SO YEAH THIS GAME CALLED WET CAME OUT LIKE LAST WEEK OR SOMETHING AND I WAS TOTALLY TALKING ABOUT THE DEMO WHEN I MADE A TOPIC ABOUT IT. WELL I'VE FINISHED THE GAME ON HARD MODE (BECAUSE I AINT NO PUSSY ASS MOTHERFUCKER THAT PLAYS ON NORMAL) AND I THINK I NEED TO REVIEW THIS BAD BOY.

SO BASICALLY YOU PLAY AS THIS RUBI MALONE CHICK WHO IS A 'FIXER' WHICH BASICALLY MEANS SHE GETS SHIT DONE AS LONG AS YOU PAY HER. WELL SOME MOTHERFUCKER BACKSTABBED HER AND LEFT HER FOR DEAD AND SHE AINT HAVING THAT AND SETS OFF ON A QUEST TO GET REVENGE. AND MONEY. TYPICAL REVENGE STORY, YEAH. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT RUBI IS THAT SHE'S TOTALLY ONE OF THOSE STRONG FEMALE LEADS, BUT WITHOUT BEING WAY OVER SEXUALIZED. THEY DON'T GIVE HER DOUBLE D'S AND HAVE HER PRANCE AROUND IN SKIMPY CLOTHES. AND SHE'S A MUCH BETTER CHARACTER BECAUSE OF IT. EVEN IF SOME OF HER LINES ARE HILARIOUSLY CAMPY. BUT THAT'S THE POINT.

SO THE GAME DOES NOT HIDE THE FACT THAT IT IS 'BORROWING' ELEMENTS FROM A BUNCH OF B-MOVIE, GRINDHOUSE, DRIVE-IN 70S CHEESY ACTION FLICK MOVIES. THE GAME HAS A CONSTANT FILM GRAIN EFFECT (YOU CAN TURN IT OFF, BUT FUCKING WHY) AND EVERY LEVEL, WHILE LOADING THE NEXT AREA, THERE WILL BE A TRAILER FOR, LIKE, GOING TO THE CONCESSION STAND OR TALKING ABOUT HOW AMERICA IS AWESOME AND EVEN A TRAILER FOR SOME HORROR FLICK. IT'S KINDA AWESOME THE FIRST FEW TIMES. AND THEN IT KINDA LOSES ITS CLEVERNESS AS IT BECOMES MORE AND MORE OBVIOUS THAT IT'S JUST A WAY TO HIDE LOAD SCREENS.

THE GAME STARTS OFF WITH CRAZY SHIT GOING ON AND IT ONLY GETS CRAZIER FROM THERE. YOU START OUT WITH ONLY A FEW ABILITIES, BUT AS YOU LEVEL UP WITH STYLE POINTS, YOU TURN INTO A FUCKING DEATH MACHINE, MOTHERFUCKER FUCK YEAH YOU CUT NIGGAS UP LIKE A MOTHERFUCKING SAMURAI OR SOME SHIT. OR YOU SHOOT DUDES IN THE FACE WITH A GOD DAMN SHOTGUN AND THEIR HEAD EXPLODES LIKE SCANNERS OR SOME SHIT. YOU NEVER RUN OUT OF THAT SLO-MO POTION AND YOU'RE ENCOURAGED TO BE AS INSANE AS FUCK TO GET POINTS.

Okay enough trying to capitalize on the demo thread. The game is full of things that are kinda cool once and then are significantly less so. It's short, but by the third level you will really start to think "Man I did this two levels ago". Every level has a section (sometimes two) where you have to close doors unless enemies respawn forever. And in every single one of these, the game spawns an enemy with a god damn minigun. It's annoying. Once the novelty of being badass wears off, you realize that it's full of bullshit difficulty and a sense of deja vu. The enemy bullets take off, like, two bars of health and seem to home in on you. And you are shooting a dude in the face with a maxed out shotgun at point blank and they are not being made dead.

The soundtrack is tits. That means it's fucking awesome. One of the best I've heard. I want it. Now.


It's a fun game that is shallow and has an awesome soundtrack I'd finish reviewing this in more detail but lunch is ready. So, like, rent it or something.


3/5.

*ignores the mass of caps*

I've seen the commercial a few days ago. The game looked like nothing special...then I saw the name and started laughing my ass off. I'm somewhat surprised no one made a topic about it before this.

If you find the soundtrack, post links (or at least name of the songs/album)

There have been TWO topics about it before this.

I bet you don't even know why it is called Wet and are thinking, incorrectly, that it has to do with a vagina.

*does a search*

...well I'll be damned, there are two others o_O

Ironically enough, no. My first thoughts on this, as difficult as it may be for me and everyone else to believe, were that its a another crappy assassin game...a crappy assassin game with a very bad name ._.

I started laughing my ass off at the fact that the main character is female and its called "WET" -more about the fact that its sounds sexist

Aside from that, feel free to tell me why its called "WET" (my first guess is an acronym).

First off: she's not an assassin. Holy shit just because she kills dudes doesn't mean she's an assassin. She is paid to find people and/or things.

And Wet refers to hands literally wet with blood. It has been used by the KGB and the CIA and MI5 and others. It has nothing to do with the fact that she's a woman. They go out of their way to make the main character NOT a walking sexbomb. It would be stupid of them to then name the game based on something that has to do with sex.\


Also there was nothing ironic about any of that

Well, all I saw in the commercial was a gun/sword wielding brunette killing a bunch of guys. Not much information to tell me shes not an assassin.

And since the game didn't seem like anything special I didn't look into it.

Actually what I found ironic was the fact that the first thing I thought of when I heard the name wasn't sexual (reread the "crappy assassin game" part)

You still don't seem to understand that I'm talking about a commercial -an orgy of random clips from the game. How am I supposed to know how many missions they were from?

On a side note, assassins (particularly in games) tend to kill more than just their target. Some are targets, the rest are guards. Not mentioning explosives, which kill everyone in range. So yes, assassins do kill a "bunch of people"

Altair did not go around indiscriminately murdering dudes.

Just call em ninjas and give it a rest, christ.

She's not a ninja either, though.

then call her a bounty hunter

Applejack

But she's not a bounty hunter. There are no bounties on anyone in the game ever.

mercenary? its the same thing really...

She's not a mercenary. She's a god damn Fixer.

Ashe
09-28-2009, 08:52 PM
and in non-game terms that would mean she is a *insert answer here*

Game looks lame...
And I hate it when they throw around words like fixer...
She's not by any means a fixer..., any interpretation of it...

sigh, and they just played the commercial as I wrote this...
not to knock anyone who likes it, if your into those type of games...
