Beyond Good & Evil Demo. The idea of a game built around photography appeals to me enormously, but the combat is just utter shit of the highest order.

Worse than Sands of Time?

Crashpunk · #**392** 10-16-2010, 02:19 PM

Still playing through Zelda: twilight Princess. Its not as a long game as i remember it. I've already finished Temple of Time.

Not to harp on this, but you really should try to find the secret stars. Most of them are about 100 times harder to get than the hardest puzzle. Also, the easiest star takes about an hour to get to.

I haven't seen anything about them, yet. Can you not get them until after you collect all the puzzle pieces?

Wings of Fire · #**394** 10-16-2010, 02:25 PM

You plain can't get one if you solve one puzzle.

Not worse than Sands of Time, because whilst the combat is annoying, it's not really all that difficult. Also, it's only every now and then; most of the game is stealth-based rather than combat.

I really need to beat that, I never finished the first temple. I liked the Wind Waker better, hell I like the Wind Waker better than everything.

Just finished Psychonauts for the third time.

Meat Circus? Shmeat Shmircus!

@Hazel-Rah - You should play wind waker, en mi opinion, it's the best of the LoZ games, certainly of it's time.

I've been playing fucking lots of Project Scarlet.

It's a really difficult 2D shooter/platformer made in Game Maker. Despite this, it's brilliant.

The game gives you 8 elements to choose from each time you start the game. Elements can be changed at the mission gates, too. Each element has funcky abilities that can work really well in conjunction with other elements abilities (shadow's ninja star and water's barrier skill, for example).

There's a 180 level main mission with randomly generated stages and really hard (really, really hard) bosses every 20 levels. After you beat Scarlet in stage 180 you unlock boss rush, which sees you fighting all of the bosses then Scarlet, which requires a group of ~5 (at one of those players has to be really good).

There are also elemental trial missions. These have 9 stages and then pit you against that element's boss.

There's competetive and cooperative online multiplayer, too.

It's still in beta and there's a lot more to be added, which I really look forward to.

Tried the Comic Jumper demo. It was fucking awful, yes it was funny, but the gameplay sucked large amounts of arse.

I haven't tried it yet, but Captain Smiley has a fucking annoying voice.

I think Twilight Princess, Ocarina and Majora's Mask were better.

Try two hours and thank fuck for the rewind 'cause I left the house for quite some time and the cloud fucked off, leaving me to scratch my arse trying to get it back.

That's what I've heard. Either you love the comedy and stick through the punishing, shitty game, or you don't like it and it's worthless.

The game is not bad by any stretch of the imagination. It's hard, yes. But it's not bad. If you don't like Contra or Gunstar Heroes type games then you probably won't like this, that's true. But once you figure the game out it gets a lot easier. I've been playing it a lot lately while skipping all the dialogue trying to get my score higher (I'm ranked 2 on the hardest level in the game), and I'm having more fun with it now than when I first started.

They are very, very, very, very secret. Like, insanely well hidden. So well hidden that through the normal course of playing the game there will be absolutely nothing to even hint that they exist. But they do. The hardest one is fucking insane, and probably the hardest thing that I've ever done in a video game.

Dynamithix · #**407** 10-19-2010, 04:54 AM

I tested the Comic Jumper demo a while ago, and I thought it was boring. It's challenging, I like that, but maybe a little too hard. The voice-acting gives me a fucking headache, the music is pretty good though. That Brad's theme was great. The humor is decent and that star thing is pretty funny. But overall, I definitely wouldn't pay 1200 MS points for it. Maybe 400, and only for the cheevos.

OANST · #**408** 10-19-2010, 06:46 AM

If I can complete entire levels without ever even taking damage then it isn't too hard. The game is worth the 1200 points. It's one of the best Live Arcade games that you can buy. Also, it has this:

Anyway, I bought Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and I'm glad that I decided on that over Castlevania. In some ways it reminds me of the first Jak and Daxter game, but it's also a lot more than that. The subtlety in the voice work and facial expressions is amazing, and the story was actually pretty damn compelling. I recommend it.

Dynamithix · #**409** 10-20-2010, 05:05 AM

I just got Red Dead Redemption and I'm about to play it right now, but the first fucking thing I noticed was that the mailman decided to screw up. For the fourth time. Oh wait, fourteenth time.

And by that I mean the case is completely cracked in the upper corner and this has been happening to eeeevery fucking album, movie or a game. That fucking mailman is a fucktard, he has broken so many fucking things that once I even opened the door and took the package from him because I knew he would've just shoved it right through without even caring what's inside. I said that he needs to be more careful with the packages and he replied "It's not my fault." NNNGGGGHHHH, FUCKTARD.

Well, this was my rant about Finnish mail services. The game seems very very good tho'.

OANST · #**410** 10-20-2010, 06:58 AM

Costume Quest and Super Meat Boy both come out today. I expect these to keep me busy for quite a long time. Super Meat Boy will probably occupy me for much longer than Costume Quest, though. I imagine that Super Meat Boy is going to earn my rage-love, much as N+ did. If only it had a level editor.

Mr. Bungle · #**411** 10-20-2010, 11:22 AM

I just played the demo for Limbo.

Holy shit, is that some freaky-ass shit. Gonna get the full version ASAP.

OANST · #**412** 10-20-2010, 11:25 AM

You need to send me a friend request.

My Gamertag is shoopdawoop93(terrible username), feel free to add it. I'm not on that often, even if it says I am (I use my xbox as a CD player). I don't have live gold.

Oh, well that's pointless then. My gamertag is OANST, if you're ever feeling lonely.

I just like the pirate theme of Wind Waker better, exploring dat ocean never gets old, I could live in that game.

I beat Ocarina a few times, one of the most satisfying experiences of my life, and I have the other two you mentioned but never really played them.

OANST · #**416** 10-20-2010, 01:54 PM

Wind Waker is by far my favorite Zelda game. You have no idea how much time I spent decorating the islands with those objects the vendors sell.

Mac Sirloin · #**417** 10-20-2010, 02:03 PM

Wind Waker was boss. I would play it a bajillion times over any other Zelda game (though secretly I fucking love Minish cap because I could beat it in like three hours when I was thirteen.)

Anyway I'm playing Plants vs. Zombies, just finished adventure mode. Now I must buy all of the plants from Crazy Dave

OANST · #**418** 10-20-2010, 02:07 PM

Partly, I think I love Wind Waker so much because I got to devote so much time to it. I had just had surgery when I bought it, and couldn't work for a couple of weeks. I literally did nothing but play Wind Waker for about a week straight.

Mr. Bungle · #**419** 10-20-2010, 02:12 PM

Majora's Mask is my favorite Zelda game. I love all the others as well (bar Twilight Princess), but something about Majora's has always stuck with me.

OANST · #**420** 10-20-2010, 02:18 PM

So, are you bitches going to buy Costume Quest, or what?
