Title: Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust
Post by: Smooth Groove on April 01, 2009, 12:31:30 AM: Heard anything about this? It's coming out this week.

I didn't even know that this series was still alive.

It probably shouldn't be. And I actually (kinda, sorta) liked Magna Cum Laude, but it has nothing to with LSL. The lack of hype and the budget price on this title leads me to expect even less from this new entry.

Shame about the gameplay, but the game got shat on unfairly. It's a 6-7.5 game and it got a bunch of 2s and 3s.

I dunno, I think the game is a funnier adult-oriented game than fucking Grand Theft Auto, for example. I wish I could find some videos of the nerdy girl.

Only heard about the new game last week, no idea if I'll get it yet.

graphics are ugly as sin tho.

... who just died (?)

unless this is an extremely poor taste April Fool's Day joke from Howard Stern and/or Wikipedia vandals

Post by: Smooth Groove on April 01, 2009, 04:37:31 PM: Thanks for posting that review video, Patel. That probably got me laughing harder than any Larry moment. The guy has the most hilarious accent. It's like he's speaking some other language.

Btw, I don't think Artie is dead. He's probably famous enough to warrant a Google news headline if he's dead.

Was launching at 20 quid in the UK to start with. Not sure what the US price was though.

Also the Eurogamer review is awesome.

Meh, just pirate it. I don't think they even sell it new anymore anyway, and if you could find it, it would probably just be the M-rated version (although there's a patch for it that removes the nudity bars).
