I knew these names would pop up. Psychonauts is not that new and. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 457 Joined: 2 Jun 2008   | I know what you mean. but their is an emerging genre of video game that puts more of an emphasise on humour than decent gameplay, see destroy all humans, portal or overlord. |

Try Mercenaries 2. It has a goofy, kinda Rush Hour-action movie sense of humor. "Nobody shoots him in the ass and gets away with it..." is a line that I remember laughing to. |

I love that pic. Anyway, OP, you should look forward to Mercenaries 2, then, I heard the first was pretty funny, and the commercials for it look hilarious. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 105 Joined: 27 Aug 2008 | OP,I agree with you thats what's wrong with gaming these days most of the games are FPSes or Free-roamers and most of those are gritty and dark. EDIT:oblivion can be quite funny if a freind is watching an commenting also i had a quite humorus time "i've fought mudcrabs fiercer than you!"*gets raped by 7 mudcrabs* |
Paperboy  Posts: 40 Joined: 21 Jun 2008 | I haven't played portal sadly. Some games have humor where it shouldn't be, like the whole serious convo. that someone says something worded funny. The characters might not see it, but its always funny to catch them while playing. (could not think of exaples at this time) |

I dunno... there's a lot of silly dialogue in Oblivion. It's a lot more light-hearted than Morrowind in my opinion. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go talk to the alchemist in Skingrad (the necrophiliac) or the Argonian hunter (deer penis!) in Leyawiin. Idling NPC's also say some strange stuff sometimes. I don't think games have less comedy than they used to. It's just that there has become more focus on "mature" games that are all dark and edgy (but not always very fun) because the market has expanded to include more and older people. A lot of great examples has been given already. Half-life 2 and Halo though rather serious at times, has tons of comic relief as well. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 401 Joined: 21 Aug 2008 | Sam and Max is pretty funny, even if it is getting a little stale by today's standards. Also, I've heard good things about Strongbad's Cool Game for Attractive People. |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 588 Joined: 19 Jun 2008  | If you want a good game with lots of lolz, just freakin Garry's Mod, the entire point of the 'game' is to strap trafic cones that shoot fire onto zombies then launch them into a volcano! If you buy the cheapest package possible (Gmod+HL2 Deathmatch), it only sets you back $15. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 68 Joined: 19 Jun 2008 | I'm wondering why no one has said "Bad Company" yet. It's pretty the first game that I've played that I would consider to be in a "comedy" genre. The single-player is absolutely hilarious. "Yeah? Says you and what army?" |

You, sir, ruin online games for many people. MONKEY ISLAND! Any of the Monkey Island games. People sometimes hate on 3, but it's my personal favourite for look, game and humour. |

Don't be to harsh on him, It's not the end of the world if you never played any half life game |

That is truly a horrid game. The hype on that was ridiculous and unjustified. |

Two Worlds is the greatest game ever made. Stfu. From the moment I turn it on I burst out laughing. Best entertainment ever. |

Sometimes it's the 'worst made' and 'taking themselves too seriously' games that are the most hilarious I've played. |

Oh man I loved that game when I rented it, but for all the wrong reasons. It was too funny to describe. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3061 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 | Yeah I don't own it, just rented it too. But my (non-existent) god was it funny! |

No, no batman thread... sorry fanboys.
but I was wondering, A lot of games I see today lack a sense of humor. sure there are a few one liners here and there but they aren't that good.
And then those drab and dark level maps in lot's of shooters.
That's what I liked about games like GTA they never took themself too serious.
but if I play a game like oblivion there is no comic relief. until shivering isles came.
I just find a lot games lacking in humor.
As if "cool" games cannot be humorous.
I haven't played a game in a while that gave me the warm fuzzy feeling that lucast arts adventures or platformers like earthworm Jim of Aladdin gave me.
Or a shooter like armed and dangerous of even metal slug.
I admid I'm more of a pc gamers and there are still game with humour on consoles and there might be one or two on the pc, but mostly it's gloomy depressive shooters.
And for the JRPG haters. I'd rather see bright colors and a character that overcomes his "angst" than a pissed-off grunt in a grimm world. Like that isn't depressing.
It's not that I hate these games but I wanna see a game with lush outdoor levels and bright scenery. I cannot think of any recent western release ( as in NA/EU game, japanese games are quite happy)that is light hearted and brightly coloured.
what about you guys ?
