Is this the third game now that's very cartoony, light, and full of ham-fisted "self aware" humor?

 

[Norfleet]

I have never heard of this. Is this even a real game?

 

[Morgoth]

I'm playing this right now on PS3 and it's good for what it is. Think Torchlight crossed with Gilberts humor.

Horrible GFX. These people who are trying to force a cartoon like animation into everything are retarded.

Go fuck yourself. Alternatively go and see what games Gilbert has made and what they all have in common.

I.Want.It

But it's just 2 hours long and a new DLC will be released soon. Which means, it will worth the wait for the complete version. Otherwise is a ripoff. Ofc there is also the other choice ...

 

[Sceptic]

Think Torchlight crossed with Gilberts humor.

If the humor part is really on par with Gilbert's best then that alone is worth getting it.

Btw if you want to support Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert, buy the upcoming Costume Quest.

But then I forgot the Codex cannot into consoles.

 

[Eyeball]

Despite the insanely faggotass name, Costume Quest seems at least somewhat intriguing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY_bCw8EPj8

Combat appears ripped off from the Penny Arcade games, which were godawful pieces of shit but at least had a fun angle on JRPG combat.

As for Deathspank, it looks exactly like Torchlight, only with less interesting combat skills. Is it worth getting?

 

[J1M]

I saw someone playing this for PS3. It looked extra boring and devoid of challenge.

Why anyone would support a console port is beyond me.
