Reviews for "They Live: The Game"

judging from the other reviews, I must be doing something wrong.

I'm completely unable to survive the first wave.

They kill me in two hits... and I only rarely hit them. Occasionally it's a headshot, usually it's a complete miss despite always lining the gun up with the enemy or lining my feet up with their feet. Never can tell with brawler geometry. (i hate brawlers)

I experienced a problem. I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and it seems I ran out of bubblegum. Is there a way to fix this?

deathink responds:

I'm sorry, there isn't currently a way to restock bubble gum via the interface, however, feel free to kick as much as you like in the meantime.

Nice idea but the shooting is very buggy

Wish I could've given this a better score, especially since it's beatable, but I find the old TV scan lines to be way too thick. Then you put the glasses on, it's much worse! If I could see the range of the bullets, it'd have been a lot easier... maybe if they were colored red? Also found the cop's AI movements to be a little too aggressive, especially when it takes 2 buttons to fire.

I was hoping the game would be as sharp as the title screen :\ Otherwise, the game's laid out well, the medals work, sounds good, the ambiance is there... maybe too much ambiance for a gamer.

deathink responds:

Thanks for the review my man.
The scan lines should be the same size as in the title, maybe that's a glitch.
While I find the game play super engaging, and tailored almost specifically to my "action oriented" needs, I was very aware how this game would be received by the public, and most of the features that people would see as negative traits.
However, I don't really consider this a game. I consider it a satire, and complex fan art. Not really meant to be played to "beat", but just a short nostalgic thing to be experience. My goal was to just make people turn it on and say "how cool would it be if this was an actual real game".
I think people would really enjoy it more if they picked up on that. But honestly, its really flattering that people completely missed the fact that it was a mock game and thought that is was the real game.
And in the end (most likely because it was tailored to to me) I found the game play super engaging. But again, I am not criticizing anyone for not finding it so.

Awful design. If you want to make a tribute to something, maybe don't play an incredibly annoying loop every single time you die every ten seconds? Don't feel very inclined to grind for any upgrades.
