Will you Play or Not?
 
MEGA UPDATE: With how much the gaming world and everyone's taste evolving as of now, I'll be putting in some new changes to our friendly little thread here. Also, some people, including myself have also been using not just commercial games, but also indie and even fanmade games. So might as well include them in the mix, but again USE SPARINGLY.

Here's a pretty simple "game" for everyone at VG to enjoy and with proper context: Will you Play or Not?

So you're walking around Gamestop or any store that sells video games, or browsing around Steam and obviously the first thing you see when you are looking for a game is the cover. So based on the cover of the game you are looking at, will you buy/play or not?

Mechanics are pretty simple. UPDATE: NEW RULES

1. User posts a cover of a game. You are free to give out a description of the game you are talking about but keep it concise.

2. Next user's post will say "Play" or "Not play" and say your reasons in doing so, and then post a cover of the game you want to show the next user.

3. And it goes on and on.

4. For certain games that do not have a physical disc or something, just post the Official promotional artwork of the game you want to show, such as online games like MMOs. MMOs uses posters for most of the time so use that.

5. Protip: In order to make the experience to be a little more immersive, pretend that you are seeing said VG cover for the very first time, if it is the very first time you are seeing said title's cover art.

6. SUPER PROTIP: Since this thread is a simulation of yourself walking at your respective gamestore or Steam or any platform of selling or distributing games, you are free to try roleplaying as a salesman to the next user. Use sparingly though. And only i can do the crazy Texan Southern gamestop salesman

7. SUPER ULTRA PROTIP: If you feel that posting just the game's logo or cover isn't enough, then you are free to use AT MOST 2 SCREENSHOTS from said game you're selling/showing to the next user. USE Sparingly. Can't flood

Example:

User 1 - post cover of a game, gives a description
Next user - "Yes" I'd PLAY that game. It has certified blood dancin! Then shows a cover of another game.


I'll start with this lovely piece:

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/doom/images/8/85/Doom.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080913150951
Doom, by id Software. A first person shooter where you play as a lone space marine and fight your way through hordes of demons and monsters and make your way towards the level's exit to kill even more monsters.

Will you buy/get or not?

Spoiler:
PS: Thank you for participating in my little social experiment >:)

Necrum March 1st, 2016 9:01 PM

Buy buy all of the buy Doom is amazing BUY! Shoot demons explore planets BUY!!!

JJ Styles March 1st, 2016 9:16 PM

Holy s*** i never thought a badass version of an Abe's game exists. As a somewhat big fan of the Abe series, with the PSX Abe's Odyssey being one of my all time faves, I'd definitely check this out so.. BUY, also its for OG Xbox, aka Best Box.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/02/Neptunia.jpg
Hyper Dimension Neptunia? (come on VG, i know you guys like this)

Prairie March 1st, 2016 10:27 PM

I mean, I've played some of the Neptunia games before, but based on the cover alone I'd buy it, mostly because I like JRPGs and it has NISA on its cover. That's pretty much why I got HDN:Mk2, only to find out that NIS wasn't the developer when I actually played it. Welp.

Cave Story, a game where you jump and shoot things! It has rabbit / dog people.

pkmin3033 March 2nd, 2016 12:36 AM

I was actually going to buy the 3DS version of this at one point. I forget why I didn't. Lack of funds, I imagine. In any case, I'd buy this...but not for PC.

http://sharkberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/corpse-party-cover.jpg

JJ Styles March 2nd, 2016 1:47 AM

The first time i'll be saying "No" since i'll assume this is one of those survival horror kind of games... or something like it. Not a fan of such so i respectfully decline.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dc/Shank_Art.jpg
Shank.

pkmin3033 March 2nd, 2016 2:09 AM

Pass. Story penned by someone associated with God of War? As entertaining as those games were sometimes with combat, the story was a load of bollocks. There are lots of other titles with a similar style which are much more appealing, so I'd be avoiding this one.

Speaking of...

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/10/Astro_Boy_-_Omega_Factor_Coverart.png

JJ Styles March 2nd, 2016 3:04 AM

I lost my GBA years ago so i can't play anything so pass. Also, there's emulation but that's not the point of that. D:

(You can all laugh at my bad attempt to be a gamestop cashier)

Hey picky next user? You're looking for the perfect murder simulator that is 90001x Edgier than that game the kids playin called "Hatred", "Doom" "Grand Theft Auto 5?" and "Metal Gear Rising" ???? PUT AWAY THOSE KIDS GAMES AWAY AND COME WITH ME! I do have the PERFECT GAME FOR YOU BRO OR CHICK!

Heard AAA games, not interested :P

What about this brilliant game? :D

pkmin3033 March 2nd, 2016 11:19 AM

Pass. I draw the line at lack of English translation I'm afraid.
http://gematsu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Omega-Quintet-Box-Art_001.jpg

LatiasSoulDew March 2nd, 2016 11:35 AM

I don't have PS4 and I don't think I will buy the console later. So I will not buy Omega Quintet. The game looks interesting tho. I like rpg and anime.

Samurai Warriors 4-II (PC)

pkmin3033 March 2nd, 2016 12:01 PM

I actually got that bought for me on PS4...I have yet to play it. But I prefer the Samurai Warriors games to the Dynasty Warriors games, so if I didn't have it it'd be on my wants list :3

http://levelupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/the-cursed-crusade-box-art1.jpg

Arc March 2nd, 2016 12:31 PM

Out of morbid curiosity. Sure. Everything about that box-art screams budget, though.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7a/JetSetRadioFuturebox.jpg

JJ Styles March 2nd, 2016 5:45 PM

That game looks interesting. I'll be playing as a dude with shades and roller blading my way to the streets? Suddenly i feel like the urge. And again its a game for OGXbox so yeah BUY.

pkmin3033 March 3rd, 2016 12:43 PM

That's on my to-do list, so yes, I'd play that. I really enjoyed Memories of Celceta and I'm curious about the rest of the series.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/c5/The_Legend_of_Legacy_boxart.png/440px-The_Legend_of_Legacy_boxart.png

El Héroe Oscuro March 3rd, 2016 4:50 PM

It honestly looks like a cover for a Bravely Default sequel. Solely looking at the box art, I would actually consider getting this game. The name itself though is a little repetitive with "legend" and "legacy" lol. Don't they basically mean the same thing? Just watched the trailer and you know what? I might actually get this game, so thank you for sharing it!

How about this game for sharing purposes:

http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/9/9/2/106992_front.jpg

JJ Styles March 3rd, 2016 6:10 PM

Even if i didn't see the game beforehand, I'll Buy it! A Crusader guy with a scythe and that background devoid of color and bleached with sorrow and death? Yell heah!

But honestly, i played it, and i LOVED it.

S4 League.

(here's an example of me referencing an MMO. Since MMOs usually do not have boxarts or cover arts, promotional material is the key here)

pkmin3033 March 3rd, 2016 11:19 PM

Definitely pass on that. The art style is rather nice, but MMOs aren't really my thing at all.

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ninety_Nine_Nights_8182.jpg
...couldn't find big enough English box art. Probably wasn't looking hard enough, buuuut...

JJ Styles March 4th, 2016 6:48 AM

Designs are interesting to say the least and I'd pick this one up.

(ok im in the mood to let out my inner Gamestop so)

GOOD MORNING OR WHATEVER PART IN THE WORLD YOU ARE IN. Were you satisfied with our last offer? Don't worry we always have MORE! Wanna play a real man's game? Wanna become a sexual tyrannosaur, like me?

http://www.nesconsole.com/images/thumbs/predator.jpg

pkmin3033 March 4th, 2016 6:59 AM

Pass. Really not overly keen on the Predator franchise, and if I'm going to play an old-fashioned Arnie game, I'd rather play the Terminator game that was on the Megadrive. xD

Speaking of...

Keiran March 4th, 2016 7:54 AM

No. I can't tell what genre it is because I'm unfamiliar with the series and its aesthetic doesn't appeal to me. I also don't have the console.

I actually bought this game recently because I loved the cover and it sounded interesting (and I ended up loving it!):

Short description: Explore giant planet with an entirely open world design, fight and befriend alien races, pilot giant fighting robots, and ultimately survive and preserve the human race

JJ Styles March 4th, 2016 8:03 AM

This is one of the other talked about games here in VG at some point in time (other than FE of course) and as much as i would to join with the XBC crowd.. well, currently going to respectfully pass this up. Then again, if I ever had a WiiU...

Btw, Shinobi, and its library of games, is a real man's game. My recommended alternative to Ninja Gaiden.

(Time to RP as the Gamestop Hippie)

Yo man, ever wanted to play a game with the most bodacious tripacious graphics, soundtrack, along with some bug blasting super murderkillathon actionnnnnnn? Well we have the perfect game for you duuuuuuude..
N20 Nitrous Oxide. Also, included back box art since ya know, its the other thing you may also look at when you're checking out a game. Amirite?



Yoooo man i know you might be thinkin? You feeling the trip yet duuuuude?

Alex March 4th, 2016 11:52 PM

Wow that box art is incredibly hard to look at. Highly doubt I'll be playing that anytime soon, lol.

Will you play... Overwatch? Class-based FPS developed by Blizzard made specifically with competitive eSport in mind.

JJ Styles March 5th, 2016 2:13 AM

I have my super secret, well now it isn't so secret anymore, beta key from a long time ago so of course I'll be playing it on release.

HEY USER! ARE YOU FEELING SO SADISTIC? TRY CARMAGGEDON

http://oceanofgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Carmageddon-Reincarnation-PC-Game-Free-Download.jpg

Driving game for people who need GRATUITIOUS AMOUNTS OF BRUTALITY!

With all new versions like Reincarnation. its like adding a high level of ANGST TO A CAPITAL EXECUTION! Sound the Alarm, for you're going to be UNCOMFORTABLY SADISTIC. What's that? You like strawberry? Well.. how about GOREBERRY! Made with Violence.. GRAPHIC VIOLENCE!

pkmin3033 March 5th, 2016 4:38 AM

...OK, I might actually play that, because I remember playing Carmageddon II with a friend and kind of enjoying it. I was younger then. MUCH younger.

http://www.capsulecomputers.com.au/wp-content/uploads/superman-64-box-art.jpg
...would you dare?

machomuu March 5th, 2016 10:32 AM

Superman 64 was a part of my childhood. In that we had it. And I played it. And getting passed level one alone was hard as balls. Of course, after I got passed it, I'll say that it had some pretty interesting mechanics to play with that would've done great if they weren't in a shitty, strictly-timed game.

Based on the cover, though, no. Me and Marvel/DC don't really mix. Also, S-man's torso is intimidatingly disproportionate.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6e/God_Hand.jpg
"In this Action game, you play as the legendary God Hand who may or may not actually be legendary or named God Hand. With solid critical acclaim of IGN of a whopping 3/10, this is one of Platinum's earliest works and oozes a lot of the same charm, cheese, and style that you'd expect out of later titles such Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising!

Get ready to bust some balls, ladies and gentlemen, because regardless of whether you're not that kind of guy, you'll have a blast with this one!"

Yukari March 5th, 2016 4:23 PM

Yeaaaah probably. I'm pretty interested in it after watching total biscuit's video on it.

http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/413150/header.jpg?t=1456509666

(Literally just grabbed a random game off steam for this one so I can't say anything about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

JJ Styles March 5th, 2016 4:24 PM

Ahhh God Hand, the great.... i should stop calling everything i like and everything i want everyone to like "great communicators" and just say.. You know what? I remember God Hand.. now I have to get it. I still remember the salty fans who were disappointed that Gene never made it to Marvel vs Capcom 3.

EDIT: OMG someone actually posted before me. Also getting that because it involves CHICKENS.

(also used the JP Boxart because the US Boxart is pretty bad compared to this)

GanguEevee March 5th, 2016 6:26 PM

After searching Wikipedia for the US Boxart, and looking at it's art and design, I say it looks good and I would buy it!....Too bad most of the time I never even try to touch Shooter games, and Playstation titles are a automatic no-go for me. In other words, I would pass on this. Thankfully, I found out that it has an anime! Which I might watch!

Now for a game that, thanks to me, my brother and sister really wants. And I want it too, but we decided on FE Fates instead.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e3/Stella_Glow_logo.jpg

It's like Fire Emblem! And by that, I mean it's a tactical RPG. With some slight fan-service (And by that I mean when you 'tune' certain characters, they become slightly naked for an animated cutscene). There are witches, it has a 3DS demo, and it's reviews are mostly positive.

JJ Styles March 5th, 2016 7:54 PM

I was half tempted to buy that game ages ago since its one of the first things i see in the game store's 3ds catalog so... right now not today. Too much fire emblem. Based on the cover though, as much as i like the display of characters, that plain white background is kinda discouraging. But then i saw the backside of the boxart and now I'm so tempted. Gotta save the $$$'s

What could possibly be the game that your Business class professor told you about if he was a gamer.

Yukari March 6th, 2016 11:06 AM

That's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to ridiculous and idea for me to buy it. s:

This is one of my personal favorite games
http://digitalpolyphony.webs.com/deus_ex_front_preview.jpg

JJ Styles March 6th, 2016 8:22 PM

Hell yeah i'd get Deux Ex. Also, there is an existing gore mod, inspired by Brutal Doom, to it. If you all know me, of course i'd get it as well.

http://gamefiles.alphacoders.com/boxart/original/front/thumb-5243-1.jpg

Tiliath March 6th, 2016 9:49 PM

I actually have played this game, when I was much younger! For the sake of nostalgia, I might find a working ROM for this!

JJ Styles March 10th, 2016 4:02 AM

Thread seems to be slowing down, so let me SPICE THINGS UP with some 2016 hopefuls instead. Also I totally get Perfect Dark after i borrow my friend's n64

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/03/Mighty_No._9_cover_art.jpg

Come on. I know someone's eager :3

pkmin3033 March 10th, 2016 4:26 AM

"Will anyone ever get to play this?" is the question I think you should be asking here.
I know I won't be regardless =P

http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/7/7/6/15776_front.jpg

JJ Styles March 11th, 2016 5:02 PM

I would. Its Panzer Dragoon Orta, one of the best things from the OGBox.

Thread's going a little slow again, time to speed things up.

http://i.imgur.com/xhVmYOg.jpg?1

Darksiders, a game you where play as WAR. One of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

pkmin3033 March 12th, 2016 4:18 AM

Absolutely; I LOVED this game! The sequel was a bit of a letdown, and the fact that we've not had a Darksiders III yet is infuriating, but this game was so much better than most people gave it credit for. Kickass soundtrack, too.

http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/9/0/1/7901_front.jpg
This was actually the inspiration for the Kung Fu Panda films =P

Dansparce March 14th, 2016 11:00 PM

Eww, it looks like a snake dressed as a tiger. And it looks terrible. And it's made by DreamWorks... Not buy.

Rejected Title: Bad Box Art Mega Man 2: Electric Boogaloo

JJ Styles March 15th, 2016 2:36 AM

Capcom we get it. You dwelled at the Bad Box art Megaman and just decided to go with it. Anyway, I'll pretend i never saw Megaman 9 ever and I'll still pass it over :( I was not a big fan of the classic MM series since i found the lack of wall jump and body slide kinda empty to me.

(Okay, i think its time for the return of the crazy southern Texan Salesman)

HEY KIDS! ARE YOU THIRSTING FOR MORE GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND OLD SCHOOL 90s ACTION!? DO YOU WANT TO PLAY A GAME THAT YOUR PARENTS NEVER TALKED ABOUT? SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL THE LOVE AND TASTE THE FLAME!? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I BET YOU DO! IN FACT, I GOT THE VERY GAME FOR YOU!!!!

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4d/Blood_logo.jpg

ITS AS CLEAR AS THE BLOOD, IN MY PANTS!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! FOR THE VERY LOW PRICE OF ONLY 6.66 USD, YOU CAN GET BLOOD FOR YOUR WINDOWS 7/8/10 OS ALONG WITH THE DUKE3D SOURCE PORT

(I'm ready for my academy award)

killer-curry March 15th, 2016 4:29 AM

ummm if my parents not around... yea

how about this, a game that will ruin your life at the very first second you touch it.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/67/Counter-Strike_Box.jpg/250px-Counter-Strike_Box.jpg

Dusty March 15th, 2016 5:00 AM

I think not. I used to play counter strike, but getting good at the game just takes too long, and I've moved away from first person shooters in general unfortunately. Good game though, cant criticize it on that.


How about this game, Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber (Dang it strangely translated names)

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4c/OgreBattle64.jpg/250px-OgreBattle64.jpg

1999 sequel of the original Ogre Battle built for the N64, probably the most interesting strategy game I have ever played, mixing both real time and turn based combat along with a great class system.

JJ Styles March 19th, 2016 5:40 AM

I would if i could, i might if i tried. Then again, I remember this title.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c5/Attack_of_the_Mutant_Penguins_Cover.jpg

Title says enough

GanguEevee March 19th, 2016 9:27 AM

Hell to the **** NO.
I can already guess it's terrible JUST by looking at that box art.
This game has no box art, but it has a screenshot for it's title screen, so.....here you go:
http://funamusea.com/story/wadanohara/i/sample1.png

It's an RPG Maker game! It's a pretty good game, got translated by someone, and it's free, and you can go download and play it right now. But will you, just by looking at this?!

JJ Styles March 19th, 2016 3:25 PM

I've played to death a couple of indie RPGs with graphics like this so of course I'll do..

(Since I'm in a rather cranky but still good mood... time to put another of my salesmen in action)

Hello folks. Welcome to the Southern Texan gamestop plex. I reckon that you're interested in a video game? Good lord Jesus christ, thank you for bringing these customers to the Southern texan brew, where the lord lifts you up, and the southern man offers the action! Allow them to indulge in the action, haggle their prices, and make sure they get a fair deal... AMEN

(Also, for once I'm not talking about Brutal Doom, I'm talking about another Doom mod i want people to try, and something that may cover other people's tastes)

Quote:

Designed as a love letter to retro games, 80s/90s anime, and early heavy metal, DemonSteele is a complete and total gameplay overhaul for GZDoom/Zandronum that dramatically changes the flow of the game to an extremely fast-paced hack-and-slash brawler. Wield a razor-sharp sword alongside a mighty gun, and make mincemeat of your foes before blasting away his buddies. Effortlessly dodge through return fire and lop off heads one by one. Or just simply cleave through a crowd in one single dash and swipe.

Gameplay rewards thinking fast and acting faster, with enhanced movement systems (Dodges! Rocket jumping!) and your overall effectiveness based entirely on how many enemies you can plow through in a row with minimal damage to yourself. Kill fast and hard, and you'll be rewarded with a slew of special moves and a bunch of damage...hang from a distance and timidly plink at them bit by bit until they die, and you'll be ill-suited for the challenges ahead.
A doom mod for GZDoom/Zandronium/ZDoom, Demonsteele is a doom mod that turns good ol doom into a fast paced hack-n-slash brawler with lots and lots of action, references to what the author already mentioned, and of course, BLOOD. It does not use Brutal Doom's gore system so the game is actually friendlier to one's system specs.

(Ok, i think I still prefer being the crazy southern texan maniac)
