Hendo Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Aye it's good fun. Took me ages to get my head round the controls, it ends up like a Diablo kind of game but you battle enemies using Street Fighter moves on the right stick. I've still got a Steam gift for it for anyone that wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 The end of this is pure dogshit and the people responsible for the decision made in the final levels ought to take a really hard look at themselves and decide whether they like living life being utter fucking cuntholes.

Sly Reflex Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm looking at yt videos and pretty much every single one says that the final levels are shite. Also, these people using kbam are banging out 4 and 5 times the amount of spells we can on the pad. Absolute shit. EDIT: Look at that fucking bullshit! Look at it and thank your lucky stars you never have to fucking do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Started a guy with kbam controls, the difference is astonishing. Those parties of mobs we danced around earlier on in the game? Just bombard them to death before they can even hit you once. The only damage I'm taking is from my own AoE splash damage. Whoever came up with the pad controls for this game needs fucking castrating. The spells should have been on face buttons with LT alternating between the 2 sets of 4. That way you can dial them in and have both sticks free for movement, RT to shoot, LB to use on self and RB to AoE. That way pad users have some sort of speed when inputting spells, instead of fucking around with the right stick while even simple mobs gouge stools of shit from your gaping anus like their scooping Ben & Jerry's for a marathon session of watching Lord of the Rings on Bluray. It's seriously the worst pad integration I've ever seen in a game. I've controlled games better with X-padder that don't have specific pad controls before this.

RoboticMonk3y Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I played with my daughter, and she's not quite managed to get the hang of keys and mouse at the same time, so pad is idea for her. I agree completely though, that it would have made a ton more sense to use the face buttons with a bumper to modify between spells. There are some "bonus" characters that kinda break the game as well, walking around in near invincible armour wielding an ak-47 meant I often didn't even have to use spell except for spamming out healing to save other people...

Sly Reflex Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 We're nearing the part that started being unfun as a kbam player. It's been like a different game playing on kbam, parts where we spent loads of time kiting and chipping away mobs has now being replaced by slinging death to minor mobs and death by freezing on larger stuff. I'll have the 99 problems achievement soon too. I think I get it when i've heard Hendo complain about being useless with kbam in about 20 more complaints.

Sly Reflex Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 DONE! I seriously hate the end of this game, Everything on from the moment they introduce Yeti's is horrific. This banana sticker is a monument to Hendo finishing a PC game with a keyboard and mouse when he could have been a lazy sod and played with a pad. Well done, H! I hope the next game's not as stressful as this. I think if my blood pressure gets any higher I'm going to detach my retinas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Give me one key to hammer and I'm fine, anything other than that and imagine the monkey on a computer pictures that I'm too lazy to find and link to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 I've drawn the next game. It's Super Meat Boy. FML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 I'm actually part way through it, world 4 maybe? I got up to a world where there's these orbs that repel you when you go near them. If I don't manage to finish it, then that's OK. I can't say I didn't try.

Jimboxy Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I've been playing quite a lot of super meat boy over the last week or so. Think I'm on world 4 as well. It's good, but I can only play it in small sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Started where I left off. Initial thoughts were "I should have never have stopped playing this until it was done, because now I'm out of practice". Astonishingly I managed to do what I had left to do in that world and beat the boss relatively painlessly, it's a testament to how well the game controls when you can get a gist of what's going on so quickly. I'm now up top what the game has dubbed The End. I assume this is the end of the normal game without any of the secrets and dark worlds. I'm not bothered about doing those though, the main game is difficult enough. Just a few more levels out of this world then I can do the boss, wrap this mother up and never play it again, safe in the knowledge tha whenever it comes up in conversation I can say I finished it even though I was proper winging my way through it. A bit like those guys that exploit the fuck out of Dark Souls and then brag they finished that. Thank fuck dark Souls isn't on the list, because I'd be one of those guys.

Sly Reflex Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 The level named Omega. No matter what I do I just can't get over the overhanging sawblade right before the end. I spent an hour trying to beat that level and unless I have a massive stroke of luck I cannot see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 I went back to it and did it in about 5 goes! I actually managed to get over the blade and then died because I shocked myself! Just the boss to do now. I can't be arsed doing it tonight, it looks like there's a lot to learn, it's one of those levels that auto scrolls so you can't take your time and learn what can be done under your own duress. Despite having 29 people who own this game there's only 3 people that have managed to finish it on my steam. That's a pretty shocking ratio.

spatular Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I've finished it on xbox. So there. Well finished it to the extent that I think I did the level you're on, and no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 I become the 4th person to beat the game on steam out of my friends. It's no wonder people give up, this game is fucking hard. Took me about 50% of the games running time to beat the last 2 levels... I'm really fucking glad it's over. I know for some people SMB is easy, but it's really pushing what I'm capable of skill wise. I fully respect any fucker that's completed this, it's no mean feat.

Sly Reflex Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Cave Story+ next. I've played about the first 30 minutes of it before, although I don't remember much about it. I fought a TV and went to a graveyard, beyond that I can't remember a thing. Hopefully it plays as nice as the other indie darling I just finished. I also hope it plays a bit less rough, I feel pretty beat up after the last few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 I can't say I'm being won over by Cave Story+. It feels very ameatuer in comparison to some indie games I've played. The music on the intro is great, I sat on the menu for about 5 minutes listening to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 I need to move a rock or activate a teleport to continue. I'm not really sure where I'm meant to be going now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
