Wet

It has to do with Wetworks. It's a term that was coined because Wetworks (something akin to black ops) literally leaves a person's hands wet with blood.

Another perverted joke ruined. Ta-daaaa~
 
this game looks terrible, i'm sure it'd be fun to play through once aslong as you didnt pay for it. but average graphics, cliched hero, reliant on set peices etc. i think i should mention the bad graphics again. the graphics look bad.
 
It's an allusion to wetworks, or perhaps the sexualization of the protagonist. Which I guess is apropo for a grindhouse exploitation film, which the game aspires to allude to, so does that make it okay as a marketing gimmick for an otherwise mediocre title? I've tried it. I advise you try it. Is it any good? The game has a fantastic soundtrack, but the action is more style than substance and before your 90 millionth slow-motion dive you will be bored to pieces with it. If you manage to put up with it you may play through it once to see the story but you probably won't ever pick it up again after that. The red white and black cell shading segments are gorgeous artistically, but the game still plays the same. The main selling point of this game is presentation, which might be excusable in a movie but when it comes at the cost of gameplay, unforgivable in a game. Also the heorin Rubi is sexy and detailed but her enemies mostly look like they walked out of Half-life one. Or a mod for that game. The same holds true for the environments. Most enemies are simplistic and blocky with bad animations. The film grain effect that covers much of the game is a boon to hiding the lack of detail, you can turn it off and on, leave it on. The combat is too simplistic, there's a combo system but not a whole lot you can do with it due to a limited number of attacks and little difference in what you use, Rubi is virtually invincible in slow motion and there's no point to not doing the whole game in slow mo because fighting otherwise is pathetically ineffective. Also you never run out of slow motion. This isn't like a Max Payne or Stranglehold where the slow motion was a resource to be husbanded and used tactically, you can literally slow mo anytime you want. While it's nice to not be left sitting on a pile of nukes you may need at some point in the future, there's also shockingly little joy when strategy and planning are removed all together.

Bottom line. Feel free to rent it. Don't buy it.
 
Gamefly'd and finished it. Pretty much all style and gets boring (you can die in slow mo later in the game trust me lol) but it's fun to play through once. I'll say this, that bitch is a MAN. I usually don't games that try to sex up some lead female character, but this bitch is so MAD! She's mad at somethin I dunno what, but she MAD. Even the main villain says at one point that she's got some balls lol. Manliest female lead ever.

But yeah don't go buying it at full price or anything, it's pretty one dimensional. That one dimension is fun to watch for sure, but it's not worth 60 bucks.
 
This game looks and plays (they have a demo on xboxLive) like Quinten Tarentino got up the morning after making Kill Bill, got high on crack, and decided to make a game. It's got a great style to it but the controls are just plain garbage.
 
Pssshh, what next? I know... let's name a game Boner, where you are some dude going after some mob boss who murdered your family and the hero has the ability to go into slow-mo and pull knives out of his trenchcoat to throw at enemies. I think there's a game like this, except it's not called Boner... let me thi- The Punisher! *facepalm* :/

it seemed the only way to get anything accomplished was jump or slide around like a tard needlessly

Yeah but Ivy slinks around and sticks her tits out and all that feminine shit. This bitch is MAD. Like, U MAD? mad. Got hate (and whiskey) in her heart. I seriously just sat there the whole game goin DAMN bitch why you so mad?

But yeah fun rental, nothing else. I had no issue with the controls, aiming your guns individually was fun I thought. Not an interesting enough mechanic to keep you playing multiple times, is all.
