Heh.
I guess this is referring to some new game I have never heard of?

 

[NameGenerated]

:lol

That does bug me though.

inFamous. And the comic is spot on, amazingly. Most Penny Arcade comics aren't very good.

 

[AniHawk]

Yeah, Infamy or something.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

The previous one was good too (it's inFamous).

 

[GK86]

:lol Both of them were funny.

 

[Dascu]

This is the first time I've noticed that Penny Arcade characters only have 4 fingers.

 

[CharminUltra]

I actually prefer this one a lot more than the new one.

Haha! That is pretty good! Wow, what happened, Penny Arcade?

This is the first time I've noticed that Penny Arcade characters only have 4 fingers.

3, actually. And a thumb. Pretty standard for comics.

Oh okay, so that explains this one a bit more. Game doesn't look all that interesting to me. Still enjoy the jab at most game design, though.

 

[dejan]

Yeah, Infamy or something.

Yeah, I read on this board it's pretty similar to a game called Prototype.

It didn't look interesting to me at all. And then I played the demo. Holy fuck.

I just wish I had the time to play it.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I think it's Prototype.

 

[AniHawk]

Yeah, I read on this board it's pretty similar to a game called Prototype.

Oh, I've heard of Prototype. Is Infamy a ripoff of Prototype?

 

[Shinjitsu]

Yeah, I read on this board it's pretty similar to a game called Prototype.

I heard you can't drive cars or pick up guns.

 

[Oblivion]

this comic is made funnier if you pretend the guy getting electrocuted is tom chick

 

[EmCeeGramr]

It's like City of Heroes meets Prototype. The developer just popped up last year or something.

 

[Aselith]

[RevenantKioku]

All these crazy games I've never heard of.

 

[Lord Phol]

:lol both. Didn't know GAF hated Penny Arcade that much.
Think they are mostly funny and spot on, and there is no drama or creepy perverted artist doing them.

You're never heard of Nathan Cole Drake McHale? His rugged looks and every-man demeanor have earned him GAF's Best New Original Character Award™ for the last two years.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

mean GAF thread is hilarious :lol

(and the strip(s) is also great.

 

[bathala]

:lol :lol
both great

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Penny Arcade is the Tom Chick of webcomics.

Nope, been too busy playing JRPGs with Fairy McPantsOfBelts and his cousins.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

sony certain fans hate them and everyone else finds them kinda funny?

 

[SapientWolf]

Oh, I've heard of Prototype. Is Infamy a ripoff of Prototype?

It sounds like it. But that PvP comic in the OP is hilarious.

 

[GK86]

I thought GAF hated VGCats and loved PA?

 

[SumGamer]

Pretty spot on. I did both things in the demo. Take down, revive, take down, revive +++ and they'd still be thankful for your action.

The fence is the most annoying thing I found in the demo as well.

 

[pizzaguysrevenge]

You post on GAF and you've never heard of InFamous?

You're either stupid or lying.

Mods seriously need to think about [IRONIC][/IRONIC] tags because some people are always loosing it.

 

[AkuMifune]

Hey man, at least the chain link fence is a step up from the invisible walls that plague every other superhero! :lol

it'll always be something.

 

[Ramenman]

Both of them are awesome :lol

This thread is fun too.

I thought GAF hated VGCats and loved PA?

There's no "GAF". There's only people. And a certain minority who likes to go in every comic thread to say they suck if they don't make you actually laugh out loud, or if the 2nd pannel is funnier than the third one.
And there's also conspiracy-theory-type guys, and they like PA threads because they can say PA just hates sony.

 

[RevenantKioku]

I've seen the title but I know nothing about it. Other than it has issues with capitalization. Looking at Wikipedia it is a sandbox game and not being released in Japan. Sounds like a pretty few good reasons for me to not pay much attention to it.

 

[KTallguy]

I remember thinking the EXACT same thing in the demo. He can scale a building, but he can't hop a chainlink fence. :lol

But it makes sense that you can't shoot lightning through it.
The climbing thing is just LOL. :lol

Oh and I'm glad I can enjoy both Western and Eastern games.
Or Hybrids! Like MGS4!

 

[RevenantKioku]

I'm glad you're glad!
I lost interest in trying to force myself to like things to appease others, though.

Yeah, had that same thought in the demo too. Is he unable to climb it because he would electrocute himself (like in water), or is it just the barbed wire at the top? One of the gaming world's great mysteries...

I thought the original comic was funnier but this second one was a freebie they chucked in so I won't complain

No need to force yourself to enjoy anything
Just go with the flow man.

In the "protect the medical crate" level, there are actually chain link fences without any barbed wire that you can jump into, but he'll just slide off. Like warm butter.

 

[Yagharek]

Heh.

Wouldn't the mesh act as a faraday cage and stop electricity from passing through?

Edit: yup

Thank you for feeling feelings.

This one is allot better.

[DrXym]

I hate games with ridiculous untraversable barriers. Most WWII games feature indesctructible gates, walls and doors you can't pass. My "favourite" example was first the Godfather game where the unstoppable killing machine protagonist couldn't climb over 2 foot high railings.

My personal favourite is any WWII game where you've got grenades, some sort of rocket launcher or a flamethrower and have enough power in 2 melee shots to punch/kick someone to death, yet you are completely stumped by a locked wooden door.

But the ultimate was Red Faction. I blew the fuck out of the side of a building and the wooden door was left unscathed as was the glazed window which was now suspended in mid-air.

The second game also has temperamental fences. Coppola would be ashamed of himself.

:lol

2 comics for the game..it seems that PA guys love the game
