Nice one Bizkit. I'm a little ashamed to say that the no talking thing didn't click until you pointed it out >.<

 

 

Thank you ^^ I had a general idea of what I wanted but I was a little rushed. At least that part went perfectly then lol

Week 6 Challenge is going to be late by a 12 hours or so. My brain is fried at the moment because counting product in a grocery store is stupidly tedious work. So yeah, delay in this weeks challenge.  

[solidbatman]

Week Six

​Apologies for being late on this week. I was way too tired to bother doing a challenge last night. To make up for it, everyone who posts within 6 hours gets 10 bonus points (in addition to the regular 5 points). Within 48 is still 5, and anything after will be 3 points. Points from last week will be added before I sleep tonight. Or after I wake up. I dunno, I'm really tired still. Anyway, this weeks challenge!

 

You have just become the marketing manager for a video game company! Apparently, your resume qualifications of "Can eat 3 bags of Cheesy Nacho Doritos and drink 64 Code Red Mountain Dews in one sitting" impressed the board enough to hire you. Make your best sales pitch for the worst possible game you can think of! Mislead me, lie to me, betray me (just like my ex. I will never forget, nor forgive). Use whatever means necessary because the best sales pitch receives another 10 bonus points! Remember to pick the worst possible game, and make the best, most misleading sales pitch you can think of using any and all means necessary.  The game you pick has to be a real game.

How could I not talk about this game? Hehe

 

Duke Nukem Forever, I mean come on, everyone has literally waited forever this game. How could anyone possibly not want to play something that has been called vaporware for so long. We've had so many different programming and design teams working on this game, you just have to give it a try. After so many revisions, how could this be anything less than the best game of all times. When you look at a game that takes this long to make, you know there is quality there. Nothing gets you more girls and fans than playing this game. Heck, we can even throw in a special offer of turning you into the greatest muscle man of all times. All you have to do is buy our amazing game!

Ladies and gentlemen,

 

I am going to present to you today the thinking man’s racing game:

 

Picture this – 30,000 lbs. 1,000 ft-lbf of torque.

 

A semi-truck sits on a mountain road, primed to blast forward at a moment’s notice. Suddenly, a jarring oozing yellow breaks the tension; it flashes the word READY out from the æther, marking the beginning of a race that’ll not only test your mettle as a driver, but also take you for an existential ride and force you to explore contours of this road called life.

 

Presenting…

 

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing

 

FEATURES:

 

Non-existent AI: You move ahead of the starting line, only to find that all your fellow road-warriors are still sitting tidily. That’s right – Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is the first adversarial racing game to feature a complete lack of artificial intelligence. By doing so, the player is forced to take a step back and take a wide look at and consider the competitive nature that’s pervasive of the human condition.  Who are we really competing against? Ourselves? The constraints of our mortality? That dickhead Bill in accounting?

 

Lack of Collision Detection: This feature is meant to be a statement about the ephemeral, of the lightness of being. Drive through houses, obstacles, fall to the bottom of bridges. Like Ozymandias, our achievements shall be washed away with the passage of time.

 

No Sound: Allows for enhanced contemplation.

 

No limit to the speed you can reverse: A commentary on that in spite of how hard we must fight to even just incrementally move ahead in both our personal and professional lives, it is exponentially easier to backslide or even lose it all.

 

An extraordinary physics engine: Push forward, unaffected by any change in the terrain. This is meant to mark a more positive look at the human condition: our ability to overcome and face adversity head on.

 

YOU’RE WINNER: The race ends with a gentle reminder… you’re winner.

 

 

 

With this property, we hope to usher in an era of high-brow, atmosphere focused games. Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing will be poised to take Game of the Year on virtue of its depth of soul and meaning filled moments.

Hello and welcome once again to the biggest and baddest gaming spotlight you all know and love: The Best of Amazing Games! Today we're here to tell you about the game so nice you'll play it twice, with moves so cool you'll stay in school and a story so exciting time'll fly like lightning. What game are we talking about? It should be obvious by now but we're gonna let you guess for yourselves!

 

 

Of

 

Did I hear you say you want the same fantasy story you've read in every book you've ever picked up? Of course I did! After bringing famous author R. A. Salvatore on the team we asked him to forget everything he knew about storytelling and start everything from scratch just so you players could enjoy an experience as unique as it is cliché. You want elves in tune with nature? Eccentric but genius gnomes? Ferocious orcs and goblins? We've got'em all right here! We know the stereotypes you folks love.

 

Amalur

Speaking of cliché, we've picked out the best possible moveset for our characters! With 2 entire buttons devoted to combat, you can witness your favorite 3-move-combos again and again and again! But wait, you ask, how will I possibly choose which of those buttons to press? I'm glad you asked! With our ground-breaking programming techniques we've made it so you'll win no matter what button you press. I know! The wonders of science amaze me too!

:

What sets this game apart from all of the others you could be playing? Well. We've seen just how popular those online games are nowadays and decided to put our own spin on things! This game is exactly like an MMORPG, without the MMO! We've got gather quests, escort quests, kill quests, items quests and more copied and pasted over 3 unique and interesting zone types! You can grind by yourself without those annoying friends and guildmates pestering you every five seconds!

 

Reckoning

 

Not convinced? Our game can multitask! Those nights where you just can't sleep are a thing of the past! Just boot up your new masterpiece and you'll  be out in less than 30 minutes, guaranteed! Yep. We do things with games that you couldn't even dream of.

It's a game changer, my dude. A must have! It even comes with an entire outfit for you to wear while you play the game. We'll ship it to you! It won't get lost in the mail. We will return your calls.

Epic environments. Batman. All of your favorite DC heroes and villains. Batman. It's pure gold, we've already sold like 4 trillion copies and got non-paid reviews of like 11 out of 10 or something.

I'm offended by the KoA post, Silvachief.

I got a good 25 hours out of it before the repetition started killing off the fun.

Oh, my tights and leotards are so ready.

I apologize if you enjoyed KoA. I personally didn't like it much and I admit that most of what i've written is exaggerated. That's just the nature of this week's contest though.

Oh god... I remember this game vividly. Triggering some PTSD episodes man.

Not sure how good or bad that is for me.

 

Probably bad.

 

But okay lol

[Imationer]

Being the human being that I am, I'll have to decline this specific challenge.

 

As a game player, I understand how fun could it be. As a game developer (not that I am professionally), I personally find insulting the challenge proposed. One invests time and money developing a game, overcoming obstacles, debugging and refactoring, and wants to see his effort rewarded, not mocked and made fun of.

 

I hope someone understands my point, and sorry if I'm spoiling the party.

Just because someone put effort into something does not make it beyond reproach. When you develop something for public consumption, you open up your product/game/art to criticism. And to be frank, making light of games like Superman 64 and Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing isn't really fresh or anything particularly scathing. I'm sure the developers behind those games are aware of the shortcomings behind the work themselves.

Anytime something is released to the public, it is open game for criticism. I simply asked for people to use the worst game they could think of, and there opinion of worst will vary. I honestly am baffled by why you feel insulted by a whimsical challenge that pokes fun at generally accepted terrible games (or in the case of KoA, a generic, yet fun game). These games are open to criticism as they have been publicly released. To think that we should just ignore or not poke fun at something like a bad game is asinine.

 

In short, its your loss.

I understand what you're saying and respect how you feel about this challenge. However, what i've written and what i'm sure everyone else has written is not intended to be insulting toward the developers of the games in question. The amount of time and effort put toward producing any game is worth respect and I acknowledge that, but like any other creators those developers need to be able to take criticism. All we're doing here is taking the criticisms that already exist and exaggerating them, as opposed to poking fun at the developers behind the games involved.

 

There are bad examples of pretty much everything. If we didn't accept that these things were bad then we wouldn't be able to learn from our mistakes.

It's cool to have your opinion and all, but it's really meant to just be fun. Not much more I can say that hasn't been said.

 

But as a bonus, Superman 64 devs very much so knew about and admit to their game being very, very poor. It's a pretty interesting tale, actually. ^^

[solidbatman]

Week 5 totals have been added. Week 6 to follow in a few moments. 

 

[solidbatman]

Week 6 Standings

 

 

WEEK 7

Rejoice children. Thou hath arrived at the final week of this contest. Pat yourself on the back. I'm proud of you. Your parents are proud of you. Your dog is proud of you. Your cat isn't though. Cats are like that. Sorry. 

Well, I could write something really sappy about how much this contest has meant to me, and how you all are very special and dear to me, my loyal test subjects. But, I have to compensate you people to participate in my silly games. Greedy greedy greedy contestants. Thus, I shall make you suffer for the final week. There will be so much stress, and invisible point values should ensure you fine folks give it your all every day this week. Bring forth the stress balls! To summarize: Week 7 is a daily challenge week. Point values will be invisible all week and points will not update until the final day. All point values will be sent to an unnamed, un-involved 3rd party before each challenge goes up. Thus, do not ask about point values. Point deduction days will be labeled, but the rules for deductions not named. I am a cruel host.

Day One

 

Starting off simple today. Which challenge over the past 6 weeks has been your favorite and why? 

[Yukiru]

time to make a dramatic comeback! 

 

the funniest one was the fanart, if i'm not wrong that's week #1, the fuwanart was just great, mayhaps  there should be an official fuwan gallery where our very pieces of art will be uploaded whenever there's a new mastepiece

[shcboomer]

I think my favorite challenge was writing that fan fiction about Halloween. It fit the theme for the week and gave me a chance to do some creative writing for once.

[Bizkitdoh]

I'd have to say my favorite challenge would have to be week two. The drawings. That challenge really pushed my mental barriers, which is something I absolutely love, being into psychology and what-not.

 

Going into it I'd felt so defeated having seen Ragnar's entry, but, I went in with a ton of hours, papers and pencils and came out with something that I can say surprised me more than anyone else. I could say something similar about the other challenge weeks, but that week took extra effort with having to think out a scenario and create it without words. I felt more comfortable with other challenges, being that I've written much more than I've ever even dreamed of drawing.

[Zakamutt]

I think I had the most fun writing the halloween fanfic, actually.
