The online is so garbage... I cant play at all with people

cool breeze · « **Reply #121 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.

How could they possibly fuck up online, 3 years into 360's life and with that being the purpose of the damn game.

If my gf likes the demo I'll get it, otherwise fuck this.

Told you guys the game was boring.

No it's actually fun when we got a decent game going. Maybe you're just gay and like men and weiners

y2kev · « **Reply #126 on:** August 28, 2008, 01:16:06 AM »

I think the enemies have waaaay too much HP. Slows down the pace of the game. Seems exactly like Alien Hominid, but CC is balanced more for 2+ players. Which is fine. I dunno if I'm gonna buy right now. I have a lot of other stuff to play.

Mrbob · « **Reply #127 on:** August 28, 2008, 01:29:39 AM »

Bought it. Glad I officially paid less than 12 bucks for this title thanks to target sale. I played two player co op online just fine but with 3 or 4 total clusterfuck.

Summer of xbla goes 1.75/5

This game is pretty long at least. I still havent beaten it. I'm in the Ice Cavern now. I've got a chicken sword.

Mrbob · « **Reply #129 on:** August 28, 2008, 01:38:25 AM »

Yeah the game is fun when it works. Here is hoping the online co op gets patched.

Online portions seem broken, I love the gameplay though, can't wait until I can play more games online without error.

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.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #135 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:22:43 AM »

I like it quite a bit and it's certainly a hell of a lot better (and more forgiving) than Alien Hominid.

I'm done with this game until the online is fixed. 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.

demi · « **Reply #138 on:** August 28, 2008, 04:23:10 PM »

I need

* Win 40 Ranked Arena Matches

* Win 20 Ranked Quaff Matches

* Revive each of your teammates in a 4 player game

You can get Kay Eye Ess Ess and Conjecturable something something (pacifist) with 2 controllers

PM me, I need the online achievements, and I'll be willing to work something out.

Mrbob · « **Reply #140 on:** August 28, 2008, 06:36:22 PM »

Man I hate those Quaff matches.

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.

demi · « **Reply #141 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. I got fucked when I tried Arena and my opponent used Blue Knight right away. I still beat his ass with Level 1 Alien (though for some reason we dealt the same amount of damage to each other)

UnoIllNino · « **Reply #142 on:** August 28, 2008, 07:41:00 PM »

Interesting to see some negative opinions here. I played the demo this morning and have decided to buy the full version. A few of my friends have already been playing co-op and really love it, so having them to play it with just further sells it for me.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #143 on:** August 28, 2008, 08:39:09 PM »

so 3/4 player co-op online is shit, right?

sounds like 3/4 player N+

UnoIllNino · « **Reply #144 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:59:52 AM »

I played co-op with 3 people last night and didn't suffer any problems. In fact, it was a lag-free fucking blast and it made me really happy that I bought the game instead of letting other people make the decision for me.

*looks around*

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #145 on:** August 29, 2008, 01:19:44 PM »

this game is buggy as shit. i tried for an hour to get a online game going in which time my system froze atleast half a dozen times, and the four games i did get to work never lasted more than five minutes before everyone was kicked. it didn't even save the data.

I haven't even reached the difficulty spike yet. Just wait until you get to the last few areas.

demi · « **Reply #155 on:** August 30, 2008, 01:24:12 PM »

I'd say the hardest fight is in the Wizard's Castle - the boss where the flying black thing summons the dead monsters and you have to fight like 3 waves before the actual boss itself.

cool breeze · « **Reply #156 on:** August 30, 2008, 01:31:46 PM »

Yeah, that shit was ridiculous. I eventually just spammed bombs near the big guys and used magic on the little ones.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #158 on:** August 30, 2008, 02:02:48 PM »

This game was like perfectly balanced when I played through with 3 people. A lot of the fights though, I was just sitting there thinking "wow, this would fucking suck alone." I'm going to play through Insane with my orange knight and see.

It took for-ever for them to patch the glitched achievement in Alien Hominid... but this is a much more high-profile title so I expect it will get priority status

They must, because I just spent the day playing through solo without any issues. I've made it to the painter and will probably finish it up tomorrow. Not looking forward to doing the boss you fight on a pile of dead bodies alone.

OK

How much is left after you get the last ship part? I forget where we stopped - I know we beat the guy who hides behind laser beam bars and launches bombs at you, but we got to another boss after that before stopping. Is it more than half over?
