Wow it was a long ban!

Ok back on topic, i wanted something to break a little with persona 4, so thanks to gaf i decided to buy life of a pixel, i tought: "how bad a 2d platformer can be?"... I was sooo wrong!

Gaf i'm so disappointed! how can you praise such a game?!?!
I play vgs since the 8 bit era, i played all sorts of bad, broken and uber hard games, but none of them force player to jump in the void, die and redo this many times in each level! This is probably the worst game i have ever played! It really deserves to be mentioned in level design manuals as an example of how to not make levels!

Ok let's start from the beginning, graphics, audio and early static levels are good, but once scrolling or multiscreen levels come...

What i want to know is:
a)Did developers ever play vgs? Do they know that in normal conditions the player should be able to see where he goes? You can add a command to look at surroundings, or if it's really not possible add indications or bonuses in the direction to take. The only thing you know for sure when you make one of those jumps for the first time is that you'll land on spikes, enemies or water, there's no way you land on a safe spot, good work!
b)did they playtested the game? Did they really find it funny? Even super hard games have to be fair if they want to be good games.
c)to go up on the ladder you have to push down and to go down on the ladder you have to push up... What's wrong with you? And what about enemies that block the end of the ladder?

Worst 2€ spent ever, and i played the "enjoyable" patched version(the one with the retry button and different musics), i can't even imagine how bad was the original one...

I fully agree that the game was rather mediocre, and not taking the sweet music into consideration, it being actually rather bad.

All the points you mentioned annoyed me to no end as well. In the end I was just enjoying the music tracks they added for the levels.

Some people have reported performance improvements for Ninja Gaiden and New Little King's Story. I haven't seen much of a difference myself.

I'm early in the single player game so the improvements might be on the other game modes. The dynamic resolution is beyond annoying. Game is certainly playable but the resolution switch can be pretty detracting. Team Ninja should have made other sacrifices and kept native resolution.
 
How much as everyone spent this month for the promo? I bought NGS2+, ME1, Dokuro, and am waiting for DoA5+ on Tues. I'm going to use that $20 next month towards SS.

lol its throwing me up little window in japanese (which I cant read) oh..its okay never mind..i dont want to start a whole PSo2 hijack in this thread.

but thank you anyways.
 
I'm guessing something else on the sign-up page is wrong and the captcha is getting reset each time. With Japanese sign-ups I think address fields can typically be the nastiest part.
 
Making rooms for games is hard.

"I might play this again later!"
"I barely touched this. What if I want to later!"
"Later!'
 
So. I 'finished' Persona 4 Golden. Just the single play through so far, but acted as I felt I would if in the same situations. I'll go back one day and play again in NG+ and find all the other endings.

However, how can other games even compete. Taking out the usual suspects (Tetris, Super Mario Bros and the classics like those), this has rocketed to my number one all time game. It was more a journey than a game.

I have lots of other games in my backlog to play, but a break of sorts needed after that experience.
 
Has anyone else had potentially scamming messages sent?

I got a message today say that PS was giving away $50 if you resend the message to all of your friendslist. I did not do it but was wondering if others had similar occurrences.

Lol I used to see that message a lot when I had a PS3; didn't know people were still doing that!
 
On chapter 15 of 19. I just noticed I haven't upgraded my health at all. No wonder I'm slightly struggling. :lol
 
It wouldn't be a page in this thread without someone complaining that the memory isn't enough. Give me 64GB card please? Did anyone tweet someone who could potentially be in the know about this? Maybe they're planning something?

Hopefully that comes with a price drop on all memory cards. I'd hate to have to spend more than $100 on a 64GB card.
