So upsetting.

[Greygor]

I have no problem with this, as a fan of the comic I can either ignore it or play it. As long as it's enjoyable to those who play it wheres the arm.

Was Everyone complaining when they brought out the Watchmen adventures and Source book for the DC Heroes Role-Playing Game?

Total Overdose was pretty generic, pretty generic + Licensed game = Nothing new here.

[Mike Pothier]

The person complaining should be Alan Moore, and god knows he complains about everything.

Well, no, but Alan Moore actually contributed to the RPG guide, if I recall correctly.
That was before DC decided to pull a dick move and sell Watchmen buttons, and refused to pay Moore and Gibbons their deserved royalties for said buttons by claiming they were 'marketing' promotions.
That said, I could care less about the game.

make's one afraid about what is to come, when the movie arrives.
To reduce Watchmen to this..... the horrror, the horror...

And @ Mike Pöthier: He has every right to complain this much. What would you do if you had been screwed by the "biz" as much as he was?

Ah geez. I saw some gameplay of this on X-Play yesterday. It literally looks like the worst beat-em-up since the 3rd dimension was added. Double Dragon would be ashamed.

you beat me to it! I just had it on in the background while I was reading, but I stopped to watch. The developer was talking about how good the game looked and that toad Sessler agreed. It looks, bad!
Not only should Double Dragon be ashamed, this may trickle all the way down to Streets of Rage III being able to be ashamed.

Speaking of x-play, when did Morgan Webb get so g/d ugly?
