![]() ![]() But the premise of annoying a game developer by intentionally failing at their game just doesn’t work. There’s a few chuckles and at least one laugh-at-loud joke thrown in that I’m going to be a complete cunt and spoil in the next picture. Which is not to say Dude, Stop is never funny. A kick in the balls is only funny when it’s not your balls. ![]() It’s like that “ want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?” gag from Dumb & Dumber, only you’re the one getting it screamed in your ear. And after doing it again, they repeated the joke one more time before making me complete the quiz in under twenty seconds for a third time. It took me several tries to actually get it right (I was trying to hit the checkboxes and not the pictures or words next to them), and by time I did, the game did a “haha, I wasn’t using my stopwatch” joke and made me do it again. Otherwise known as the Derrick Rose method.Īnd I want to talk about that one, because it leads into the main problem with Dude, Stop: it’s a comedy game that’s just not that funny. Other times there’s different objectives, like trying to complete a quiz in twenty seconds. The game is divided into multiple “packs” of mini-games with various themes, all of them having essentially the same amount of play value, with multiple different objectives for each. The hook here is that you’re actually encouraged to fuck up, so as to drive the developer mad. You’re the test subject of a game-solving experiment that involves tiny slivers of mini-games. It can be summed up very simply: WarioWare meets the Stanley Parable. And I don’t mean playing with it in the type of way that lands you in front of a judge while you try to explain that she SWORE to you she was 18. I’d rather try something that takes the formula and plays with it. Considering that I’m not a fan of any of the games in the series besides the original, I’m not excited at all for it. And yes, to the roughly three-hundred people who alerted me to the fact, I’m aware Nintendo’s releasing a “ Best of WarioWare” next month. I named it my favorite game of all-time, a position it still holds for me fifteen years after it came out. It’s no secret that I like WarioWare Inc. ![]()
