"Aren't earthquakes caused by a guy with a trident?"
The line was something like that. Thought it was pretty funny.
I bought this game a few days ago and I'm quite enjoying it, I was just wondering if the quest you don't complete because they're time-limited (I couldn't complete them because I still didn't have miners when I got them) are forever lost or if there will be the possibility to redo them later?
Not really funny, but i particularly liked the big stuff that's put to the sides as though it's no big deal
. it's the profound moments like that which really make me love the game.
BTW,
I FINALLY BEAT KING 7, FUCK YEAH BITCHES!
specifically how Bouquet occasionally talks about her father (Duvroc) and how she wish he would stop drinking

"Princess Spumoni is so kind. She let me go to town on that big mound of hers." The innuendo in this game is great and comes out of nowhere.

Now, I feel bad.
*laughs* Yeah, but I WILL be updating the Wikipedia entry and posting 6 game playthroughs, so people will at least have a better sense of what's going on. Maybe that'll spur the various translation sites to get on it?
The soundtrack is amazing and they did a great job of remixing classical pieces. I'm wondering though what song the ones used in the Onii King battle and Skinny Ray's theme are.

Can't find a video for Skinny Ray's.

I really had a blast, and still do, playing this game. Haven't beat it yet as I keep getting distracted by other games like Dragon Age and World of Warcraft (finally made it to Northrend for the first time ). I just hope this game did well sales wise. I don't think the game did massive numbers at release. Very few Wii games do and the sales numbers have to bee looked at in comparison to how much it took to make. 100K for one game might be a huge success due to the money it took to make game.
Do we know how well LKS did sales wise? Was it successful when one looks at the investment to make it? Any chance of a sequel?

I remember him saying it was 12k for the first few weeks. I'm pretty sure it'll sell enough to break even either way.

I've just gotten some more hands on time with the game, and I find it to be quite charming. The graphics really blend with the overall tone of the game, and the music really makes it a pleasure to play. Everything fits so damn well that it makes most other third party games feel like a joke.
Ahh, shit...I don't even want to imagine A boy and his blob sales.

Same here.
Niche titles tend to have niche budgets so I'd imagine the devs made the game with low sales expectations in mind. I'm looking forward to seeing the boost the holidays will give Muramasa(especially this), and ABAHB.
thanks for the numbers btw.
Oxx said:
Heh, I've actually bought HOTD:O, NMH, Muramasa, and LKS at full price. Niche devs are rolling in my cash.

So I finally got this thanks to Amazon's buy 80 get 20 deal thing they had going. Got Muramasa too actually, but popped this in first and now I don't think I'm going to be getting to Muramasa or anything else any time soon.
This game is amazing, it is so simple yet so addictive. I put in about 8 hours in the last two days which for me is a ton of play time. I haven't had this much fun with a game in a long time. The graphics are great, the story is funny, the gameplay is pure crack. It's got that "just one more day" element that My Life as a King and Pikmin and few other games seem to get. I can't believe I waited so long to pick this game up.
I really can't praise it enough, this game needs to be bought by more than 20K people. I understand a game like this doesn't have the appeal of something like MW2 but it is really sad the disparity in sales between a game like this and something like MW. I'm not bagging on MW, I like MW too, it just seems like the appeal of a game like this would be a little broader in scope than the sales numbers bear.
Is there really not 50k people in the US who want to play a game like this? There has gotta be at least 100k Pikmin fans out there that this game would appeal to. Right? Are Nintendo fan(boy)s really that averse to third party games? I just don't get it. (actually I do, marketing)
Anyway, TL;DR...the game is amazing, needs to be played by a whole lot more people.

I'm trying to clear The Sunflower Plains I think. Beat the Oni King, since then been collecting stuff for money so I could buy all of the upgrades. Got everything that I can buy at the moment, now working on clearing the quests. Taking my time probably, but I am having fun.

Even its reviews were slightly better than 37%!Hero of Legend said:
I'm a fan of The Clone Wars, but it seems the type of thing that will be sub-$20 even without a lightning deal soon enough. I bought Lightsaber Duels too soon last year.
i stink at this game.
i can't hit enemies with my people cannon. i can barely beat any of the quests without massive casualties, and i'm not sure what kind of strategies to be using other than "don't let your guys hit the enemy for more than one second before recalling them or they'll be crushed".
i'm playing on "normal" and my rpg pride won't let me downgrade to easy. some basic pointers?

Well, you should have more than a one-second window before the enemies counter-attack, but the basic strategy of attack and retreat is pretty sound.
Apart from that:
- be aware of jobs and what they do - certain jobs are 'super-effective' against some enemies
- if not, make sure you're only using the soldiers to fight
- archers are awesome at whittling down health without getting involved
- build-up your kingdom to get new jobs
- use items and armour
I found most of the game fairly straightforward, but I had a lot of problems with bosses and dropped the difficulty level down towards the end of the game.
