DualShockers Review: WET

This is the 1st (Online) review of the highly stylized shooter "WET" from Bethesda Softworks!
The embargo lifted at 12:01am EST Tuesday September 15th!

DualShockers Write:

"Sometimes when I have a really bad day at work, and I need to kill at least 700 men with guns and weapons, I look to the game Wet.When I first heard of this game, I thought this was going to be some beach type game or something really dirty. I still got the dirty part right, but there was no beach. To my surprise with a mixture of Quentin Tarantino, Kill Bill, and lots of old western stylized movies put together, Bethesda could create a game like this..."

Entertaining review. It actually did better than what I thought it would. I'm surprised that the author actually liked it. Might rent this one and give it a go... especially if it's a lot like Kill Bill...

[iiprotocolii]

I would have thought that Bathesda would have done or complained something with regards to the mediocre graphics. The game sounds fun... but how it looks is totally something else.

Had my doubts after the demo but this review seems to have really helped me change my mind. Will at least give it a rent now, and an open mind.

Anything thing involving Eliza dushku has to be hot!

[brendanecock]

This sounds like a game for me to try. I love the Kill Bill, I love shoot em ups, and I love Malcolm Mcdowell,lol.

[Chadness]

I loved the style of the game when I played the demo... Might have to try the full thing! ;)

[whothedog]

This game was horrible :)

*Opinions based on the demo*

i didnt like the demo, i think the "bullet time" effect is really retarded, it was cool in 96 or in max payne but otherwise it sucks hard and they overused the effect which is horrible for a game that your in slow-mo every 30 seconds.

[DARK WITNESS]

to be fair we have not seen a decent game do bullet time this gen..

the only games that have are rubbish unreal powered crap, that look so bad it's hard to appreciate it.

lets wait till Max payne 3 comes out.

[RedPawn]

An 4 outta 5, that means at minimum it's an 8 outta 10, bullsh!t. Look we all love Tarantino Noir, but for those who truly pay attention to his movies, they're based around outrageous dialogue. WET is a guilty pleasure of violence and pure action, but not note worthy to own, RENT this before you full head on purchase cause hype can't hide from the truth.

[NaiNaiNai]

After playing the demo, it was rather good. a little buggy at times, but still rather good.

I'm not just trying to be mean but that review was appallingly badly written.

"Oh yes I have been imagining to do that to quite a few people"
"just imagining the amount of carnage that you will make is catastrophic"
"It was combination of both a plus and a negative put together"
"A good idea is to always change up the combo once in awhile"
"The graphics, especially for the PS3, was not what I expected"
"but the way the game was visually viewed"
"Malcolm McDowell, the actor who helped destroy the Halloween movies by Rob Zombie, but I still love him"
"a few times in the game where she just gets really pissed than she usually is"

Okay I'll stop there since there are just too many to list. I'm really just trying to help you out. If English is not your first language or if you're still in your early to mid teens I completely understand but you have to realise that this article comes across like it was written by a dumb 13 year old with a Transformers 2 T shirt on.

I've been waiting for reviews of this game for a while. I've been really torn between loving it's art style and hating it's gameplay but I just can't take your review score seriously at all because your writing doesn't command any respect.

I've decided to wait for a 'real' review from a 'real' gaming site. Please understand I don't say that out of spite or anything. I'm just saying, if you want people to take your site seriously and don't want to lose business to more professional seeming sites you really need to step up your game or start writing reviews exclusively in your native language. The only other sentence I've read so far on that site is this, "So here I am my first proper review for DualShockers". You see? It's all so shabby and teenage seeming you really can't expect anyone to respect your opinion of the games you review.

[Grevan]

I am reading the article, and it seems you are writing your own stuff that he did not say.
"Oh yes I have been imagining to do that to quite a few people"
"just imagining the amount of carnage that you will "make" is catastrophic"...it is not 'make', it is 'wake'. You being the so called English Major I believe you already know what that means, or you changed the word to 'make' because you didn't.
To someone who can't spell realize, or know what the difference between its and it's, third grader's material, then your comment is nullified.
Other than that the game was alright, and Malcolm McDowell did help destroy those recent Halloween movies,lol.

Haha come on man, the article must have been altered since I provided my constructive criticism. I took every one of those quotes by highlighting, right clicking, copying and pasting. You don't have to believe me and I'll admit I'd have to be some kind of nut to be fabricating quotes in order to complain about the writing on a website but I swear to you every single one of those quotes was a direct copy paste. I didn't type a word of them.

You totally have me on 'realise' and 'it's' but you have to realise that I'm just some schlub commenting on a gaming website and it's okay if my spelling sucks (did that piss ya off enough?). These people at Dualshockers are clearly trying to become a respectable gaming information and review site and I believe I was helping them by pointing out ways in which they need to improve their service in order to gain the respect they seek.

Please also keep in mind that I wasn't picking up on one or two spelling mistakes (the type that very respected professional sites such as IGN commit all the time) I was pointing out the fact that this article was almost incomprehensibly poorly written and I was pointing this out in order to help these people. While I respect your desire to stand up for someone you feel is being insulted for no reason you have to realiZe that they're not going to thank you for standing up for them against that mean ol' grammar Nazi when their site has completely failed due to it gaining a reputation as just another ignorant teenager's gaming blog.

By the by, I'm no fan of those recent Halloween 'remake' cash in pieces of crap. I just added that quote because it gave the impression that the reviewer loved Rob Zombie's direction and just didn't approve of Malcolm Macdowell's acting in the film along with a few other unnamed factors he felt ruined Zombie's film. I think the point the reviewer was getting at was that 'Malcolm Macdowell helped Rob Zombie destroy the Halloween franchise' but I could be wrong.

Maybe I did come across as a little harsh but my intention was to provide constructive criticism. If the article was extremely well written then I apologise profusely. If the article was poorly written but my writing sucks too I fail to see how my writing ability affects the article in any way.
