Ugggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I know, it's totally 16-bit.

 

[rikichi]

fuck this, still havnt beat the first level yet :lol

 

[anddo0]

The game isn't bad so far, but range and hit detection are issues for me. If you stand too close to an enemy, you won't hit them at all, and player hit range is pretty short with no special attacks that increase it (like Wolverine's claws in the X-Men arcade game). Player movement outside of dashing seems pretty slow, too. The game feels strangely slow in comparison to something like Turtles in Time.

They say that each character has a unique move set, but it seems more like each character takes a unique combination from a pile of common attacks.

The lack of online coop means I'll only be able to play with people on weekends. This isn't a huge deal, but the game isn't a ton of fun to play on your own.

So far, I'm pretty lukewarm on the game.

That's my biggest issues with the game thus far. It's not a bad game, but I find myself swinging at air an awful lot.

So far, I'm finding myself saying "this is really not a bad game...but it's not a great game either".

 

[Agent White]

must have pic of park scene after boss :lol and any others as well. wish we could get the soundtrack or at least a music player

 

[Vanillalite]

So did we ever figure out for sure what the pricing deal is for non preorders on PSN and XBLA?!?!?!

It's $10 on PSN.

 

[Adam J.]

Just beat the first level.

As someone with a lifelong obsession with 2D scrolling beat'em ups, I am absolutely giddy with excitement over this game. So excited that I feel like trashing my room.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Scott's rental fees :lol :lol :lol

Maybe I'm missing something but i can't seem to find the stats on an item before purchasing it. It'll pop up after I buy it, sure, but how am I supposed to know if it's any good if I can't tell what it does beforehand?

 

[Grayman]

What's with the vegetarian screen? Is that based off something? I'd hate to think the developers are preaching to me. It's bad enough my monitor does it about my carbon footprint.

The one in the attract loop is this

which was in arcade machines.

 

[BobTheFork]

I take back what I said: I turned the difficulty down for the main game and I can't beat the first level yet. I'm having a really hard time blocking anything and the 'counter' hasn't worked yet. I had it freeze once too but I still like the game so far.

 

[VeryGooster]

Holy fuck, I suck at this game. I went with "Rough & Tough," which I guess is Medium or something, and got my ass kicked however far in to the first level. I got attacked by a dog that did like 75 damage, or something! Shit!

With that said, even in the first level, I am absolutely loving the atmosphere and the throwback to other games.

 

[The Elite]

Started on the easiest level. Still fucking hard.

 

[thetrin]

The combat is not as solid as I had hoped, but the game sure is fun. I was also hoping they'd use Paul Robertson's sprite prowess a little more.

I thought the same at first, but it gets better as you level up.

Based on the first and second level, this game is AWESOME.

 

[The Elite]

According to character data there are two unlockable characters.

 

[discohiro]

Just missed the trophy on Matthew Patel. Demon Hipster Chick hit me with a fireball, and I lost a life. Only needed to land one more hit on him... GRRRRRR

 

[Grayman]

based on the demo it did seem to me like the combat would get better after leveling up. the help screens say characters will speed up at least.

 

[BobTheFork]

Ok, The number one tip I can give is to use the stick not the d-pad.
The main reason is that you can instant run by pressing the analog stick all the way out instead of double-tapping. That means you can launch dash attacks instantly all the time and spam them and hit people on the ground. Low dash, low dash, then hit them while down. Use the throw if they get up then low dash and spam hits while they are down again.

 

[ismaboof]

I pushed start and the game froze

 

[Bebpo]

what's up with half the time you sitting there while the enemies are on the ground invincible? Are there no ground attacks besides picking enemies up?

Oh, the slide hits downed enemies? Ok, cool. I hate just sitting there waiting for them to get back up.

 

[darkressurection]

I echo the sentiments of others and say that this game is FUCKING HARD! It is really fun though, I am actually surprised I managed to beat Patel without losing a life.

 

[rollingstart]

was that a sprite of

Spoiler

Edgar Wright

in the second level? :lol

slide attack

first thing you get when you level up. forward forward square

and yeah, this game is tough.

 

[Baha]

Either pick up the enemy and throw them over and over again or dash kick them when they're on the ground or throw/kick an item at them.

 

[Vanillalite]

A big reason why this game is "tough" is because as Hil said in the IGN review it feels like the game is balanced for multiplayer. The game doesn't scale down if your going it solo. I'd imagine the game could be rather easy if you had 4 people all going at it, but going it alone could be slightly overwhelming.

 

[VeryGooster]

I pushed start and the game froze

I fell into a giant pit in the middle of the street and instead of dying, I got stuck there until I "jumped out" and the game glitched out. Had to restart from the map.

 

[Persona7]

How do I fix the shitty controls?

Also, froze twice and the music stops playing randomly in the middle of gameplay and doesn't work until I exit the game and restart it.

The controls are pretty meh. The Quick Tap left stick option is better than double tap (because it's a thumb stick, not a fucking arcade stick), but it's still pretty inconsistent.

*shrug* I hit lvl 3 by the end of the demo, and it didn't improve the combat for me that much. Not to mention that the counter is a big ??? for me.

The controls is the sole reason I didn't buy this right away. A few glitches I can stand, but the controls need some serious work.

 

[thetrin]

Scott Pilgrim vs. GAF

To be honest, I'm willing to give this game quite a few chances. I'm a big Scott Pilgrim fan. This game is just not wowing me so far. I'll the demo in multiplayer, and we'll see what happens from there.

 

[BobTheFork]

At lvl 5-6 ou unlock a down hit that can hit enemies while on the ground. You just hold down and press square. That's how you are going to get most of the damage.

Someone is going to have to explain to me why it takes until Level 5 to unlock such an essential attack.

I got killed to figure out the timing on counter but it whupped a guys ass when i hit it.

 

[johnsmith]

You can hit enemies on the ground like at level 2 with the slide attack.

video games, even old school throwbacks, are now made for retards.

 

[BobTheFork]

Tip number 2: get the books first.
In the first level there is a book stores, just like RCR lol.
buy cheap snacks and save the money for the books. Use the vegan cookbook and 101 push ups first. This will up the Atk and Def and make the first level much easier.

 

[Adam J.]

Gameplay is perfect to me. It's crunchy as hell and when you punk a hipster kid in the face it feels so good. Still haven't figured out how to use the summon (think it's the L1 button).

Do books stack? I bought the 101 push-ups and then the get rich quick book and I feel like my dmg decreased.

 

[ismaboof]

I'm in a store but can't move or press start. Fuck this game was not tested to the level it should have been. Restart the game and it didn't save my leveling.

Fuck this shit.

 

[BobTheFork]

Because it takes less than an hour to unlock it and if you are playing on the easier difficulty you don't even need that move. I like that you need to lvl up to beat the levels.

They stack. I bought one of each book and I have more in each stat now.

 

[V_Ben]

I got the Patel Trophy

 

[rollingstart]

yeah, it's a bad move. I get having some things as unlocked as you level up, but it really helps.

They also don't tell you what items do before you have them.

Wait, there's a book store in the first level?

I'm totally for unlocking things over time. My thing is that I like essential moves and helpful attacks to be unlocked from the start, and leveling merely affect their potency.

 

[V_Ben]

yeah, there is! In the shopping district.

 

[thetrin]

Wait, you can go into buildings in levels?

 

[hamchan]

Nooooooooooooooooo

How sad that this game has issues

 

[Volcynika]

The ones that appear to be open!

 

[thetrin]

More than anything, the combat is deeply flawed. Sorry!

The ones that appear to be open!

Wait, some stores appear to be open?

 

[BobTheFork]

lol yes if the front door is lit.
There is a sushi place, coffe shop, video store (awesome lol), and a book store. A secret shop as well.
