Baley Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 As I said in the Jade Empire thread,does anyone know if Interplay held on to the licence? I enjoyed both games and a new one would interest me to say the least. There are a couple of studios that could do the setting justice: Planet Moon(formed by the team that created the original MDK),Bioware,Croteam to name a few.
Child of Flame Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 MDK 2 was totally b!tchin'. MDK was a good spot of mostly mindless fun. I have both.
Volourn Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Both games sucked. I cna't believe MDK2 sold a million copies! Lots of dumb customers! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Child of Flame Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Yes, yes, because any game you haven't played sucked.
Volourn Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 YES! Someone FINALLY understands that truism! You are my NEW favorite internet dweeb! :D DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Child of Flame Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 I don't know whether to feel a glimmer of joy, or be revolted.
Deraldin Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 I don't know whether to feel a glimmer of joy, or be revolted. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think the answer is pretty obvious... What is MDK anyway? :">
Child of Flame Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 MDK MDK2 Great games, should be able to get them on the cheap now.
metadigital Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 What the fsck does MDK stand for? Looks like a standard platform game, like Crash Bandicoot. F.E.A.R. looks better: OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
alanschu Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Of course FEAR looks better. It came out years later. MDK 2 (I never played the first one) is like 3 games mixed in one. When you play as kurt, you'll do crazy jumping, stealthy sniping and float around with you "parachute." When you play as Max, the six-legged dog that can hold Uzis and even miniguns in 4 of his hands (he needs to for running), the game is an all out action fest of killing hordes of badguys. When you play as the Doctor, the game is a puzzle game. You mix and match components that you find to build things to overcome the puzzles in the game. All three game types are very well done, and the game is littered with goofy, as well as dark humour. The game is just flat out funny, and a blast to play.
metadigital Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Okay. But what does MDK stand for? I can't get excited about a game when I don't know its real name (personal limitation). OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
metadigital Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Ah. Okay. Now I likes it. (See wasn't that simple?) OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Sarjahurmaaja. Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 "MDK = Murder Death Kill" Noes. While the actual meaning of the title's TLA is not revealed within the game, the gaming press and fans adopted Murder, Death, Kill (used to designate homicides) as the official title, going with the game's tagline In a good day, only 2.5 billion people will die. In interviews, Shiny employees gave each one their own version - My Dog Ken, Max, Dr. Hawkins and Kurt, Million Dollar KO, Massive Dollops of Ketchup, Mother's Day Kisses and My Diary something beginning with K. Yet another possibility is documented inside the game manual, where Kurt's mission is named Mission: Deliver Kindness. 9/30 -- NEVER FORGET!
metadigital Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 OH NOES!11!!evelen!?! Must Decide Kleverness! OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
EnderAndrew Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Given that the devs won't say, but the press and fans all say the title is Murder Death Kill, then I think it is fair to say it is Murder Death Kill, especially since it fits the official tagline to the game. The ones supplied in the Wikipedia quote are obviously jokes.
Sarjahurmaaja. Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 "Given that the devs won't say, but the press and fans all say the title is Murder Death Kill, then I think it is fair to say it is Murder Death Kill, especially since it fits the official tagline to the game." No, it is not. I also see that you did not read the Wikipedia article. Interesting... 9/30 -- NEVER FORGET!
EnderAndrew Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 I mentioned the Wikipedia article and you carefully cut that out when quoting me. Tsk, tsk.
Sarjahurmaaja. Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Oh, I don't doubt you read the quote. I am, in fact, certain that you did. 9/30 -- NEVER FORGET!
EnderAndrew Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 I have read the entire article, and the quoted portion is the only portion that has relevance to the title of the game. Let's examine that tagline again. "In a good day, only 2.5 billion people will die" Now, of all the suggestions from the devs, do any of them fit a first-person shooter about tons of people dying in an alien invasion? No, not even remotely. Your inability to sense sarcasm concerns me. You're arguing for the sake of arguing.
Sarjahurmaaja. Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 "I have read the entire article, and the quoted portion is the only portion that has relevance to the title of the game." Perhaps you missed the part where it was mentioned that MDK was actually the game's codename. "Now, of all the suggestions from the devs, do any of them fit a first-person shooter about tons of people dying in an alien invasion? No, not even remotely." No. But then again, "Murder, Death, Kill" is not at all fitting title for the game, either. "Your inability to sense sarcasm concerns me." Your blatant stupidity disgusts me. It is quite clear that the title isn't an acronym of anything. "You're arguing for the sake of arguing." And why are you arguing? 9/30 -- NEVER FORGET!
metadigital Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 "I have read the entire article, and the quoted portion is the only portion that has relevance to the title of the game." Perhaps you missed the part where it was mentioned that MDK was actually the game's codename. ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...MDK...It is revealed in the "Making of MDK" booklet that came with the "Limited Edition" of the game that the term was actually the game's codename, when Shiny came around to coming up with a name for the game, they chose to stick with the codename. However, there is no information available as to why "MDK" was chosen in the first place. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
EnderAndrew Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 I read that. So it was both the final title and the working title. Go back to Wikipedia and search for MDK and tell me what comes up. Does Murder/Death/Kill come up? Maybe that's because MDK stands for Murder/Death/Kill.
Sarjahurmaaja. Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 Yet the title of the game MDK does not stand for Murder/Death/Kill. 9/30 -- NEVER FORGET!
