Wow I really suck at Spelunky

Everyone sucks at Spelunky. When you finally git gud at The Mines, you'll suck at The Jungle, and so on.

It is a humbling game.

Yeah, I saw the jungle today and was happy until I died

Beating Hell in Spelunky is one of my greatest gaming achievements, ever. The challenge is absurd to even see the Hell stages. Hundreds of hours practice to get there :'(

The tutorial is ass. You have to look up the manual online.

Also button mashing doesn't work so basically WTF.

Got the hang of it, I was trying to base my counters off when the symbol popped up instead of when the strikes were landing -- and Cena just kinda throws weird punches

I Am Alive was one of the best games on the 360 imo. You can tell the development was shaky but its a really cool adventure and truly a "survival" game, it's easier on the 2nd playthrough if youre going for collecitibles as they come with food/ammo iirc. Nothing but awesome memories of the game, uses similar Ubi tech to ass crud in terms of the climbing, difference is the climbing really matters here. I'd recommend checking it out

I'd love to convert my copy of Burnout Paradise City to digital but, when it's previously been on sale, EA has blocked non-US IP addresses from purchase completion, even though I've got a US 360 and US XBL account.

Another month, another batch of XBLA games I already own and have the crisp 200/200G under my belt.

Still the best soothing videogame blowjob tune

Was totally willing to pay full price for Killer Instinct at launch but the piece-meal payment model and digital only was an immediate turn-off.

I will forever remember Kayne and Lynch as the game that got Jeff Gerstmann fired.

What a shitty game to have inexorably tied to your name

The Sceneman · « **Reply #292 on:** July 13, 2017, 08:12:43 AM »

I'm pretty sure that Gerstmann was fired for his review of the original Kane and Lynch game.

Anyhow I downloaded K&L2 as it was free and C grade tps was my bread and butter back in the day. Holy shit does this game stink. The maps and enemy placement/movements are OK, the weapons in this game are beyond awful. Shotguns are crazy accurate and effective over long distances, but you get limited access to these and you're forced to use machine pistols over the first couple of levels, which basically involve hiding in cover and shooting 200 rounds to kill one baddie. Really poor and unsatisfying gameplay.

Best part of the game is the shaky digital camera style they went for, its truly pretty unique and a fun game world to manouvre through, and it also band-aids shitty texture pop in by making it "intentional". I've never played a game that masked it's technical shortcomings by a stylistic choice and I have to say its pretty cool. Video game historians may mention this one as some throwback chic someday

Oops, you're right!

Wasn't K&L2 liked more than the original? Surprised the compression artifacts and color separation effects weren't cloned by other games. It was a pretty unique visual effect for the time.

chronovore · « **Reply #294 on:** July 13, 2017, 08:58:19 AM »

I just tried downloading K&L2, but it's region-locked from purchase. Also, MS updated their site so that Xbone store purchases are region-detecting, so it shifts me to the Japanese Xbox Store auto-sucking-magically.
