Any thoughts on Rise of the Martian Bear and The Lost Hobo King DLC?

Rise if the Martian Bear is good but tough. It also adds a bunch of higher level gear.

Rise of the Martian Bear practically begs to be played co-op, the levels are borderline unbeatable solo from my personal experiences and what I've read. So if you're just going to solo it, I'd think twice.

The Lost Hobo King is pretty much more of the same, which isn't a bad thing. It'll probably take about 2 to 3 hours to complete, but it's decent enough to warrant the price, especially with achievements.

Alright, you guys sold me on Costume Quest. I suppose I'll get the Stacking DLC while I'm at it.

It's not too hard to find a random to play with online though, is it?

Sure you can find people, but usually they all want to play the unlimited mode. If anyone wants to play through the actual levels of Iron Brigade with me, shoot me a msg or friend request on XBL.

I already own all the Double Fine stuff (all great, buy it ALL, even the DLC lol), so I guess I'll get Swarm for 200, even though I don't need it. :P Sort of tempted on Mercury Hg and Quarrel as well, but they seem like they would work better as mobile (iPhone) games.

I didn't have much luck with it, I actually only ever found one group of 3 when playing online, and they were just doing survival. It's definitely not one of my favorite games, so I only looked for others online maybe 3 separate times, so I'm probably not the best to answer that question.

I added you last time the game was on sale but never pressed you to play... oops!

The Martian Bear levels are hard as hell, but they can be done solo. If you're willing to endure a whole lotta pain, anyway.

Definitely grabbing Quarrel, Swarm, Mercury HG and Iron Brigade... can't decide about the expansions for both Toy Soliders games (won codes for both games + the Kaiser expansion, but have never actually booted them up!) and Iron Brigade (haven't tried it)...

It's a shame that there won't be a Costume Quest 2 about the kids' adventures during the next Halloween.

That would be awesome. Or maybe a Christmas Quest?

Are you just lamenting the fact that there isn't a Costume Quest 2, or have they actually said that there won't be a sequel?

There won't be a sequel since the lead for the original left Double Fine.

Grubbins on Ice was basically that.

Double Fine never does sequels. They've expressly stated that time and time again.

damn adventure time avatar items have arrived. need more points :/

They're working on a sequel to one of their games (Happy Action Theater) as we speak...

It figures, certain Call of Duty zombie map packs got confirmed for eligibility for October's featured reward offer after they were no longer on sale [reference link forthcoming on the rewards thread, Resurrection I believe qualifies]. Fortunately, I am not too distraught over that. The other "of course," is my inability to remove my other payment option through the website, now that my $1 for 1 month is over (I just renewed with a 12-month card). I feel it is so convenient their "system is temporary unavailable due to technical reasons" while I am sure they are eager to get new payment options from me.

I had thought the Grubbins on Ice DLC (Christmas) set up potential stories with Valentines Day (chocolates) to be its next DLC with maybe Easter (marshmallow peeps) following that. Alas with the departure of the creator and main lead, the original vision is no longer there to follow through. I loved the game, while simplistic by play mechanics, it's all about the charm. I think that is what separates Double Fine games from the rest. If you were to strip out all the charm of fresh scenarios/locales/characters (say moving generic indiscernible cubes along flat planes minus dialogue), I'd think less of the actual games Double Fine makes, but we are blessed with humor, story, and flavorful dialogue which makes them fine experiences.



I am seriously considering the loser deals for the Sales and Specials + app. As for World of Keflings, I found the original Kingdom for Keflings busy work, from what I tried of the demo to the sequel, it seems like new and improved busy work ^^.

I'm sad to hear both pieces of info. I was really hoping for a CQ sequel!

Anyone else getting worms revolution?
