What an amazing and fun game. Every time I get to a boss I have this huge smile on my face.

Yeah, the game gets a big thumbs up for getting me to laugh out loud and smile at the references and goofy humor, but especially the enemy monsters and their names and bios. Arkedo's love for the absurd and retro is much appreciated.

For anyone who plays the demo, if you think it feels like a pushover or is too light on depth, you should know that the boss fight starts right after the demo ends and, from there, it goes much deeper down that (ha!) rabbit hole with crazy funny shit, like the Island where you force defeated baddies into servitude, researching new powerups, mining you extra cash flow, and other stuff. You divvy up the preferred workload in a simplified XCOM or Civ style. Of course, new powerups and abilities come shortly after demo's end.

Played the demo for a few and right off the jump, there are two things I don't like. First is the level design. Well, not so much the design, but the look of things. Everything is so vibrant and pretty, but I sometimes have no idea what's on my path and what isn't. Probably brought up already, but yeah.

The second is a problem that I seem to have with EVERY Sega title outside of F-Zero GX. The analog control is pretty bad, and so is the momentum and weight. It just doesn't feel good at all. I like everything else though...I think.

The Gamespot review is by McShae, I've yet to read a competent review by him - even for games where I agree with the score (which are not too many). Hell Yeah is a lot of fun, has tight platforming (something a guy like McShea who calls himself a fan of platformers should appreciate), nice Wario Ware-style mini games and a great style. Level design is also nice, especially for a download game. A bit of Mega Man, a bit of Jazz Jackrabbit (mainly in style), a barrel of blood, tight platforming, a dose of Wario Ware and a world structured a bit like a classic Metroid (that doesn't mean it plays anything like Metroid though, it's still mostly a linear experience - which is absolutely fine for this game) makes for an intriguing combination, I can definitely recommend this game :).

Yeah I just spotted that on the UK site, even though they still have expired games (Darksiders & Renegade Ops) in the same banner.
It's out tomorrow in EU.

I just did my part.
People wake up and buy this gem!
It's fucking awesome, and it's also probably the funniest game... ever.
I literally couldn't stop laughing while playing it at E3.

Well I figured i'd try the trial before jumping straight in but alas i've been besieged by an unbudging loading screen twice now after the opening cutscene, I know PS3 stuttering issues were mentioned in the other thread, I wonder if this relates to that.
PAL PSN verison here by the way.

Pharoah, you probably already know this but it looks like MS messed up when putting Hell Yeah up for sale on at least the GB and Swedish marketplaces.

On xbox.com there is a Buy option on the side of the page but the normal demo and Full game options aren't available.

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-gb/P...acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258410b92?noSplash=1

On the 360, the game doesn't appear in the latest Arcade game section. You can find it via search but it leads you to the Game page (Overview, details, extras etc) but there is no Buy game option or Demo download option.

The only way to buy it currently is clicking through an ad panel on the dashboard. That will lead you to the Game page (slightly different than the other one mentioned. Overview, details, gallery. Clicking the See full game panel will take you to the game page mention previously) where there is a purchase option.

I installed this before I left for work and checked out some of the settings. Can't wait to play but my only gripe is no 1440x900 support? Looks like I'm playing it windowed.

Played this game for a little over an hour the other night, and the stuttering on PS3 is pretty bad. I'm playing on a 2ish month old slim, and died quite a few times during a stutter over spikes (would have quit sooner, but instant respawn helps). The stuttering seems to happen less frequently if you're using the default hat/blade, but it's still a serious problem and that removes some of the hilarity/fun.

Waiting for a patch, unless one went out yesterday that I haven't seen yet.

I played the Steam demo of this and I was extremely impressed. How is this game not getting more responses in this thread. Do some people not like it?

got it on steam, I jus tried to play it,

it wasnt made for 2D controllers...

it didnt let me configure my saturn pad, and I considered joy2key until I saw there are way too many controls for that to be a feasible thing

(u use right stick to aim your gun, dpad to change weapons, lots of shoulder button stuff)

oh well guess I gotta save the game for a rainy day

-EDIT-

ok, I tried again with my Final Fantasy USB controller, which has all the shoulder buttons and analog sticks.

still doesnt work, the game doesnt recognize my gamepad at all...

my only option if I wanna play this game is mouse and keyboard, and that's no fun at all

(I bought this game to have fun btw)

or buy an xbox controller? which I assume the game was meant to be played on? coz I dont have one :(

I like the gameplay, but not being able to jump and shoot at the same time has quickly become an issue. I'm now in
the Casino world,
and there's this green boss moving around in a box full of spikes you can't jump into, so you need to shoot him from an opening in the middle while he's also shooting things at you. You clearly need to be able to jump and shoot down through the opening, because you need to avoid his projectiles but it's not physically possible to press the buttons this way on the controller. Perhaps I'm missing something really obvious, but that's flipping dumb design whichever way you look at it.

Minigames were fun until one has caused me to have to redo a certain section several times. It was the sniper one and I constantly couldn't find the target in time.

Trying to still enjoy playing this game, but it's getting harder the farther I go.

I got it with PS+
PLayed to the second level, but this game really needs a patch on ps3.
Every time the game autosaves it starts to stutter and hang.
I've had 2 lock-ups now, every time when the auto-save activates.
I wouldn't be surprised if it corrupted my save data at some point.

Please look in to this Arkedo

agreed on all points. not beeing able to shoot and jump at the same time is a huge flaw.
the sniper minigame made me rage-quit the game yesterday and really pissed me off. i hope the game goes back on track, the first world was awesome. but after that, it was downhill.

Played the ps3 version up to ~40 monsters so far, while iam really having fun with the game itself, i feel like there is a huge issue with the controller layout. It's not possible to rebind keys unless i missed something and due to jump being x, aim being right trigger and shoot being r2 jumping and shooting at the same time seems really, really awkward.

Also, is there a way to go to the island without returning to the main menu first?

Edit: beaten in complaint due to making breakfast while posting :(

Seconded.

Also, please let me swap R1/L1 - R2/L2 functions. Can't believe there are still devs out there that haven't realized which DS3 shoulder buttons are supposed to be the primary ones.

In any case, game is a rather fun (although it's beginning to get a bit repetitive -
I'm past the space section
) and full of humor. Plus, and that's a big plus mind you, 60fps. So good.

This feels like it may turn out to be a stupid question as I progress further, but uh, how do you collect the fruits of your minions' labors on The Island? I don't get it, I have 30 monsters slaving away but nothing seems to be happening...

Just wait until the end of that level, the motocross tricks are going to make you smash your console and your TV if the sniper minigame made you rage quit.

Really liking the game so far apart from the insta-death on the spikes.

I had some audio stuttering (but no effect on the actual gameplay) in the first area but none in the second so far. It sounds like it gets to the end of one music track and just plays the last tone of the track until the next track is loaded. Playing on a original JPN PS3 with the 60gig drive it came with if you are keeping track.


aku:jiki, I've only had one present from the island (30$). I went to the island from the main menu and then had to click on one of the regions and there was a present waiting for me. Not sure if it was a result of the slave labour or just a one off item.

When something happens on the island, that area will be highlighted on the island map. Go there and there will be a treasure chest.

I got a life reward fairly quickly with only 10 monsters working, I don't know if it's related to real time or game progress though. You have to exit to the main menu and check the island manually, you won't get a notification in the main game.

Got it for free from PS+ yesterday!!!! Haven't given it a spin yet but I think it'll be good!!!

Loved the giantbomb quicklook.

Gametrailers gave it a really shitty score though.

I wonder how this PS+ thing works though, do the developers get any money for each game downloaded per plus account?

It's a global deal between Sony and the publisher beforehand.
Usually it's a lump sum, and the amount is based on a forecast for the average number of subscribers who will actually download the game (free does not mean 100% will want it). They do not precisely count each actual download :)

Nice, thanks for posting this, I think it's the first time we've had any concrete info on how PS+ works. Hope you did well out of the deal, I'm really enjoying the game.

Hopefully this bugger will be downloaded from PSN by the time I'm home.

I managed to play a bit at the Eurogamer Expo (no thanks to the people that were sat there actually trying to finish the game) and loved it to pieces. Insane action and a humourous story are right up my alley.
