I love Zelda 2 too but I dunno man calling it a good game might be a stretch

Especially the second half and double plus especially that fuckhole of a final palace
A good game and that Adventure Time game are pretty far apart, there's a lot of middle ground available

If it helps make you feel any better, I did only make the comparison because it was a side scroller type. I know that is a broad generalization but it did felt like Zelda 2 in that aspect.

I mean yeah Zelda 2 is a way better game (even if it is a goddamn hardass game near Death Mountain)

Not really. It's definitely a mindless button masher. Get digimon instead.

If you want to give Senran's publisher (MarvUSA/XSEED) money, buy Trails in the Sky FC & SC or Cold Steel instead.

I liked the trailer for the game.

I think most people hated it because you definitely were playing very bad men who went against even worse people. Also the abrupt ending.

edit: Seriously if any of you own KnL2 or wanna buy it during the MS spring sale get with me because I want to play and finish that game in co-op.

K&L2 is only 4 or 5 hours long, it's the perfect length to play thrpugh on a lazy Sunday when you're hung over or feverish or coming down from a trip and that state of mind is absolutely conductive to a game where everything is gross and terrible and the worst things keep happening.

There are more missions than a DOA game but also more boobs and more cutscenes. Whether the gameplay or boobs or cutscenes are good is largely dependent on personal preference, I wouldn't say they're either amazing or abominable

I played a couple of the Senran games. They were not really my thing but I don't like Dynasty Warriors and the writing was bad-to-smirk-worthy. The anime boobs are huge and plenty if you enjoy that.

pro tip for digimon: they get stronger the more you evolve them so if you hit a leveling plateau or something just shunt that dude down a type then level him back up again real quick.

Re: the Shakespeare puzzle.

I wonder if it's fair for a game to ask for outside knowledge like that. Because if, say, your high school never did Shakespeare because you went to a French school and did Molière instead, then the game just makes you feel dumb and I don't like feeling dumb, you're the dumb one, game, not me

I can't think of any other popular games that feature a puzzle that tests your general knowledge. Usually you can find the answer a couple of steps away.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/215280/

I was told by someone who picked this up when this came out that it calls for a great amount of "not in the game" information. It's mediocre in many aspects, but it definitely did attempt the task of asking for actual real-world knowledge to progress in the game.

Is there a voice volume slider in Uncharted? One solution would be to turn that all the way down, turn off subtitles, and skip all cutscenes.

EDIT: This game has really nice environments. They definitely put a big chunk of the budget into making neat setpieces. I dunno why the camera has to be so restricted though.
