Glad to hear. I've been a bit reluctant to play again because I was worried it might just be a glorified game of hide and seek.
By the way, you probably should spoiler tag some of that. I took a stab at it in the quote above.
I would be pretty darn pissed if you spoiled that for me. :lol
Just finished it (still have %100 percent completition to do).
Of course i fucking loved it.
In comparising to the first one, my thoughts:
This one was better as a gameplay experience and in level design, but i didnt get the same emotional epicness that i got from the first one, dont really know why, guess the wow factor wared a little off.
I love both.

I think I like the prankster comets in this more than the first one. They just seem better overall.

I think this is a good way to sum up my opinion for right now as well. The game feels less epic in everything but the actual playing through levels part, which is fantastic. I know that some of it is just the fact that you can't "wow" someone with the galaxy/gravity concept twice in a row, but for as much as people have made the point that story isn't important in Mario games, I do miss some of the tone that the first Galaxy carried. Maybe that's part of why the ending cinematic actually left me pleasantly surprised.
For playing purposes I like the faceship, but I also appreciated the feel of the comet observatory a little more, and the fact that they actually gave it a bit of backstory. I felt the same way about the storybook and the very end of Galaxy, with the Toad Brigade's promotion. I guess since I'm a fan of those little things that further enrich the Mario universe, I appreciated the amount of stuff they introduced, even if most of it got backstepped on for Galaxy 2. Sorry Lubba, but Rosalina is just a way more interesting sidekick character to have around.

I appreciate the dialogue in this game more. The characters have the quirks and corny humor that I loved in Super Mario 64 that Galaxy almost completely lacked. While Galaxy had more "story", I definitely enjoy just going up to characters and pressing A to see what they say in this game. "The Chimp" feels like he was pulled right out of Super Mario 64 to me. Nostalgia is clouding my judgment, of course, but I do feel like this game has more of that quirkiness to it that the first lacked. The fat whats-his-face luma reminds me a lot of some of the Paper Mario characters in regards to the things he says. And I love Paper Mario.

He's rather judgmental about anything you bring back that isn't Luma related.

My personal favorite was right at the beginning when he called the hub a "faceship". It was so obvious I couldn't believe I hadn't already thought of it.
Man i really love so many things. Even small things like the way in Rightside Down Galaxy you
And in that same galaxy,
.
I <3 this game.
wall jump off Whomp upside down to get the comet coin, which while simple to do was pretty imaginative.
the fact that you can pretty much jump out of it and skip the whole end section of platforming challenges
I <3 this game.

By the way, the music selection during the
is just godly. Talk about some serious fan service.
10/10.
242, holy shit this comet is impossible as all hell. I have no shame in admitting that I just lost 39 lives attempting this one. Guess it's time for a short break.

Yeah, I've noticed quite a few ways to sneak around the intended path and cut the challenge short. Really great level design all around. Most of the levels reward the player's skill level by acknowledging when they're playing above average with things like hidden areas, reaching comet medals, and short cuts like you mentioned above.

Just finished the castle at the end of world 2, and it was probably one of the greatest moments in the series for me. Maybe it was the combination of platforming, music, lava, the god damn hammer brothers, smashing meteors, and all topped off with that epic boss battle.
I finally understand why everyone is so giddy about this game.

I really should stay the hell away from this thread. i know my wii will be here by thursday so its nice to know my wait won't be TOO much longer, but all I feel like doing in the meantime is playing galaxy 1 :/
I rented the first season of The Shield to watch to keep me busy until Thursday, so at least I have something to do
Of course I'm actually the lucky one here, still having a glriorious new gaming experience all still ahead of me

The second star mission on Cosmic Cove is really impressive. I just came back and beat that particular level. Start on the ice, go underwater, then go in the sky, then go in the floating sky-water, and just for shits and giggles why not flood some planet shaped like Saturn?
Edit: PXG - try starting by going left and following the diagonal line of coins as you run. Just run in an up-and-down pattern across the left half or so, and then run across the vertical lines of coins on the right half. Once I noticed the placement of the coins and how to run to get them in time I got it in about 3 tries.

This game is un-fucking-believable. When I bought it I played it for thirty minutes and was like, "alright, this is pretty awesome." When I came home from work, I immediately sat down and played it for what felt like minutes, but was probably closer 4 hours. All in all, an amazing game. Bravo, Ninty.
OrangeGrayBlue said:
Oh no. I already beat it this morning with my girlfriend (she was P2). It was just a pain in the ass. I would either die before getting the last coin or die trying to get to the star :lol I was playing as Luigi too. Some times (during the star animation) he would randomly slide off the green blocks, thus, resulting in him falling to his death, with no way of me preventing it from happening.

Just got 120 stars today. Had a blast with the game - level design was simply superb.
If I had one complaint at all, it would be the exclusion of the flying power-up from Mario Galaxy 1. In the first Galaxy it was under utilized and I was really hoping it might get a second chance here, but no dice.
Oh well, off to go tackle the 120 star bonus

Didn't you get it because like, some other guy accused you of tag fishing, and so they just gave you like the worst tag ever? Thats what I thought happened...Willy105 said:
The_Technomancer said:
No, I was never accused of tag fishing.
My guess was that I said I really don't like people cursing, and they gave me a vulgar tag.
But I can't find the thread where it happened. Most likely it was just some mod just passing by, disagreed with what I said, dropped the tag, and walked away.

I can vaguely remember the thread where it happened, because everyone was laughing about it, and talking like it was a consequence of something you said, but I don't actually remember it...*shrug*Willy105 said:
The_Technomancer said:
Trust me, a LOT of people reminded me of my new tag. Especially in the Sonic threads. They loved that the one that liked the Sonic games had this tag.
But there really wasn't anything leading up to it, because I check every thread I post in for replies. Oh well....

Forget it. We'll never solve this mystery without post history being available.

One of my favorite levels in the game, very different look and feel in comparison to most of the other levels.bridegur said:
Knew I was going to like it from the beginning, when you fly in through the cave. Music fit perfectly I actually liked that it stuck to only a few colors. The music stopping and the sunlight at the end was really neat as well.

I said wow

Totally agreed. The end was simply perfect.
