Scott Pilgrim: The Game

Saw THIS thread posted and locked in the Everything Else forum, but couldn't find a thing about the game over here.

Played the PS3 demo, and it was extremely 8-bit and rather awesome.

Be warned, it is super hard. The levels are long as hell and there aren't any checkpoints. I plan to head back and bang my head against it for a lot longer before I give up though, which must mean that it is fun.

Three suggestions:
1- Bionic Arm
2- Bionic Arm
3- Bionic Arm

It's in the secret shop in the underpass, and it gives you +50 STR. Grab it, and you can rock worlds with ease.

I assume that you need a friend or two to really get through the game (sort of like Castle Crashers). Because of that, I was thinking about going for the 360 version... however it seems like there's no online play at all. Not even any "drop in/drop out" co-op, which seems kind of weird.

Still might go for the game anyway because my brother and I seem to be able to have fun slogging through these sorts of things (hell, we went through the Watchmen game together!).

You know what? I've been playing it single player for a bit and, although I died on the first level the first time I played, I gathered lots of money and was able to buy stat boosters to help out. Even a +10 to strength is a huge help and makes a single player game much more straightforward.

Up to now, I love this little game: it's gorgeous, the music is great, and it definitely scratches that River City Ransom itch.

Warning: The last level is looooooong, and just when you think you're at the end, you are most assuredly not.

Is this out for XBL yet? Or is that tomorrow?

I bought it for PS3, but now I'm wishing I waited. I know it doesn't have online, but.....achievements. I have barely played it because its too hard with only 1 player. Oh well, its only money, right?

It's released on August 25th.

Enjoyed the hell out of what I played thus far. I want to 100% this game with friends.

The book shop and record shop in level 1 have some stat boosting items that can help a lot. I struggled at first, but monstered it, single player, after grinding the first two levels a couple of times. The subspace areas are good for cash if you kill all of the flying pigs. Once you level up and unlock some attacks and buy some items, it is a lot of fun rather than frustration.

The secret shop helped me in my first play through, especially bionic arm, but I am trying to avoid it this time. I had a look at the shopping guide on gamefaqs after my first run-through , and it is possible to max all stats with around $600, apparently, without using any of the premium items from the secret shop.

Going back and replaying with another character, I found it much easier; combat is about rhythms and patterns.

Revival: http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/...

The game is getting online co-op and a new character: Wallace Wells. A PS3 version of the DLC is unconfirmed.

Hey, here's a great idea for DLC for this game. A PC version!

$5 DLC for a 2-year-old game? They've got guts, I'll give em that. (Guts +7)

Guts is a word for it, I'll grant you that.

I'll grant you that guts is a word.

With nothing more than a new character and online play, it seems like a pretty thin proposition for something 1/3 the price of the original game. Still, I'm glad to see Scott Pilgrim get some love.

PS3 version confirmed. Bought but never played. If you're giving the DLC a go, SuperDave, I'd love to join you.

Good stuff. It's been a very long time since I've played a brawler, not to mention a good one, and having online play is a steep hill of frosting on top. If I liked frosting.

They said more details to follow, so there maybe more to the content than we know now.

$5 Guess I'll not be joining anyone on the PS3 for this. Already played through once, but the wife refuses to touch it b/c it's Scott Pilgrim.

Saw this tweeted and thought the Scott Pilgrim fans might be interested... It's a collection of pixel art and artist sketches for the game. Really cool to browse.

Why does your wife hate Scott Pilgrim?

Because. Because it gained popularity beyond what she thought it deserved. She's not a big fan of certain things in American culture, and this property hits one of those chords.

I think she's confused with a different popular geek property. She does know the movie tanked, no? Or, is it just one of those things people don't like to let go of for whatever reason that makes them bitter?

Do you have to buy the Wallace DLC to get the online?

Are they ever going to release a patch to fix the glitch? I am literally on the last level to fight Gideon and it always freezes at some point during the fight. This game is never going to get out of my pile...

Does it only freeze when completing with Scott? Or is it any character?

Well, it only took 9 months.

I'll wait for online impressions before I pick it up. Anyone interested in co-op?

A friend and I have been planning this for nine months. Whenever we play I'll let you know. It is four player right?
