This is the most idiotic premise for a video game ever...

Post by SergeXIII »

Perhaps you heard that there is a sequal to 50 cent: Bullet Proof in the works. Its been titled 50 cent: Blood on the Sand and has you play the role of 50 cent as he tries to recover his jewel encrusted skull in the middle east. And I know what you're thinking, but its highly unlikely that this is an April Fools joke.

And before we start a nerd war, I'd like to point out that I said "idiotic", as in a stupid premise. No as in bizarre. I've seen far stranger concepts in my time, but this takes the cake for just bein' retarted.

so has Penny Arcade made a funny strip about it yet?

I wonder if fans of 50 Cent even like his shitty games. They're probebly like,.. "Yeah, 50 Cent is going to kick some terrorist ass for stealing his bling!!! I can't wait!!"

how exactly is this the most 'idiotic' game premise ever? The best games tend to have stupid plots--and I'm one who actually likes stories in games.

so yes... this game is going to kick ass.

At the risk of sounding like a jerk, I believe this game takes itself too seriously for the level of humor you're all assuming.

Actually, if it takes itself incredibly seriously, it might be kind of fun to play through; if, on the other hand, it ends up being an over-hyped piece of garbage that knows it's supposed to be super-wacky and tries too hard, it will probably disappoint. (See, perhaps, the buzz around Snakes on a Plane.) An idiotic premise like this is only funny if it's not aware of its idiocy. XD

Not the point. Plan 9 From Outer Space is so incredibly bad that it's good again, for instance. In theory, the same thing could happen here.

Yeah. I was laughing at "10,000 B.C." I wasn't supposed to be.

I laughed at the Core.

I'm still not 100% on whether or not I was supposed to be.

The Core was a masterpiece of both terrible acting and outrageously bad science. Awesome to watch in a room full of science students, actually.
