Every Game Ever

Yes, that is totally Portal. Absolutely spot-on TF 2. Completely accurate to Dark Souls. And spec ops, of course, as well as New Vegas. Totally. And who can forget the gigantic fuckass tentacle monster in Far Cry 3.
Yes, I am being petty and intentionally missing the point of the joke.

That's the thing, this comic would have a point if a worryingly large number of high profile games recently released were like that. But they're not.thaluikhain said:Heh, I know what you mean. In fairness, "every game ever" is never really going to work, and "a worryingly large number of high profile games recently released, and substantial amounts of others" isn't very pithy.Aaron Sylvester said:Nothing I have played in the past couple of years comes even close to what was shown in that comic, it seems the writers are a bit behind times. Or maybe it really was a slow day as said above
Oh yeah, I totally remember that happening in...actually when WAS the last time that happened? Can't remember it happening in any games I've played this year and last year.
Yeah I'm gonna be that guy and say this is not really that funny or accurate.

That's not true! There are still the games where you are the [chosen one] and must spend [x] hours searching for the [mcguffin/mcguffins] in order to stop [antagonist] from destroying the world.
Hrm. Trying to figure out specific (High-profile, not universally considered terrible) recent games fit this description. Torchlight 1+2 do, Borderlands 2 does, and Mass Effect 1+2 (But not 3) almost do if you squint, but aside from those, I got nothing.
Anybody able to add some more? Because right now I'm seeing the point of the other people here saying this isn't representative. I know it's not supposed to be literally every game, but pretty much all the games I've played recently don't fit: XCOM, FTL, Far Cry 3, Fallen Enchantress, Assassin's Creed II (I'm a bit behind okay?), Civilization V, Recettear, Orcs Must Die!... None of them really fit this unless you stretch it pretty far.

To be honest I think the joke is somewhat... dated. If it had been made just after Ninja Gaiden 2 came out, then it'd be spot on.Mr.Squishy said:
That said, I did like the last panel. "Spoiler" indeed.
Apart from the large breasts, it is disturbingly close to Dead Space 3's plot though.
Eh?Falterfire said:
Apart from the monster being tentacally, Borderlands doesn't fit. There's no busty woman to save, there's no villain to stop until the very end (as the Vault was supposed to be about treasure), the main character isn't [generic white male with brown hair and stubble].
Borderlands 2 fit's most of it, except it's not got the [generic white male with brown hair and stubble], or the busty woman. Nor is the monster tentacally.
The only recent one that has it all is Dead Space 3.
Main villain = crazy British guy wanting to destroy the world by unleashing tentacle monster.
Sexy side-kick presumed dead, somehow gets captured by crazy British guy.
Tentacle monster gets unleashed and only crazy Issac can stop it, as he is crazy and can read the alien language.

Now that I think about it, the latest game I played that had a plot like this in the comic was DmC. I guess the exception is that Dante wants Mundus to release the big evil power, but otherwise it's pretty spot on. Other than that though.....
Anyways, having thought about it, I still can't figure out where I've seen the jacket from, although it does look very familiar.
EDIT: nevermind, I think felbot gave me the answer

I've long argued that Dragon Age 2 was the best game Bioware has attempted since KOTOR. They didn't succeed due to a short dev cycle and lazy resource recycling, but the core idea of the game was the most thought that Bioware has put into a game in years.TheVampwizimp said:
Haha loved the way she was getting bustier in each panel! Very true though, and it has started to happen in films.
In order to qualify as hyperbole, it would have to be exaggerating something that actually exists as a noticeable trend. Even then, hyperbole just on its own is rarely comedy.Zachary Amaranth said:
