So who all is getting Castle Crashers? (XBLA)

[jp]

New game from the makers of Alien Hominid(which is also slated for an XBLA release)/the guy who founded Newground.

Looks frickin' awesome. And 4P co-op over live? Hells yes please.

[YankeeH8er]

Count me in.

[jp]

Now... if only Guardian Heroes worked with the Saturn Netlink... :]


Good fucking times right there.

[jdeath13]

That looks bad-ass.... I shall purchase!

[jp]

Two years and one month later, Castle Crashers is finally out and recieving rave reviews.



GET IT!!!!! EVERYBODY!!!!! IT WILL BE TEH AWESOME!!!!!

[koda]

Been playing it-- it is indeed awesomeness. Way fun. =)

[Bruhaha69]

I'm gonna try it now and see how I like it.

[Advocate]

d/l'ing now.

[koda]

PS: I call green.

[jp]

I got dibs on the white guy (that I just unlocked).


Unfortunately, it is now class time. Nooooooooooo!!!!


Game is fecking AWESOME you guys!!!! For really reals!!!!

[Frogacuda]

I'm down. I'm a little busy tonight, though.

[Bruhaha69]

Well, it's definitely a side-scrolling slash/bash/beat em up. Not bad, but I'm not sure I'm buying it yet.

[jp]

I REALLY don't want to go to class.


Or go to work tonight.


GAH!!!!!

[koda]

Well, I might play as a different character depending on where everyone else is at. My green guy is already leveled somewhat... I could go for orange if we start fresh.

At any rate, I won't be back until pretty late tonight. =/

[Newport420]

I will definitely be DLing the demo. Its also a likely purchase given the coop.

[Advocate]

If I had money I would purchase this ...

I need this and GW2.

[Luminous]

I have to play the demo, but I am definitely interested. The only thing holding me back a bit is the price, I believe it is 1,200 points ($15).


I do love 4 player co-op......

[Bruhaha69]

Yeah, it's 1200 points. Should be 800 because I said so.

[DarthArcturus]

fuck another good game to get? There's Braid, the new galaga, and this? I'll try the demo and maybe I'll break down ;)

[koda]

This is well worth $15 as far as I'm concerned. Replay value seems to be pretty big... there are over 40 characters to unlock, each character can be leveled up to 99, there are weapons and pets to find and collect... not to mention, the game is just a lot of fun and has a lot of personality.

I mean, I guess you've got to like the idea of an online beat-'em-up, but I've played plenty of sixty-dollar games that weren't nearly as good as this.

[Advocate]

I am playing it ... OMG ... its fun and frustrating. I need help!

[DarthArcturus]

damn demo is awesome I want it but..I'm broke :redface:

[lordsnarf]

*Looks at his 360* with contempt. If I can get Live working, maybe I'll pick it up Monday. Hopefully the game will have at least a weekend's worth of staying power. :nod:

[Advocate]

4 player co-op, 40 characters to unlock, the game is long.

I say yes .... it has staying power.

[Luminous]

I played the demo last night. I really like the look and it will definitely be fun with 4 players. I initially balked at the $15, but I am going to get some more MS points so I will probably pick this up.

[Conjoshus]

When I'd play online co-op, several of us would get disconnected. It seems whenever I'm in a group of 3-4 we have serious issues during boss fights. By the end of the fight, someone gets dropped.

Lame.

[jp]

Yeah... I hear the network code is pretty bad.


Sucks.

[Hunter]

Id really like to buy this, but apparently Im only allowed to buy Marketplace content at random intervals. Apparently, Microsoft has decided it's not this week. Oh well.

[Advocate]

Its actually not code. I've found out its lag.

Whoever has bad lag gets booted. I was in a 4 player game and I was booted, cause of lag.

Sucks,

I do hope they fix this issue with more servers.

[koda]

Wouldn't netcode affect lag? Lag is a result. :p

[Advocate]

Wouldn't netcode affect lag? Lag is a result. :p

Hmmm ... well I was playing with guys on FIOS and Cable internet.

I use DSL.


Figure that one out.

[Hunter]

So the poorest person gets booted?


:rimshot:

[Advocate]

word.

[Hunter]

Elitist Bastards. I'm almost tempted to not give them the money they won't let me give them.

[Advocate]

i dont get how you can't ... also buzzed right now .. so excuse if i spell wrong or not pronounciate.

[Hunter]

It says it cant authorize my method of payment even though I've tried four different valid cards, one of them being the one they use to fucking bill me for live. So i can't buy points. Tried deleting and re-adding them. Tried buying on xbox.com. MS support says trhere is nothing they can do. Used to work fine, then just one day, poof. No more points for me. Whats wierd is, once in a blue moon, it works. So I try to stock up on everything I want on those lucky days.

[Advocate]

did you try going through the zune marketplace?

[Hunter]

Didn't know that's an option. I'll try that. Thx.

[Advocate]

sometimes when you try and buy MS points on xbox or the PC version ... it tries to also buy a years sub. If you have it auto take out ... then it gets confused and rejects it. Zune marketplace on the other hand is just a place to buy MS points, that's it.


Hope it worked.

Also: Level 25 bitches! And I have the Barbarian warrior ... level 5.

Anyone up for some co-op?

[Newport420]

Totally up for some coop. I have it now... Luminous and Cystic also both have it.

Blue Knight - 23
Gray Knight - 13
Barbarian - 5

Oh yeah baby! :)

Also we got the same thing where one or two people go the boot when it started lagging. Not sure if its connectiuon or net code, but the person ejected seemed to vary so who knows.

[Hunter]

Id love to. But im not sure how to get them on the Marketplace. Is it the software? Do i have to install it?

[Luminous]

Id love to. But im not sure how to get them on the Marketplace. Is it the software? Do i have to install it?


Why don't you just buy the 1600 point cards? Is that a problem as well?


Yes I have Castle Crashers as well, definitely a fun game.

Just log into your Live account using the Zune Marketplace (http://www.zune.com/) to be safe. That'll nullify any chance of them using your info to pay for Live (if they even do that in the 1st place on the Xbox Marketplace) AND you can buy 1200 points for $15 if you wish and not waste $20 for 1600 and have some left over.

you're welcome.

[Hunter]

Yes I have Castle Crashers as well, definitely a fun game.

1.) Because I'm lazy.

2.) Because I shouldn't have to.



EDIT: Also, doesn't work on Zune MP either. :|

[Luminous]

I pretty much always use points codes/cards, that way I know they are already paid for. It is definitely easier to just buy points when you want to, but at least the cards will let you get stuff.

I always have a balance in there so if there is something I really want I can just get it.

[Basil]

My 360 was red-ringed and I finally got it back yesterday. This was the second thing I did once I booted it back up (First was Bionic Commando: Rearmed).

My red ranger, er, knight is level 15!

[Newport420]

This is a great little co-op hack and slash. So far I have a gray knight at 19 and my blue one is a 23 I believe.

Luminous and I just collected the three pieces needed to sail away to the other land on the boat so that was a lot of fun to see some of the new areas. Always up for soem co-op so send me the invites if you need another knight! :)

[DarthArcturus]

I'm planning on buying this pretty soon. Hopefully I can hook up with some of you guys

[Hunter]

I'll try again today.

[Advocate]

I'm in ... if I'm not kicking ass in SC4.
