Posted September 11, 2007 Is this a puzzle and adventure game or something? Been looking at some videos and screens and dunno what to think I like the look of it with the cel-shading thing and I the campaign for his caught my attention. Do you go about solving puzzles or is there an adventure aspect where you can go and travel about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 11, 2007 I think it's almost entirely self contained puzzles going by how IGN is describing it. Like you progress to a new stage and have to work out a bunch of puzzles within it, then go to the next. Really not sure exactly though as apparently almost all the fun is in finding out how to do the puzzles so I've been avoiding media. I suppose this meansit has little replay value.

I suppose this meansit has little replay value. They're adding lots of items and goodies for you to go back and collect if you miss them previously, so there should be a fair deal of replay value in there. It's apparently 20 hours to complete, but one puzzle can get you stuck for ages, hmmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 12, 2007 According to GameTrailers you bump into Captain Barbaros (who is a golden skull at the time!) who has been cursed and his body strewn across the island. You agree to go find the bits of his body, eash of which seems to be contained withing a level. So I would say level based BUT I'm guessing that there will be a lot of backtracking in each one.

This is the one thing that has me worried about this game! Not 100% if I'll buy it or not... hmmmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2007 But what point and click game actually has replay value? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2007 I'm sure this won't have much replay value beyond trying to beat levels more quickly. But if some puzzles are really that difficult, the first time through the game should be lenghty enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2007 But what point and click game actually has replay value? As I said, they seem to be putting in alot to add replay value. Over 500 items for you to collect is a good example, as I don't believe you need to collect them to complete the game. Sounds like there's plenty of unique items too, such as assembling the guy out of body pieces. I wouldn't worry so much anyway, Capcom are aiming at 20 hours gameplay which aint too shabby, and I would imagine a very steep difficulty curve. Sounds to me like a winner.

Posted September 20, 2007 Oooooh! Cute dragon! I wonder how often you'll accidentally drop him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 20, 2007 I wonder how often you'll accidentally drop him. NEVER.... not once, not even like a hundred times! Just watched that trailer too. Its really good, in fact I wanna give the narrator a hug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 23, 2007 I'm really finding myself looking forward to this. It has all the quirks a first party Nintendo title would have, added with Point & Click controls. And wouldn't that just be my favorite (deceased) genre of all time. I also heard it's going to retail for about 10 euro cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 23, 2007 It's so original and fresh isn't it? Thats what i like about this, nothing has been used from a previous game etc... I love the style of it as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that the point and click is back, we need to see the return of the vertical shmup! Ikaruga on XBLA will hopefully just be the start :awesome: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 23, 2007 This game, since the last trailer, is giving me a lot of hype. The motive is simple: The really first gameplay adequate to the wiimote. It's the first game that it makes me saying: Thank god, the wiimote exists. Capcom seems to know what they're doing, and i just hope they can make a classic, and a great... great game.

Posted October 1, 2007 Hehehe No competitive mode in the works then? Still looks fun though; you try to solve a puzzle when your screen's covered with throbbing cocks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 2, 2007 Maybe this might just surpass Toonstruck as my favorite Point and Click game of all time, although Toonstruck is one of the only point and click games i've played other than a game by Activision called Zork Nemesis and another point and click game called Obsidian...
