[quote name="mark"]<b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: So godhand is pretty good! Worm and Fabio were correct! <b><font color=DarkSalmon >INC</font></b>: is that a band or a game? <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: A game <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: that IGN gave 3/109 <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: 3/10 <b><font color=DarkSalmon >INC</font></b>: wow <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: but 3/109 is more dramatic <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: I really like the idea that IGN has 109 points on which to rate a game <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: In many ways, the game plays like a guy's attempt to fired that, sitcom style, fails and is actually great <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: like, at one point, early on, you have a boss fight against two giant, half-naked, feathered, gay men who scream insults at you through a thick lisp <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: like the designer was like "There, they'll never let THAT through" <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: but the battle is in the game, and it is awesome <b><font color=DarkSalmon >INC</font></b>: haha nice <b><font color=DarkSalmon >INC</font></b>: I also like the 109 potential <b><font color=DarkSalmon >INC</font></b>: oh, I remember godhand <b><font color=DarkSalmon >INC</font></b>: you run around really fast? <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: yeah, and just smash guys in the face <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: or balls <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: which turns their face blue there is a loud DING <b><font color=DarkSalmon >INC</font></b>: haha <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: it's so old school you can't even JUMP <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: or at least, as best as I can tell, because the game tries to tell you as little as possible about how to play it <b><font color=DarkSalmon >INC</font></b>: haha <b><font color=DarkSalmon >INC</font></b>: yeah, missing a jump is always disconcerting at first <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: at one point you come to a ledge and it says "press O (which is the action button) to JUMP UP!" <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: just to remind you that the designers know what jumping is <b><font color=DarkSalmon >INC</font></b>: yeah, your character isn't completely unable to navigate small ledges <b><font color=lime >mark</font></b>: in the context of the game, you are trying to hunt down a green midget who just ran off the with the antidote to the bite of a poison chihuahua[/quote]
