Rummy Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I think I'll buy it, but it's probably a "£20-25" game for me. Thanks for trying it, 'snowman. I'm not sure it'll be better online though. From what I've played it's better single player, but maybe I'm just a loner! Hope to play it online more with you guys anyway! Pretty sure it was £25 on amazon when I pre-ordered :p Online and friend bonuses intrigue me tbh, also online might present the added challenge given it scales with more people apparently?

Grazza Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Online and friend bonuses intrigue me tbh, also online might present the added challenge given it scales with more people apparently? Yeah, I was playing 3-player and we had loads more enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dem0- Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 So far there's nothing on my radar, online multiplayer with you guys tonight would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I see now that Amazon has it for £30! Does anyone know what happens if you pre-ordered at a cheaper price? Do they charge you the pre-order price or the new price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they charge you the pre-order price or the new price? The price you preordered it at. If it went lower than you'll pay the lowest price. Play.com has put the price up as well.

Grazza Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Demo entered my game, then disappeared before I found him! My game then had an error and chucked me out. I saw you were still playing it after that, Demo, but I couldn't find you. Sorry. Then I saw Ike came online, so I hosted a new game and went through it with him, but didn't bother getting the big sword that time! Nice to see you two anyway.

Ike Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Got an error when I tried to connect to your game Grazza, worked the second time. Didn't realise you can view more pages when finding open games at first by pressing X/Y so it took a little while to find you. A friend search or the ability to join from the friend list would have been useful (unless it is in the final version). Should be more fun when you don't lose your progress though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend search or the ability to join from the friend list would have been useful (unless it is in the final version). Ah, sorry, I didn't realise there was more than one page either. Should be more fun when you don't lose your progress though Indeed. I love how you can get exceptional items for completing all the quests. As a Vindicator, I got a really good sword. Presumably you will be able to join your friend's games with all your best armour etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedShell Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) That was pretty fun. Some nice strategy involved too, with you shooting enemies from a distance, and me rocking the direct attacks. Shame we entered the final area of the demo before completing all the side quests though (especially the one that rewards you with a super powerful weapon) I blame you for that though, as I was following you. The framerate definitely takes a bit of a hit when playing this online (even with just 2 players) but it's still all right. One thing I noticed though was that the loot doesn't seem to be shared between players, so it's whoever grabs it first. We split the treasure in the secret room quite evenly I think, but that would be seriously entertaining with 4 players, especially randoms.

darksnowman Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Was there actually strategy involved? It was more " oh crap RedShell's killing stuff off the screen, shoot shoot shoot and maybe I'll get some exp before he cleans up again!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more " oh crap RedShell's killing stuff off the screen, shoot shoot shoot and maybe I'll get some exp before he cleans up again!" Oh, so the EXP isn't shared either? Sorry about that. So what do you make of this game now then, Stevo? Will it be appearing in your collection? I reckon I'm gonna get it, purely because there's nothing else on the way for 3DS for ages.

darksnowman Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I didn't even know we had other quests to fulfil... sorry! Bit of a noob here. Thought the game was pretty cool on second inspection, actually. Though wish I could zoom the camera out further! I don't know how the exp works but my instincts were that its not split...? Don't know how the mechanics of the game work yet but seeing as the loot is every man for himself, I just assumed you were getting everything. So your progress is saved in this demo? My gunslinger started off at lvl 2. Thats a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I didn't even know we had other quests to fulfil... sorry! Bit of a noob here. Yeah, once you collect enough of the items from the blue sparkling areas, those floating enemies and another area of the forest, you can return to that stone head and get a special weapon. Though wish I could zoom the camera out further!Indeed, camera isn't great. I imagine it's worse if you're using the gunslinger too, as you can't see very far into the distance. So your progress is saved in this demo? My gunslinger started off at lvl 2. Thats a nice touch.Don't think so, that's probably just because your 3DS has been in sleep mode.

darksnowman Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Don't think so, that's probably just because your 3DS has been in sleep mode. Wonder what the level cap is then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazza Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 One thing I noticed though was that the loot doesn't seem to be shared between players, so it's whoever grabs it first. I suppose they want each of the four players to be a different class, so that you only take what's equippable for yours. Of course, you can take everything and sell it, but a Vindicator is too noble for that. Thought the game was pretty cool on second inspection, actually. Though wish I could zoom the camera out further! Are you sure you can't? I thought that was one of the Options? Didn't use it personally as I wanted to see what the default was, and was happy with it. It's like Miyamoto says, resolution truly is an issue with games like this and Pikmin. Don't think I'll be online today, sorry chaps. I'm not feeling too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edza Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Been playing the demo since it came out and loving it so far. Deffo purchase next weekend for me. Is it just me or is the level in question randomly generated in some way every time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
