>remember playing the game as a kid>decide to replay it>main character is hot>music is pretty good>shooting sucks>melee sucks>platforming sucks>level design sucks>every single enemy in the game is just annoying to deal with>short as fuck (which is a good thing in this case)Remind me again, how come there's only ONE video game with Heavy Metal aesthetics? And by heavy metal I mean hot chicks in steel bikinis butchering mutants in post-apocalyptic locales with swords and big guns, not just metal genre as a whole being an inspiration, like Brutal Legend.
>>722656886>how come there's only ONE video game with Heavy Metal aesthetics?Not exactly a video game, but the XPiratez mod for XCOM is exactly what you want.
>>7226568862000s had sexy girls, the continuation of 90s cool. Heavenly sword is another typical entry.
>>722656886I only played this game as a kid because of the hot girl. I remember catching a gremlin in a village and throwing it into a fountain, which caused some strange mutation that made it try to attack me. I also recall doing a tutorial where I was throwing things like boomerangs and stones. I remember it wasn’t all that fun.
I don't remember much of gameplay, but I also don't remember being annoyed or disliking combat so much.What I do remember is being scared of sounds of enemies chasing me through flooded caves, throught they would make me drown or something, but I returned to the game years later and finished it.
God, i love women so much
>>722657412Based, literally the only good game that nails that aesthetic
>>722656886I liked the movie's soundtrack
>ritual entertainment DA FUCK TIMMY GON DO?
>>722659253Large breasts
>>722656886Dunno but the game was assIt's one of the reasons why hot designs are usually associated with mid games (at best)>>722657465Heavenly Sword was an alright gameBeautiful cutscenes thoughShit load times/v/ would shit on the game though if it was released today
>>722660074Heavenly sword was shit on at release tho. By a lot of people. Tech demo was kind of the concensus.T. Didnt browse /v/ back then
>>722660156That was after the PS2If a sequel wasn't better than the previous entry at everything, it was regarded shit.
>>722656886I think her name was julie strain. She was over 6 foot. Rip in peace big girl
>>722656886Stellar blade or ninja gaiden are pretty popular.
>>722656886Boomers killed rock because they grew up and realized the drums and electric guitars they used to love are actually too fucking loud
>>722656886>>722657969>>722660074Gain taste and gain T, the game was fun.
>>722656886Lots of weaponsShe gets progressively less dressed as game goes onLast boss requires to damage him till he drops his huge ass giant sword and then grab it and sever his head with it. Huuuge sword. Decapitation itself was annoying to pull off, because op is right and melee sucks. But looked awesome.Everything else is correct too. Game had lots of problems, but it was memorable.
>>722660074>v/ would shit on the game though if it was released today5 billion per cent, maybe more
>>722660074>It's one of the reasons why hot designs are usually associated with mid games (at best)no it's notnormalfags literally don't even know this game exists
>>722656886The only thing I remember this game for is the level where there are large, bare, lactating breasts on the walls
>>722663831Yeah, those are not in the game, you're probably thinking of that one South Park episode
>>722663698I'm not saying this game specifically did that damage, just games like that in general
>>722660074>It's one of the reasons why hot designs are usually associated with mid games (at best)bullshitgames without attractive characters are all bad
That Heavy Metal show is fucking weird. I watched it with my friend's dad one time and it was very uncomfortable when all the chicks started pulling their tits out and fucking all over the place.
>>722659253>Elexis>JulieI have a feeling Ritual devs had a thing for athletic bimbos
>>722656886I bought a game on steam called Metal: Hellslinger VR. Apparently i should not have gotten the vr version but i havnt tried it yet.
>>7226648741981 is fucking great. 2001 i enjoyed on a subsequent watch.
>>722665036First movie is iconic, second is eh. Had its ups tho
>>722664812it all depends on the game I'd say
>>722664487I knew I saw footage of it somewhere, though the nipples were blurred outOk, according to Google it was in the demo but not in the final game
>>722665485One of my alltime favorites. One of the best movies to watch on acid. Pretty sure the color scheme in the last segment was designed that way.
>>722665627https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChifKxKu0BsThe only thing that demo had in common with the final game is that ugly fucking swamp level.
>>722665708>watching movies on acid>being indoor on psychedelicsYou're doing it wrong, friend. Those things are best enjoyed outdoors, in the wilderness.
>>722657412I've spent way too much time playing that bullshit.
>>722665942I have tripped outside many MANY times, an probably will two weekends from now. I'm not doing it wrong, just more often than you are.
>>722666023Fair enough. Enjoy, anon
>>722666069:) thanks, fren.
>>722666114remember that life is a gift
Heavy Metal Geomatrix for the dreamcast
>>722659253>oh my god is that picture that means she loves black menWhy are browns like this
>>722656886The reason that was made was because Julie (RIP) was involved with Heavy Metal 2000. I never bothered to watch that or the original, but they gave off the vibe of "le cartoon for adults" like Ralph Bakshi shit (though I named one of my cats Fritz).
>>722664681Oh like Tomb Raider?
The movie did have a banger soundtrack, still got it on my phone
>>722666180Is it? I find it pointless as someone who used to be a hardcore christian. Life is so pointless and arbitrary without a divine and innate puropse to our lives. Last time i tripped on shrooms in the woods i actually became depressed about this and got hyperfixated on the topic.In some ways i agree, because it's so tragically short that we need to make the most of our time here.
>>722656886>Remind me again, how come there's only ONE video game with Heavy Metal aesthetics?specifically pertaining to Heavy Metal itself since who else would get their aesthetics right, if it got an AO rating back in the day it would be a death sentence on sales. That's an immediate "nah" I would imagine from creative types that might not want to be told by some stringbean in a suit that he can't have too many buttcracks meanwhile some games have ungodly amounts of gore and god knows what other atrocities.I can't speak to how well the magazine is doing, if it still has living oldguard, if it has people currently on board that are at all interested in making vidya or even realize they could sell on steam for instance despite an AO, if they're even still in business, etc., but I think it's a safe assumption they aren't exactly in a position to pursue a game even if they wanted to.aesthetic-wise loops back to being fearful of not making sales, and without a respected(?) boomer name like Heavy Metal attached, a good amount of people are going to look away barring the same crowd that's perfectly happy to pay for the same low budget uncanny CGI shit that flooded steam in the past year or so. And then there's the consideration of a bunch of virtue signaling cunts on twitter likely to be the main source of free advertising regardless of who made such a game, assuming it isn't some chinese or japanese game we'd never hear about until some voicepitched vtuber happened to feature it in a pixelart fucked-on-loss/ryona porngame video on youtube advertising an STI-ridden APK.
>>722666775It absolutely is. Maybe your loss of faith was difficult, but don't give up yet, keep going. There is a reason, and I'm not religious at all. not an atheist either. Life is a beautiful thing, just look at the stars or the trees on a nice day and you can see for yourself, how nice it is that they're there. Pain and death are parts of life, sure, but without them the rest wouldn't mean much, if it was just a happy fun ride the whole time. They give us depth and purpose, a reason to do the things we do.
>>722666501Games like Bloodrayne, I'm talking about the mid shitfest games that are maybe alright at best.
>>722667029>HMF2>Tomb Raider>Blood RayneWhat is it about early 2000s and hot chicks running around musty swamps?
>>722666775Do you so shrooms alone? I feel like thatd be boring
>>722666983Maybe my problem is a pessimist and i need to choose the optimistic side when not presented with any evidence. Looking at the stars should be mandatory for all people at night. Remind them of how small and unimportant their lives are compared to the vastness of the universe. Most people think their lives are so important. I find this to be arrogant.
>>722667165It makes sense for HMF2 and Tomb Raider.Wasn't mud wrestling kinda popular in the 90s/2000s?
>>722667227It's not that the stars should make you feel unimportant. Everything is important. They're doing their thing and so are we. This idea that you should see the stars and feel insignificant is nonsense. Everything matters.
>>722667176I often prefer to trip alone. Last time i brought my gf she got scared and wouldnt leave the tent. I enjoy it when i don't let myself get hyper fixated on shit that normally makes me depressed if i don't push back into my mind. I'm a classic overthinker.
>>722667349>Everything matters.Source? nah jk. I'm trying to believe.
>>722667029Bloodrayne is great tho (the 1st one), and the character is fine af
>>722667525Just go lay in the grass and feel it for yourself. I'm often overly rational but some things can't be explained that way, you just feel it and know it. Maybe one day science will catch up and measure and explain these things, but whatever, it's there whether we're aware of it or not.Feel the sunlight on your skin. Smell the air. It's all good.
>>722667679>Feel the sunlight on your skin. Smell the air. It's all goodcan't wait to go camping in the next few weeks. Sucks i don't still live in colorado. Hopefully at the end of the year i can hike a sect of AT with my older brother in Tennessee.
>>722656886There are several, but they date back to the heyday of Heavy Metal Magazine, that is, before your time.
>>722668090And a slightly more recent one, for good measure.
>>722668072>Colorado and Tenneseeha I'm from Kentucky and in Wyoming now. The outdoors is a great thing. When we close ourselves into small indoor spaces, small problems start seeming like big problems, a matter of perspective I guess. But then you go outside, and realize that those things aren't real problems.
>>722656886Tbqh the movie heavy metal is also not really as good as one might remember it being
>>722665942Wrong. Acid is great for movies. One of my best trips started with a movie marathon that included faust and scanners, ended with frisbee in the park after breakfast. You sound like a backseat psychonaut that is no fun to trip with.
>>722668284Nice, bro. How you like it? Met a few transplants from there while in CO. Cool people. They love the outdoors there, mostly. I did the concrete sidewalks around the Wyoming state capitol building when i was living in NOCO.Had a great hike in Whyoming at a place i think was called Vedauwoo? Awesome place. Ever been?
>>722668663Hey man, if that works for you then it's all good. I'm just saying that for me, it's always better outdoors.>>722668674I love it. Good work on those sidewalks, probably the nicest in the whole state lol there used to be 2 escalators in the state, but now there's only 1 so sidewalks are important. There are more cows than people here. And yeah I know Vedavoo, not sure how it's spelled either but it's a cool place. Got caught in a lightning storm there once, on top of the whole thing, and tried to find a place to hide until it passed. Found a cave, but there was a mountain lion in there that gave me a look, said you can come in here if you want to fight. I didn't, so I kept descending the rocks.

Never seen a mountain lion but one time my buddy from casper almost stepped on a rattlesnake when it failed to rattle.
>>722669835Rattlesnakes are rattling less thanks to retards. They were the one kind snake that warned you before there was any trouble, but people kept hunting down the noisiest ones to kill them and taking the rattles, so now evolution is leading them towards not being able to rattle. They still shake their tails so I guess that's something.
>>722656886>Heavy Metal aestheticsHeavy Metal is a collection of assorted comics by various authors and liberal opinion pieces about how satanism is actually a *good* thing. Are people seriously this retarded?
>>722671005it has a cat that makes the best peanut butter sandwiches you'd ever seen
>>722669835Would be a better story if he went in there and made friends with it
>>722671169Find a new hobby poseur
>>722656886Doesn't look too bad for a 2000 game. I checked the reviews and they were most positive at the time.
>>722656886>Heavy Metal FAKK 2Literally just learned there is a heavy metal vidya. Thanks anon, this looks cool. >FAKK 2How is the first game?
>>722671414It's the sequel to the animation.
>>722671414>How is the first game?The first chapter is the cartoon
Why is heavy metal associated with fantasy settings i never got that
>>722671690>>722671796>It's a canon sequel to the filmHoly fuck Badass
>>722672064It ends with a huge clifhanger, still mad about that.

>>722671923It was because of the cultural zeitgeist of the late '70s and early '80s. Heavy Metal magazine was an American clone of the French magazine Metal Hurlant, which collected various European science fiction and fantasy comics. They wanted to keep metal in the name & they liked heavy metal (which was becoming more and more popular), so that was that. Early metal also shared an association with, or accusations of, satanism and the occult with early TRPGs. Some metal band members were huge nerds too, check out Dio's "Holy Diver" music video. Then power metal came along and further cemented the connection.
