Just keeping the forums interesting by pulling topics out of left field, y'know. Not really countering my "girly" games thread.

As for my definition of a "MANLY" game, it's probably gonna be one or a combination of these (if not all of them)...

1) Lots of muscles. HUGE slabs of meat attached to that big boned skeleton...

2) BIG HEROES use BIG WEAPONS!!! And I mean Huge Swords, Giant Clubs and even the infamous BFG 9000 (and its relatives)

3) 4 wheel drive offroad vehicles... the huge kind

4) Tons of bloody gibs everywhere

5) It's gotta be a sport of some kind. Preferrably full contact with a chance at a knockout.

6) Cool shades with "cool" one-liners to match.

7) The "MANLY" heroes of these games have to have matching beautiful women as their costars/sidekicks/love interests...

Okay... I got tired of thinking these all up. I'm sure you all have your opinions on what a "MANLY" game is...

I gotta learn next time not to cut/past a word in the title...

In the beginning there was nothing. There'll be nothing in the end...

I think it's a bit over-the-top to have two threads of essentially the same topic circulating on the forums at the same time.


Time is money. I just ripped you off.

It's got to have a protagonist with biceps that make my legs look like toothipicks, and a neck that'b bigger than his head (which should be buzz cut or bald. no emo hair here.

It's got to have guns that are bigger than half of the enemies that you kill

It's got to have a masochistic difficulty level and no allies to help you.

It's got to have terrible level design and just a pure never ending endlessly respawning horde of dumb gun toting bad guys

It's bosses have to be either Tanks, Helicopters, or a massive army of bad guys.

It's got to have "X" or "WAR" somewhere in the name.

It's got to have a protagonist with a gravely voice

It's got to include a provocative sex scene involving a blonde with large breasts.

It's got to have gore.

It's got to have a stupid, non complex, paper thin story:

"you're in a war with aliens"
is an excellent specimen for a mangame.

It's got to not even include one MOMENT of a puzzle or navigation difficulty. a large hallway full of cannon fodder is better than something intriquitely designed that you'll get lost in anyway.

Bugsy just mentioned about 99% of the shooter games out there in one post.

Bruce. My newsletter tut game. It's pretty manly, I mean it has a ninja, an ogre type dude, a dragon, bare chests (mens I'm afraid), smashing things, fireworks, instant skeletonisations, inverted waterfalls, pitfalls and... moths (but you can kill them).

I think the manliest game series has to be Gears of War, it tries the hardest at least. Except in GOW2 when that non-Marcus finds his wife, man up! - you'll get another one after the war. I don't know any women who like GOW, not compared to Halo or CoD at least - that must count for something.

It would appear Bugsy just gave an almost perfect description of Duke Nukem 3D.

Bloody sexists the lot of ya.

I don't think I'm insecure enough about my masculinity to participate in this thread.

Saying that, I'm about to his 'Post Message' aren't I?

Okay...I'll contribute, explosions...sorry, esplosions, more esplosions than all Michael Bay films put together.

Yeah...that'd be epic...probably quite literally earth shattering.

Michael Bay uses the same technique! AWZUM!

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things that I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
