Luigi's Mansion 2 anyone?

addyb

I'll be honest RF I expected a comment about it being a pile of **** from you. I apologise. Lol

RottenFox

Ha, not a problem mate...

Heres my taglines of the latest purchase, just so you know :

Bioshock - average to twaddle.
Room Raider - mediocre.

Luigis Mansion 2 - Brilliant.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate - Amazing.
Code of Princess(3DS e-shop download) - Brilliant, Sega Saturns Guardian Heroes on a handheld. and done by the Guardian Heroes team.
Tales of the Abyss - brilliant RPG.

Quite a Nintendo love in there. I've heard plenty about tales of the abyss but not played it yet. Code of princess sounds interesting. Might download that later.

And there is me trusting the 100's of 90%  reviews for Bioshock...I could have come here and saved a fortune...

I have only stopped playing Bioshock long enough to play Luigi...brilliant game so far.

RottenFox

I just thought it descended quickly into an average game, and then started to get boring and dragged a bit, and the story, and ending, well, I stand by the word twaddle.

So it doesn't beat the original then? I loved that and the whole Atlas/Ryan reveal was excellent. Rapture, Big daddies etc was excellent.

RottenFox

Yeah, I would say that.
The visceral anger that the Daddys showed, isn't there, they are now replaced by automaton Ben Franklin et al type "stupids" bearing miniguns, who are AI retarded, and a handful of Handymen(think there are 3 or 4 of them in the whole game), who just utter rubbish comments, and don't do much else bar leaping towards you, punch the ground, hold their chest, repeat until bored. so easy to take out/fight.

Are you picking your Luigis up tomorrow, or have you got it yet?

addyb

Picking it up in the morning when I drop little girl off at mother in laws. I've got my lad tomorrow so may not get on the Wii U to play Lego but will certainly try and get on Luigi's later on.

Looking forward to playing something different to the usual 1st/3rd person shooters that seem to be ten a penny these days. Lego City sounds really fun. That and LM will be a nice change of pace to raiding tombs the size of my bathroom and controlling a space marine shooting intergalactic Nazis......zzzzzzz.. That was a reference to KZ3 which nearly bored me to tears when I played through it the other week.

RottenFox

Haha..I'll see your KZ3, and raise you Lifeless City Undercover..

Lego City(of which there must be hundreds of piece of, lying around my kids room, just doesn't muster the same excitement in me that Batman, Indiana Jones, LOTR, and the Star Wars universe do in their games.

[-]Played[/-] suffered about 2 hours of it today, and it didn't whet my whistle.
Instead of just comically portraying to it's positives(can't think what they are), like the other games, it just relies on pastiching just about every movie cliche there is, but not humourously.
Maybe if I were 5 or so, but not now.

Love the other games, just not this.

Pikmin, and other Nintendo titles need to come out fast.

Lmao that's fair enough. I havent played it myself yet so genuinely have no idea if I will like it. My only experience with Lego games is an hours worth of the LOTR game.

I may feel the same as you about it, then again I could love it. Will see what happens. Same applies to infinite.
