I'm fine with that shit too. That's because video games aren't real! Same goes for TV and movies. I remember when Majin Boo destroyed the entire fucking planet earth in Dragon Ball Z. Totally cool with that because anime is not real life.

Well now that you've pointed it out it's either gonna be an instant hit or too obvious to be of any comedic value.

So I'm tackling "Damn I'm Good" now. Any of you guys wanna take a crack at it too?

I'll say this, its definitely harder. Steroids and Beer make a much bigger difference in this difficulty.

I just got out of the casino, but the Assault Commander at the end made things tough.

If any of you guys do try it, make sure not to select new game. Play it through the chapter select. If you pick new game, it wipes out your ego bonuses, and enemies do so much damage on Damn I'm Good that you'd have to be a perfect run pro to start it fresh.

Yeah I seriously didn't use Steroids or Beer at all. Might try another difficulty some other time.

Believe me, they've already come in handy on this run on a couple of occasions where I was trapped in a room surrounded by Pig Cops and Assault Captains. :D

I didn't use them much on my original run either, but a combination of both saved my ass when you're shrunk and have to fight the full sized Enforcer. I punched a giant to death. :lol:

Finally got around to playing this tonight. 3/10 is seriously an underrated review. I thought it was hilarious. Not perfect, but a lot of fun and funny. Mini-Duke was great, girls making out made it perfect. :lol:

Game feels like a cheap mod. I'd say after several hours 3/10 doesn't sound too harsh.

I'm hoping to get around to beating Forever during my 5 (woo-hoo) day vacation.

Yeah, the game isn't great, but it still is fun to play. Titty City bordered on being a Leisure Suit Larry level knock off, but the gratuitous nudity is too damned silly to take seriously. One thing I'll say about the game is that is does have a unique character to it, and that I don't regret purchasing it (I used a gift card, but ya know..)

I had a chance to play the demo on 360, from my limited experience with it, I didn't find it enjoyable.
