Was checking Nintendo's site for any updates on what was coming out tomorrow & noticed that AVGN Adventures was listed for next Thursday (4/2) for $10. I recall they said the game would hit Nintendo systems, so I'm sure some will be glad to hear a release date.

No word on the 3DS version, though.

 

[BocoDragon]

It felt wierd only being able to buy this on a PC. I'd buy this.. AVGN is in the canon of core videogame stuff is the game any good?

Took long enough. What was the hold up?

He already reviewed it with some other AVGN fan games. Edit: BatDan was quicker.

Took long enough. What was the hold up?

I didn't even realize the original Steam release was back in Sept. 2013. Wonder why it took so longer. Heck, wonder how long it'll take for the 3DS to be released.

Never got very far in it, but I thought it was pretty alright for what it was.
You could do a lot worse in buying massocore platformers

I MISSED IT. WHAT ELSE DID I MISS?

I MISSED SO MUCH

Nope. It was purposely full of cheap deaths and annoying design elements. In trying to create the ultimate nerd-rage game, they forgot to create a fun one. You may get a chuckle at some of the inside jokes, but it's not worth the price of admission in my opinion.

 

[Robaperas]

I bought it a while ago, it's fun until you reach the LJN level.

I thought it was OK, most of that stuff is just referencing the annoying cheap elements from games he reviewed, but actually aren't that hard or unfair themselves.

 

[magnumpy]

terrible games are kind of the AVGN shtick. so I would expect the kinds of things he complains about in his videos (cheap deaths etc.) go watch a let's play if you're curious about it.

oops, I should state clearly that this has NSFW language

 

[grim-tales]

"What were they thinking!?"

I hope this comes to the EU 3DS shop, it looks a pretty fun game.
I enjoy some AVGN, he makes me laugh

 

[Lord British]

I dug this game overall. Lots of cool secrets. Irresistible for fans.

 

[Inuhanyou]

This game is unforgiving

 

[grim-tales]

Would something like Viewtiful Joe fall into that category? I'm not very good at games But I found the difficulty to be rock hard on the Gamecube version, even on EASY mode To this day I cant get past the 5th level

 

[grim-tales]

Has there been any news or anything about a UK eshop release? I could get the Steam version maybe?

 

[EvoMaldonado]

I haven't watched any AVGN in quite awhile, I haven't seen his movie yet! Time to get caught up

 

[grim-tales]

I havent seen the movie yet either, but ordered it I guess his schtick is exaggerate badness since we never really see a happy AVGN I've been watching quite a lot lately though but maybe I should take a break for a bit

 

[grim-tales]

Is there any news on if this will come to Europe on 3DS - when???

 

[grim-tales]

Just purchased the Steam one for £3.50. It looks pretty funny

 

[grim-tales]

FINALLY completed the first level (the Castlevania one). Those death blocks are ASS. Bloody hell, the difficulty is rock hard, even on EASY mode. FFS :x
There are some funny jokes though

 

[grim-tales]

I hate those goddamn falling platforms on the 2nd level (a la SMB2) :x

 

[Diablohead]

Since this thread popped back up again, freakzonegames released an improved version of manos the hands of fate on steam the other day, same style of platforming but a lot easier and not hair pulling like AVGNA

 

[Extra Sauce]

Am I going to miss a ton of references if I haven't watched many AVGN episodes?

 

[Adam Prime]

... Is this game any good?

A handful, just prepare yourself for a lot of shit and fuck.

... Is this game any good?

It's a hard platformer, think of it being a mix of megaman with boshy.

 

[Morfeo]

Wat too late, I already beat it on pc. Great game though!

 

[themagicalkitsune]

... Is this game any good?

Cheap level design aside (insta-death blocks save the day), yes.

Also looking forward to Adventures 2.

I think I'll brush up on my AVGN knowledge before diving into the actual game. Any specific recommendations?

start at the beginning and go forward. pretty much all of it is worth watching

 

[Bisnic]

This thread was bumped, it was April 2nd of this year.

 

[Morfeo]

It is really great. If you like Nes, you will love this. Not too hard either, pretty good balance on normal at least.

 

[Bending_Unit_22]

I find the game pretty fun, though really hard and made more so by loose controls. I was kind of surprised given that the nerd knows the importance of tight controls to platformers.

I think I'll brush up on my AVGN knowledge before diving into the actual game. Any specific recommendations?

I'll second just start from the beginning and watch them all. The only thing is as I recall initially the episodes dealt with one NES game whereas episodes later began to deal with other systems, multiple games, games with the same problem and so forth.

I remember watching the AVGN review of the game and just thinking..."why would you make this video? You're making this game look like a pile of shit and hurting sales for the guys who made it. You're not helping them".
Really put me off it.

I didn't feel that way at all. I really doubt it hurt the game.

Lol, you are right

If anything, it made me have to play it, so guess it works different for differet people.
