Vanquish is 'Progressive Popamole'

when you take cover the game laughs at you and then you die.

you don't want to see endless cutscenes or dialogues and you just want to chew bubblegum and kick the crap out of some aliens, nazis , pirates or whatever?

But popamole is all about watching endless cutscenes and dialogues and you can't chew bubbglegum and kill shit because you are forced to sit behind some retarded box

Fucking 2010 members cannot into Codex lore.

I've been lurking around here for way more time than you would think and my own definition of "popamole" includes a wider range of games (including Doom and the like).
:smug:

Lately I've been playing things with lots of explosions to calm myself. MechWarrior 4 is my first choice when I think of this kind of games. :love:

Over there.
My timekiller isn't popamole. It's SupCom Forged Alliance on an 81km x 81km map vs. 1 computer controlled opponent. Usually takes a few hours.

Popamole? Stranglehold, definitely.

It has popamole mechanics but you're still vulnerable behind cover, and 99% of the cover in this game can be blown away, so if you stay behind it for too long, it will break apart from the hail of bullets, so doing cool stunts Max Payne style is actually more effective than mere mole-popping. I actually had an enemy flank my position when I was behind cover.

That's how modern POP THA MOELZ action games should be.

does not exist.

Popamole is popamole. If it doesn't meet the strict criteria set by the word's meaning, it is not popamole.

Pop a mole = I don't play those games, the only one I liked was Resistance as a drunken co-op game. Actually I don't think it had that cover mechanic nor full health regen so it doesn't fit, either.

And I play a lot of different games.

Do Crysis and Mirror's Edge count as popamole? They were pretty good.
