So I got this new game called Narc. It was described to me as "GTA with drugs" by my friends. So I get it thinking "this will be laughable!" and i start playing.
I must say, I have never been more disgusted at a game in my life. This game promotes drug use too far. Any kid that plays this will think they can go out and pop some speed and instantly start running fast or some other retarded crap. IMO there is a line in content that needs to be in a game and I think this one has crossed the line. I for one have returned it and am not playing it. (Kinda sad hearing that from a drug user eh? )
So that's what that game is about? Rats, I was hoping for an update of NARC for the NES. Y'know, the one where you play the role of anti-drug cops, bust drug dealers (or blow them into pieces with a rocket launcher), and fight unkillable, knife-wielding killer clowns named Kinky Pinky. Oh, and you kill flamethrower toting extremist hippies too.
What a stupid but great game that was. From what you say though, I doubt I'd be able to say the same for its similiar-named nextgen sibling.
yeah that's what i expected too....until I got to the third mission.
Investigate a group of cops...I follow them and then out of nowhere I'm forced to smoke some weed. I had already done that once in the game and it's actually annoying...makes this stupid disco effect on the sides of the screen and plays some shitty jam rock in the background. ANYWAYS, I just stood there so EVENTUALLY they were like "whatever" and they gave me 7 more bags and told me to sell it to people and get $1000 to go do a deal. So, I busted a shit ton of dealers instead because they had money on them and it was actually quicker. So I had almost the maximum of every drug, tried them out...there's an addiction system where if you don't feed the meter and it fills up you go through withdrawl where you have to keep the meter within the green or you black out...whatever...
You can turn the drugs in you bust people with to the police to increase your rating, but the maximum is 100 and I reached that in about 5 minutes since they start you with 75 and each drug dealer is 4-6 rep points. So, that makes actually turning in contraband stupid so it'd be smarter to sell the drugs because you can buy a medication that clears off *all* addictions...what the fuck.
So I have this $1000 and go back to the crooked cops and they tell me I'm going along with the chief to get the "shit" and so we go down an alley, surprise, he's shot to death by 8 gangsters. So I have to kill all these gangsters, steal the drugs off the crooked cop and then kill more gangsters until they stop coming. Mission Complete, I turn THOSE drugs into the police. So here I am with 10 hits of acid, 10 "sacks" of bud, 10 vials of crack, 10 hits of speed, 10 hits of ecstacy, and 10 "blue pills" (haven't figured them out...i think ketamine). This is the maximum you can carry and I only have $400. What the fuck.
I think it's sick that this game forces the user to use drugs. Yeah they're great and all but this is a highly NEGATIVE approach to it. This is about the level of timothy leary in terms of brilliance.
I had considered checking the game out since it was only $20, but then I decided to spend that $20 on Phantom Dust instead. It sounds like I made the right choice...
That site you linked to wrote:Some street names for ketamine are: K, Ket, Special K, Vitamin K, Vit K, Kit Kat, Keller, Kelly's day, Green, Blind squid, Cat valium, Purple, Special la coke, Super acid, and Super C. Slang for experiences related to ketamine or effects of ketamine include, "k-hole," "K-land," "baby food," and "God."
In actuallity, from the way it sounds, NARC is based off a game that was made back in the late 80's/early 90's. They had criminals that attacked you with guns and hypodermic needles and stuff. I guess they were trying to promote the "Winners don't use drugs" campaign.
If it's based off what I think, this might be worth checking out.....if I can get passed the fact that even back then, the game was godawful.......
