The Guy Game - Adult Console Trivia Nirvana?
Thanks to IGN Cube for their preview of the the adult console trivia title, The Guy Game, as created by the "newly formed Topheavy Studios... run by Jeff Spangenberg, former head of Retro Studios, which was responsible for the GameCube hit Metroid Prime." The fruits of this illustrious pedigree seem to be a game that "...features topless, M-rated nudity... [and] integrates drinking game A**hole, allowing for custom rules." The title even features the 'Flash-O-Meter', which "...is rated Soft & Squishy, Sorta Chubby, and Super Stiff", depending on the amount of nudity involved, and the game also features a "stage of play... called BallzOut, which a bunch of mini-games designed around clever ball physics." Sadly, the title "is still looking for a publisher", even if IGN are "somewhat excited by it."
The Maxim/FHM generation get their own game.
Wonder if the nudity will be airbrushed?
drinking game A**hole
I wonder what naughty word is under those stars? Arthole? Addhole? I sure do wish I knew, that would be swell.
See you in church Sunday!
This game is sad simply because we can't put on some pr0n and drink with our friends. We make ourselves work for it now. Answering trivia is fun, but it seems like your only motivation in this game is to get drunk and see naked women, neither of which involves a game normally. YDKJ always was kind of fun at a party even without the "jubblies" though.
Out of all systems, they pick GC... Well, it could possibly be the easiest to operate and easiest to find power button under the influence. But then there's always still the matter of turning your tv to the right channel..
I've never understood the point of games that try to titillate.
In this internet age it would be far quicker to find a far more realistic image by just firing up your browser of choice.
I have no sig yet I must scream.
At least we won't have to put up with Sierra's humour
Why am I logged in on the main slashdot page, but as soon as I go to Games or any other section, it says I need to log in? I hit refresh, it stays the same. I go back to the main page and I'm still logged in. Hit refresh, still logged in there.
...Make an AO MMO sex game where all you do is have sex with other people's characters. All the free publicity from the religous right, the far left, and Joe Lieberman crying bloody murder, will guarantee an instant hit. Even if the game sucks. And it most likely would. If anyone would buy a game like The Guy Game, or a Strip Poker game, or something like that where they just get some tits flashed at them, they'd sure as hell buy this. They can even charge monthly fees. And developers love those.
Now theres a game that should be eye-toy compatible. Or a killer-app for Xbox Live.
(I wouldn't play this game, but you have to admit, it would sell. Especially among Slashdot readers.)
... even if IGN are "somewhat excited by it."
So they're "sorta chubby"?
I'm going to watch moms buy this for thier kids, and then end up suing someone.
i thought to be a gamecube game, it needed to be for little kids, because real men only have xbox? oh, wait...gamecube was the only platform to have BMX XXX entirely uncensored wasn't it...oops, im a stereotypical asshole.
How pathetic do you have to be to want to make games like this? Are there really THAT many guys in the game industry who can't get laid??
What you're really doing is thinking "hey, whats-her-face almost completely naked on the cover. Hey, more hot photos of whats-her-face inside. Hmmm, some vaguely interesting articles I wouldn't care that much about if it weren't for these "bonus" photo spreads. I'll buy it!"
I was thinking the same thing... Change all the visuals to be more kitschy japanese styles, and this game would do well in japan, even in arcades.
When I started reading the article "Adult contest game", I thought this would be real cool, specially for non gamers, imagine a multiplayer game show with questions about sexuality, wars, literature,politics etc. Unfortunately a lot of people confuse "Adult" with "completely immature" what a shame.
...next
Like I said in a previous post, this kind of games never take off due to their lack of quality, obviously the publisher is relying on its shock value instead, and at the end that will sink the game. Judging by the er... success of BMX-XXX I wouldnt expect a publisher taking this one soon. They are not idiots you know?
A drinking game A**hole? that sentence doesnt even make sense not even in a crude way. And thanks but definetily I dont need a game console to play a drinking game.
Im glad IGN is getting paid for publishing articles like this, but I would recommend them to publish something that wouldnt diminish their credibilty this much. Thank you!
Go ahead MOD my day!
More opinions here
I would just play a Jast,Himeya soft,Peach Princess Title or the countless legion of other Hentai Game company's products.
... because I'm gay and like naked men. Talk about discrimination; this isn't for ALL guys out there.
Now video games and gamers can finally get the respect they deserve from mainstream culture. Oh, wait...
It's sad when choosing an installation directory on your own qualifies you as an "advanced user."
Meh. Not even the under-18 minors would want to buy this crap. Hell, they could get better quality on the internet and p2p for free...
He was former president of Retro which made Metroid Prime and is making this game.
Talk about a fall from grace...
HAHA! That's it:)
No, he's right. They do have a few good articles. Or at least they did when I last read one which was a long while ago.
I can sum up any Cosmopolitan article with the following.
"You are worthless/fat/ugly. You need a man. Here's how to get one."
Will he try and get bought out by someone, like Nintendo, to make a fast buck? Will he actually still be there when the game gets to completion (if it ever does?).
If you work with him, don't trust the man as far as you could throw him!
HE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED! Ask the Retro people about that!
