I don't even remember there having been a Blade Runner game.

What platform and year did that happen in, lol?

And like was it even a good game, or just some attempt to suck revenue from gamers by making a shitty port of a beloved movie into something that technically counts as a video game (I'm lookin' at you, "Ghostbusters")?

I believe it's called a "Reverse Uwe Boll" if that's the case.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner_(1997_video_game)

"Blade Runner is a 1997 point-and-click adventure game developed by Westwood Studios and published by Virgin Interactive for Microsoft Windows. The game is not a direct adaptation of the 1982 Ridley Scott film Blade Runner, but is instead a "sidequel", telling an original story, which runs parallel to the film's plot, occasionally intersecting with it."

KEK...

"I've seen bad ports you people wouldn't believe. Batman: Arkham Knight doesn't begin to describe it. I watched Captain Lou Albano square off against Dennis Hopper in costumes and makeup that made them look like third-graders on Halloween, and who the fuck okayed the idea of Goombas being giant reptilian creatures with tiny heads? Like, whatever they were (they look like retarded owls who've been crossbred with mushrooms, honestly), it would be literally - like, literally - the goddamn opposite of that if anything. But all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."

LIKE WHO THE FUCK DOESN'T EVEN BOTHER TO PLAY A FUCKING GAME BEFORE MAKING A FILM ABOUT IT, AND WHO THE FUCK DOESN'T WATCH A MOVIE BEFORE MAKING A GAME ABOUT IT?

But maybe the Blade Runner game was totally great, and we should rediscover it now that the fucking calendar has finally caught up to whatever fucking bullshit date the original writers thought was so far into the future that it would be safe to use as some sort of alienating "this is the future, so like shit's different now and that's the premise of our story; get used to it" trope.

The closing credits of Robotech had the chorus of "We're livin' in the 21st century," after all.

Like, we've been there for almost 20 fucking years, and I don't see any fucking Mechs or interstellar travel.

It sounded like a long fucking time in the future. Turns out that humans are a disappointment to Phillip K. Dick (he wrote the book on which the screenplay was based).

Big surprise. Anyone who's ever read any of his work realizes that he had greater optimism for the human race than anyone who read his work.

Maybe that's why he was great.

Who knows?

"Total Recall" was way too toned-down in terms of existential exploration compared to "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale," though.

But who doesn't like the idea of having three titties, KEK?

You can't tittyfuck with 3 titties! It'd just be awkward. The third titty would undoubtedly get in the way. Not even mentioning motorboating.

I replayed Snatcher for the umpteenth time on June 6th 1996 because game said so. That's good enough.
