So, Guacamelee, watching another person play it has made me think, would it be better as just a straight up Mario style platformer? The best parts of the game are the platforming challenges with the metroidvania traversal being relatively weak. If they had just focused on the platforming would you haven enjoyed it more? Keeping the combat and platforming the same, just remove the running around in between.
The thing is, the Metroidvania traversal mostly are the in game introduction to the different mechanics of the game. I wouldn't like it more if it was straight platforming. I feel like they should have put platforming challenges separate like in VR missions in Revengence. Also they shouldn't have locked out the good end if you didn't 100% it.

I had the choice of getting a gamecube or an Xbox on- original, I made the right decision
Well you don't get it for 100%ing the game all you need to do is get the 5 mask pieces, which I think is fine.
I've only gotten the bad end. I never knew about the masks. I guess I should go do that now...

I still don't full understand why it isn't called the Xbox all in one. Xbox One/Xbox Original just makes shit confusing.
The best platforming segments are required to get those pieces, the ending is fucking nothing.Juan kisses the girl. The end.
You should make a thread about it.
You've never worked in a fundraising call center have you.
It's not exactly a story heavy game, what do expect?

Wait so you missed out on some of the best challenges in the game? The Tule tree platforming is one favorite parts
You should make a thread about it.
And make sure you talk about that always online connection that was almost going to happen
I don't know, it just felt like there could have been more of a reward for getting through the hardest parts of the game, maybe a true final boss that wasn't garbage or some kind of extra final level? Something cool.
I think the challenges themselves were reward enough. The games flaw was that there really wasn't much challenge.
It was mainly a disappointment for me since they built up the special awesomeness of this mask that changes absolutely nothing but a two second cutscene. And if it did change something gameplay-wise, it was no significant enough to matter.
when you are the chicken you can jump infinitely
Alright, but at that point what does it matter? They could have just gone ahead and straight up Fierce Deity Link'd it and made a way cooler final boss instead.
For exploring the map. It's a metroidvania, that's what you do.
Alright, but at that point what does it matter? They could have just gone ahead and straight up Fierce Deity Link'd it and made a way cooler final boss instead.
But, by the time you're able to even finish all the challenges you've pretty much finished the game, so if you care about completion you'll likely already have 99% of the stuff. It's cool it does something, but that's not enough to really warrant the build up they gave it.
Your problem is that were expecting it to do so much more that it did when really there wasn't that much build up. Do the 5 things to get a different ending sounds very fair to me. A new final boss would have been nice but I wasn't really expecting it to do that much.
There were huge altars, dialog hyping each one up, a huge to do about them if you get the bad ending and were hidden behind parts of the game way way way harder than anything else in there. They were hyped up as a pretty big deal, expecting something after all that isn't me having unreasonable expectations, it's having the appropriately set expectations.
"Hey, man! You mow my lawn, I'll give you something amazing and totally awesome!" then I give you a glass of lemonade and say "You shouldn't have expected so much, that's your fault." That sound like bullshit to anyone else?
Again, I think challenges were the reward.
They were, and they were the best part of the game, but that's not what the game said. "Do these challenges and get something awesome." Is clearly building to something, you do the hard shit you get the hardest/coolest shit afterwards, but then it just ends and you're left with a feeling of having done the cool shit in the past. That's lame as hell.
This I really agree with. For all the pain the Tule Tree gave me.
The Tule Tree gave a lot of pain only because it wasn't more clear that you need Goat Fly to beat it. I got halfway up before I got to a point that was impossible without it, looked up how to beat it and realized that I was supposed to use Goat Fly.

I guess I didn't really beat it after all. I believe I got to the tule tree right when it unlocked
Don't you need Goat Fly to do the very first part?
Going more off topic, how come they're practically no long jackets for men? I've never seen someone wear them, I have never seen them sold in retail.
A little late, Anna Kendrick for me.We have had waifu discussions before... but never discussed our celebrity crushes!
Woolie went to the Suicide forest? Dayum I can't wait for that video. My orienteering skills suck as I was staying at Lake Kawaguchi and thought Aokigahara was on the other side of the mountain. Turns out I was wrong and Lake Saiko was only a few miles from where I was staying. Probably missed my only chance to visit the suicide forest D:
A little late, Anna Kendrick for me.
Why is it called the suicide forest?
Happy birthday Nova !Although I could already drink, I'm old enough to do so in America now and I'm (by law) completely financially independent... yaaaay...
Yo happy birthday man. Hope you have a good one.
A lot of frienders seem to be born around the start of November. Hell, even mine is coming up soon.
Happy birthday Nova !
I first heard of this on Ancient Aliens, that show has some crazy people on it but they do explore some interesting locations around the world and ask questions at times that don't really have answers.Why is it called the suicide forest?
Regardless of what makes people go there to kill themselves, there are some weird energy based anomalies around that area.

Not talking about you or this situation, but I just wanna make note that I hate the whole concept of "These questions don't have answers!" as a form of proof for something. It's so completely invalid and dumb.
FTFYAnd most of the questions they ask do actually have answers, but it makes them more money to pretend there isn't an answer.
Man, I know most of these people but absolutely none of their names. Anna Kendrick is hot, though, I remember sitting in the theater watching Twilight (because my ticket was free and people dragged me) and thinking "This girl is too hot for this movie."
.
It dies down eventually. Gotta remember that that was one recording session so it keeps going for that one session's episodes. Now that Liam is playing it's pretty sick awesome and they haven't done that joke in a long time, even though these episode were recorded before the backlash.Watching the Guacamelee LP while working out the rough layout of my NaNoWriMo story, and Jesus Christ this accent joke is getting to be a bit much.
You definitely can. That's not the GBA version is it? That means it's going to be even harder and less friendly. As a first person dungeon crawler, it'd be pretty rough.So, I found an English version of SMT1 since I thought that if I was going to get into this shit I'd suffer the right way.
My question: Should I let's play this, or at least record my first experiences with it?
?
No shut up thoThat's not how energy works tho.
