I just used the wrench for the entire game. The enemies were so weak that its fast attack speed more than makes up for its moderate strength. Using Grecotch just left me open for longer when I attacked. The flamethrower? That weapon actually served a purpose? There was no reason for me to ever use anything other than the wrench on 99% of enemies.
For anyone who decides to tackle this game for the first time without a guide, well...use a guide. At least if you want to complete every sidequest.

OMG Finally approved! I don't know what to say. It feels like I just won an Emmy.
So, now that I'm finally up in this piece, if there is anything I can help you guys with or answer for you, please feel free to ask away. I'm more than happy to assist however/whenever I can.
Oh my gosh

Finished the game for the first time today and wow. I really loved the writing and I think it's a truly beautiful game, despite the shit graphics.
Really wanting to start again, even if the ending

Any word on the avatars that Europe received some time ago making it to NA?
Thanks
Will Europe get the other DLCs as well?So I just finished this game mere hours ago.
Wow, very thought provoking. I definitely enjoyed it. However, it wasn't until I read the endgame Q&A on planetredwood that I realised how carefully this game was put together.
I definitely have a much bigger appreciation for it now.

Thanks for the link. Really interesting. I finished the game last month (and also decided to platinum it) and loved it. I can't get enough of York. I'm really hoping to see him return in a new game.
Answering my own question. After purchasing the DLC, there will be a gold flare in your inventory that is used to summon the blinged out police car, or whatever you set in the add-ons menu.
When the price goes down for the Director's Cut, I'll probably pick up DP again. I would read the link, but I have forgotten the finer details of DP. I want to replay the game, and then read that Q&A.

Sounds like it's MS funded with a heavy Kinect focus. Which is a shame, his games need to be on as many platforms as possible.

Hey guys and gals,
Wanted to give you all a bit of an inside heads up and let you know that the PS Home Avatar items are scheduled to be released in North America next week.
EDIT: Oh, and I'll ask about the game's OST.
a bit off topic but do you know anything about Swery65's new game D4?
To my knowledge, Microsoft bought the rights to the game, so D4 will be a first party Microsoft title. Whether or not it's a launch title, I can't say for sure.
Had a brief run in with Swery at the Microsoft booth while I squeezed in a quick round of Killer Instinct.

Oh, and BTW, great choice on the Klonoa avatar. Little known fact, I was a contest winner years ago in Tips N' Tricks Magazine for being the fastest to beat one of the bosses in Klonoa 2. In fact, I still rock the proof on my Chrome bag: http://i.imgur.com/cmdYsRL.jpg (sadly, it's yellowed over time). I won that zipper pull, some stickers, a poster, and a copy of the game on GBA at launch.
Well, it's a nice bed to sleep in without having to shlep all the way to the hotel. Yeah, it's mostly cosmetic, but I like having a house in Greenvale.
Yeah, I forgot about that. I even complained about that a few times. This would have been a better purchase if the DLC had come out before I finished the game completely.

So... Klonoa 3, brought to you by Rising Star, coning in 2014 to XBone and PS4, right?
Don't... just don't. My heart can't take it.
Sorry for bumbing this again after this short time, but I was wondering, can I get the platinum even if I skipped many subquests and have already finished the game? Do I have to complete them all in a single playthrough or now that I finished the game I can load a chapter I need a subquest from, finish it, then save and jump to a different chapter? Same question goes for the trading cards I guess.

Yeah, you can go back and redo anything you miss. Only caveat are that you can't save while you're replaying a chapter, so you have finish it one sitting. Picking short, easy chapters like 7 helps this though.
Well, some have also been reporting trouble with the legendary fish quest, that the special fishing rod you receive can disappear from you inventory if you don't finish the quests before you finish the chapter rendering the quest uncompletable.

How come nobody is talking about the fact that you get new weapons from replaying the final four "Other World" scenarios? The grass cutter is awesome, wish I'd had it during first playthrough of the game.
Thanks, I did that quest first to avoid any problems, completed it just fine. Yesterday I rage quitted after trying so hard to make it rain for Emily's second dinner quest, ugh. I thought I had given up on the platinum but today I woke up regretting my decision, will keep on trying later on
Sorry Zach, can you forgive me?
I lent out my Xbox 360 copy to a coworker only to get it scratched beyond belief when I got it back a month or two later. I went on ebay only to find the 360 version is super expensive. I can't seem to find a new copy for anything vaguely around the $20 MSRP. Copies on ebay seem to go between $60-$85 with shipping. :/
Should I just pick up the PS3 version and dig out my old PS3, or should I just buy the games on demand version? Are there any major issues with the PS3 version I should note (eg. game breaking glitches, save erasing glitches, etc)? I remember hearing the frame rate is dog shit in the DC. Any advice?

Aaand platinum. It was frustrating at times but I enjoyed the post-game a lot overall, I like the kind of trophy that forces you to do everything in the game without absurd requests. Also the fact that each side quest gives you a trophy (instead of the usual approach "do more than 5 missions, than 10" etc) stimulates you to go ahead and do another one. Very rewarding.
I really loved this game, one of my instant classics for sure. It will be among the few I will remember fondly from this generation of consoles. I'll just say it made me drop The Last of Us for weeks (bought it on day one and I rarely spend full price for games, so that's how I was looking forward to it), 6 hours into the game. That's saying a lot I guess.

I only played the DC and have no idea what they added to the original game, but the framerate is really, really bad. Not gamebreaking and I tend to not complain for such things when games are not very combat-focused or action-driven, I find that the clunkyness and "dirty" looks add to the charme. The only glitch regards a side quest, if you just don't save during it you're fine (it's very short, totally doable).
Just put in a request for an update.
Did you ever get an update about a patch?

Got around to downloading this and played it for about 2 or so hours. Yeah, the game is ugly and clunky but it has a certain something that keeps me wanting to continue.
Just finished up the
. I've only done the
sidequest so far so I hope to travel around and do some more next time I play.
Any of the DLC worth the price? Or is it mostly fluff?
Just finished up the

The real estate DLC might actually be helpful if you are just starting the game as it gives you a extra spot in the city to sleep and save.
Here is a list of everything else : http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/...ion-the-director-39-s-cut-gets-first-dlc.aspx

I've been waiting for a patch before trying to play this anymore. I didn't see that twitter post from Swery until just now so I guess I shouldn't hold my breath. Fuck. I honestly feel ripped off. This version of the game runs like shit.
Prospective buyers? Don't.

Thanks, I'll download the real estate pack later today. It would be nice to have an extra place to sleep without driving all around. May even spring for a skin or two.
It's really not that bad. I went into this game knowing it's going to run and look like crap. And yes, it does look like crap and while it doesn't run smoothly I wouldn't say it runs like shit.

The game is perfectly playable. I know I shouldn't say this but, it's framedrops kinda add to it's crappyness charm. It's not like it prevents you from enjoying the base game.

So true. It really feels like it's a so bad it's good B grade horror movie. Some of the animations that go along with certain lines of dialog are so bad it's hilarious.
