm not about to make it into a damn movie. In the spirit of dear Haemish, the list of this guys upcoming "movies" (http://imdb.com/name/nm0093051/) makes me stabby. Title: Re: Obscure (PS2/Xbox/PC) Post by: Llava on April 24, 2005, 01:07:25 AM Hunter would make an awesome movie.
The tabletop game, not the fun-but-forgettable video game. And even were that the case, Uwe Boll couldn't make a good film out of it anyway. But we know this. Even so, I'm a big fan of Carpenter, the villainous ghost of a deceased hitman. Good character, and they carried him over to the video game pretty well. Title: Re: Obscure (PS2/Xbox/PC) Post by: Fabricated on April 24, 2005, 10:06:58 AM Wait, I thought there was a PC version of Obscure. The Gamestop Overlord Boutique here only had the PS2 version.
To be honest though, this game would probably piss me off something major, since I'm one of those people who saves every single character they can, reloads be damned. I played all the way through Halo without losing a single marine where it wasn't required.

There is a PC Version, as per the thread title. The question is, does it come with the ability to play a coop game over the net. If so - rock. But it really is a great, fun, unique experience for two people on the same couch. Much cursing is had when you go to break a window and hit your teammate square in the back of the head with a steel bat.

(http://www.f13.net/reviews.php?subaction=showfull&id=1086057357&archive=&start_from=&ucat=2&) He truly is syphilis in the director's chair.

Wanted a good coop game my wife and I can play. Only $20, and horror to boot. ++.

Oh man, memories of playing Double Dragon with my singer, we were masters of the game, but every now and again one of us would get sloppy and whack the other guy (NEVER intentionally!! Really, honest!).Back in the day of trying to beat the game on a single quarter, I think we never beat seventy-five cents because of our tendencies to pop the other guy for doing something dumb, or in retaliation for a mistaken hit. I loved me some Double Dragon, best arcade game ever. Title: Re: Obscure (PS2/Xbox/PC) Post by: Sky on April 29, 2005, 09:27:02 AM Actually, iirc sometimes the 'friendly fire' was to steal the bat that bastard picked up. I called it!
Damn that was a fun game. |
