Now I can finally resume the actual campaign... after completing the faction missions.
Holy shit, how long did that take you? I've played for 25 hours and haven't even discovered most locations yet, let alone 100% them :O

Ffffffff, one day. This map gets the OCD spinning, I'm always wandering off to 100% random locations. Lol.

yea I know. but like the doc suggest, his Store is offline for now :/
I got about 3 hours into JC2 and put it down.
The Cookie-cutter missions were just too boring.
Jase just powers through that kind of stuff though.
I don't know man, it feels really boring. I believe I know what to do with the seeds and all, it's just that I don't feel like waiting for the pink one to grow (why does it have to be so sloooow?), and it's purely trial and error so far.Everyone thinks that at first. The first part of the game is really about that confusion and discovering the game mechanics. It usually takes 60-90 minutes until it clicks for people. Just watch the reactions in the game to what you are doing closely and you'll eventually get behind it. I really liked the way the game made me explore its mechanics instead of a game world, and it reminded me of the sensations of exploring games back when I wasnt someone who already played what feels like every game concept that ever existed. I guess it just just confuses people because they arent used to exploring mechanics anymore without being guided, which is also why I think its such a terrific little game as it does a remarkably good job at pointing that out. Once you get over that initial phase, it becomes a very challenging, even a bit traditional puzzle game, but I stopped playing then. The highlight was the beginning.
I recommend letting it rest for now and setting aside one hour eventually to just playing around with it when you are in a relaxed and unhurried mood.
Not at all, and I usually like "artsy" games (quotation marks because I think all games are art -yes, even Bad Rats, which can be considered the Duchamp's Fountain of games). But this one does feel pretentious, and revels in that idea. The devs themselves said so on the Steam forums (which are the Duchamp's Fountain of message boards), so I don't believe I'm being unfair to the game.As soon as you try something that's a little out of the ordinary you're bound to be seen as 'pretentious' by some. I really don't think it is fundamentally though; it's just that a huge part of the experience is finding out stuff for yourself.
Basically it's a game that tries to push the concept of "discovering and understanding the game's mechanics" to its fullest, so you do have to think about what you do and what the consequences are and you'll start to notice the patterns and understand the game's system. And it's not's just an 'experiment', under all that occultism lies a game that you can truly master and is fairly challenging, with elements of puzzle and platforming. Just throw out your expectations of what a game ought to tell you and start thinking!
Oh man, I hope he still has some copies left when I get home tonight.it's back up! might be a glitch
gah. Castlevania for $14? i must resist
Ah sorry about that, Offline just indicates that I'm "offline" and won't be able to send out orders until later when I'm back, sometimes I forget to edit it though
Finally we're getting a Steam release of Guacamelee, I'm a sucker for metroidvania(?) games and it seems pretty great.
Now I just need to beat all the other hundred games in my backlog
Weird. I thought RotT is suppose to unlock when the store updates, but acccording to the store page it unlocks about 2 hours after the normal store update,..
Is there any way of knowing how cheap something will be in your store before it's released? I'd love Guacamelee.
I couldn't resist at 14$. Impulse buy, i thought castlevania was too hard back on SNES ; ;.

That's the last Castlevania you played?
To me, this is being obscure for the sake of being obscure. There's a difference between discovering the mechanics and smashing my head against the wall until I manage to proceed by sheer luck. I don't have any problem with the former, even if I'm used to being told pretty much everything in a tutorial, since I can still find out the mechanics if I keep at it (provided that I don't get frustrated with the game's difficulty -I'm looking at you, Dark Souls). It's the latter what bothers me. I don't find that rewarding, I don't think that makes the game fun, and I don't think it adds anything to the experience.
Next you're gonna tell us you've never played a Metroid before...I've never played a Castlevania game before.

I really hope not, liezryou, explain yourself.
I've never played a Castlevania game before.
Yes, Please don't hurt me.
After i failed so miserably at the SNES version back in my childhood i never really had the motivation to pickup another one. My tastes went more towards JRPGs and then eventually into MMORPGs.

You really should have stuck around. The PS1 Castlevania (Symphony of the Night) is widely regarded as not only the best Castlevania game, but one of the best games of that generation.
is it me or is SteamGifts no longer as popular around GAF anymore
(now that Modbot is here)
and jshackles... Enhanced Steam is wonderful, I hope the Client is as good (SteamGifts should do what you did to filter games)
I entered but I'll be going in to work. I'll be back later to see I didn't win out of the 200 people who entered.2ish hours left..
2ish hours left..
Aria of Sorrow and Symphony of the Night are probably the best Metroidvanias of all time.

Does anyone in this thread like getting Steam Achievements?
For some reason I hate Playstation Trophies (used to love them), but now I'm finding Steam achievements fun to go for. Maybe it's because I can feel good even when I don't 100% a game, whereas on the PS3, if I didn't get the platinum trophy, I didn't feel like I was done. Weird.
How is that even possible...

You are really missing out!
And has nobody here played C:LoS yet? Game was meh 3 years ago. Maybe I should give it another shot on PC, but I was pretty unimpressed when I played it on PS3, I just remember lots of God of War style gameplay, and no explorable map.
It's quite the opposite for me. I prefer getting trophies over Steam achievements, as I find the comparison with friends easier. Next to that, it's a fun addition that the achievements across all games count towards your level, just like the badges do on Steam.
Next you're gonna tell us you've never played a Metroid before...

And really, this is simply unacceptable. Castlevania is IMHO one of the most consistently good series out there, save for some missteps here and there. Correct this mistake ASAP, Jase.
