I think Hilary Goldstein is one of the single worst reviewers in the industry today, but that review still got me pretty excited over the direction they took the series.

Absolutely bursting to play it at this point.

Incredibly clever but some of the puzzles are really, REALLY pissing me off...

EDIT: Oh, I forgot one thing:

PoP = JIZZ-PLOSION!!!!!!!

Me and Braid didn't get along well. I've got to try it again soon.

Peanut · 11-27-2008, 03:28 PM

I didn't mind Braid, it's certainly a sh*t platformer, and the puzzles are always easy to figure out, but actually accomplishing anything can sometimes be infuriating. Johnathan Blow is a douche bag.

*Cure* · 11-30-2008, 05:28 PM

I just really regretted buying Braid, man. It tried to be all deep and whatnot and fell flat to me.

**Barkworm** · 12-01-2008, 01:02 AM

I think the game is a great achievement as far as puzzle desing is concerned. After having played the billionth Zelda title, it was great to see some fresh puzzles.

Got a free copy of Wii Music.

*Ninjinister* · 12-02-2008, 10:37 AM

A co-worker gave me a copy of Samurai Shodown for Game Boy.

Gamerankings has it averaging a 96%

Let us know if it lives up to the hype

I'm already in love all over again.

well that is encouraging! Ok, I'm pretty much sold!

**Barkworm** · 12-02-2008, 10:26 PM

You people already have it??!! I HATE YOU!!!!

Peanut · 12-02-2008, 10:36 PM

I just need to say that there are sections where I put the controller down and stared at the scenery in awe. There are things in this game I've never seen in any other.

*Mecha Cow* · 12-03-2008, 12:46 PM

I've heard some reports saying the gameplay is very repetitive; do you agree (assuming you are far enough in the game to say)?

By now it should be out over here as well.

Peanut · 12-03-2008, 01:04 PM

I disagree completely, actually. I'm pretty far in at this point, and I'm not bored of any aspect of the game.

*Mecha Cow* · 12-03-2008, 01:36 PM

That's good to hear, thanks.

Archon_Turtle · 12-03-2008, 04:38 PM

a lot of the reviews I'm reading are saying that it is generally too easy. What say you P?

Peanut · 12-03-2008, 07:22 PM

Typical games media, to be honest. They have their heads so far up their asses they don't know what the f*ck is going on.

I pride myself on being a good PoP player. I could complete SoT without dying, and with sparse use of the rewind feature. In this new one, I mess up and die every 10 minutes, but because of the fact that Elika saves you before you die, you just restart at the nearest safe platform. To me, all that does is cut out the tedium of a game over/retry screen, and also cuts down on the monotony of dying and having to restart an entire area over again. I personally don't see the fun in the masochistic "hard" game sh*t, and that's all this "too easy" garbage seems to be. If you're in games "journalism" you have to be some kind of idiot who wants to die over and over and have to restart and replay 15-20 minutes worth of gameplay in order to get where you previously were.

It's bullsh*t.

*Dr. Doom* · 12-03-2008, 07:54 PM

Well I guess there's a thin line between dying constantly in a frustratingly hard game and feeling as though you have been acceptably "challenged" by whatever it is you're playing.
