    yeah. i don't remember what it's called but they've got a shit ton of historical battles in the game and some ridiculous number of weapons from different periods of history.
    So happy

    I wish they would do a War of the Worlds consistant with the original timeperiod for which the piece was written.


    that would just rule so totally hard.

    GET THIS

    A GAME LIKE REPUBLIC COMMANDO

    BUT LONGER THAN THREE HOURS

    God I'd love that game

    It is a fucking travesty that that game did not get a sequel

    i think a better approach would be instead of evil people from literature or history, how about angels or good people from history that try to stop you from passing through each circle? bercause for some reason or another you deserve to be there and they dont want you breaking free

    This shit ain't half bad.

    Like in the end it turns out you just broke the rules and tore open a hole out of hell for selfish reasons and now Heaven is fucked because they failed to stop you.

    I don't mean to be a douche about this... but
    you start the game in the ninth circle of hell, having no memory of mortal life or why you're being punished.

    You obviously betrayed someone close to you.

    Well yeah, of course. Either that or a suicide or some kind of super-surprise twist ending, like you commited some kind of horrible war crimes and betrayed your country's trust or something.

    your sins would have to be lots worse than that

    so bad that you would go down in history and never be forgotten

    sort of like a psychotic serial killer who murdered his whole family (shit his whole neighborhood)

    you could make a twisted metal twist to it and play as sweet tooth, only less clown like

    inferno is the whole reason for 'circles of hell' as far as i know.

    This just sounds like a basic premise for a game based on Dogma.

    Peeps trying to keep you from overruling God, and others trying to help you.

    Can't play after endgame if you side with the demons.

    That's a good point, actually. Of course, their souls could just be so corrupted by evil that they've almost become a part of hell's hierarchy based solely upon how much darkness they have in their hearts. Plus it'd be a lot more satisfying to beat the shit out of John Wayne Gacey than John Wayne.

    Talkin' bout dreams, huh?

    I'm having this great dream, of banging this chick back home that I'm cool with, and I wake up at 5:51AM. Bummer, but whatever, it's just a dream and I haven't jerked it all week. So there I am, thinkin' man, what a good dream. Oh well. Then I hear it.

    Splashing. I know this sound. It is the sound of pissing. In some sort of fucked up advance warning system, I sit up to see one of my roommates urinating in the trashcan. Well, it could be worse, he's done it in two corners of the room in the past. So I go berserk and yell at him and he wanders off to the toilet saying "oh yah good idea!"

    What the fuck, dude? No recollection of it at all later this morning.

    Metzger's dream was better, I think.
    somebody please do this math homework for me I don't understand these letters combined with numbers and superscripts and subscripts and what the fuck

    and i think the RPG genre would be wrong for this game cause it would need to be just more intense and fast paced and RPG games tend to be slow

    which is the main reason i havent played fallout for more than an hour

    youd probably have to do something like god of war, not necessarily a beat em up, but with that sort of pacing

    and each circle would have to be significantly different from the previous one, they probably shouldnt look like everyday depection of hell that people tend to picture

    im sort of thinking like a bill and ted's sort of thing here, like maybe one level is based on your childhood or something and a mistake you made then

    Yeah, the whole fire and brimstone thing is a little overplayed. Except maybe for one level. Just because throwing dudes into a fucking lake of fire and watching them flail around in the liquid hot magma before they sunk beneath the surface would be boss.

    edit: Good point, Peter. I guess the tutorial level would be crossing the river Styx or something.
