Scott Pilgrim: Serious Business (justified meme)
Majine said:
i thought the game looked boring in the quicklook. game references are nice but the game itself looked meh. maybe the books were awesome but that doesnt mean the game is going to be...
i dont understand where all this Scott Pilgrim love is coming from, wiki says the books have been around since 2004 but i've never heard anyone mention the series until about two weeks ago when trailers started hitting tv. seems like an instant fad or something... imo the movie looks retarded but i'll give it a shot to see what all the hype is about.

Jeff and Brad: Scott Pilgrim? Meh, I dunno.
One Side: HELL YEAH, IT'S STUPID!
Other side: HEY SHUT UP ASSHOLE, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
About two weeks ago, the final volume came out of Scott Pilgrim.big_z said:
(which was awesome). I only read it recently, all of them together and I understand why there's hype. Likeable characters and a great plot/adventure.
Oh and the videogame doesn't look good, despite it being Scott Pilgrim. You apparently have to grind to get anywhere in the game, so, eff that.

I've been a fan of Bryan O'Malley's stuff since about 2002. So for me at least, no, it's not a fad. I'm just a fan of his work.big_z said:
Here's the mysteriously missing Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light Quicklook. They took it down from the site (they obviously broke embargo), but their embed code still works, as evidenced here:

Yeah, before the media blitz for the movie not a lot of people have really been aware of the series for the most part.hamchan said:

BOOOOOOOOO , this was so boring , I want my 18mins back.
I thought it will be something unique , it's Isometric and that it ,it actually has the same old boring Tomb Raider formula but with less platforming , more shooting , killing and destroying things and more shitty forced co-op tricks as the new theme , and it's also repetitive as hell , look really bad and the screen fades to black/loading screens everywhere and everytime , fail all over the place.
what a sad end for poor Lara , now please Square-Enix burn this franchise in a fire and let Crystal Dynamics work on a new Legacy of Kain game or a completely new IP for fuck sake.
Scott Pilgrim looks and sounds really nice. They made some mention of it being a supergroup of indie dudes behind it, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Sorta feels like a well-developed RCR rom-hack or something though. :\
Also, YooStar2 looks to be the best game ever.

Hey now, you might be jumping the gun a little bit. It is only the first level after all. There's a good chance the co-oping will get more complex and the platforming more platformy as the game progresses. Im interested in hearing the reviews and reactions after the game comes out.

That is the least impressive thing I have ever seen. The only way it could be worse is if it had Tomb Raider in the title.
I'm not feeling it either. Isometric + Cell-Shaded for no good reason + Mortal Kombat loading screen + forced co-op = not on Dambrosi's shopping list.
Worst of all, it's got that "who gives a shit?" vibe all over it, like not even Crystal Dynamics really cared how the game turned out. Everything's so...bland. Character design is uninteresting across the board; Lara may have been a sex bomb back in the day, but she was ugly even then, IMO, with her over-Botox'd lips, the infamous UniBoob, and sharp knees, and to be frank, she isn't much different here (except that she now has some cleavage - oh, the wonders of modern technology!). Don't even get me started on Generic Tribal Warrior #5164, your co-op partner with the disappearing spears and +10 Aura Of Forgetability.
As for the graphics, the first level is a sprawling mass of brown and darker brown punctuated by small orange fires, which doesn't help the game's first impression. That said, the layout seems to be exactly what you'd expect from a Tomb Raider game...which this isn't, apparently. And here's another thing - forced co-op sucks. It sucked in RE5, it looks like it sucks here, it sucks in pretty much every game it's in. Why do devs feel the need to keep shoving the concept down gamers' throats?
I know, I know - I shouldn't be grousing so much over what is merely the introductory "tutorial" level of a downloadable game. Who knows, maybe later levels turn the game into some transcendent masterpiece of design and playability, but you know what? You shouldn't have to play through an underwhelming (or boring, or shitty, or whatever) first portion of the game to get to the good stuff. It's Final Fantasy XIII Syndrome, though to a lesser extent, hopefully.
I'd actually say that Scott Pilgrim is better, first impressions-wise. Yeah, that game has crash bugs and glitches up the wazoo, doesn't explain important gameplay details (like how it assumes that you've played River City Ransom or Street Gangs already, and somehow know that SPvsTW is an RSR clone through and through), and has an overlong first level which seems to require lots of grinding to pass (but wouldn't, if only the game would explain things properly) - but at least it ain't bland.

The single player mode does not force you to put up with a crappy AI partner so it's nothing like RE 5. And claiming that Crystal Dynamics don't give a shit about this game might be the most ridiculous thing I've read on GAF this year. Man, the crazies are really coming out in this thread.

"You're like an air-dolphin."
Not only that, he didn't even watch the quick look, because the whole format of that QL (as Ryan said up front) was that they would do the coop and then go back and show how the singleplayer was different. Which they did, and which Dambrosi obviously didn't bother watching despite the fact that he's going off on the game in the Quck Look thread.kylej said:

Yeap
I was all excited. I love game room quick looks :lolslaughterking said:
the song and all memorable quotes are the only good about this game.
the game is just a worthless Ace Combat clone , and just like other Fligh Combat sim it's just shoot the objectives and repeat ,and hey shitty Combat flight developers , copy the Wings of Prey's aim system.
@ Ryan + Vinny and this QL
I like this style of Quick Look , they just started playing the game , they actually booted it for the first time , it's fresh old school QL , unlike Jeff and Brad who plays tons of hour before doing the QL then sit and just judging the game ,thing is it's not a review.
for me the Quick Look should be like this , they should play the game for the first time , from the start , QLs this way are always more funnier and feel good even if the game itself is shitty.
I don't know if anyone here agree , but I want more QL to be this way.
