Looked real good in the E3 trailer I thought. Kind of a lower budget Guardians of the Galaxy vibe. Lots of bright colors, aliens.
Hopefully the gameplay is not gonna be as shitty as that one.

I think it look more like discount ratchet graphic wise.

Show me games with this art style and sort of humor.
I don't think any other game does, but it's hard to call it risky when it's basically the same (terrible) art-style of a popular ((adult)) cartoon which was already generic and bland enough. Look at the third post above yours to know which one I am referring to.
It applies to the same type of hack humor as well.
 
And it's still not risky.
Without the evidence to your statement it just comes off as hollow hatery.

I'm guessing it's entirely make or break on if you like Justin Roiland's humor and the "what if Morty was a gun?" schtick. There's a silencer for the guns, but I wonder if there's enough without it. 5-7 sounds about right. Have it on preload, it's a definite "gamepass, so may as well" game.

you not liking a thing doesn't make it not risky. In fact, you calling the art-style "terrible" strengthens the argument that it was a risk, as the art-style clearly isn't for everyone.
Based on not only its art-style, but also its kind of humor, it's clearly a product made to appeal to a large audience in mind (check out R&M's success), therefore it's far from risky.
and it's indeed terrible, fuck fake cartoonists :messenger_smiling_with_eyes:

Anime profile person please...if a game does something that another game of its genre hasn't done before that makes it unique...and to release something that is unique in an unproven medium is a _ _ _ _....

I'm looking forward to give this game a go coming weekend. I actually like R & M so it will be fun to see how it translate to a game narrative.

Some people can’t just say they don’t like something. They got to take a shit on something and act superior.
Yeah, this has been standard for the last couple of years unfortunately. Or it at least feels like it's become more of a "thing."

I watched LIRIK play some of this, doesn't look bad, reminded me a lot of DOOM Eternal. Arenas against enemies, stab kill moves, a grappling hook of some sort, and some puzzles. Some pretty neat music, and some decent humor.
 
Woke critics cant handle Justins random humor or it might be bad in this game, who knows, still getting it since I dont give a shit about the score. Hopefully there are no performance issues.
If this game has performance issues on current-gen, it is an issue of poor optimization. Game is not demanding at all.
 
I dont want to spoil anything but holy shit at the
TV in the living room
LOL.

Played for 2 hours and beat the first boss, fun game, like the combat, and it's funny to me, make sure to shoot the slums boy to get a funny achievement. Sadly the game runs poorly it nowhere near 60fps i feel and that's a shame. Also what's up with making so tiny subtitles? don't they check things like that before releasing a game?
Not sure we have the day 1 patch yet since i had no update for the game and it's still showing as coming soon.
 
But seriously I would start just spoiler tagging almost everything. Just a thought. Im going to stop talking about it.

So far my early impressions are very positive.
