That's so great.

That looks bonkers.

[Dimnos]

By bonkers do you mean fooken wetaded?

[bigtimecow]

Dimnos, where's your ytmnd signature?

[Sacks]

That's bad as hell. 50 Cent knows how to have a good time.

[Lobo Tommy]

Why isn't he dead yet? Someone needs to shoot him nines times again.

[pac-man]

I've got to give Mr. Cent some credit. Only in America can getting shot and not dying be parlayed into the kind of success that makes you the star of not just one videogame, but a videogame franchise.

[Sacks]

Why do you feel 50 Cent deserves to die, Lobo Tommy? Is it because he's a successful black man? Is it because RAP stands for Reatards Attempting Poetry(LOL!!)? Do you feel this stance will help you connect better with your peers?

[Tadao]

He has a strong opinion on what music is and everyone else is wrong. That is why he is just now finding out about the Dead Milkmen 20 years too late. He's cool.

Charles Bronson ur my hero.

[Fathom Zero]

Edward James Olmos is my hero.

He used the fact that he was shot to become successful. And he is still milking the fact that he is from the ghetto, even though he is a multi-millionare.

[Sacks]

Yeah alright, I wiki'd it and the only reason he's as wealthy as he is is because he was shot in the ghetto. YOU WIN THIS ROUND LOBO TOMMY.

[Tadao]

I'm not a 50 cent fan, but I think his being shot on made him rich faster. He was already on a fast track of over hype.

[Sacks]

I'll admit a big part of his appeal WAS the fact that he's been shot, but the reason he is so rich is because the man is a money managing/investing genius.

[Dr. Boogie]

And yet here he is, trying once again to make game with himself as the lead despite how shitty his previous games were.

[Sacks]

You're looking at this all wrong, Boogie. He's making a game to his specifications where he's the main character. He's paying for it, he's playing it, other people buying it is just gravy on his fantasy sundae. Thick sausage country gravy.

[Dr. Boogie]

So he's an arrogant nitwit with money, then.

He should put some of his money away for when sneering goes out of style.

[Sacks]

Good grief.

[darkvare]

well if i'm not mistaking the first one sold around a million copies

[Dr. Boogie]

Good grief.

"You're in the Middle East, Charlie Brown!"

well if i'm not mistaking the first one sold around a million copies

Yes, his fans couldn't wait to scoop up his crummy game.

[Sacks]

I think what Boogie is trying to say is, even though he's making money off of things he enjoys he should stop because sometimes he makes silly faces and it's not very becoming.

[Dr. Boogie]

Oh no, not at all. All I'm saying is that he makes shitty games, and the only reason they make money is because fans of his, like you Sacks, are willing to buy anything he wants you to buy.

[Sacks]

Actually I didn't play the first one, I don't own any systems to play this one on and I don't own any of his music. If I listened to the radio and he came on, I'd probably change the station. I'll admit to watching that movie about his life on HBO in the middle of the night, and that I was actually pleasantly surprised at how mature and serious it turned out to be. I don't know too many rap guys that would risk their reputation filming a scene where they wrestle with other men naked in a prison shower. From what I've seen and heard him say the dude comes off as a fairly smart and decent guy. I used to go around blindly hating people like most of the posters in this thread until it just got to the point where it was exhausting.

[Dr. Boogie]

That's quite touching, sacks. I did try his game because I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt after I enjoyed the Def Jam wrestling games (with the exception of Icon), and his game was shitty. A weak shooter with bad controls and a lousy camera angle. In essence, like a movie tie-in game that sucks, but makes money because fans eat that shit up. So no, do excuse me if I base my opinions of him on the garbage he turns out, rather than on the fact that he engages in nude wrestling on film.

Anyway, the thread has gotten a little of track. The point is that unless fiddy has learned something from the last game he made (which he likely hasn't, given that the previous game made money), his new game will be awful. In the past few months, I've seen crystal skulls mentioned in three different titles: Indiana Jones 4, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Blood in the Sand. Of those three, NG2 looks to be far and away the most interesting.

[Sacks]

It worries me that you don't find even a sliver of joy from the fact that the concept is so completely ridiculous that it's hilarious. I imagine 50's games are good in the same way that Bad Dudes or NARC were. The game is terrible, but you're laughing too hard through out the whole thing for it to bother you.

[Fathom Zero]

I think that this game will be as good as Army of Two was.

It is a ridiculous concept, and it did make me chuckle. The problem is that it's likely going to be treated with an undue amount of seriousness. More importantly, though, the game itself will probably blow, and terrible plot will only carry you so far in a game with bad gameplay.

Ouch.

[pac-man]

The premise of the game is magnificently absurd. If it were to turn out to be a good game, it'd be great if it started a trend of putting celebrities in roles that hardly befit them. Maybe a Kane & Lynch that replaces the titular duo with Laurel and Hardy, or an Elder Scrolls title in which all the key NPC's are played by members of the Police Academy cast.

[Dr. Boogie]

People, please. Has it really been that long since Snakes on a Plane was in theaters?

[Sacks]

I was safe in Thailand when that happened.

[Dr. Boogie]

Ah.

Well to sum it up, people hooted and hollered over the internet about how the movie sounded hilariously bad, and there was all this hoopla about it, but it just plain sucked when it actually came out.

That's what I predict will happen with this game: ironic hype followed by a big letdown.

[pac-man]

Snakes on a Plane delivered in many more ways than this game can or will. Watching Sam Jackson say, "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!" is for me what watching Kenneth Brannaugh do the St. Crispin's Day Speech is for sophisticated types.

It's certainly going to be interesting to see what 50 Cent's third game will be about.

[MetalMilitia]

I don't know why they don't just make, like, "Singstar - 50 Cent Edition" instead of these POS shooters.

Who gives a fuck about decent the guy is when he makes shitty music.

"Wow this band sucks."

"Dude, the singer is a really nice guy, you can't hate them. Learn respect."

"Fuck you and die."

[liquidstatik]

hey man this is a video game not an album

[Tadao]

I bet it had a great sound track with lots of gats firing off.

YOU ARE A SPOILED CHILD. GO AWAY FROM HERE.

[HellBeast]

I only learned about this thing like 2 days ago. The concept is so ridiculous i didnt believe my friend when he told me about it.

[Tadao]

There is a concept? I don't really want to know.
