:D We tried everything. It was a tiny room with a bed, we had more than 2 minutes left & we tried the black light, the vacum & pressing X everywhere.

It already happened to me twice & it was always on a room with a bed...

Same happened to me, but I wasn't too far so it didn't piss me off.

Beat normal and hard on Hunter! f the description is anything to go by I assume Expert isn't possible playing solo. I'm playing more multiplayer, or in this case solo multiplayer than the actual game (just beat the 2nd mansion and I have yet to 100% it).

Hey guys! I made an MP3 of the Dual Scream ringtone. You can make it your ringtone, or whatever. Enjoy!

It's the first fifteen seconds, after this it loops back to the start. I know the iPhone doesn't take much longer ringtones, so this should be perfect. If you want a longer loop, let me know and I can do that easily.

Thank you based-WatTsu

I don't know how the friend code thing is working, or if i can add myself to the friend code list, but I'd be up for a game of screamscape, do I have to add everyone on the FC list in order for them to be able to add me?

Anyways my code is 2337-2903-2387 and I've been playing this game quite a bit the last few days so it should show me as playing.

Friend Code is easy - You and your friend input each others code, that's there all there is to it!

What the hell, encountered a bug in the multiplayer. None of us managed to get a ghostpup out of a closet, and a nearby vase was floating in the air. We lost due to that :(

Gosh I really hope they patch this. Though I haven't encountered any yet for myself, some of these bugs are sounding quite problematic.

Haven't played multi but I've definitely encountered a few random glitches where Luigi gets stuck in a falling animation. Luckily I've been able to get out of them without the need to restart (or I would have raged).

What the hell, I'm struggling so much on E2 right now, I have no idea what to do next.
I lit all the teleport circles on the first floor and the huge plant monster is blocking a Toad painting and I have no bucket to grow the spike ball, what do I do now?
I bet it's something in the center/courtyard

There is a bucket in the
medieval room IIRC

The tear shaped gem in mansion 1 simply does not exist, I have explored every nook and cranny and it is nowhere to be found.

Some things that would make the game a lot better:

a freeroam level for each mansion to collect gems/boos
drop in for ongoing multiplayer
ability to turn off gyro functions

That first boss was fucking INCREDIBLE. The best boss fight design I've experienced in a long time. Major props to Next Level Games.

I've been enjoying the hell out of the game so far. Does it get better? ;)

The mansions get better, the boss fights get worse unfortunately.

I've been progressing pretty well through the second mansion, haven't been stuck yet and I've been finding all the gems so far. The only thing I'm missing is the boo in the third mission I think. I think I'll finish the mansion first before going back to that one.

It's there.
Don't lose your head over it.
Also, collecting all the boos and searching for the gems in the bonus level works I think.

I just completed the 25 floor Hunter mode on Hard with another gerl from POPGAF and it was a damn mess. The last couple of floors were vicious.

One floor started on an icy room surrounded by hockey stick wielding green ghosts. Chaos.

The worst is when you have a completely cramped room with a fat ghost and some of those purple ones that scare you. Such a damn pain in the ass.

B-3 is probably the most charming
Escort Mission
I've ever played in a video game. Had a smile on my face the whole time.

EDIT:
And since this is kinda of covered in the mission itself, are there any tips for dodging effectively? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The timing varies from enemy to enemy I've found.

Just wanted to poke my head in and say how much I'm enjoying this game. I'm guessing I'm about halfway through and it just keeps on giving.

Genuinely excited for the next time I get to sit down and play it. Can't wait to find out what their next project is.

I just beat the first boss with a big smile on my face.

If Nintendo still knows how to do games like this, their future is safe.

The bosses are meh, but I only had one game over in the single player mode (caused by stupid tightrope walking on a bus). Nothing was particularly challenging except for that last event on the 5th mansion.

At least 2 is the worst. I mean that was dreadful.
Click to expand...

Yeah
the first part of the second boss feels like something from Super Paper Mario, then you just fight THE average boss. At least his form does make sense, and you can still think "hey the ghosts are joking on me!", but comparing it with the first boss or even the mid boss of the second mansion is painful. Still, I felt more frustration with the first Luigi's Mansion (PAL ver.)

Just fought the second boss.
Climbing the stairs wasn't really frustrating, got it at the third try after I was able to remember the last 8 or so blue flames that would light up but it wasn't particularly fun. The "real" boss at the end was easy but it's there to reward the player that has figure out the first stairs part so yeah...

I guess they wanted something different & original which it is, but it pales in comparison with the first boss.

Just reached the 4th mansion.

Love, love, love this game!

Only had trouble finding the teardrop gem in the 1st mansion. It was so much more elusive compared to the rest of the gems I've found so far.

Hmm I think I'm going to keep out of this thread for a bit, that way there's no way I'll be messing up my spoiler tags, and I'm not going to be spoiled by some of the mechanics discussion going on around here which I'd rather discover by myself.

Onwards to the third mansion

This must be one of the less (or worst) tested Nintendo games in the last years. I've already been stuck in the ground of a room, suffered a Toad which wouldn't move and couldn't be hooved and the missing keys in the online three times.

Thankfully the game benefits from the mission structure so you won't find any game-breaking bug, but holy shit it is painful to restart a mission after 35 minutes exploring every inch.

at last, for christ's sake

MY GOD some people playing online are SO stupid and annoying.

Maybe I'm cursed. Everytime in rush mode there is one fucker who runs around clearing rooms while we wait in the hatch room and of course we end up losing because of him in the first three floors.

Everytime in hunt mode there is one fucker thinking he can handle the 7+ ghosts in the room by himself and obviously that helping dead people is beneath him. Of course we all lose because of him.

Everytime in Polterpup mode there is a fucker constantly letting dogs escape and we eventually lose because of him.

What in the world, people.

Ew, that doesn't sound good. Yeah, that laundry list of bugs is definitely not something you see a lot of in a Nintendo game. Unfortunately, they don't seem all that proactive when it comes to updates and patches for their individual games. They do, however, seem to dedicate plenty of resources to blocking outdated flash cards from a last-generation system.

As an aside, damn, I hope my copy comes today. Tired of looking through this thread and reading about how "awesome" this game is.
