Sure but that game is plain good

Anyway how is your sex life OP?

Oblivion

Can I have a dozen red roses?

You're my favourite customer.

Hello doggy.

i can never hurt you doggy

No, a bad game is frustrating to play. A glitchy game can be hilarious, but a plain bad game isn't fun

The difference between good and bad would tear you appart.

Hi Doggy!

I DID NOT HIT HER

I DID NOT

YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE CHICKEN OP. CHEEP CHEEP.

(you)

Oh hi mark

Search for the GBA American Idol game

Dont do it at work.

Not really. Absolutely nothing compares to The Room. It's an anomaly. Nobody can really compare to Tommy Wiseau or The Room. The Room is too bizarre to be labelled as a "so bad it's good" movie. The best I can do to sum it up is to say that The Room is a movie created by an alien with limited understanding of humanity. Everything in the movie comes from Tommy's head and the way he sees the world.

>“Before running the scene one final time, Tommy wanted to talk to the flower shop owner about her dog. “So cute,” he said, as he petted the dog. “Hopefully he doesn’t bite me, my God.”
I think the owner somehow misinterpreted this as Tommy wanting the dog out of the next take. “Well,” she said, “he’s actually really old now. He just sits around. He won’t bother anyone. He kind of rules over this counter.”
Tommy nodded, smiling, still gazing down at the motionless little dog. “So is it real thing?”
The flower shop owner looked at Tommy uncertainly. “I’m sorry?” she said, after a moment.
“Your dog,” Tommy said, unfazed. “Is it real thing?”
The woman kept looking at Tommy, probably trying to figure out whether this man who’d taken over her store was really asking if her dog was real. Did Tommy think it was a robot? An android pug of some kind?
“Yes,” the woman said finally. “My dog is a real thing.”

ye ye

>movie created by an alien with limited understanding of humanity
Tommie he's on to us

Movies can be so bad their good because they're so short and easy to share the experience with friends. But nobody wants to play a bad game for 8+ hours.

A game can have a so-bad-it's-good story, but it still has to be attached to an ok game.

Stories in vidya in vidya can, Resident Evil 4 is pure retarded schlock and I love it.
Gameplay would be more difficult because it's something you have to actually interact with. The only way I could see gameplay being so bad that it's good is if its broken in such a way that you can exploit problems to do hilarious things.

holy fucking shit man, thank you for posting this

Yeah, so bad it's good movies are like trainwrecks that you watch. With a bad game you're a passenger on the train.

...

We need to find a way to get him to finish the saga.

speedruns of sonic '06 are pretty cool, and they look decent to play as well.

I thought Vampire Rain was really good.

I remember him posting that the game will be finished. And as a full game no less, so no more episodic shit.

This is good news indeed my friend.

>The only way I could see gameplay being so bad that it's good is if its broken in such a way that you can exploit problems to do hilarious things.

Sonic Boom comes to mind. Though the actual game is pretty boring.

I guess Sonic 06 can count, but there isn't much to mess around in. Sonic's story can be entertaining, but Silver and Shadow's are pretty boring.

I guess Assassins Creed Unity too.

GET READY FOR MORE YE YE BOYS

>YE YE BOYS
He also mentioned something about fixing ye ye to not loop anymore. So yeah. Prepare for complications.

what the fuck is tom fulp doing these days

Working on another Behemoth game that's been in the works for years at this point.

>Main character makes fun of grunt for his ponytail
>There is no ponytail shown on him.

Bad Rats.

Or I think it was Behemoth, might just be going under the Newgrounds name this time I'm not sure.

OH HAI MARK :3

...

not really if the controls are bad you become frustrated look at superman 64 kek

there is actually a the room video game but not one talks about it

youtube.com/watch?v=FkP09fj-SqM

i played it to the end with all spoons aswell

>People still going on about babby's first awful film
What games can I be Neil Breen in?

>fixing
I thought it was intentional, along with the fact that all the loading screens were fake since the game loads every area sometimes before the screens even come up.

They said I will get it within three months! I saved them bundles! I don't think I will ever get. They are crazy and I don't care anymore.

Nah.

>Nah
I've already played System Shock 2, though.

Definitely.

>it looks even worse

...

u take that back mgs is a good game it a good game it goes to school it goes to church it din du nuffin

I met Greg "Oh hi Mark" Sostero about 2 months ago at a talk he gave in Dublin. He's doing another film with Tommy called "Best F(r)iends" btw. Got him to sign my blu ray of The Room.

He seems like a broken man. He's been stuck with this fucking awful film for, what, 10 years now. He probably thinks his name is Mark sometimes.

He wrote a book about his experience. I've really gotta read it sometime.

That's Anonymous Agony in the style of Metal Gear you fag
And that's MG, not MGS.

That movie is what even got him on people's minds. I doubt he would have had a big breakout role, h'ed probably end like 80% of the aspiring move actors doing second rate roles.

There's an audio book, narrated by Greg. It's great.

He is a snake who backstabbed Tommy in the back.

You do. I've never read a making of book before and been MORE confused as to how the fuck a film got made. And when you know what went into so many of the shots it makes them 20 times more baffling and hilarious. I won't spoil it, but the shooting of the "It's not true, I did not hit her, it's bullshit, I did not hit her, I did naht.....oh hi Mark" shot (and I mean that ONE shot) is actually unbelievable.

Honestly, I think he would have done alright for himself otherwise. He had a speaking role in a cheesy horror called The Puppetmaster II, he's an okay actor and he's handsome as fuck. He could have had a steady career in it.

"So bad it's good" is the inversion of fault into entertainment.

Where The Room is a technical disaster of all things cinema, the earnest efforts of Tommy Wiseau to tell what should have been a tragic and possibly personal story shine through his complete incompetence as a director, write and actor.

The core element to "so bad it's good" is truth.
The heart and soul that goes into a work can be seen regardless of its objective qualities.

It's not enough for a film, book, song or game to be unbelievably bad.
The Room going from base 10 to a negative does not make its quality stat underflow to 255.

What makes The Room good, or at least, enjoyable, is the honest effort of its cast and crew to create something.

In light of this, how do we perceive a game as "so bad it's good?"
Unlike film, players have an active part in making the experience of the game.
As such, games that are mechanically faulty very easily slide into the "bad" category. It's hard to enjoy something for what it does right, when you personally have to slog through what it does wrong.

There are certainly spectacles of bad games, like Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, but are they so bad they're good?

I think the stock answer to this question is Deadly Premonition. A flawed work that skates by on charm and quirk, much like The Room.

And I think it becomes the stock answer because, what else is there?
Video games as a medium is so much more restrictive in terms of "acceptable quality."

Should a game fail as completely in its medium as The Room had, I doubt anyone could stomach those faults for whatever good may be waiting inside, because they would actually have to play it, and the faults make that a chore.

CAN a game be so bad it's good?
Well I believe so.

It's just hard to pull off.

Nice post. Gotta agree about the honesty, that is what makes the so bad it's good quality and why people fail miserably when they intentionally try to cause this effect.

It can

What about games that are good because they're bad?

Is David Cage the Tommy Wiseau of vidya?

>the honest effort of its cast and crew to create something.
lol no. Tommy was the only person trying throughout.

But I get your point. There are lots of Room quality Let's Players.

I know there's The Disaster Artist and how the whole production was a mess, but I think in the film you can see the other actors trying to make the best of what was obviously going to be a failed project.

Don't worry about it.

Fucking this. This is the The Room of vidya right here.

Drakengard

The book is great, read it. Of course, Sestero tried to make it part "making of" and part "muh autobiography", so you'll get to read several pages about his acting career (nothing to write home about), but it's really funny and you get a glimpse into Wiseau's head unlike any other.

he didn't actually say that right?

He was the only person trying, because he got on the crew's nerves so much that at one point they fucking gave up and went with his ideas.

I've never been much of a reader but I read that book like I've never read a book before. I laughed so hard at all of the bizare shit it had to tell

>The best I can do to sum it up is to say that The Room is a movie created by an alien with limited understanding of humanity
You DO know that he's Polish, right? The director behind a recent "The Room" documentary unearthed some documents and actually visited the citiy of Łódź where Tommy was born.
