Well obviously, but I play games, and I don't see much of a game.

If I had an imagination I'd be off painting or writing or something.

i will wait until the full game. I think there is only 1 story level in the beta, the story alone could be a decent game. then the downloaded levels would add some longevity. Yeah its a cutesy platformer but at least its something different, i am fed up shooting space marines in the face.

The story in the full game is fairly extensive i believe. The multiplayer has potential. Its jump in jump out throughout the entire game, level creation, playing user levels.

Seeing new levels popping up all the time is cool and generally speaking they're getting better all the time. Some of them are very impressive. Some arent.

I guess the highest achievement in the game is creating a really popular level that thousands of people play and leave feedback on.

Like nofriendo says its good to play something that isn't just a slight iteration of something already done to death.

 

[nofriendo]

have you tried creating a level yet ? it takes some time to get used to it

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Yeah it takes time to get to grips with it alright. I'm kinda put off spending much time on it cos come Monday everything created in the beta will be lost. Or so i'm told.

 

[Stan Bowles]

See that's my point though, to me it IS a slightly different iteration of something that has already been done to death.

I mean its no portal is it?

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Well I can't think of another game like it and it feels original to play.

 

[Stan Bowles]

But its just a platformer!

I guess I'll just add this to the list of things I don't get.

 

[nofriendo]

I mean its no portal is it?

ah now prey did portals before them !

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

But its just a platformer!

Just because it falls into a certain genre doesn't make it unoriginal. Then everything can be classed as unoriginal.

Its the focus on user created content that makes it different to anything thats come before.

 

[Stan Bowles]

I still stand by my meh comment. I have zero interest in making my own levels, and the gameplay is generic.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I think you're maybe being a bit hasty in your judgement but fair enough.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Gonna pick up FIFA tonight for the larf.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

We'll have to have a few matches.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Can you have more than one guy per console in online play?

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Yeah.


I think.

 

[nofriendo]

Yeah it takes time to get to grips with it alright. I'm kinda put off spending much time on it cos come Monday everything created in the beta will be lost. Or so i'm told.

they announced that the levels will be saved from the beta. which is good

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Yeah.


I think.

I'll give ya a shout if we're onlining so.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

they announced that the levels will be saved from the beta. which is good

Thats great news. Its only fair considering the work and time that so many dipsos put into levels.

The God of War demon skull level is amazing. Some of the puzzle/speed levels are really clever too. They remind me of some of the oddworld puzzles.
