Re: Stop Uwe Boll!

Haha Call of Duty the Movie should just be digitized clips of WW2 movies edited together

I still think the worst movie bastardization crime ever was not a game but "starship troopers" X( that guy needs dropped from orbit in a suit of plate armor with no parachute while I yell at him thru a headset mike. "THIS! It's supposed to be like THIS only you can survive the landing and throw nukes around you ass!"

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.

Re: Stop Uwe Boll!

The Medal of Honour series has actually been running that WWII was fought =o

Re: Stop Uwe Boll!

The first MoH game was released in 1999 and the latest was released this year.

9 years of games vs 8/6 years of WWII.

What was wrong with it? Now if you're talking about 2 then I can understand.

Re: Stop Uwe Boll!

I take it you didn't read the book...  In the book Mobile Infantry had powered armor.  They dropped from orbit and took nuclear powered hops through cities.  They had finger-lasers, flamethrowers, backpack rocket launchers and for some missions got equipped with nukes, nerve gas, and talking bombs that said (in alien lingo) "I"m a 30-second bomb! I'm a 30-second bomb! 29! 28! 27!..."  Rico used one on a crowded room full of aliens "Kinder to shoot a man...I didn't stay to see if everybody got out in time"  MI dropped on alien worlds and pwned them into switching to Humanity's side.  The Bugs were spider-like things the size of a cow that had beam weapons, starships, and high-powered projectiles. Some of them were dumb workers but the Warriors were just as smart and faster than human soldiers.

Re: Stop Uwe Boll!

Starship Troopers was indeed a horrible movie. The storyline was crap all together tongue

But I'd like to add some defence for the director, Paul Verhoeven. Although he made crap movies (Starship Troopers, Robocop, Showgirls) he also made very great movies too (Basic instinct, Turks fruit, Soldaat van Oranje and most of all: Zwartboek). I know that he was forced by the filmstudio he was working for to make Showgirls (after the succes of Basic Instinct) and Robocop (before they allowed him to make Basic Instinct), so perhaps he had to do this one too...

God: Behold ye angels, I have created the ass.. Throughout the ages to come men and women shall grab hold of these and shout my name...

Re: Stop Uwe Boll!

Basic Instinct was crap!!! 

but Robocop had some smart touches I liked.  That inane TV punchline "I'd buy that for a quarter!" was taken from a classic C.M. Kornbluth story "The Marching Morons" that posited a future Earth where imbeciles had outbred intelligent people by a factor of 99:1

Showgirls actually made topless chicks boring.  "Oh ok, syre, whip them out again.  yawn. No! Don't try to dance! DON'T TRY TO DANCE!!!!"

Perhaps he was gong for the "Operation Overlord" feel? That's the impression I got anyway.
