That Amazon theme is amazing. As for the complaints like Chun li's thighs said put it on easy if you can't handle the challenge. I am sure if they had put checkpoints in normal or hard they would complain it was too easy.

Does anyone know if extreme difficulty is unlocked from the start or does that need to be unlocked?

 

[chun li's thighs]

Extreme needs to be unlocked.

I played the original game hundreds of times back in the day. I remember the game being
Pretty fair and not overly difficult. The game rewarded you for collecting as many treasures as possible. It wasn't a run and gun platformer like Mario. It was more about exploring and finding every last gem, every secret passage, Etc. it's not a game meant to be rushed through. There isn't a run button on purpose

 

[SoraanTribal]

As a huge fan of the original, I'm so tempted to pick this game up. I love the remade music, too which is surprising. I wasn't expecting to at all because those things rarely turn out great. But I really do like some of the themes.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Most likely this is going to be the last time we hear Alan Young as the voice of Scrooge McDuck.

[scitek]

that Polygon video review was BAD HOLY SHIT :/

Did the reviewer even get the point of this game?
Wow the reviews have been all over the place.

It doesn't help that he sounds like David Spade.

 

[rhino4evr]

Just watched the polygon review...guy says how much he loves the original game and then completely trashes the gameplay? I don't get it

 

[Dr Bass]

Picking it up regardless. It's only 11.99 via playstation+. Very little risk, and potentially a whole lotta upside.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Sucks you have to watch the same dialogue cut scenes over again when you replay a level.

That's kind of disappointing.

It's been confirmed that you can skip them

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

It's been confirmed that you can skip them

Yes, but you have to skip them through the pause menu according to IGN.

Whether you can skip them or not isn't the issue. They shouldn't be in there when you replay a level.

 

[YoYo Switch]

Yes, but you have to skip them through the pause menu according to IGN.

Whether you can skip them or not isn't the issue. They shouldn't be in there when you replay a level.

So? You can just skip them.

What If i'm super into the Ducktales lore and I want to analyze the cutscenes and share my findings on my fan tumblr? In your world, wonderful people like me would be SOL

 

[antitrop]

I have as much childhood nostalgia as anyone, but the negative reviews have convinced me that I don't need to play this. I guess I just don't really need any frustration in my life right now, it's summer time. I want happiness and good feelings.

 

[mikeebi3]

Longer versions of some of the songs without the obnoxious intro from that other uploader have been uploaded to the Screwattack Youtube channel

Amazon Stage
Transylvania Stage
African Mines Stage
Himalayian Stage
Moon Stage


NES chiptune music is unlockable.

omg thank you!

 

[reelbigtink]

I'm loving that Transylvania theme. The whole soundtrack really.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Ducktales lore

I cringed.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I cringed.

It is not quite DuckTales lore, but...

 

[duckroll]

GMG is sending keys out. I just got mine.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Sweet. I clicked this topic just to ask if GMG emails you when keys become available.

edit: got mine

edit2: Wait I can't activate it to preload it?

 

[Shard]

Pre-bought this on Steam, which is a rarity and I am really looking forward to playing it on the morrow.

 

[scitek]

Do we have to wait until 1pm EST tomorrow to unlock this thing on Steam?

 

[AxelLund]

DuckTales is such a fun game.

 

[OmahaG8]

Watched the Screwattack video to try and lesson all the negative talk. Looked great. Very glad I preordered on PSN.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Duck Tales just activated for me, but can't pre-load it. Bummer.

 

[SUPARSTARX]

When does it go live?

 

[Cmagus]

Hope PS3 goes live soon it is still on pre-order in the store.

 

[Lupin the Third]

Hope Wii U version goes live at Midnight....do retail+digital Nintendo titles generally go live at Midnight Eastern or Pacific?

 

[JohngPR]

I wonder if the Steam VPN trick would work to unlock.

 

[BooJoh]

Hope Wii U version goes live at Midnight....do retail+digital Nintendo titles generally go live at Midnight Eastern or Pacific?

Usually midnight Eastern for Nintendo's first party titles, noon Eastern for third party.

What about the positive reviews which are more than the negative reviews?

 

[TranceKuja]

Hm, how many hours until it unlocks? I'm terrible at these time zone things so I have no idea what '00:01 UTC' means for my country (netherlands). I was kind of hoping to play it today, it being the 13th and all, but it won't let me yet...

EU PSN ver. should unlock on Wednesday/tomorrow by 3-6 PM your time.

 

[Wolf Akela]

The time is on the Steam page. It unlocks in 9 hours for me. Ugh 1am. I suppose I can just let it download overnight then take it to work to play.

 

[IrishNinja]

i still can't wrap my head around the polygon review...were they playing on an old LCD in a room full of halogen lights, with peanut butter on their hands?

 

[El Odio]

Game on steam unlocks for me about noon, right about when I wake up. God my sleep schedule is mess lately.

 

[Bill Rizer]

i still can't wrap my head around the polygon review...were they playing on an old LCD in a room full of halogen lights, with peanut butter on their hands?

I stopped reading their review here:

But, like digging up a beloved pet years after its death, DuckTales hasn't aged well at all.

wtf?

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

I stopped reading their review here:



wtf?

Vehement hyperbole is always a good way of getting a point across, don't you know?

 

[BobbyRobby]

i'm actually psyched for some new Ducktales lore. It was my favorite cartoon as a kid, so I don't think I'll mind all the cut-scenes.

 

[Lord British]

new Ducktales lore

See, I understand what guys are saying and I like the cartoon too, but... but lore!?

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

It's easier to type than saying "DuckTales-related media".

 

[Lord British]

Stuff! :3

I'm looking forward to further weight to add to the Ducktales mythos

Jokes aside, the old Barks/Rosa Uncle Scrooge comics genuinely have a great deal of intricacy and continuity to them.

Wait wasn't it Don Rosa that MADE the connections in his Duck stories?

 

[Data West]

Ain't ever read the Uncle Scrooge comic books? Better lore than any video game.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

Wait wasn't it Don Rosa that MADE the connections in his Duck stories?

I think there was a definite very loose sense of continuity in the original stories. But yeah, it was Rosa who took all of those stories and said "OK, let's put all this stuff together in a timeline so that it makes more sense". It's a bit like what the Zelda fans did with that franchise before Nintendo finally gave in and did one themselves.

 

[Artorias]

3 minutes? Try 15. I feel that forcing players to replay huge stretches is a very poor way to add difficulty. You may disagree, and that's fine. But don't try to argue that my point is stupid just because we disagree.

I actually didn't do that at all. Maybe you meant to quote someone else?

Either way, replaying a section isn't "added difficulty". If you didn't pass the area, you didn't progress. I'm not sure how that's a new concept for you, but not every game needs to let you checkpoint your way to the finish line.

 

[Cheesemeister]

When do games go live on PSN? I'm waiting here...

 

[jtkauff]

When do games go live on PSN? I'm waiting here...

I believe the store usually updates in the late afternoon here (Eastern time). I would think it would flip over to being available then.

 

[Cmagus]

The store usually updates around 4-6 pm eastern time so this probably won't unlock for a few hours yet.

 

[Tizoc]

When do games go live on PSN? I'm waiting here...

The US PSN Store updates whenever Grace Chen feels like it.

EU PSN updates by like 3-6 PM GMT.

 

[vid]

It is not quite DuckTales lore, but...

"Aw, I just lost my last life."

"Just now? That makes no sense. According to these documents.... Uncle Scrooge died almost fifty years ago."

"...what the hell?"
