It's passed 5:30AM here, not up on xblm yet?

Thought it would be up in the europe PSN too. Guess I was wrong

 

[burgerdog]

Almost three hours past the normal upload time. Lame.

That last couple of weeks there timings have been all over. Someone needs a talking to.

XBL monkeys?

BTW if anyone is wondering, I would say you can beat the story stuff in this game within 8 hours easy if you try to keep going to the right areas and not get sidetracked. Had I not gotten stuck on the very last quest I likely could have done it in 7. I went for speed and melee maxed before using the other stuff, and it worked out well for me. I pretty much tried to play with the max output of damage, very rarely using block. You can abuse the combat system a lot with max speed, too, since you can just circle strafe most bosses, or at least attack and step back and attack (and so on)... I found ranged to be worthless and not worth upgrading at all, especially since you are limited to special ammo that isn't really consistently dropping, but you can pull shit with it well enough.

If you don't want to have to think about armor, there's a toggle that automatically puts the best pieces on in realtime, so if you grab something new it will auto-equip, though this does not work for weapons. Don't worry about getting every chest you come across (you have to get keys to open them, usually from completing quests) as they're usually just money and crappy loot. By the time I finished I had over a million dollars and nothing to spend it on, so also don't worry about picking up your corpse if you die (you just lose some of your money, and it doesn't matter anyways).

Deadliest Warrior's up on XBLA, but still no Deathspank. It's even spotlighted, but there's nothing to download yet but the trailer Weird.

 

[kanugo]

Can't wait to play this. Got my Microsoft Points ready.

 

[Sqorgar]

I just want to point out that even after characters give you a quest, you can usually talk to them again for additional dialogue. Also, in general, if you want to get the full effect, do the dialogue trees bottom up. The top line is usually "gimme the quest and shut up".

Also, I think you guys are being too hard on the humor based on the demo. The demo area's pacing seems a bit off to me. I think it gets better once you go across the bridge, but then, I have a soft spot for Pluckmuckel.

Red tape covered bureaucracy and indie development make strange bedfellows

You can download it? I can't get it from Japan using my U.S account, seems to be IP locked

All games > D > Deathspank. I found it there.

That's what I meant when I said "all games." The game is there along with the trailer, no arcade download, though.

Until it shows up here, it's not out on the US marketplace.

Winner. Thanks, this got around the game not being out in the US nicely.

 

[Aspiring]

Ok so i have a serious question. I was all down for this, but after reading some impressions and reviews im scared. I am now torn between this and Toy Soldiers. I understand they are different, but whats the better game? Which has better single player?

 

[burgerdog]

Game appears to be 1080p as well on 360.

I haven't played more than 10 minutes of Deathspank but I can't recommend Toy Soldiers highly enough. Still you are always best off taking both demos for a spin of course

 

[Corky]

any tearing?

 

[Ricker]

Why is this not up at the regular place on the Marketplace all of a sudden...jesus sometimes I wonder who runs that place :lol

Played the PS3 demo and liked it enough,there was a few good lines in there,like,`if you only buy one game this year...you clearly ain`t buying enough videogames`(instead of the usual buy this one,although they hammer that at you a few times as well hehe)...i`m just disappointed that the co-op is not online,this would be perfect for the game...oh well,got to decide between this or the CCR pack now.

 

[burgerdog]

any tearing?

You know how the beginning of the demo tears a shitton on ps3? No tearing on 360 at all there.

 

[Kandrick]

any tearing?

No tearing at all here.

 

[burgerdog]

No tearing at all here.

What res are you playing at? People said the game was tear free at 720p on ps3 and it tears at 1080p. So far 360 has been tear free at 1080p.

1080p, also tried on 720p and no tearing in both resolutions.

 

[FrankT]

Slowdown?

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

Finally got it downloading.

Will be finished right when I need to leave for work. Fuck.

 

[Corky]

hmm cant find it on eu marketplace

 

[sweetvar26]

Link for DeathSpank

Link for Deadliest Warrior

Both from the US marketplace.

 

[burgerdog]

The only thing I don't like is the 360 version being considerably darker than the ps3 version. The game doesn't have a brightness slider option and I don't want to change the settings on my calibrated tv for just one game.

 

[mrgone]

Link for DeathSpank

Link for Deadliest Warrior

Both from the US marketplace.

Getting "content not found" errors on DeathSpank Could be a region thing though

I caved and used the Swedish(?) link, and that's downloading. I wonder what's going on at the other end of all this

 

[ZeMMiK]

any impressions about the game itself ?? I do not care about tearing or resolutions... a well I will go home and test it myself.

 

[Liberty4all]

I'm kinda meh about this now. Impressions are not giving me any optimism.

 

[MoxManiac]

Liked the demo but am concerned over the short length of the game.

me too, quest design, variety?

 

[kanugo]

The game is up on the UK Marketplace.

 

[JWong]

I only played like ten minutes of it before I had to sleep.

First conversation already had me chuckling. Classic dialog in the veins of Monkey Island and such adventure games.

 

[Corky]

Liked the demo but am concerned over the short length of the game.

whoa, since when is anything in the 10 hour ballpark area a short game?

I can name 5 fullprice AAA titles on my shelf right now that are sub 10h...

You have to remember that they are the same cultured sophisticates that dwell in Off-Topic.

 

[Kajiba]

Played a couple of minutes of the demo. I like it alot. Gonna buy it.

Dialogue is pretty funny too. Wise Cow is great :lol
