Downloaded Binary Domain off of Steam last night, will fire it up tonight and see if it was worth the hype.

Has anybody used www.jjpgames.com for ordering a game before? I've ordered a copy of the first Professor Layton from them, and in waiting for it I'm a little worried that they just sell bootleg bullshit. I'll find out soon anyways, but the anticipation is killing me.

This site looks shady as fuck. Why wouldn't you just order it off eBay or something?

Wait for Xseed to translate, nub. Those games have never been localized. They just recently localized Origins and 3 and Felghana got it first because they had already done Felghana's psp port. I hope they do 1&2 next.

Dear lord. There's money to be made there then, buying the PAL and US rights, translating and selling it at low volumes[ 1000 - 5000 copies. ]

Maybe the Steam versions of Oath and Origin will be successful enough that Falcom will let XSEED port the rest of the games to the PC in English.

I hope so, at least. :'(

I thought Super Meat Boy was OK, but was always curious about its excessive praise (I've seen some people call it one of the best platformers ever, which had me rolling my eyes bigtime

). Here's a great article about the game and talk about what's so wrong with its difficulty level and gameplay, that echoes my feelings far better than I ever could:

http://www.learntocounter.com/super-meat-boy/

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #9639 on:** July 25, 2012, 09:49:29 AM »

SUPER MEAT BOY was great, a pure platformer devoid of any distracting frills with an emphasis on pushing yourself towards chaining together a perfect run on each level, which I found interesting. I had a lot of fun playing and trying to get the best possible time on each level. And the fact that this guy wrote a 10k word re-review dedicated to tearing the game down doesn't change my own experience with it. But:

Quote

Super Meat Boy has become an indie wunderkind and a figurehead for that movement. It’s my duty to knock this laughable revolution down a notch and I’ll start by shooting one of its leaders in the head.

When I reviewed this game the first time around, I simply didn’t know better.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #9640 on:** July 25, 2012, 10:15:10 AM »

I racked my brain thinking of what acronym was not 'Super Mario Galaxy'.

this part definitely worked: "SMG was great, a pure platformer"

Then I realised you're talking about Super Meat Boy?

brob · « **Reply #9641 on:** July 25, 2012, 10:24:11 AM »

I played through about half of the forest in super meat boy and did not enjoy my time with it. VVVVVV is a much better heavily check-pointed, bite-sized platformer with a retro tinge imo.

Beezy · « **Reply #9642 on:** July 25, 2012, 11:19:56 AM »

demi · « **Reply #9643 on:** July 25, 2012, 11:30:09 AM »

The forest is tutorial levels breh. It gets super fuckin hard when it wants to.

brob · « **Reply #9644 on:** July 25, 2012, 11:39:40 AM »

my issues where more in the controls department, than the difficulty. but whatevs. There are quite a few of those retro-chic, short n hard, indie platformers so it's not something I fret over.

Never played Super Meat Boy because I could tell it wasn't the type of game for me (not a diss). I probably also like my platformers a bit less stripped down.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #9649 on:** July 25, 2012, 10:32:10 PM »

I'm a fiend for platform games but I couldn't bring myself to 100% Meat Boy. I beat the light world and that was enough. At the end of the day I'm just not really into the "die 100 times in a level then pass it" format. Same reason I never 100%'ed N+.

Binary Domain has plenty of potential, but trying to use the mouse and keyboard is a bitch with this game. I'm going to configure a gamepad and go back to it soon.

You are right in a lot of ways. And to be fair I never played SMB outside of the demo so if I played it a good deal maybe it would hook me.

i was underwhelmed by the demo, but the full game is pretty sweet. i haven't 100% it, though, unlike N+ (at least the single-player).

I can't believe I put 25 hours of my life into Skyward Sword. What a waste of time.
