Critical Miss: Moon Diver

[The Wooster]

Which is a massive disappointment because, to me at least, the idea of smashing an army of everyday household items has far more appeal than slicing through the glumly, generic, colour-coded robots, and laser-spewing doodads that the game actually features.

It's a strange design decision considering the premise. Why not have the player fight garden gnomes? Or laundry baskets? Or tractors? Or hardcover copies of Atlas Shrugged that flap around the levels like bats, shrieking obscenities and firing laser beams from their densely packed pages? The story allows for it. The building blocks are there.

This is why you write for a web comic and not video games.

You've got me there. Can I try again?

"It's a strange design decision considering the premise. Why not have the player fight Russians? Or Russians? Or Russians? Or Russians? The story allows for it. The building blocks are there."

They'll let me write an FPS someday! *sobs*

Do we really have to have the several paragraphs talking about the concept in great detail after every comic now?


Don't do it, it's an ugly trend. Explaining the subject matter after the joke's been made just dampens the laughter you've been left with.

Toast. Burned toast.
Well, fuck.

Man, I was excited for Necromachina shitty-ass name Moon Diver.

Oh well.

EDIT: Square. Well Written Plot. Not both.

That was a scarf? I thought he just had really weird hair...

 

[Rad Party God]

This comic was delightfully toasty.

 

[Gindil]

Strider. Yoichi?

Sequel. NOW!

WANT!!!

Boob shield renders your assault fruitless.

As Keanu would say, this comic is MOST EXCELLENT!

 

[Dan Shive]

ANY inanimate object? Like... clothes? I think the bad guy would win under these conditions >_<

 

[Madara XIII]

Hahaha nice.
Too bad its not as good as i had hoped it would be.
ill still probably get it just because it looks like a fun Hack n Slash...
As soon as im done enjoying Strania:The Stella machine.
Seriously, this game is awesome.
Dat soundtrack.

Right now I'm just amazed that they made a Final Fantasy 7 joke. "Shall I give you Despair?!"

:O ZOMG TOAST!! I Love Despair now!

The fact that you posted a Sephiroth quote has me squealing my fangirls screams into what was otherwise a very dreary, soul-crushing day.

I-I'm so happy...!!! ^.^

VWOOT!!

Now if only they can do one with Albert Wesker

"Phtchoof phtchoof" wonderful onomatopoeia there. The sound of swift, crumbly death immortalized.

I need to be honest here and admit that the noise wasn't mine. Leels over at Name Game deserves the credit.

 

[Vitor Goncalves]

Now I need Breakfast. Anyway, I still think a fondue pan is more life threatening than the toaster, melted cheese hot like lava and alcohol in flames with sharp forks...

And Keanu Reeves, you inanimated bastard.

And yet another title missing the PC.

Spoiler: Does anyone like any toast?

 

[PunkRex]

So I guess what you're saying is, you guys felt burned by this game?

Thanks but you should add some content so the mods don't send you a warning or put you on probation. Those sorts of things can add up if you're not careful.

Yeah... seems so, this is the second time this has happened to me for just cracking a joke, Jesus Christ. Still, I like your posts guy, there always worth a chuckle.

 

[CharrHearted]

Was that a sephiroth quote I just saw there? D:

 

[Biodeamon]

YEAH TOAST

Am i the only one was reminded of the poltergeist objects from Alan Wake?

This is why you write for a web comic and not video games.

As opposed to what, making snarky posts on a forum?

Anyway, the problem with this comic is probably that Moon Diver's kind of a niche game. If you haven't played it--and you probably haven't--then you're not likely to get the joke. But hey, it has toast on boobs violence, and that's something I've never seen before.
