Thank you guys for saying that combat will get better after the trial. But I only have 1760 points or something so I think I'll buy Limbo.

Beat EviLore at pool.
Game is fun and hard. Plus I am using my arcade stick which is boss. Wish it had online co-op though.

EDIT: - to clarify for the new page - "Tried to get co op working last night. To save progress I made new profiles called Kim, Ramona, and Steve. However, when my pals signed in and we tried to play the game locked up or ran sluggish. If they play as guests it works fine. Help
How do I get this so my co op buddies can save their progress AND not kill my game?"Vanillalite

This is gonna sound dumb but whatever.
So I just started playing on the 360, but I'm not sure how to use items you buy to go?
I'm in the 1st level, and went into the coffee shop. I got an item to go just like in RCR, but I'm not sure how to use the item now? I see the little icon when I press start, but no clue where to go to actually drink my expresso?

It's easy to miss but when you buy an item to go it shows up as a Snack near your health. The next time you "die," it'll use the snack automatically to revive you.
Espresso to go, I'm not sure how it works. It'll either make you hyper on your next life or not work at all.

I was wondering why everyone thought the 2nd boss was so hard until I got to him. :lol :lol
I was chilln in vent and just blurted out omg the boss just fuck'n kicked my ass! :lol :lol
Yeah I can definitely see why people said it was alot easier after leveling or just spending some cash. Ditto on the complaint though about not seeing what each item will do for you until after you buy it. That might have been an overlooked flaw in the NES days, but it was a WTF is this shit problem to me now.

It's also a bit clunky at first until you start unlocking a couple moves and level up your stats a bit.fernoca said:

nah, anyone that can't rock with the initial moveset is bitch
I don't think the 2nd boss is horrible, you just have to learn to use your special move when his skateboarding bros come to ollie into you, and then attack using the skateboards
OK FINE, the throw move is really necessary for when the enemies start turtling

How much better does the combat get after the trial? Seemed, clunky. Even for RCR clone. I also thought the difficulty was hard as fuck solo in the trial with all the pauses and weird moments where my attacks wouldn't register (XBLA version) even though I'm standing next to the guy and he isn't blocking. Does the difficulty at least become fair later on? Or is it much more manageable in coop?
Frankly I am in love with Scott Pilgrim but buying a game that will continually punish me is kind of a turn off. Got the points waiting and everything.

Technically the combat gets better, as you get better. Since the game relies on leveling up the character, learning new moves and picking/using items it depends.enzo_gt said:
You'll sometimes may need to play an area a few times and die a lot, just to level up; in order to actually beat that area and move on.

Well the big thing is there's an evasive roll move that's hella useful but it doesn't unlock for quite a few levelups. Big mistake not putting that in there early on. Hell the same could be said for most of the moves that get unlocked via levelups. It should have been set up so that getting levelups unlocked wild special moves and stuff, for more flavor in the combat and to give skilled players some cool tricks to play around with. Instead a lot of the unlocked moves tend to be the kinds of things we almost take for granted in a beatemup. Then again I'm only about halfway through unlocking Ramona's moveset so she probably gets cool stuff like shohammeryukens and whatevs.
Still it's fun stuff and the "physics" engine(which was lifted straight from RCR) is wonderful. Killing people by juggling them with objects is great.
What is the deal with that counter move btw? I've only played the game a couple hours yet I've never pulled it off despite hammering the B button pathetically.
Kind of feeling like grabbing River City Ransom EX now. I already have the original but the remake adds a ton of way cool stuff that I never bothered to mess around with last time I played the game.

Does the XBLA version have drop in/drop out? Or at least can I start a game with 2 of my friends, level up, quit, and get back into the game with us all on the same level? How much replayability is there exactly? Do the codes disable achievements? A lot of them sound really cool. Is Lisa in the game?
/paranoid about spending mspts after downloading some really shitty xbla games.
And yeah that press B to counter didn't work well in actual situations in the trial.

Neither the PS3 nor the 360 version have drop in/out.enzo_gt said:
They can only join during the character selection screen. Though, unlike the PS3 version; they can't join as guests. So you need create individual profiles for each. (So the money exploit from the PS3 can't be done on the 360; as far as I know)
Each character that levels up, is saved to the individual profile. Basically, if you want to level up all characters, you have to play with each character on the same profile.
Replayability depends on how much you want to play. Max Level is currently 18. And nope, codes don't disable achievements.
Just bought this on a whim.
The game keeps having these freezing issues; it happens like once every 20 seconds or so, the game and sound freezes for a half second then everything is back to normal. My g/f thinks they might be intentional, to emulate "old game glitches", but goddamn is it annoying.
Anybody else having these "issues"? Are they issues at all?

i really had no expectations aside from what the screenahots relayed to me. that being (as someone mentioned) an updated river city ransome style brawler.fernoca said:
but come on. it's clunky. i feel like his arms are too short or some shit, and he never connects hits. i also keep wanting to grab people but cant so far (upgrade move?)
it's also quite boring. it's drop-dead gorgeous however. still, being disappointed is being disappointed. it's as simple as that.

Well to be fair River City Ransom didn't have grabs either.
Thanks for the replies, guys. What I meant was, If I start a coop game with my 2 friends on their profiles, and say we get to the third evil ex, but I have to turn the xbox off. When I turn it back on, will all out characters be leveled (obviously on their respective profiles) up to and will we be able to continue from where we left off?
Odd question I know, sorry.

I dunno... never say never. I'd be surprised if there wasn't some sort of followup depending on sales... It needn't be Scott Pilgrim licensed (but it might be nice to see more Paul Robertson art/Anamanaguchi music)ICallItFutile said:

This is pretty great. I'm playing on normal (middle? Rough and tough?) and it's hard as balls :lol. Well, it was, until I started playing better / juggling better etc. I really wish it had online co-op, though. Oh well. So much better than Shank.
Actually beat the third boss only doing like 2-3 HP a hit, is that normal? The same old brawler staple of jabbing then walking a little bit up/down still works :lol (Except for
. Fuck you,
.)

I've just had my first console freeze with this game (360). They sure let a few bugs slip through with this one.
In a level it got stuck and wouldn't let me progress even after I'd killed all the baddies, so I kill myself and go back to the main menu then it freezes and I can't do anything. Oh well. It saved I believe.
Good game though.

Yeah there are some tracks not in it. Mostly short stuff or stuff that loops quick.

IDK... I gotta admit on the 360 version last night at least through stage 1 and 2 I didn't encounter any bugs. Everything seemed to run smoothly both in terms of the video and no weird music bugs either. Been smooth for me here, but maybe I'm just missing it (or think it's just part of the game or something! :lol )

Well, the game actually froze on me completely for the first time. I had to reset my 360.
This is going to be in my top 5 games for the year for sure. I love pretty much everything about it. The levelling/character powering stuff is done so well. Absolutely love being able to beast after buying some of the 100+ dollar stuff.

You know that one point where the bus arrives in the first stage? Errh well the second time around? I managed to get hit by the bus before it even appeared. =/
I think I was all coked up and did a super jump and then boom as soon as the !! appeared I got hit.

It's hard-locked the system three or four times in the past 3 days, and prior to that not at all.
I'm at the last level with Kim, and once I beat it with her I just have to beat it with Stephen. The game is so much faster with characters that are level 16/all stats at 100. Sometimes too fast though as some characters, when they jump, jump further than they need to and I fall in a lot of spike pits. :/
