aneurysm time!

[viranimus]

This nearly collapsed my head in.


Battleship: The movie: The video game: Based on a true board game, Featuring Aliens... the next big First person shooter..... ON LAND! Of which It doesnt even show a single instance when your on..... A BATTLESHIP

Seriously can anyone point to a worse concept in gaming history?

 

[distortedreality]

I r confused.

I've got no idea what the fuck is going on.

 

[tippy2k2]

A worse concept...that's a tough one, however:

Spoiler

Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter:_The_Movie_%28arcade_game%29]

A good video game gets turned into a shitty movie, which in turn gets turned into a shitty game. At least Battleship has the chance to be good due to Liam Neeson being in it. Seriously, if he gets to do the "You Sunk My Battleship" line, I may just kill myself there for there is nothing that is ever going to top that in my lifetime.

 

[Tony2077]

the game sounds like a retarded idea but i have to admit the movie has me interested

 

[way2sl0w]

Totally looking forward to "Call of The Movie Cash-in: Modern 'Modern Warfare' Rip-off"

 

[Fleetfiend]

This is just silly.

I hardly see how the movie is based off of the game in first place. I honestly think they should have just called it "Aquaformers" instead.

 

[skywolfblue]

That's a real game?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

That is one of the most ...unique... jumps of logic I've seen in a while.

"So we need a new game, lets do Battleship! Yeah, oh but first-person-shooters are all the rage, so lets make it an FPS! And throw in aliens for good measure!"

How did they manage that with a straight face?

 

[RatRace123]

I don't even know what in the hell.
A Battleship game, where you do not pilot battleships. A game called Battleship where you are playing on land shooting stuff with a gun.

Hey, you know what, if they can do that, then I'm gonna do a game based off of Candy Land. It's gonna be a survival horror game, in which you're trapped inside a mansion trying to survive waves of the undead and a serial killer.

 

[King of Asgaard]

What, seriously???
This ISN'T a joke?!

A worse concept...that's a tough one, however:



Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter:_The_Movie_%28arcade_game%29]

OP's is more ludicrous.
It was the 80s, look at all the terrible film adaptations that came out at that time.

 

[LetalisK]

And it's published by Activision.

Why am I no longer surprised?

 

[Supertegwyn]

That movie came out a few weeks ago.


It was terrible.

 

[viranimus]

I had to take the day off to recover from this....


I think if anyone anywhere buys a copy of this, regardless of the price, regardless if the game is phenomenal, regardless of an uneducated soccer mom using it as a baby sitter, Anyone rewarding activision for making this should be brought up on crimes against humanity.

The concept is that bad, as it was suggested might actually collapse the space time continuum and render reality as a null value.

 

[Vault101]

the fact that the battleship movie has aleins and rhiana is enough for me

but a first person shooter?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LETS GO INSANE TIME

by head is broken

 

[Andy Shandy]

I honestly have no words to describe this situation. Battleship: The Game based on Battleship: The Movie based on Battleship: The Board Game, and it's an FPS on land? There are not enough facepalms in the world to sum up how stupid this is

Doesn't hurt to try though!

 

[Crazy Zaul]

Just saw the review of this on destructiod. I thought 'Battleship was about ALIENS????'
Then I found out its a land FPS. Quantum Temporal Seismic megafacepalm.

Oh, here's one I haven't seen before:

Spoiler: Archeology facepalm

 

[II2]

Horrible.

Project's madder than a bastard on father's day. I can imagine the pre-production meetings for this thing were conducted cracking whippets and amyl nitrate circa a time someone tried to impress Michael Bay by showing him the VFX from Crysis.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I don't think I have enough palms or faces to adequately show how stupid this is.

Although it isn't the dumbest of things by a good distance, though.

 

[TilMorrow]

This and Battle Los Angeles. Crappiest games ever. What possesses some developers?
