Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon |OT| Take ghost-busting to the Next Level
- Thread starter DaBoss
- Start date
Once you fail, it temporarily shows which stairs to take in the distance. Indicated by the torches not burning. Something along those lines. Been days since I did that boss.
The game has been very enjoyable to me. Very charming overall. But I will have to admit, as controversial as it may be, that some missions were a bit too much time consuming for a handheld game. If I was still taking public transport to get to work, this definitely wouldn't be the game I'd be playing. And I can't say I'm anxious to either replay it and/or find all the Boos either.
Regardless, the run from start to finish definitely has been an entertaining and enjoyable experience. Well worth the money, imo.
Yeah, I know that. I was just indicating that there wasn't really a pattern to follow when climbing each flight of stairs. Of course, you could just conduct some trial-and-error (which I did 97% of the time) but if you actually noted down each of flight's correct paths, it was more of a mind fuck than an actual puzzle with a proper solution.
Even though this "test" was supposed to be in place of an actual boss (that you would typically expect in a normal video game), I still think of it as a novelty than anything else, really.

I'm not sure if you're going to believe me or not (I don't blame you if you don't) but I tried doing that and the game wasn't allowing me to. To be honest, I kind of wished the multiplayer aspect was sort of deeper (or at the very least, had more ways to play). I've spent so many hours in Kid Icarus: Uprising's multiplayer mode that everything else just pales in comparison on the 3DS.

I loved how the first Luigi's Mansion gave Luigi a personality (before even Mario, who still doesn't really have one), but LM2 is even better in that regard. I genuinely feel sorry for the poor guy most of the time.
I heard you get to play as Mario if you collect everything and get three stars on each level.

I got this two days ago, FINALLY.
Man, the graphics are NICE!
The controls feel good, and the game is very smooth.
I'm excited to play more.

If you get 3 stars on every mission you get a little medal on the file select screen, and by your name in multiplayer.
K, thanks for the clarification. I don't CARE that much about losing health that lowers my rank then but I care about finding more MONEY to get a better upgrade as much as finding the cute ways to get/find these.

Me too. The characterization is excellent, especially as it is evident within the gameplay itself.

Can someone help me get that free game promotion? I've already registered my new XL and downloaded Luigis Mansion but for some reason it's not working I'm not recieving any offer?
A little help here guys!
Just bought a 3DS and still haven't registered it, and I was going to buy Mario 3D Land when I learned of this promotion.
Am I elegible to this promotion buying the digital version of Luigi's Mansion on the US eshop? Or only retail versions of the game apply?
Edit:
Wow, that's exactly what I was going to do Sneaky Gato!

Welp, that fourth boss was a pretty shitty way to end a fun mansion.
Yup, a red one!

The fundamental change to the flashlight (on->off vs. light-blast) is baffling.
Very disappointed with what I've played. Playing the game just isn't... fun? Engaging? The vision for this game clearly isn't in line with what I actually like about LM1.

Wow, this is fucking great. I'm stuck at the end of 5-2 since my Toad glitched through the floor.
I guess there are two numbers you can register on the XL. You want the pin on the club nintendo insert, I think. Digital should work too, don't see why it wouldn't.

Added you to the Friends Code list in the OP.
Make sure you registered the pin code that comes with the XL.
It should show up on the rewards page or the front page. I'm not entirely sure.

Beat the 3rd mansion boss yesterday. That battle was the first time I'd run into any hugely noticeable bugs (aside from coins and stuff getting stuck on environmental objects). LOADS of frameskips, like 1-2 seconds at a time. Made it tough to play at some points, but thankfully it wasn't a constant problem.
I actually thought it was kind of a fun boss. It felt a little more frantic-actiony than the 2nd boss.

Did anyone here NOT use their Club Nintendo code? If that's the case, I would like to buy it from you to get the free game from the NoA Club Nintendo promo.

So um...yeah, that was probably the most heartwarming ending to a game ever.

C'mon, man, #spoilers.
Sincere? I haven't touched the game since BioShock Infinite came out. Now that I've beat BI twice, I'm looking to continue LM2 from where I left off, which was the middle of the third mansion.
Ghost dog jumping up into Luigi's lap to take a nap was a total "D'awwww" moment. Happy endings for everyone!

I'm looking at the registration history and it says that I have already done that.
Did you do the surveys yet? Maybe you have to do that.

It seems specifically designed to make the player feel as good as possible after beating it. Not mysterious or thought-provoking, just sends you off with a supreme sense of satisfaction. I would compare it to one of the Paper Mario endings if you've played those. But cuter.

The intro survey? Yeah I already did that as well.
Nice! I'm just hoping that the remaining bosses (Mansion #3 and up) don't turn out as disappointing as some people make them sound. I really liked both of the bosses from the first two mansions.
What do you mean by "intro survey"? The one where you sign up? There are surveys for the XL and the game that should show up.

It says I have nothing else to do. In fact none of the games I've purchased are showing up.

4th boss is pretty shit if you don't get...well, I don't want to say "lucky", but there's little room for error.
Others are alright.
Not sure what's happening then. Sorry, I don't know what to do.
Ask people here since many of them have did it: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=513341

I would say about 1/2-5/8 the size of the original for each mansion. Considering that I can beat the first game in like four hours, that seems like a fair estimate.
So in total, you have like 3x the amount of areas to explore.
