The Seeker Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 A while ago, I was asking for you guys to recommend me a good old school style shooter, but ya know, modern. Well, I got Farcry, and it was good, but just not quite what I was looking for. Then, the other day, I stumbled across "Armed and Dangerous" from our very own LEC, and I gotta say, it was exactly what I wanted. Insane weapons, lots of ammo, stupid baddies by the hundreds to mow down with said weapons. But what really got me was how funny the cutscenes are. I have never laughed that hard at a game, ever, and when I would play, I just wouldn't shut up. From the cutscenes to the enemy AI when they get shot screaming things like "Avenge Me!" or "But I'm not ready to die" or when they get hit with a sticky bomb, they don't stand their ground until it goes off, they flail their arms around and run off screaming. Anyways, I know that this game kind of came and went, but I can't believe how entertaining it is. Anyone else actually play it?
Rogue15 Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 i played the demo and really enjoyed it....but at the time the game was $50...now that it's dropped to $15 i may consider getting it...but prolly not til my Halo 2 addiction dies. if ever. I liked that the control felt smooth not like your average 3rd person shooter.
The Seeker Posted January 3, 2005 Author Posted January 3, 2005 yeah, I was really impressed with the controlls and camera angles. most 3rd person shooters stay behind you and let you rotate the camera around yourself like in splinter cell. But this one was like a FPS with the camera locked , but it was off your shoulder to give you a full field of view without botching the angles. $15? heck, I got it for $10 at best buy. LEC has released a few of their oldish games like Jedi Outcast and this one for dirt cheap. Just buy it, you won't regret it or laugh harder at another game.
Boba Rhett Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Armed and Dangerous is pretty funny but if you want true hilarity, try out the game they, (Planet Moon) made a few years back called Giants: Citizen Kabuto. I laughed, I cried, I made pancakes. It has the same gameplay as A&D, just more polished off and quite a bit funnier. You should be able to get it easily for 10 or under now. I think I saw it in a two pack even.

Oh, yeah, I remember seeing that game a few years back. Never played it, but after Armed and Dangerous, I'll DL the demo, and likely snatch it up ASAP.

Yeah, there were several of those that were priceless. (guard 1) I'll take the old man, you kill the others. (guard 2) Ah, yes, two birds with one stone (guard 1) They're not birds you moron! They're people!
Evil Dark Jedi Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Never played the game but have eyed it alot. May get it soon.
TiE23 Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 Meh, I played the demo, but after playing Metal Arms, the animation is just to weird to me. Its too static. TiE
Samuel Dravis Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 That's a great game. I bought it for $15 at EBgames, and I just can't get over the cutscenes. Now and then I have a sudden urge to drink tea...
The Seeker Posted January 6, 2005 Author Posted January 6, 2005 That's a great game. I bought it for $15 at EBgames, and I just can't get over the cutscenes I know it. I still go back and watch the opening cutscene every now and then. Rexus' glass eyes get me every time, and when the guard says: "Hey, there's something funny about his eyes" and Roman glances down, then does a startled double-take, I just lose it, cackling like an idiot. *runs off to watch armed and dangerous cutscene*
Samuel Dravis Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Yeah. There's some good parts in there. "Stig. Stop that." Penguins are cool too.
Durocha Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Ah, I've wanted to pick this up for a while now, myself. But I haven't been able to lacate it in any stores "near" me. If you can call the closest game place 2 hours away near. Anywho, glad to hear it's a good game and all! By the who, by the definition of the style of game you were looking for, you might want to pick up Freedom Fighters as well! It's one of my favorite games. That is, of course you already have it. I didn't happen to see your thread about this matter so what do I know.
The Seeker Posted January 6, 2005 Author Posted January 6, 2005 By the who, by the definition of the style of game you were looking for, you might want to pick up Freedom Fighters as well! It's one of my favorite games. No, I don't have it. But, gamespot says it's "Superb" and it has a pretty interesting premise, and it's cheap. I think I'll give it a go. And, yeah, my other thread was a while ago, but I found it here
Durocha Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I doubt you'll be dissapointed with it. And, uh, you could alwas watch this most AMAZING trailer! Oh yeah, it's just spectacular! Freedom Fighters Ok, so it's one made by me, and it's also rather ... ungood. But it was my very first one I did, and it's good for seeing the action of the game and laughing at as well! Heh heh, but yeah, it's a good game.
jebbers Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 this thread makes me want to play again.... and i laff really hard at the lady of the lake scene. when Jonesy skips the rock along the lake and it knocks the lady out....brilliant just brilliant....

Doomie Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Alright, i rented the game, and i have to admit: It's great. Only problems were that the game was kinda short, and that some missions didn't really fit in with the overall storyline. But i really loved it, it had great humor, and a nice story. Maybe they should make a part 2...

Doomie Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Howsabout a killerbee gun? Anyway, there's enough material too. According to the manual, Q, Jonesy and Roman were together for 6 years before AnD, and we haven't explored even half of milola yet, so...
The Seeker Posted January 7, 2005 Author Posted January 7, 2005 Yeah, if they bring out a good sequal, the Armed and Dangerous franchise will be one of those cult favorites like the Monkey Island games. *imagines shooting killer bee gun* bad guy: "NO! NO! AHHHHHHHHH! THEY'RE STINGING ME!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
jokemaster Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Funniest thing is definately the robots once they're reprogrammed.....
