[quote name='ooga']And you've pretty much killed any interest I've had in Spelunky. I value my sanity. Moving on![/QUOTE]
The thing about it though is, you'll never be upset at the game for dying because it's always feels like your fault, something you most likely will have learned for the next time. It's all about trial and error, in a way that never gets frustrating. In fact it's put many more smiles on my face then me getting mad.
If you can get into the rogue-like, one life-that's it aspect, the game has unlimited amount of charm.
And that's just the free pc version. Can't wait for the XBLA version with more features and everything.

[quote name='Sath666']I heard it's tough as nails, oldschool game. No hand holding. Pretty excited for this one. Always good to see developers release such a games in years, where most of the games are piss easy qte ''rail-shooters''.

I wonder how many "hard" games need to actually get released before we can put to rest that stupid canard. Clearly at least one more...
Much less the amount of people who say it and have never even breathed on the harder difficulties of said shooters.

Spelunky was fun, but I'd disagree with you on that, at least the part you said that actually meant something and COULD NOT ALSO APPLY TO EVERY GAME EVER MADE. Spelunky always felt rather brittle to me, like Binding of Isaac except instead of randomly getting freakishly overpowered, you just died instantly in one misstep, so I hope you weren't expecting to find anything good in that treasure chest or I hope you are really good at eyeballing which leap of faith is actually the height-safe jump you need to make and that it isn't loaded with yetis... (Which I guess is not a dichotomy anywhere approaching what I had hoped that sentence would say but... whatever.). Combine that with the fact that a randomly generated platformer may as well be a randomly generated Contra game; as in, it will never ever give you levels worth your time to play, and Spelunky was decent as something I didn't have to pay for and I still do not predict it offering value worth the dollar.
That said, I will say shopkeepers in Spelunky are the single most delightfully evil mechanic known to man. You can't NOT steal from them and you will invariably either become a shopkeep slaying master or you will die a lot.
Speaking of not having to pay for it, is Spelunky coming back to PC with these updates? More likely, when? Then you can save $14 and get it in the next HIB.

This is another example of my criticism of the game. Stealing from the shopkeeper is
ing awesome. Except that it brings almost guaranteed death. Everything cool in the game results in awesomeness 1 out of every 10 times and death the other 9.
Like I said, I'm still fairly new to the game, so maybe I just haven't figured out how to kill the shopkeepers. But shotgun + 3x Speed = Dead Spelunky.

Well you aren't supposed to steal from the shopkeeper and get away with it, that's why the consequences are harsh. haha I like it that way. It's all about collecting treasure (cash) so you can buy items, and being careful through the level with your platforming skills and your newly purchased items. Not about robbing a shopkeeper for a shotgun and trying to get through the game like that.

Are you joking? Shopkeeper fights are about the only truly entertaining part of that dull experience, especially with the power of the shotgun. The thrill of seeing what you can get away with just adds so much to the game that I can't really pass it up.

In the strictest sense, yes, it does. I see what you're getting at but I have to go off the definition of the words you used.
Hell, Order of Ecclesia was literally the same warmed over Castlevania rehash but it was constantly mentioned for its difficulty achieved not through any change other than upping the enemy damage across the board.
You could ensure death is in two shots in any MW game, one shot if it is a good one (So basically Veteran), and then catapult you back to the start of the game each time you die, billing it as an "arcade roguelike experience" and you wouldn't be too far from the mark the way those words get tossed about these days.

You can pretty much count on the sale happening. If you check GameStop's website, they're selling the DLC at $7.50 which equals 600 MSP right now. So if for some reason the deal doesn't go live tomorrow, just buy it from GameStop.

But I have a never-ending plethora of M$ points (that I've had for a couple years now) that I never get to spend since the DotW's just keep repeating. I've been waiting on those Blops packs for 2 years now.
I think Major Nelson just screwed up when he posted that MW3 stuff would be on sale, and perhaps it was just supposed to be Blops.
Either that, or we'll get RDR, Borderlands, or Halo Reach dlc again.

I too got Spelunky early and I have to say I really don't think it's very good. I can see what they were going for and there's a good game in there crying to get out but the end result is mediocre platforming.
Ooh they've got co-op, but wait! The co-op... is offline? In 2012?! A game with only local multiplayer in this day and age is frankly offensive, especially when that game is on a service that charges for online multiplayer.
Yet they still have the gall to charge a premium for a game that even has an achievement for beating it in under eight minutes. Even Braid's speedrun achievement was 5.625x that! I've just not had much fun with it at all and can't really recommend it, especially not for that price.
(Hold your horses, this is the part you're probably going to disagree with.)
Of course because it's yet another "indie" darling it's going to get 9/10s across the board anyway despite it not actually being very good, just like Braid, Super Meat Boy, Limbo, Minecraft and Fez.

I was shocked when I saw Spelunky only had local co-op as well, that was weird.
However, I don't agree with your last sentence, as you predicted. You seriously don't like a single one of those games? A lot of people fall into the fallacy that if something is "indie" then it's automatically good. But then there are also people who fall into a similar and equally bad fallacy that just because something is "indie" it is automatically bad.
Braid and Super Meat Boy are 2 of my favorite Xbox games. Limbo and Minecraft are great for what they are. Fez was ok but didn't do anything special for me. I think it's important to evaluate the games as games, and not where they came from.

Dammit, woulda been nice to win/trade for something like that. I could take and like Spelunky if I didn't have to pay for it.
Really, I'm being a little hard on it but it came close to gelling for me but it never did, so I spent a lot of time chasing the great game I thought might be lurking in the cracks and found nothing. It's definitely a competent exploration of what it is trying to do, though, I still take issue with how brittle you are and the inartful random levels.

Looks like the Scratch & Match prize and deals change out at 8 AM EST tomorrow according to the rules. It also says that prizes will be between $5 and $10, so don't expect big prizes.
One of the tiles for their game sales has what I believe The Walking Dead on it, so I'm wondering if that will be on sale or if it's just a mistake.

[quote name='Exu']I don't hate them, I just do not think they are anywhere near as good as the critical acclaim would lead one to believe. I've played them all and not one of those games has wowed me.
Now Splosion Man and the Keflings games, that's a whole different story.[/QUOTE]
ha the Keflings games are horrible compared to the games you mentioned, not to mention Minecraft is essentially a bigger, more creative version of Keflings. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

(Hold your horses, this is the part you're probably going to disagree with.)
Of course because it's yet another "indie" darling it's going to get 9/10s across the board anyway despite it not actually being very good, just like Braid, Super Meat Boy, Limbo, Minecraft and Fez.[/QUOTE]
Yep i disagree with you. :lol:
Absolutely loved FEZ, SMB, Limbo and Braid. Also i can see from where came all of the popularity of Minecraft, so can't say it's overhyped or something - it's more like not my type of game.

[quote name='FriskyTanuki']Looks like the Scratch & Match prize and deals change out at 8 AM EST tomorrow according to the rules. It also says that prizes will be between $5 and $10, so don't expect big prizes.

[quote name='RollingSkull']Really, if Spelunky were linear and had designed levels I would probably be fellating it but the randomly generated levels lack any soul or satisfaction.[/QUOTE]
This is so wrong, if it was the same designed linear levels it would be more frustrating and not near as exciting. Also might be easier because you can remember every trap, enemy, etc. Have you even played the game? The random-generated levels is one of the best parts of the game, keeps it fresh.
