Of course I have to set the voices to russian so to avoid the english actress’ squealing. And also that way I’m safe from understanding any of the nonsense that’s going on. WIN!

Yeah, that’s probably the best way to make it approaching playable. Complete dialogue incomprehensibility. After all, all you need to know is, here’s something in front of you: kill it.

Now if only it was that easy to make the actual gameplay playable…

According to the linked demo page at gamershell, the lead is supposed to be “a stunningly seductive yet tenacious heroine”.

I don’t think it means what they think it means.

@OldManTick:
Haha! I haven’t played FAKK2 in years, and I don’t remember that cave wall at all.

I rather miss Levelord. Too bad he’s not really working on the sorts of games he used to anymore.

@ Gravatar OldManTick:
How was it that FAKK2 was good for thongs if the changes in clothing happened in her torso? I hate it when people don’t take these issues with the proper seriousness =(

As an ass man myself, I have to say I kinda support X-Blades for finally bringing some attention to the preferences of my people. Enough with the boobs, I say, gaming needs more ass. And not the saggy male ass of Dead Space either.

Of course I have to set the voices to russian so to avoid the english actress’ squealing. And also that way I’m safe from understanding any of the nonsense that’s going on. WIN!

At PAX, I ended up making fun of the game because the main character had a look on her face that seemed like she had Downs. She also had some weird not shorts on under her thong in the picture. I thought the game looked hilariously horrible, now I hear it’s just horrible, such disappointment.

Hmm, why does it not surprise me that Levelord designed that?

I played this quite some time ago. I have never encountered a less likable “protagonist.”

Utterly wretched game.

I think Heavy Metal FAKK2 was the best game for thongs. The farther you got in the game the less clothes Julie wore, at least ion her torso.
plus the level design of the cave in the demo where the designer modeled a woman’s spread legs and everything at the intersection in the cave walls.

I want to run far away after seeing the cutscene from Escapist, it feels too much Like your playing Paris Hilton, which is a bad thing.
