Limbo of the Lost (picture intensive)

[Mira]

Okay, I am about 2 years too late, but I am going to play Limbo of the Lost. The game passed under the radar as a bad adventure game for a bit until it was revealed that almost 100% of the game was plagiarized.

Here I will catalog my descent into madness by request of the irc.


Shall we begin?


First the games starts by two dudes talking to eachother, but the dialog is pretty much indecipherable.



Oh great, they put me in the sexual offender wing of the jail.


The worst part of this game has to be the corridors. They are seemingly endless and you often have to travel back and forth through them to solve "puzzles."

To show how bad it is I will show every screen from the beginning of the game until the screen where something actually happens.









Oh, look at that shit-eating grin. He knows what he is doing. I can hear him now, "Haha, you actually are playing this fucking thing? You are a loser."




What the fuck?



Yeah, Briggs doesn't know either.



Well I'll be damned, something is happening. This is about a 10 minute cut scene where this monstrosity talks in babble.



Yeah, even John "I eat shit" Briggs can't take this guy. This picture of Briggs with his eyes shut is on the screen for about 15 seconds.


Here is the next character we... what the fuck is her name? Cranny Faggot? Really?













Really?

[Mira]

Okay, now I will demonstrate the type of logic that the puzzles in this game use.



See those ropes? I need to burn them. I have a torch in my pocket. I must have to use it on that fire on the wall to light it right? Wrong.



I have to go all the way back here to just light the torch.


I won't go into details, but eventually I find the key to exit this gods-forsaken prolouge. The trouble is finding the door that goes with that key.



It is straight down from there, but this game gives absolutely no indication that there is a passageway in that direction.



Thank the Gods.


Sidenote: The developer is apparantley a huge fan of extreme close-ups.



Extreme!



How cool!



Totally rad!



eX-TREME!





More to come later, I need a break.

I just finished reading a playthrough. Why? Why is it haunting me? I WON'T PLAY YOU, GAME. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME DO IT.

I have so little sanity left

[xaria]

do a video review!

[Jebediah]

I have a strange urge to play this game.

Plagiarized from what?

Lots of things. Unreal Tournament 2004, Oblivion, Thief III, World of Warcraft, and Beetlejuice, to name but a few.

There's practically nothing original in the whole game. Even the concept art is copied directly from other works.

[wmdkitty]

Oh.

Damn, I bet they get hit with a lawsuit fer that.

[RavynousHunter]

Not that I know of, and I followed this thing for months after it was released. Still can't believe they stole from Deadly Shadows... Of all the games in the Thief series, why that one? Because it's the latest? Fucking posers.

Cranny Faggot... *giggle-snort*

[Admiral Lithp]

Wait, what's the plot of this thing?

[Sigmaleph]

Something about an epic battle between Fate and Destiny for the free will of mankind.

[Admiral Lithp]

That involves bad close-ups, extreme amounts of plagiarism, & some green thing named Cranny Faggot?

[Lady Renae]

Pretty much.

Hey Mattias, how about an update, eh?

[Mira]

I have abandoned this project. I entered as a naïve child. I left, no, I never did quite leave. When I averted my gaze from this abhorrent segment of human sadism I found myself a demented shell of a being.

Now, however, I make my stand. I will not let this madness consume me. I will defeat it.

More to come.
