Would a Crossed game work?

Enemies wouldn't be mindless but actually plan attacks, use weapons, rape and disembowl you if captured, etc.

Enemies wouldn't be mindless but actually plan attacks

no game has ever done this literally ever

zombie apocalypse but the zombies also rape

This is Crossed's entire gimmick. That's it. So the answer is no.

I'm referring to zombie-like enemies

I love it when a Crossed thread on any board always exposes the moralist newfags lmao.

Sorry fren, we all saw it

I've been posting here since 2006. I just grew up is all. I'm sorry you're still a nigger who laughs at stupid shit like rape. Maybe it reminds you of how you were born.

I've wasted 20 years of my life on a Bangladeshi kite testing forum

Both of you are pathetic in your own ways.

We have enough safe edgy games already, thanks.

not liking Crossed makes me a moralist newfag

You are legitimately braindamaged or worse, a ideologically compromised permateen.

Are you implying it WOULDNT have a whole bunch of crass shit in it? Because if you think Im wrong that itd be a more crass Back 4 Blood then you havent actually read Crossed.

What would you do if (You) got Crossed™ , Anon Babble?

Shitpost on Anon Babble, but with even less legibility.

TF2 already had that like 15 years ago.

say the N word

>not liking Crossed makes me a moralist newfag

Honestly, yeah, kinda. Contrary to what it may look like, there are some genuinely good stories in Crossed. Dismissing it because it has rape in it screams moralfag.

post the covers

itd be too gory

this lol

metro basically did it with the yamantau level, others can follow

If you don't like my garbage tasteless edgeslop ur a moralist!!!

Crap like Crossed is genuine garbage. It's the kind of crap a 12 year old will find cool because there's swearing and blood and nasty shit happening. It's just drivel without any actual purpose or substance. And don't call me a moralist or puritan or something because I love Manhunt or the Punisher third person shooter with torture and violent executions.

They'd have to tone it down a bit, it could work. Have to have in the classic "HORSECOCK" moment when that dude smacks the other with it.

Bro please read a second graphic novel

Just crazy gore, that's all it is. Not much of a story

The animal abuse/torture in this series bothered me far more than what happens to the humans in it.

le hecking animarino are better than humans

just kys and get over with it already

Crossed is terrible because of the same reason all of Ennis's shit after he left the big two is terrible, and all his peers works are terrible. These third party comics saw that some of his stories sold really good, offered him a pile of money and gave him complete creative control with no editors in the way to so they got "raw unfiltered genius". What these publishers failed to realize is that behind every good writer, is an equally good editor that reigns them in and tells them which of their ideas are good, and which ones are fucking stupid.

They'd have to tone down so much from the original comics that a game would functionally not be a crossed story anymore. You just can't get away with outside of a comic.
The Crossed comics include.

Torture

Sadism

Sexual assault

Necrophilia

Murder of children

Nihilistic depressing themes

blasphemous religious imagery (including towards Islam)

Social darwinism

All of these are taboo in the 'modern audience' AAA gaming industry.

Confirmed for never reading any of it.

>le hecking animarino are better than humans

For the most part, yes. I'd spare one kitten/puppy over all of this brown biomass. Seethe about it Rajesh.

28 years later is almost certainly going to be crossed-lite

It would be like a zombie game except also the zombies are just people but evil.

I could see it as a roguelike. Really play up that no one survives or gets a happy ending.

The infection transmits by any type of fluid touching you.
So really there would be almost no way of making that into a game unless its like They Are Billions.

I think the twist isn't going to be smart zombies but rather smart immune humans that have normalized killing non immune people. The trailer seems to be suggesting someone is using infected as a weapon, an infected would not string another infected upside down with a bag on its head and a written message.

That's just Dayz.

Also the one shot of the kid being lifted up into the air in what seems to be a really creepy religious congregation. They dont appear infected. The kid is probably revealed to be immune. So the other immune people attach religious significance to their immunity to justify genociding normies and because he's immune he gets to be part of the club.

I genuinely like Crossed and it's a shame we will never get more of it.
Yellow Belly deserved everything that happened to him before and after.

I think everyone is tire of zombie games.

Didn't they just do Crossed 100 like 2 years ago? What happened? They just decided they were done?

Avatar Press, the publisher who owns the Crossed IP, went bankrupt.

They're still around in some capacity. But they're only publishing their back catalog. Not making any new stuff.

They're making a Crossed movie directed by the guy who made that Taiwanese rip off a few years back.

The series written by Garth Ennis and Alan Moore are both surprisingly restrained with their use of gratuitous sex violence and nudity. It's the stuff from cross badlands where Ennis let the writers do pretty much whatever they wanted where things get really bad.

Really? That taiwanese movie was pretty good

There are two kinds of Crossed writers.

Those who want to realistically explore the psychological impact this sort of apocalypse would have on the survivors.

Those who just want an excuse to shock and defile the readers eyeballs with the most shocking and depraved imagery

Based. Animals are the white man's best friend.

You're completely 100% correct my friend.
I also read and owned every issue. There is nothing wrong with trashy entertainment and Crossed was always at least entertaining. There isnt one story that isn't at least entertaining for a read.

Garth Ennis tried to get a crossed movie made years ago. But it fell into development hell because the Zombie movie trend fell off, and is now unlikely to ever get made.
youtube.com/watch?v=KY4WX1PMQ2Y

I'm pretty sure that no one in this thread has actually read Crossed.
Crossed (the actual original comics, not the later collection of stories made by a bunch of other authors) has very few violent scenes, but they're pretty well done in how memorable they are.
It's a nice horrific twist on the zombie trope that has been quite overused and has thus lost much in its fear factor over time.

Crossed Badlands is utter garbage, on the other hand, but it hasn't been made by Ennis.

I'd imagine it fell off more because crossed is pretty much impossible to market to a wide audience. It either would get revisions until it was just another zombie movie or it would get an extremely limited release and very little discussion.

All multiplayer games become Crossed-likes naturally.
Pretty much any 2 team zombie game, is already Crossed as a video game.

That's what I was saying here There are good crossed stories, and there are bad crossed stories.
Some of them are genuinely good post-apocalyptic fiction on par with Crossed, Planet Of The Apes, or a Dog And His Boy. Others are violent self indulgent schlock worthy of a Troma movie or a late 80s OVA anime like Violence Jack.

i much prefer the later comics. the original is some mediocre zombie shit with a fair bit of edginess. the later ones are far worse and far edgier, which is way more entertaining. kids jumping into woodchippers, pregnant crossed eating her newborn baby, i love that stuff for how incredibly hard it tries.

I'm pretty sure I've read every issue and arc, and the one thing they never did as I recall is depict female on male rape.

edgy things are fun, Crossed is just dogshit. Garth ennis has written exactly one thing in his life worth reading and that was hitman. even then you can see his "style" bleeding through but hitman felt goofy enough to get away with it.

Garth ennis has written exactly one thing in his life worth reading and that was hitman

How the fuck can you forget about Punisher MAX? It's his best work by far. Excellent from beginning to end.

you know im being harsh on max because it has points where it just shits the bed with "ennis moments" but thats on me because it does have more good than bad.

Ennis understood that the only way to make the punisher work is by giving him good villains and thus giving him an excuse to be as ridiculously violent and brutal as possible. The best aspect of Punisher MAX is reading the different arcs and looking forward to seeing how Frank is going to kill these bastards. It's cathartic storytelling at its very best.

yeah you know you aren't wrong about that. the problem is I reread it recently and couldnt help but notice that even through the punisher ennis gets on his soapbox occasionally and looking back on it, its really transparent.

Treat little girls humanely and with lots of kindness and patience?

Except when he jobs to a bunch of retarded wives or kills shareholders just because.

I like Crossed for the simple fact that its not involved with capeshit universes. I don't want to read something that takes place in Marvel or DC universe. So fucking tired of that shit.
I enjoy Punisher MAX but its great because yes it takes place in the DC universe but it barely EVER has anything to do with it.

Garth Ennis

Kike

Kek. Kinda this

why not just read something thats not in those universes AT ALL then you retard?

Crossed badlands is one of the most wildly inconsistent comics I've read.

Only if you played from the perspective of the Crossed.

I do. Why do you think I don't?

Edgy gore-porn for atheistic degenerates. Trash material, horrible writing.

FPBP

I accept your consneedion.

Would probably make a fun roguelike game.

because the writer is prime "capeshit writer who wishes he wasn't writing capeshit" and he's a shittier writer for it which makes it sound like you just cant get away from the stuff.

I read all the original Crossed comics and read a few volumes of Badlands and none of them are particularly good. The series doesn't have anything of value.

Na. I barely read western comics.
Mostly read manga for the past decade.
My biggest problem with western comics outside of capeshit taking over it all is that I fucking HATE how they keep switching writers and artists in the middle of series.
Im reading a comic because I liked how it looked and then they just switch out into a shittier artist and expect me to keep reading? Na fuck that. Ill stick with the slant eye comics. At least they have a consistent art style throughout the entire series.

Wouldnt it be impossible to survive the crossed out break? Like that shit is even more contagious than the Green flu from Left 4 Dead. As far as I know if ANY type of body fluid even touches your skin you get turned into one of them. So melee combat is basically suicide and guns make too much noise.

electric retard but pretentious

mass # replying tourist faggot calling other newfags

God I love ryona

yeah thats one of the biggest problems. give judge dredd a shot. it switches artists but over its like 40 year run or whatever its a mostly consistent in which artists are cycled in and out that are part of the "judge dredd" artists and writers for the most part. its not perfect but it and hellboy are more tolerable.

I don't know if it's possible to survive it or not but personally, if that happened, I would kill myself as soon as possible.

Not sifting through a pile of shit for a $20 bill. I can get good stories without having to go through the edginess that is Crossed.
I don't even particularly mind gore and violence and rape. But Crossed goes so over the top without treating itself seriously enough for the setting to be interesting. Its the definition of edgy for edginess sake. It can be FUN but its not GOOD.

Crossed works only as a sinecere over the top gorn that is so absurdly brutal it goes back to being funny because of the ridiculousness. But then the game would get AO 18+ rating so you can't probably make it work financially. And made for modern audience HR is in the room writers would be afraid to do anything sincere, let alone Crossed.

extremely based fp lmao
your dumbass thread got raped!!!

One of the crossed issues was about people going up north to places where its always snowy and cold and the Crossed are retards that don't wear clothes so they freeze and die.
I assume as long as you live up there youll be fine after a couple months.
Surviving the INITIAL outbreak though? I have no idea.

Wouldnt it be impossible to survive the crossed out break?

Almost every Crossed comic ends with every character of the survivor group dead or infected so yes. Even ones where people live on cold mountains or on islands roaming crossed hoards eventually find them during spring time once the snow is gone.

There are already two Grezzo titles available for download.

The ones with Smokey were good. He was fun and sympathetic in a really twisted way.

Better yet, a Marshal Law game would be pretty gud but it'd be pretty much just Crackdown but you fight mainly costumed supes and their thugs

Some were pretty brutal.

Pretty much. Not everything needs to be high IQ. Crossed is entertaining because it's beyond retarded.

Then you haven't, because there is at least one issue where a hag forces an uninfected man to eat her out.

BDSM leather costume

faux-Nazi hat

upside-down cross mask

a Tec-9 ghetto blaster but also some sci-fi gun

barbed wire tattoo

high heels

Jeez

a large number of Dredd comics, including some of the most historically important arcs, were pencilled by Cam Kennedy, and I can't be the only one who fucking detests his style.

If it's fun it's good. The whole point of entertainment is to entertain one way or another.

It is the same guy who did Nemesis/Rogue Trooper/Judge Dredd/Punisher 2099 after all. Marshal Law was also apparently the main inspiration for The Boys, although it's a lot more funny and takes itself a lot less seriously. The main story is also rather short, only 6 issues.

This shit is mental bleach, it literally gives you brain damage to consume something so trash

Read Shakara it's short and good

What arc/issue is this from again?

be a 15 year old 15 years ago

friend introduces me to another friend at a party

seems like a totally ordinary person

weeks later ask him if he wants to see a movie with me since he is in the area

agrees to see Kickass

like twenty minutes into the film we get to the part where the main character goes to an apartment full of gangsters and gets into a fight

friend of a friend gets out of his seat and walks out

figure he was just going to the bathroom

he never comes back

he isnt even in the lobby when the movie is over

hours later get a call from my original friend who says his friend is pissed

apparently he doesnt like violent movies (he thought this was a superhero movie like Spiderman)

dont talk to that guy for another few weeks

we end up at school together, friend of a friend and friendo originale are there

decide to bring up with the problem was and why he doesnt like violence

tries to trauma dump on me about he was deployed overseas and saw real life violence, so he doesnt like fictional violence

call him a stupid pussy

ended up killing himself the end of that school year

Whenever I see people talk about how much they hate shit like Crossed I think about that guy
He is who I imagine all of you are. Future suicide statistics and retards

Were conehead designs really something that people liked?

I recommend reading Luther Strode if you really like stuff like Hokuto no Ken.

nah, because violence is a tool like anything else. you bring up kickass, which (iirc) used violence to satirize the typical superhero bullshit. violence in that movie would not be expected, but the movie would be shit without it.
crossed is just porn. that's it. its for losers with weird fetishes to masturbate over. not liking crossed just means you have better taste than that weirdo that would torture cats because it gave him a hardon.

you wont be laughing when they transform

Psychopath.

Are you sure it was because of that and not because you farted too hard?

that's good bait I like that

called him a stupid pussy

Based.

It gets funnier

You're not any less pathetic than them. You're "wasting your life" posting on here too you dumb nigger.

This stage was pretty cool, one of the only parts where you get to properly shoot guns
poor anna probably got raped a lot too

rampant biological warfare around every corner

need to wear full face protection and gloves everywhere

even licking an envelope to seal it is enough to fuck your playthrough over

I imagine a roguelike of some kind because the Crossed like to lace everything with their infection knowing full well that it has a very small gestation period to work. The Invisble Strain works with a system similar to this where if you get hit with a red or white strain you are turbo fucked in a matter of minutes without a cure.

eternal edgelord gets called out

Lul

fallout shelter filled with literally hundreds of dudes hopped up on incest, mutations and kuru

surprised that they didn't try to pull some moralfag bullshit by whomping you over the head with that famous Canadian proverb

I just remember it being a spooky house chase sequence with fire axes and machetes. How they managed to last as long as they did is a bit mind boggling. Your average station back in the Metro didn't have nearly as many bodies to throw at an intruder like these ones did.

Borderlands doesn't have rape

What famous Canadian proverb? My only experience with Canada is Trailer Park Boys

That's usually the running theme with this series Even being on a luxury cruise-liner turned floating nation doesn't last long either despite being able to last out on the open water with some tweaks. It's misery porn in its most distilled form. Nothing good ever happens in it and you see the end results of that a hundred years after the fact when most of the infected should've died off.

Trudeau once said if you kill your enemies they win.

If you kill your enemies, they win - Sun Tzu

Basically the mantra of the entire series. Punching a commienigger or a neonazi in the face and letting him slowly succumb to asphyxiation and radiation poisoning is fine. But slitting his throat or kneecapping him is a big no-no and you get the canonical bad ending if you keep doing that. Like a louder version of MGS with worse sneeki breeki mechanics to work with.

I detest crossed because every cover is of the crossed pope and the crossed president shaking hands as the skins of a thousand flayed people are arrayed over christ the redeemer.
But if you read it it's always just the same shitty zombie survivor stories where they get fucked by bad choices and personalities. Literally zombie story 101, "oh no the dickhead opened the gate to the barn cause he's a dickhead and now we're all getting killed"

How do you downgrade so hard from your own cover art?

Oh so like Dishonored? I played the first Metro and I remember as long as you didn't act like a total clown and didn't nuke the dark ones it was okay

You might like Requiem Vampire Chevalier
It's as awesome as the cover art

Requiem Vampire Chevalier

The artist for it worked on Heroes of Might and Magic V

Huh, didn't know that. Thanks!

Pretty much it's a point based moral system that ticks up across the game. It isn't limited to just killing either because it will penalize you for doing things in a certain way. Last Light was really bad for it because you can lose out on them by not listening to music sequences in the stations, exploring every single cache and corpse or trying to shoot ghosts that spook you in the tunnels. You only realize after that you fucked up because you get hit with that audio stinger.
