As I and many of my readers have established, the Irate Gamer Game on iOS is complete garbage. Beyond broken controls, minimal variety, unexplained mechanics that backfire, failures in basic game design, pointless ladders, the list goes on.
Of course, none of us would actually pay for it, and why would we? We know from the Lite version that it's crap, and only someone truly brave would pay for it to review the whole thing.
Thankfully, someone was brave. Thanks to a fan that wishes to be called Uatu, we now have images of all the enemies and comic book cutscenes. Uatu, you are awesome, and have the patience of a saint (or should I say Watcher?)
First, here are the enemies and bosses besides the standard HAL Bot.
Here we have a giant HAL Bot. It may or may not be the same giant HAL Bot from the Power Rangers review. It probably isn't.
Here's a stronger HAL Bot, because it's purple. The creativity just oozes off the screen.
Here's the Evil Gamer, looking just as crappy as his "good" counterpart.
Here's R.O.B, even though I thought he was supposed to be a good guy now. Though this is likely a different R.O.B. (see cutscenes below).
Hard to tell, but this is the Shadow Overlord. That's a great design, a completely black picture.
Now, here are all the game's comic book cutscenes.
Here's the opening and the game's story. For someone that complains about flimsy stories all the time, this is pretty bad.
The intro to Level 11 with Evil Gamer and Shadow Overlord. We see EG is a coward, and Shadow Bores laughs at his own jokes (just like real Bores). "Snow him down" isn't even a good pun.
The intro to Level 21. I'm guessing this relates to a new power-up you get here. Also, a pointless Final Fight reference.
The intro to Level 31, where Chris tries stealth but then forgets about it. We also see a new R.O.B (see enemy screen above) and this one can talk. Apparently, he speaks in Portal quotes. I'm guessing Mad Media Labs added this because I doubt Bores has ever played Portal or Portal 2. If he did, it would look a lot like iJustine's LP.
The intro to Level 41. Oh, there's Ronnie. Urgh. We also have a pointless Sixth Sense reference, a pointless Super Mario Bros. reference and a pointless Mortal Kombat reference. Oh, you think this is bad? Hahahahaha.
The intro to Level 51, and we've reached critical mass on references, Duke Nukem levels even. Hell, one of them is the Duke Nukem line that 3D Realms took from They Live. Along with pointless references to The Shining and Dirty Harry (not even Clint Eastwood could make a Zapper sound threatening, unless he plans to beat someone's brains in with it).
Also, Shadow Bores only has his NES. Bores could easily do reviews of other consoles. Oh wait, that would make too much sense.
EDIT: I also wanted to add that this picture seems to confirm that Shadow Overlord doesn't have a true form. He's literally just a shadow. So lame... and unoriginal. There's so many villains out there that are just shadows. Like DC's Shadow Thief, or SCP-280.
The intro to Level 52. Is that a Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time reference? For those that haven't played the game (and if you haven't, go out and play it, it's awesome!), the story is told through the Prince regaling it to female lead Farah. All your actions are being described by him to the princess (you don't hear it, but it's implied that every wall jump and sword slash is part of the story). If you died, he would say "Wait no, that's not how it happened" or something along those lines. I'm guessing that this is another Mad Media Labs addition since he made it clear he never played The Sands of Time.
EDIT: Fixed the Sands of Time story bits. Thank you to Agarack for correcting me.
The ending. Only things go differently (including a different lame one-liner). Evil Gamer escapes and IG remarks that he did all of this... for his fans. PFFFFT HAHAHAHAHA. When do you ever do anything for your fans? You've always been about money, and this shitty game is no exception. Oh man.
So yeah, game still looks terrible. Only now we can confirm there's barely any enemies and the entire story is lame.
Once again, I would like to thank Uatu for willing to part with his money and managing to play through so he can inform us all of what it's in store for people that want to pay for the full version.
By the way, I don't think Bores is going to see much revenue from this. Apple takes 30% of the cut on every iOS games, and Mad Media Labs probably takes a big cut. Considering how few people are actually going to pay for this, Bores is probably going to see pennies.
3 years of development. Hahahaha.
