Ultigonio posted:I don't think I'd recommend the first NMH too much. Knowing what I know of Red Steel, is the sequel actually that decent? Depends on how cheap and what you like in a game. The story isn't worth mentioning, the levels are (imo) large enough, but they're largely empty. Basically it's only saving grace is the gameplay. It's okay when you start, but as you gain new moves, it quickly becomes pretty awesome. I quit multiple times because the world is so poor, but I kept coming back due to the sword/gun fighting being great.

I was playing Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze last weekend and after playing a world with the tablet, I swapped back from the tablet to the the sideways wiimote set up. I have no idea why, but this plays so much better for me.  I was having trouble getting into the flow of the levels, but after switching I'm bouncing all over the place and making jumps I had trouble with using the gamepad. This game is intense and beautiful. I hate the stupid log raft.  The one problem I have with Donkey Kong is that I have little will to go back to a level and get all the puzzle pieces/kong letters. After playing a part for over 15 times and just finishing by the skin of your teeth doesn't make it appealing to go back and do it again.

Astro7x posted:The Kong letters are not that hard, and they unlock extra stages for each world. The puzzle pieces do nothing aside from unlock concept art and things like that, and I don't even think they contribute to the 100% completion stat. I find the Kong letters the hardest. Some of them have really nasty placing/timed jumps and you don't get to keep them after you die like with the puzzle pieces.  Nolgthorn posted:I'm going to try that, it sounds like I am having the same trouble you were with that game. Hope it helps so I can take solace in not being the only weird waggle person on the internet.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:You know what, i'm feeling stupid today and i'll say this actually relates super good to how I want my Mario. I don't want some deep story that'll tie all ends and have Mario resurface from his darkest hour in a space opera, I want some porno plot, just an excuse that gives a context for the setting and just stays quiet while the gameplay happens. I agree with this. Though the one thing about the galaxy 1 story was that you couldn't fast forward.

Bayonetta 1 is seriously Top Tier action gaming though, so definitely pick it up; just not for PS3, it has massive framerate issues and becomes practically unplayable in some parts. Incorrect.

Kly posted:Oh, i get it now. Honestly im not really sure what he could do with it that id need to worry about that. I have the parental lock on drat near everything. I think the worst he could do is delete his saves (which he knows not to do now after a night of tears when he deleted his mario save in "bowser land") and maybe watch a youtube video with some foul language that got past the safe search. I am curious, At what age did your kid play his first game? What games does he currently play? Also, I don;t think you have to die to get the Hadoken but it is the most reliable way. I think it's also counted if you use the cliff side and climb all the way up and down a couple of times.

Kly posted:Spelunky on PC was the very first time he played a video game he was about 3 and he just ran back and forth jumping around in the starting area, he had so much fun doing that i busted out the old wii with homebrew channel and put on mario all stars for him. He played Mario 1 and 3 mostly, took him a while to master that first goomba and after that learning to run and jump at the same time but once he got that down he did great. I gave him my old NES themed GBA from when i was a kid with the rereleased mario games then later my old DS for NSMB then we eventually got him a 2DS. Interesting. Did he just watch you play first or did you put him behind a computer to show him something new? Mine's still too young to play (IMO), but I really don't know when/how I want to introduce him to games so I find how other people have done it very interesting. Thank you. Also, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I can't believe you put a kid of that age behind GTA. While my kid (and considering you're not correcting me I assume you also have a boy) is crazy for cars/truck and I can see the allure of having him drive through a city, but the game just isn't very kid friendly. (Though it was probably very refreshing seeing someone slowly drive around trying to obey traffic laws.  )I figure that when I start maybe I'll just boot up Wii sports and have him swing around.

Narcissus1916 posted:Burning my way through New Super Mario Wii, and I'm having a good time - but is it worth my time to track down every last drat star coin? I love the concept of the coins and REALLY dig the whole hint video mechanic (which I heard isn't in the new WiiU sequel), but I'm dreading the idea of picking through each and every level for the coins that I've missed. I know some people adore the hell out of that side of the game, but I much prefer the Hop N Bop twitch stuff to the more secret-heavy side of the mario series. I loved New super mario wii and the last world has some great levels. Yes, it's not a world in the traditional sense but me and the friend I player it with kept replaying some of the levels because we were having so much fun bouncing around. It's too bad my backlog is already huge otherwise I'd be all over Hyrule warriors.

Digital foundry. The digital foundry posted a comparison between bayo 1 on the wiiu, ps3 and x360 They feel that the WiiU version just edges out the x360 version. Nice to know, even though I'll never be able to pick up some of the nitpicks they've found considering I liked the ps3 version.  Good to know at least that its an effort port and has off screen play.

Rack posted:My wife just got me DK:Tropical Freeze and Mario 3d world for my birthday. Congratulations on having a great wife. 13/f/cali posted:I've only played one level but it's absolutely charming so far. I liked DKC Returns but found it aesthetically uninteresting and this game doesn't seem like it'll have that problem. Just the opening cutscene left me wanting a way to buy the soundtrack. You probably didn't get far enough in returns. Returns had some very dynamic backdrops and let's not forget the creepy crawly levels. TF just kicks it into overdrive and it's so great to look at you'll curse the game for being too hard to be able to appreciate it while playing.  Fortunately I play together with a friend and we don't immediately press the respawn button upon dying allowing us both to appreciate the beauty of this game.

Narcissus1916 posted:I found Bayonetta to be a mechanically sound brawler with a terrible, nauseating plot. I know its "meant" to be that way, but I seriously regret not skipping the cutscenes. I admired Viewtiful Joe more than I liked it, and found the difficulty to be quite off-putting. Vanquish was my favorite game from last generation and IMO Platinums best game. I wish it would get a sequel or even a re-release on the WIIU so I could play off screen.  I finished it three times and toyed around with the challenges before other games wanted to be played. Even now, I still want to go back to that game.

Astro7x posted:I feel the same way. It was entertaining, I beat the demo, and in true Platinum games fashion I am sure there is a way I could have beaten it better, but I don't quite understand how I won. This is my relationship with Platinum games. I start them and have no idea what I'm doing but it sure looks awesome and I like awesome things. Then more awesome poo poo happens and I keep playing. I struggle through the game to a big boss. Said boss holds me up for a few hours where I finally learn the game mechanics proper and I play it again only to discover I've suddenly become good at the game and almost understand what I'm doing and find an entirely new layer of fun. I finally learned to parry while fighting Senator Armstrong in Revengeance. I learned to properly dodge in the second fight against Jeanne in Bayo1. Though Vanquish functions completely different from the aforementioned games I learned to combine speed and tactics in my fight against the two scorpion/cat things at the same time. (before that I was basically rocket slide kicking everything in sight )Unlike other games, each death makes me feel like I've learned something.

Fremry posted:I can't use the Dpad because I have the small 3DS and it cramps my hand to use the Dpad. My biggest control issue was moving the circle pad in the direction I wanted, expecting full speed, but instead do a little trot which doesn't give me enough speed to make my jump. That happens like 1 out of every 8 times. Haha. No. Bad hitboxes seem to be a staple of Donkey Kong country games. When something is on fire jump higher!

Austrian mook posted:Perhaps in the older games, but the hitboxes in DKC Returns and Tropical Freeze are fine. Generally yes, but occasionally you will die or get hit if you don't take as much room as you possibly can. I've died more than once to enemies that shouldn't have hit me, so I've taught myself to not cut it as close as I usually do in games. It's not bugged big, but it's still occasionally weird especially for flaming enemies. At least in my experience.

Are the Bayo games like God of War in that you unlock more moves/weapons as you progress through the game? I've ne'er played a Platinum game to the best of my knowledge. For Bayonetta, the question if something can get more over the top the answer is always yes. Flying on a jet? Just add a giant monster. Giant monster in the way, just add some slow motion stripping set to Jpop. Not enough how about we add some extra explosions and a falling building.
