Anyone else excited for this?

If you printed out half a dozen screenshots, I wouldn't even shit on them, not even post-curry diarrhoea. Which is incidentally what the game looks like. 

Might have looked pretty in the 80s 

Megaman ghosts and goblins style platformers rule. 

looks like any other platformer except it has shovels instead of actual weapons. 

"Retro" games need to fucking die already. 

Y'all are getting kind of salty about some goofy little game. 

I play retro games cause they're fun, not because I want to be kooky or weird.

Hell, anyone on a forum dedicated to a 17 year old shoot 'em saying retro style games need to die is being a little weird ;) 

Except not at all. 

Except with modern engines / textures / effects / mapping quality Quake looks about 12 years old and those fucking 240 x 160 resolution side-scrolling bollox look about 32 years old. 

and boring. but that's just me not liking platformers. because they're boring. 

That's just like you're opinion man!! 

 

I couldn't care less about retro-for-retro's sake but it looks like a solid classic platformer. 

The saving system sucks nuns' ass.
The unavoidable scripted scenes rape your scrotum like an underage bitch.

But damn, I loved it.


And Shambler's right. All the way. 

I know right? Totally shaves your big toe like a randomized butter bean. 

And those boss fights! Talk about etching poetry on the side of a plaintive accusation! 

??????

Am I missing something? 

Maybe. I was pointing out, in my own way, how little sense shit like this makes:

"The saving system sucks nuns' ass.

The unavoidable scripted scenes rape your scrotum like an underage bitch. " 

...but I see things along those lines all the time on english speaking forums. So I thought I'd give it a spin.

I'm sure you got what I meant, though... 

I think we're in agreement. Let's table this for now and move to the next action item on the agenda... 

Batman: Arkham Asylum: great, 9/10. I guess everyones already played this anyway.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II: 6.5/10. Combat can be fun, everything else is dog shit. Lucasarts should be ashamed.

Metro 2033: 8.5/10. Most dark-atmospheric game I've played, great.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: 7.5/10. Great looking levels, good combat, but some real annoying shit like fixed cameras, invisible walls, platforming/puzzles and terrible movement/keboard lag. Probably would have been 8.5/10 without that stuff. Might be 8/10 on consoles since that's really what it's designed for.

Looks like Tron Evolution is next on my list, which is really gonna suck, then Bioshock 2. 

As best as I remember, Batman pretty much sucked due to its stupid control scheme. It was probably fine for those playing on consoles or with a controller, but terrible for mouse and keyboard. I only paid like $4 for it, so I didn't feel that bad about deleting it.

I thought Metro 2033 was very good. Some parts (like the ending) were a bit weak, but overall it was fun to play.

I was watching a play through of the new Wolfenstein on youtube and I doubt those people will be getting much of my money. Maybe when it's under $10 on Steam. At least it's not a 3rd person game. 

Yes, use a controller for Batman.

And yes, the Batman games are fucking EXCELLENT. 

I thought the controls played just fine once you got used to them.

And yes, the Batman games are fucking EXCELLENT.
