GRR Launch Good Vibe Thread

[PVB]

In response to someone not feeling GRR is intense/exciting to play (at the lower difficulties), I said this:

I see it as a more chillout game than Space Giraffe, so more like Katamari rather than Ikaruga.

[IronGiant]

Who said that then?

Agreed with your response - it's a very chilled out game, but steadily becoming more and more frenetic. Our old friend Stu Campbell found the demo too easy and that appears to have put him off it. I found it just right, good enough as an intro and to hook me in and encourage me to buy the full version. If it had been too hard it would have put me off - so very hard to get these things just right of course.

No need for names, just someone who prefers an SG type of challenge.

Once they get to Phaal they'll get intense.

Congrats on shipping guys! I hope it sells millions!

If there's any justice in the world it will - or at least hundreds of thousands. Well, it would if I had my way.

Thank *fuck* for Sheepie Save!

Just done level 30 on Madras. I'm looking at this browser now, and all I can see are spots. Also I keep trying to shoot things with my mouse. Is that normal?

Yup.

Many times I've gone to bed and seen spots/flashes when I've closed my eyes.

For me, as a casual gamer, I think it is pitched just right. I've done the first 20 levels, found them really enjoyable but still knowing that I wasn't getting the best scores out of them.

I started playing the next level up and I got it, but I knew if I'd been pitched it at that intenstity from the off, or soon after, I would have been overwhelmed by it, much like I was SG PC. For me, and I suspect a good number of other potential game players, it's perfect.

I also think I might have another go at SG PC now, I feel like I've been eased in to the gameplay now and more able to tackle it.

GO FOR IT MAN ! GO !

Yesterday after quite long time I wasn't touching it I had another go Space Giraffe on the plasma.

I must have got "that thing" because "just for" I started from level 23 .. and I went quite a fuck load of levels on just
"following the stream" ...

And the more I was playing that game that more I was thinking "FOOK ME ! I DON'T CARE what some people said, this thing is AWESOME".

Maybe it really is a bit "too beyond for its time" .. but I am sure in 10 years time they'll be still talking about it.

You play it and it really plays "like nothing else" .. it's a stream .. it's a stream of emotions that blends within ...

Maybe not commercially, but I really believe this is maybe the "Magnum Opus" of LS/Jeff .. so far at least .. we'll see what
else will come in the future

I just got a new one


you cunts - probably won't sleep tonight now !

Sneaky - on at least two levels. But I thought it was "Be at cause over..."?

aha, but you haven't the.. er, "benefit"... of my thorough study of the ways of the Scilons. They love altering normal language so it's a bit odd. One isn't "at cause over" something, one *is* cause. Similarly one isn't "affected by" something, one "is an effect" of something.

So if you are an effect of MEST you're a rubbish thetan. All the best thetans are cause over MEST.
