Unskippable: Hunted: The Demon's Forge

"Is he holding a crystal skull?"
"That's it."
"I'm out of here."
"Done. Leaving."

I guess that was well-deserved?

At some point, this game starts to riff on itself regarding the outfits. Too bad the gameplay was a tad repetitive and unrewarding. I liked the characters, and the story has the single best element of choice trough gameplay that has been implemented in a game in the last few years.

What is the choice? I've no interest in playing the game, but you've piqued my interest in the story elements. Spoiler it of course.

Same here. I think I might look up an LP now. Too bad the Yogscast did just 2 episodes. Not surprising, however, seeing as how bullshit this game looks.

OT: Was this intro literally so bad that Graham and Paul had to Rage Quit......a cutscene?! Wow. That's like a fucking record.

Here it is:

Spoiler

At some point in the game, you'll run into a difficult battle, hard, and with constant waves of enemies that appear to never end. All trough that fight you are given the option to drink from a cauldron with a liquid that has been clearly shown to turn monsters into a powerful and more grotesque version. It'll be standing there, tempting you as your companion and you are getting steamrolled. If you are a good enough player, and well equiped, you don't need to drink it, but if you feel you can't handle it, the liquid turns the one who drinks it into an unstoppable killing machine, it makes the fight a breeze. You'll be faced with three more choices such as this, and each time you can rely on your skills, or on the liquid, except for the last time. At the last battle where the cauldron shows up, the character that drank the most won't wait for your command, he/she will just jump all over it and snarf it down, eliminating the choice for you. This foreshadows the ending, where, if you're really not going to play it

Spoiler

The one that drank the liquid will murder the other.

What I loved about it is that it wasn't a dialogue choice, it was a gameplay choice, made out of my necessity, that greatly affected the story. It's the only choice of this type the game has sadly, but it is marvelously implemented.

So what happens if

Spoiler

neither one ever drinks from the couldren?

And no - I'm never going to play this game - but I would like to know!

You get the happy ending.

Spoiler

The evil dude is destroyed, that pale chick with the money boobs's attempt at instigating the heroes against each other fails, they kill her, and go about like it was just another Tuesday.

 

[mjc0961]

Money boobs? Aww man, now normal boobs will never be quite as awesome as they used to be again.

 

[duchaked]

elf chicks really do have a great sense of style

but anyway...I kept thinking they were saying "the DEATH STAR"

 

[vxicepickxv]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought she said "Death Star".

That's actually what I thought it was until they showed the actual Stone (lol). So you're not alone. Also, is it me or is it ironic that the elf, and I mean the elf girl is the one who fell for touching the death stone and not the manly barbarian which he warned her not to do? I find that... new.

I've read a similar story, but it involved fruit instead.

"Oh great... it summoned a montage." is classic I will steal this and use it for my own amusement.

I'm going to do one better, and figure out how to work it into an RPG universe as an actual spell. "Summon Montage"

 

[mip0]

HAHAHA, best one yet! Can't choose a quote.
Longer than usual too, right? ye

 

[Eiv]

i actually quite enjoyed this game. A cover based shooter with a half decent story and a fantasy setting. Made my day .

OT: Awesome episode, WTB money boobs

Well, obviously it'll be a Bard spell...

Hello hunter-man.

Look at your elf. Now, back to me. Now back at your elf. Now back to me.

Sadly, she isn't me, but if she used the power of the Death Stone, she could look like me.

Look down, back up. Where are you? You're in a pitch-black room, with the woman your elf could look like.

What's that in your hand? Back to me, I have it. It's my left nipple.

Look again. The nipple is now coins.

Anything is possible when you use the Death Stone.

I'm fighting a dragon.

 

[Jfswift]

haha, damn you guys are funny.

 

[JonnWood]

I love that y'all went nope.avi and quit.

 

[JehuBot]

Favorite parts:

"Game Directer: Michael "MAXX" Kaufman" , "Game Directing TO THE MAXX !!"

and "Ladies and Gentlemen , METALICA !"

 

[Voulan]

Did they seriously just.....Rage Quit!?! But they're the only guys that can make these cutscenes somewhat bearable.

Wow, it must have been REALLY bad.

 

[The_Vigilant]

Somebody explain to me the purpose of a "playable section" within a cutscene where you literally run in a straight line for 10 seconds. A game must be serious garbage if its developers suspected that its target audience would need a tutorial section for "moving your character down a hallway."

 

[Sabrestar]

She can grant you anything you desire...

...but she can't grant herself pupils.
