That looks incredibly fun. Can't wait!

I love the fact that they are encouraging sequence breaking.

Looks great.

I just wish you started as a robot instead of a douchey half tuck fauxhawk.

Hey! It's a step up from your standard bald space marine. Game looks great, hopefully it leads to the creation of more awesome 2D side-scrollers.

Yeti · « **Reply #8 on:** August 08, 2009, 02:00:13 PM »

This game looks phenomenal, good enough to be a disc based release.

Herr Mafflard · « **Reply #9 on:** August 08, 2009, 08:55:23 PM »

Did someone say Flashback?

Upon seeing that mecha-spider, methinks this game will have awesome boss fights. Sort of a bit like Zelda where you find a certain item in an area and use it to exploit thar weaknesses.

Me want to shoot rockets up their mecha asses.

dammitmattt · « **Reply #10 on:** August 08, 2009, 10:34:39 PM »

So very good. I'd pay $30. It's a steal at $15. Hopefully the achievements will be fun to go after and encourage replayability. I love the Gears 2-style achievement trackers. EVERY game should have that feature.

demi · « **Reply #11 on:** August 08, 2009, 10:35:22 PM »

Feel free to support Chair by buying two other AAA+ games - Undertow and Advent Rising

And allow me to say - I told ya so

dammitmattt · « **Reply #12 on:** August 08, 2009, 10:37:36 PM »

I got Undertow for free and just never really got into it. Is it actually any good? Is Advent Rising BC?

Oh, and I kinda did buy two copies. I bought my friend a 1600 point card for helping move some stuff for an hour and it's going towards Shadow Complex

I just looked at the achievements and I'm looking forward to doing the "complete the game with less than 13% of the items" one, which I assume means that you can only pick up the main abilities that are needed to complete the game. It's too bad that downloadable games can only have 12 achievements. This is the kind of game that screams for more.

demi · « **Reply #13 on:** August 08, 2009, 10:43:47 PM »

Arcade games can be bumped up to 250 - 15

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #14 on:** August 09, 2009, 02:39:12 AM »

definitely day 1, but fuck I'm so sick of the guy who does the main characters voice.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #15 on:** August 09, 2009, 03:11:59 AM »

Undertow is pretty solid, co-op is good fun. I've got 2 achievements left on it (Ultra mode and 10000 kills) so might go back for those eventually

And yeah I'll be on Shadow Complex day 1. Looks awesome! I love Metriodvanias

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #23 on:** August 10, 2009, 06:24:10 PM »

lets see...so I've got MvC2, Trials is sounding hot, so is this. but I don't really like the demo of Splosion Man that much, but if I buy that, I'll get TMNT for free. I hear TMNT isn't really worth free though.

Herr Mafflard · « **Reply #24 on:** August 10, 2009, 08:48:47 PM »

Haha Turtles in Time is rubbish. Literally played for about an hour, so mind numbingly boring, even though it's short. Didn't even want the achievements.

I now think the initial 1200 price point was a clever marketing ploy by Ubisoft. The game was never intended to sell at 1200, but they knew that if they made it seem like they were being generous and giving for 800, nostalgia nerds will go bananas and flock to it like flies flock to shit.

Bildi · « **Reply #25 on:** August 10, 2009, 09:22:12 PM »

The name of this game sounds so boring I didn't even look in this thread until now. But the game looks AMAZING.

I almost skipped over it too until I noticed that demi started the topic, and every demi topic is a must read.

9.4 from IGN. Can't wait!!

Shitty a.i. and poor targeting. Got it.

bork · « **Reply #29 on:** August 18, 2009, 02:56:02 AM »

I bet Shadow Complex turns out 10 times better than MAG.

Bildi · « **Reply #30 on:** August 18, 2009, 02:58:33 AM »

ANOTHER good game? I just bought Trials HD and Overlord II and Batman is coming. $:-\$

Can't resist this though.

I already bought the point card for this game, one not on sale. I don't care about getting the game for free, I just wanted it early.

They were reviewers. At least some of them were.

I know, but some got free codes given away.

the 1up review knocks it because the reviewer thought it was a shameless knock-off, so, yes. that's a positive for me.

How can this be a negative ?!? smh @ 1up

b/c super metroid at least had interesting locales and art style. i see epic's ugly space marine paw prints all over this. still wanna play the shit out of this game, though.

Still buying this though.

wrong stereotype. this is "everyman bro guy voiced by nathan drake with half tuck that you wouldn't mind having a beer with at the local Champ's with your other bros."

but w/e, I will play anything metroidvania and love it!

edit: fuck me, you collect pieces for a space marine suit throughout the game. I stand corrected!

There isn't an achievement for completing it on Insane, is there?

Does playing on Insane make you level up faster?

demi · « **Reply #55 on:** August 19, 2009, 09:06:22 AM »

You get mega XP increase on Insane. If you think it's too hard you can change the difficulty on the fly. I'm just enjoying the game the first time (on Insane), I'll do the hard stuff later. There are also achievements that don't give you gamerscore... probably gamer pics.

I cannot give you a big enough heart. I was just trying for the past 10 minutes to download the game but I kept getting a service error. I log into Evilbore and there's a solution!

Demi

Fuuuuuuuuck, now to wait for the 800+ mb download to finish.

I woke up at 3am and I stayed up just to get this. I was fucking PISSED I couldn't buy it. I knew you would have the same trouble so I stayed up hoping a quickie solution was available and I came across that. I got your back boo. :wub
