Rented it, took it back an hour later to get something else. The video store did not hook me up. 5 for memories.

Rented it, thinking "A fighting game with robot combatants! This might be entertaining."

Returned it, thinking "What a crushing dissapointment."

That was the day I stopped giving almost anything a chance because robots were involved.

I am in the same goddamn boat. This was one of the only rentals where I had the thought "I just got fucked over." I think I initially rented it because, on an advertisement on the back of a gamepro, a robot with nipples was tearing the arm off another nippleless robot.

rise of the robots was the first combat game to use artificial intelligence

"artificial intelligence" was a pretty common buzzword for terrible 8/16-bit games.

Also, YOU MUST DEFEAT THE SUPERVISOR. Do this by filling out your time card with 40 hours even though you were sitting at home the whole week.

"360 degree freedom of motion" I think they tacked on an extra 180 degrees on there

4. Desperate video game company lies like George W. Bush to try and get their steaming piece of shit out the door.

That's the entertaining part of this video.

Almost completely unplayable. I remember the manual contained a list of special moves that were completely impossible to pull off - and I don't mean they were really hard, I mean they simply didn't work.

Hey, they used focus groups! Focus groups never lie!

I think my parents bought this game for me. I did manage to beat it, though I think that's the moment when I learned what dissatisfaction was.

I was at the E3 where they were hyping this garbage.
Nothing in this ad is true. NOTHING.

Clay Fighters came out around the same time. It was better in every way, and it still wasn't all that great.

Just to add insult to injury they released it for every platform imaginable.

I was looking forward to this game for fucking ever at the time. Delay after delay after delay until I finally got to play the demo. I thought it was some kind of cruel joke.

Games are still trying to pull off this "AI" bullshit and never succeeding.

Sluggish controls?

Check.

Eroticus E - 2009-01-24

Sluggish is a horrible understatement. I remember playing this game at my friend's house when I was 12. The graphics were pretty impressive for the time, but the actual game was nearly unplayable.

That being said, the backgrounds were designed by an actual architect.

Hay guys, Street Fighter II and Terminator 2 are pretty popular, let's rip them both off and slap it together in a giant shit sandwich!
