Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon |OT| Take ghost-busting to the Next Level

Not sure if there's an easier way, but there will be no flames for a bit on the staircases that are correct, and you just kind of have memorize which ones. That's how I did it at least.

Yeesh. That's what I was afraid of. As you get up higher, it's more difficult to get up there in time to see what's what. Ah well, I'll work with what I've got.
As an aside, I'm not sure why, but the game's not quite grabbing me. I think very highly of it, and there's a lot to really love about it. Perhaps it's just my mood right now, but it's not really holding my attention.
Yep, just the flames going out as mentioned.
If you run up quickly enough you can get a good view of which ones are clear for at least a few floors.

Just beat mansion #3. That boss was brutal in some spots. Still managed to 3 star the stage though. Only missing one gem and two Boos.
As an aside, I know the Gamespot review got a lot of flak from people here, but I found myself pretty much penned in a corner unable to move or suck or anything against a certain type of enemy. I went from 50 health to 0 struggling to get free. Lucky for me I had a bone and was able to revive and eventually get free. Really awful feeling not being able to move and not being able to suck anything so you can't dodge. Just at the mercy of maybe being able to break free.

Honestly I'd love a new HD Wii U game, which follows more along the lines of the original (in terms of structure and atmosphere).

There's something about this game, man. I can't put it down. I feel like I'm seven or eight again with a N64 and Super Mario 64. Why is my girlfriend's nine year old brother playing Black Ops 2 and Red Dead Redemption when he could be playing this? Why did I abandon games like this so long ago? Playing Zelda: OoT (for the first time ever), Super Mario 3D Land, and Luigi's Manson 2 have made me realize I have been playing violent shooters for far too long. It's nice to get away from the violence.
I collected all amethysts and boos in the first mansion and I'm about to finish up the second mansion. This game rocks. Would have been nice to see some friends leaderboards, though.

The music started to slowly drive me insane after a while...
Get all four red coins in a two man game, still don't get the bonus.
Feels bad
How does it work anyway? Is it random, with a bonus chance for each coin ?

Bloody hell, do I buy this or Monster Hunter? Got 2 hours of travel a day, I think MH would be best for it but this game looks fun.
Buy both, it's the only solution.

This first then MH. Not based on how good they are but you'll sink a lot of time into MH so its probably best to get through this first.
Have to say this game is quite wonderful. Basically why Nintendo are the Disney of the games industry. Their most cinematic game yet, so good.

Thats exactly how it works.
But like he said it seems to just fuck you, despite working hard for those coins.
Yup, that's it. In the long run, the more annoying part was that they didn't really know how to play the Poulterpup floors or get rid of curses, which ended up biting us in the ass around floor 22

Are you playing with randoms? Set up a game on gaf.

Just an FYI, I haven't played much of Polterpup games!
I was earlier, yes. Just had some free time earlier in the day, so decided to play a round or so.
Well, basically at the start, use the darklight to find pawprints. You follow those and you'll find a doghouse that they're hiding in. After that, they'll run off to other rooms, and you follow the footprints to an object, press X, they'll pop up and you catch them like any other ghost. The game I was referring to, I had to find all of them myself -_-

Yup, I confirm this!!!!
Played my completed save game through the unlockable BOO mission at mansion 1 to 3 and I can get the hidden gems which is only available in spesific missions, all in one single run .
No need to guess in which mission these specific and rare gems are, just play the unloveable BOO mission to get them all..

So how much this game has sold so far? I read in a blog it was around 350-400k only in Japan so I guess it should be around 800-850 worldwide. I guess it could hit the million mark by the end of this week
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/03/29/luigis-mansion-dark-moon-sells-85-of-shipment/
I'm not sure if this is the most up to date info, but that's what I could find.
It pretty much sold 391K for nearly 2 weeks worth of sales according to Media-Create.

Beat the third boss earlier today and what a fucking stupid boss fight it was. I'm surprised I didn't die during the whole thing. Easily the most frustrating thing I've experienced in the game so far

Straight up, I glanced and then scrolled really fast because it was unfamiliar. I'm lucky I caught that, I def don't want to be spoiled.
Don't the Toads kind of respawn? Try going up the stairs and forcing it. Yes I know this is hours later.Although he appears on the map, the purple Toad disappeared and now I can't finish E-2. Come on Nintendo, the game is great but is buggy as hell...
Just seen the credits and overall I'd say it is an enjoyable game. Need to aim for the gems and boos now.
EDIT: And I guess I can check out the online mode as well now.
I also had a bug related with the Toad in the same room yesterday. I hoovered one of the Toads to carry it to the second floor faster, but it ended up floating in the air and I couldn't carry him with me again. To be honest, I think it's my fault for fooling around, but still...Although he appears on the map, the purple Toad disappeared and now I can't finish E-2. Come on Nintendo, the game is great but is buggy as hell...
I had to restart the mission, and it's been the longest one so far.

I know of at least one prior to that in the second mansion, and one in the first.
I'd like that, but the mission structure could be adapted to that formula quite well I think. Have a regular set of mansions that you complete like in LM1 and then have a bunch of unlockable missions.
Flesh out the multiplayer mode (more levels, different modes) and LM3 would be a winner.
It's charting in a lot of Europe, I know it had some decent pre-orders. I don't think the game will have a problem hitting 1 million worldwide by the end of April.

I just beat this. I'm missing 3 boos and 3 gems in each mansion, I ended up with 16:36 on the clock. I actually feel that the game could have stood to be a couple missions longer in a few places, but it was really fantastic. That last boss though,
I haven't really touched ScareScraper yet, but I did add my FC to the Google Doc. If you guys are gonna do some MP, lemme know!
That last boss though,
I was walking in circles for what seemed like 5 minutes before I figured out what to do. I was trying to roll the spike balls into King Boo.
I would go with Monster Hunter. The constant hand holding from the professor turns annoying at the third mansion.
Just aim for the middle first, then you probably won't even have to move your cursor more than once, and just keep shooting. That's what I did at least
I'm honestly surprised that people are finding this boss so problematic (not trying to offend, genuinely surprised).
My only assumption as to why is people try to move the cursor when you should really keep it in one place (except for maybe the smaller middle parts) and time your shots.
Yeah, I beat that boss on my second try. The only reason it took that long is because I didn't realise at first that it was timed lol. Don't panic, just time your shots and, like others have said, aim for the middle first and foremost.
That being said, while it's a cool boss in terms of concept, but I can see why people had a hard time with it. Penultimate and final bosses were pretty neat though, no complaints there.

Man I really need to get back to playing the game. I've slacked this week. still have to beat the last two mansions. lol Probably start back tomorrow.
Yeah that's my guess as well.
Because in that boss, (Manor D Boss spoilers) you have
. This created so much unneeded pressure. Not to mention that even with the
. The first couple of time I did manage to
I couldn't for the life of me (or Luigi in this case)
because you have to
which I didn't know.
It was just an unbelievably frustrating experience and I'm glad to be done with it.
In fact I've completed the game! Yay! Now I'm going back through and collecting everything.
two time-limits. One is your sleigh which is overheating because only god knows why and then you have where the boss himself reforms after a while
3D enabled it was still hard (for me) to gauge the freak's distance to even time my shots well
strip the ice armor
get the damn bomb to go into its mouth
aim up so the bombs bounced

EDIT: Manor D Boss spoilers below and above!
What? No way. I swear that didn't work for me. Unless
the first miss cancels out any following attempt (shoot a bomb, miss sound, monster is close by the time another bomb loads up, shoots again, miss sound, monster eats luigi)
