Alfonzo Posted July 23, 2010 Finally, a fantastical side scroller slash platformer type game thing that I can actually look forward to! Why, I havn't touched its like since Captain Claw, or that other one with the ape that looks like a donkey! Thanks a million Jodders. I want too! 0 Share this post Link to post
Planky Posted July 23, 2010 I went and bought Trine because of this, I'm loving it so far 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted July 23, 2010 No, no, no... - Slow paced gameplay (like Mario 3 with the mini goombas crawling on you) - Style over substance - Ultra formulaic, overused premise - Gratuitous use of color But I guess if all you want is eye candy and a happy-go-lucky storyline then go for it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Phml Posted July 24, 2010 - Slow paced gameplay This kind of comment about a platformer in which you can go as fast as you want baffles me ; sure, you can purposefully stop and take more time than is truly needed to play the game, but it's a personal choice and not the way you have to play. Do you also consider classic Doom and Quake to have slow paced gameplay simply because the player can choose to hide behind corners, shoot a few zombies and rest as long as he wants ? One of the most commonly heard complaints these days from gamers is that streamlined experiences make games dull and bland, yet when developers actually give players a choice, such as rhythm, some will then shoehorn themselves into the safest option and complain the game isn't fun that way, rather than try to play differently. 0 Share this post Link to post

Stacking boxes and planks to get past some arbitrary obstacles that I can't ninja rope in any way seems slow and boring to me regardless of how fast I can do it. Same goes for 'combat', repetitive and boring regardless if it's melee, shooting arrows or dropping stuff on their heads the enemies are all helpless fodder posing no challenge at all. The forge with all the lava and the final boss level were the only remotely interesting ones. Style over substance is an accurate description I'd use as well. I'd rather play Lost Vikings again than waste time with the sequel. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nomad Posted July 24, 2010 I would LOVE to see a new Keen game like this. 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted July 24, 2010 Jodwin said:Doom?What about Doom? Sure, it had an absurd premise, but it didn't force a shitty story down your throat by making you watch torturous introductions and cringeworthy cutscenes. I feel like modern video games have taken all of the gameplay depth of an AddictingGames.com flash game and combined it with the artistic quality of a $3 straight-to-DVD animated movie to create epic titles that shiteating gamers buy by the millions. One example of this: Monster Hunter 3. Well, I for one love the fairy tale-like atmosphere of Trine. It's a welcome change of pace after, well, everything else in video games. Yes because games like World of Warcraft, Dragon's Quest, Final Fantasy, Animal Crossing, are clearly undersupported and underdeveloped. 0 Share this post Link to post
