Solid game from the very little I've played so far. Looks lovely, animates really well and plays great! It's sort of like how I would envisage a 2D DMC, sort of.
Looking forward to tucking into this properly.

Awesome! Not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but I signed up for PS+ using a prepaid card during the "spend 50 get 10 back" promotion. Did I qualify for the $10, or did I have to make that purchase using a credit card tied to my PSN account? If I did qualify, when will I get my $10?It's gonna be $12 for plus subscribers.

Oh man, I very much love my youtube comments herp derp extension.
You're safe, I think. Supposedly the credits will be rewarded in a couple days.
Did you use a Playstation Plus subscription card or a PSN card? If you used a PSN card to add money to your on-line wallet and then spent that money on Playstation Plus, you definitely qualified. If you used one of the Playstation Plus subscription cards, then I don't think you qualified.

haha! that's what i thought! it's more bull fighting-esque (and futbol) right?
sorry about that.
Mexican doesn't mean Spanish!

Thanks guys! It was a PSN card which I funded my wallet with. I still have a penny left over, actually. Heh. Hooray, not that Guacamelee isn't worth full price, but still!
I hope that was sarcasm.
Steam maybe, but I don't know what you mean by Nintendo given their wonky account systems and more importantly, they are guilty for the same thing you were jabbing at Sony for.
When I purchased dream radar on my 3ds last October they limited me to putting $5 into my wallet despite paying through credit. The app only cost $3 but I had to put on $5 on the wallet. No biggie.
But the worst part was Nintendo charging me HST on a $3 digital app. It raised the price by 40-50 cents. Leaving me with like 1.50 on the wallet, which I thought was bullshit since no other system charges me 13% HST.
Not paying for anything on the backwards e-shop. I'll stick to physical for Nintendo and keep digital with PSN.

Has anyone gotten their $10 rebates for spending $50 last month?

Too damn much in my backlog, but hard to skip on that Plus discount. I'm gonna murder a chihuahua if it ends up free for Plus members by the time I actually get around to playing it.
That's incorrect. When Dream Radar was released you had the option to add funds in any quantity. There was a time when you couldn't but it was fixed quite a while ago.
Hello Gadirok, if you want to encourage us anyway, we'll be selling a bunch of avatars for a couple of cents each : P
Thanks for your support.
We're really glad our fellow dev's Guacamelee is getting such a great reception among gamers

Give me this early Grace Chen please!
lol, is it bad? I was thinking of getting it while on sale, but decided against at the last minute. :U
Correct. No need to feel bad, the different uses and pronounciations are really subtle for non-native speakers (in Spain it is used to accompany Flamenco dancing, thus the clapping hands, stamping feet and shouting olé!) and in the end it all just comes from the Arabs anyway.
Great OP btw
I love the pose and graphics of this game. I think the trailer used some stock music. Is the ingame music as good? That's a huge draw for me.
Also, I'd like to think "wrestlevania" is a better term than Mexicovania.

yeah, I wasn't much of a fan of the title.. but it was the overwhelming favorite in submissions in the thread when titles weer being pitched... oh well. the OT was only created last night at 10pm... at least it got done.
Guacamelee will be €12.99/£9.99, with an additional 20% off for Plus members during the first two weeks, according to the EU PS Twitter account.
EDIT: I thought I refreshed before posting. Bah!

This game looks amazing. Will be buying it for sure. Nice to get a ps+ discount, too.

PSN EU release the same week? Praise the unlikely lords!
I was also burned on Knytt Underground, and this isn't some amateur experience. This is Drinkbox, and the Tales games are fricking amazing. I have faith that Guacamelee is going to be amazing as well, even if it's just half as good as the Blob games.
not bad exactly, just pretty meh. definitely feels like an indie effort in a genre where a quality dev makes a huge difference. it seems pretty amateurish.
maybe i'll warm up to it, but first impressions were not great.

Delighted to hear it is properly priced in the EU and maintains the 20% Plus discount.
Everything about this release in terms of pricing/discounts/yopo and so forth has been wonderful. I will definitely support this with a day one purchase.
Oh and the game seems great too, heh.

Not really, Olé is mainly related to bullfighting and México has the biggest bullfighting ring in the world and the second in relevance ( behind the one in Madrid ).

Nice OT! I can't believe it's finally here!! This has been one of my most anticipated PS3/Vita titles.
