I have no patience for games this hard. I love old school games, but who the fuck thought it was a good idea to get hit once and die? Not my cup of tea. Bring on next weeks lackluster game. -Dean- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zot Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I guess Ghost N' Goblins gameplay isn't old school enough for you then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zot Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 OK, what the hell is a Microsoft Windows Live? ID and how do I associate it with my account? I have a NET account, but I'm guessing this isn't the same thing. I've never heard of this ID before, can anyone enlighten me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris The Rock Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 OK, what the hell is a Microsoft Windows Live? ID and how do I associate it with my account? I have a NET account, but I'm guessing this isn't the same thing. I've never heard of this ID before, can anyone enlighten me? It used to be called a MSN Passport. Before that, it was an ID for hotmail or MSN. Just go here http://login.live.com and sign up for an account. When you sign up for live, you have to have one, I thought. What did you enter there?

General Zot Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 I'm all signed in and everyhing on the xbox.com website. But when I click through for the Old Spice Omnipoteen-athon it says I don't have one associated with the gamertag. Ah screw it, who has time for this sort of BS for a lousy handful of points?

EnemaEms Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I guess Ghost N' Goblins gameplay isn't old school enough for you then? Don't like that game anymore either. Those games were great when I was in 7th grade, they just don't "do it" for me anymore. -Dean- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I like the game. But it is really hard to see the bullets that come at you. In a game like Mega Man, you know exactly why you died. But in this game, sometimes, the screen is so noisy, I didn't even realize what hit me. Kind sucks. It's difficulty is somewhat tapered by all the lives you get, and the fact that if you memorize the board, you can do reallly well. It isn't all about reflexes, you need to learn the board. It's oldschool that way. Oldschool is a double-edged sword with this type of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fighting fish Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Dwnloaded the Alien Hominid demo and deleted it right away. I have no patience for games this hard. I love old school games, but who the fuck thought it was a good idea to get hit once and die? Not my cup of tea. Bring on next weeks lackluster game. -Dean- Yesterday morning I thought this game was uber-hard too. I would die without knowing what happened and just found it impossible to avoid the bullets. After playing it a little while it doesn't seem quite so hard now. Last night I was ducking and jumping over shots and surviving a lot longer. I still don't think there is any chance in hell I'll get the achievement for defeating the Final Boss without using a continue. Art style is great and it does look really good in HD.

foogledricks Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I doubt I'd get a single achievement in this game. "Complete game without shooting" "Complete Level 1 with TV off" "Kill all enemies with only the jump button" I swear, Ninja Gaiden has nothing on this game.

dogbert Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I'm very familiar with Alien Homonid, I imported the original for the Xbox from Europe. Bought the HD one without downloading the trial Played one game last night, and first impressions are that it's gorgeous looking but that it definitely seems harder to spot bullets. Maybe a side effect of the increased res? Sound is "chunkier" in a good way. Plays just like the original. If you guys think the first level is hard, did you get to the second (1-2) with the traffic sequence? That's my most hated part of the game, and it gets much much better after that.

EnemaEms Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 1st impressions are what grabs me Brian. There are too many games that I want to play and if they don't grab me right away, I don't bother. The risk of wasting my time hoping the game gets better is too big for me. I would much rather play a game that I enjoy right away. -Dean- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony G Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 If you guys think the first level is hard, did you get to the second (1-2) with the traffic sequence? I started playing it and I'm happy to hear there isn't more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foogledricks Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I think I read a review of Worms already and there are a bunch of things missing. Such as weapons you'd think would be in there. Baseball bat i think. And they speculated that that stuff would be downloadable content. Ha ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
