I had put aside 1200 for co-opvania, but Im gonna try Limbo and could well drop 1200 on that. Friggin digital distribution, made impulse buying so much worse :'(

So far it's pretty awesome. It has just as much video game fan service as it does Scott Pilgrim (ignore the fact that Scott Pilgrim has video game references and stuff).

I enjoyed Castle crashers alone too. But I'd imagine it's much better in multiplayer and it would have been nice if it has online. So, yes-ish.

I am trying to think of a way I can take this game to a friends house. I don't know if you can put these games on a usb stick or something.

and yeah, leveling up makes the combat and stuff better. At first it did feel stiff and still does, but it gets better.

only way is to login to your psn account on your friend's ps3 and redownload it. you'd be activating one of five share spots on your psn account though, which you can deactivate later

yep, it's a retro brawler. 8-bit games didn't play like Bayonetta!

This game is pretty decent. The levels do drag on though. The game froze while loading the level too :\
Title: Re: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Post by: Bebpo on August 10, 2010, 10:27:55 PM: Yeah, I was expecting it to be more like a 16-bit brawler aka Streets of Rage or Final Fight.

It's definitely more like Double Dragon :X
Title: Re: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Post by: cool breeze on August 10, 2010, 10:31:01 PM: the biggest problem I have with the game is that some of the stuff you get for leveling up are things you would expect to always be there. There are special moves that get unlocked, but I'm talking about the ability to attack enemies on the ground or do an air recovery. It doesn't take long to lvl up to the max (about at stage 4 or 5), but it is a bit annoying considering each character has their their own stats. It's really meant for multiplayer, so yeah.

Apparently zombie mode helps if you grind in it (enter at title screen: Down, Up, Right, Down, Up, Right, Down, Up, Right, Right, Right).

The closest comparison to this game is River City Ransom

actually, I think I might have done that for Bionic Commando Rearmed. That was a while ago.

Post by: Bebpo on August 10, 2010, 10:34:03 PM: Do you keep your levels when you die? I guess in that case you can grind until you get all the moves.

Do you ever get a throw move? Feels so weird not being able to throw by walking into enemies.

the game basically uses the River City Ransom move set. it's a 1:1 copy of that game. So, you walk up to a downed enemy and hit one of the punch buttons-- then one button uses the enemy as weapon, the other throws him

there's even a Crash N' The Boys poster in the first level!

yeah, when you die you keep experience, levels, and money.

you get a sumo throw and grab pummel attack at one point.

If you don't have Castle Crashers yet you could always get that. It's not pixely like SP but it's got online coop.

Title: Re: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Post by: Wario64 on August 16, 2010, 12:20:41 AM: once you upgrade all your stats in this game, it becomes such a joke, even on the hardest difficulty. the game was okay, it got better as i upgraded stats. there's a trick that requires a 2nd controller to get like $5k worth of cash in minutes and you could upgrade your characters to max on the first level if you dont feel like grinding
Title: Re: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Post by: Sho Nuff on August 17, 2010, 03:26:30 AM: The art design is great but the game is VERY meh. I'm pretty disappointed.

Also, the sound design is an embarrassment. Either my copy is glitched or there are missing SFX all over the place. Like when all the guys pile on you and you have to charge up to escape, there are literally NO sound effects, it's totally silent.

I heard that the game was started in Canada but for some reason they moved production to Ubisoft Shanghai. Ugh
Title: Re: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Post by: cool breeze on August 17, 2010, 11:21:12 AM: The no sound effect thing is messed up, yeah. The weird thing is that dogs make noises, but humans don't. The fact that some enemies make noises while others don't just doesn't make it seem like a decision they made.

how do you do that?
Title: Re: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Post by: Wario64 on August 17, 2010, 12:57:40 PM: get 2 controllers, 1st controller will be the receiving character and 2nd controller is the one lending out the money (important since only progress is saved on 1st controller character apparently)

go to the shopping district and enter a store (the first one you see is the video store with scott's late fees). on 2nd controller, keep pushing circle to lend money to the first character. after you're done, press start and go to return to map to auto save the game, then quit to main menu and repeat.

to speed up the process, use the cheat code that enables you to use the same character for all players (down, r1, up, l1, triangle, circle on title screen). the code will money double for 1 character by using the same character on both controllers. after you're done, pretty much 1 of your characters will be a money bank and you'll be able to use that character to lend money to your other level 1 characters.

after you get a few thousand cash, go to that same video store and pay scott's late fees, then buy the appropriate items to max out your character in like 2 minutes. one item give out 1500 XP and the stat ones give out like +20.

also, fuck the ending credits, unskippable and it's so long that my ps3 controller turns off due to inactivity
