Critical Miss: Moon Diver

[Scizophrenic Llama]

I can't help but think of The Brave Little Toaster when I see that for some reason, and now thinking about it; that'd be a far more badass boss.

Back on form I see, was beginning to get worried that it had been about 2 months without one I even smiled at but this gave me a good laugh, and I really want toast now.

The toaster looks like it belongs in Scribblenauts

Ahhh old screen savers.
Moon Diver is new? It's been out since... well at least a couple weeks before the psn went down cuz me and two friends got it.

AND CAN FINALLY PLAY THE DAMN THING.

So I guess what you're saying is, you guys felt burned by this game?

Thanks but you should add some content so the mods don't send you a warning or put you on probation. Those sorts of things can add up if you're not careful.

Yeah, you better watch it, or you're toast.

OT: I have to agree that the concept could be pulled of in a very interesting way. Shame it didn't by the sounds of it.

You bashed Keanu Reeves and the fact this is his default face... [http://roflrazzi.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/celebrity-pictures-reeves-blank.jpg]
...I think I'm in love. XD

Anyways, good work as usual.

Spoiler: Why I did not like the game

Played the demo, the more people that play it...the less fun it becomes. Every special done pauses the game for 3 sec or so to show a flashy attack. When 3 of 4 are able to pause the screen like that and frequently the flow of the game is really ruined.

Toast. My God. Why does it always have to be toast?

 

[Albino Boo]

I believe that someone in Nottingham was mugged by using a toaster as a weapon. So be careful out there

 

[LogicNProportion]

The fact that you posted a Sephiroth quote has me squealing my fangirls screams into what was otherwise a very dreary, soul-crushing day.

I-I'm so happy...!!! ^.^

 

[Gigaguy64]

Hahaha nice.
Too bad its not as good as i had hoped it would be.
ill still probably get it just because it looks like a fun Hack n Slash...
As soon as im done enjoying Strania:The Stella machine.
Seriously, this game is awesome.
Dat soundtrack.

 

[PrinceofPersia]

But, but Toast is awesome and tasty! Not to mention you can spread so many tasty condiments on it.

Also, who dresses the protagonists of this game?! It's like the walked into the Arc System Works dressing room in the dark. While intoxicated.

I can't even tell what the blonde one is? Boy? Girl? I guess it doesn't matter so long as I mash attack.

But for a square game the girl (the one on the right) is practically dressed.
Well more practical then most of their games. Blond one i suspect is a guy.

 

[Shirokurou]

An Advent Children reference? I mean seriously

A come on, you can pretend it's a Dissidia reference

Anyway, this one was actually really funny.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Russian members of parliament who all transform into a giant, segmented, centipede monster

Yeah...can't really see that being remade...

After the demo I had to let the title go. It was a pretty weak version of even Strider. Everything is so generic. At least in grinder games like Castlevania HD or even Lost Planet 2 they made each location rich and unique. If you're going to be playing the levels over and over at least it's nice to look at and the enemies are crazy looking. Moon Diver had the grinding feel the first runthrough.

Now if they went with the whole After Dark crazy insane shit like the comic suggests I might have been tempted. 4 player co op games get a lot of passes just because they're 4 player co op but this one was barely even phoned in.

I wouldn't say it's a bad game overall. But it is 1200 points and that's very hard to recommend when vastly superior titles like Outland and Dishwasher: Vampire Smile are available for 800.

What song was the reference for this time? Couldn't find it on google when searching "dropped out of college and think noam chomsky". Anyone has a clue?

The track is "I think I'm Noam Chomsky" by Sole.
