Beat the abandoned mine without hitting any objects with your mount for an achievement. I haven't done it yet, but it's not that hard.

I also found a dragon, whatever the hell that does... it just sits there. At least the owl got me some food from trees

Title: Re: Castle Crashers Soon
Post by: Enl on August 27, 2008, 05:59:50 AM: Arena is kinda fun. It's nowhere near the level of craziness that Guardian Heroes VS is but it's enjoyable in it's own ways. Turns out my grey knight sucks for VS. Got my ass kicked by

spoiler (click to show/hide)
The Alien Hominid thing
[close]

The Quick Draw match was lame at first, but I didn't realize until halfway through that the more flaming arrows you collect the faster your character becomes. Once the characters are running around like a bunch of sped up crackheads then it gets a little fun. Nobody seems to be touching the Quaffing multi though.

Demi: Yeah and if you quit the game and come back the levels reset right down to the events so you have to clear the keep again to the shop to buy shit then you can just exit out again lol
Title: Re: Castle Crashers Soon
Post by: MrAngryFace on August 27, 2008, 06:04:35 AM: I think castle crashers is a much more FUN experience than alien hom, but its a bit too forgiving for lots of single player replayability so over time its worth will be proven, by a, hopefully working, multiplayer experience

Apparently it works for some people but it's still really finicky

I'm so miffed... wanted to play this with Robby so bad
Title: Re: Castle Crashers Soon

Title: Re: Castle Crashers Soon
Post by: MrAngryFace on August 27, 2008, 06:32:37 AM: the wagon boss is crazy easy. If you get him to stay in the corner you can just float combo him to death. The only boss that was kind of hard for me tonight was the catfish, but once I figured out you could make it ram the boat it was easy

Unplug your 360 wireless adapter and leave it that way for a few, then plug it back in. Mine has done that before

I bought Braid despite the bitching and I'm not sure I should have. Some bits are really nifty but :-\ Is there incentive aside from achievements and OCD to collect the puzzle pieces? Some seem soooo hard to get.

Yeah, that didn't work either.

Typical. Anytime there's something that I want to play on my 360 I have problems. I guess I'll have to manually enter the IP and DNS addresses when I get home from work tonight. I still don't understand how anything could've possibly changed since last night.

Post by: MrAngryFace on August 27, 2008, 01:51:22 PM: Its a pretty great game imo, and while its easy on the standard mode, I can IMAGINE how hard it CAN get, cause some of the arena levels get pretty nuts with the FUCK BAJILLION ARROWS AND GUYZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Post by: cool breeze on August 27, 2008, 09:54:21 PM: I'm at level 26 or 27. Leveling up has gotten really slow, and I even have the giraffe equipped. I really wish I didn't power up the strength right away.

And it is a lot better than Alien Homnid, but it has a lot of problems. Enemies just pour down cheap attacks like bombs/arrow/magic that knock you back, which is just annoying, a lot of the time you can't actually see something because the great 2D graphics are blocking your way, and everything feels too flat; by flat I mean that what should make sense doesn't, if only because the sprites aren't lined up.

This game is also another game that would be fun to play while listening to music or a podcast. Just have to find a good area to grind up some levels.

Truth. (although Braid isn't exactly 'fun', but it is still enjoyable...if that made any sense)

And enemies are HP machines. Even at max strength with a +5 damage weapon, it still takes way too much time to beat them down.

Grinding is incredibly boring alone, and after finishing the main story, I don't really want to go back and play some more. Bionic Commando Rearmed is still the best downloadable game this summer, but this game is still fun. Some aspects are really bad, and it kind of shows that the guys who made this game came from making flash games.

I tried one out today and had flashbacks of track and field mashing on buttons. I hate this gameplay type, won't be doing that again.

I have a couple more hours into the game now. Some online, some local co op and am having a really good time. I think I will have to up the summer of XBLA to 2/5 now. I'm using the green guy at the moment, but is there really any point to leveling up different characters? It is nice to see there is some depth to the leveling system, but it seems to be pretty generic overall. I'm not sure if I will still be playing this game two weeks from now, but I do feel I am getting my moneys worth.
Title: Re: Castle Crashers Soon
Post by: demi on August 28, 2008, 07:03:12 PM: If someone chooses the character you do, you cant use it... so it's safe to have a backup.

Something is definitely up with the saving, I wonder if it's actually a glitch or just a misunderstanding like the N+ save issues. I just got the achievement for flawlessly riding the deer, turned the game off, and when I came back it acts like that level hasn't even been completed.

edit - I'm wrong, he just starts off with an axe that gives criticals. I assume that's what that cracked skull is in the blacksmith's shop.

I built my dude as a tank, I need speed and majick :(

You need maxed up Magic to get the last Animal. Then again, once you get the giraffe, you could just start a new character and level him up using it.

I don't know if it works, but at least in local multi it saved everything I did. I just got all the animals, I'm up to the Ice Castle. Gonna try to beat it tonight solo, don't know if I have the time.

Wow, this necromancer final boss is like playing Lost Planet blindfolded. Fuck this shit.

oh nm, you don't have to beat all of them at once.

Post by: The Sceneman on September 16, 2008, 05:51:29 AM: oddly though all online co-op play has been super smooth. Played with Polari who lives a couple of suburbs away and Viz who lives in Alaska (iirc) and had totally zero lag
