The above video is a SPOILER*. While I am not trying to ruin the experience for anyone, I think it is only fair to share a lengthy gameplay video for those on the fence about the game. View it at your own risk, people!!
However, feel free to ignore this post if Nintendo decides to put up a demo of the game tomorrow.
@spannu: Hold the phones, this just in. Exclusive pre beta footage of Coldstone: Scoop It Up" has been leaked. Career mode looks really deep, full control of the sizes and colors of my ice cream buckets. And Rush hour mode looks intriguing as well. Day 1 purchase for wii owners I think.
I've kind of been interested in Fighting Fantasy: Warlock of Firetop Mountain for awhile although I'm going to hold out until some player reviews come in as...it has potential but potential is a two sided blade.
Potential to be a cool little first person dungeon crawler in portable format or potential to be a complete turd full of everything that makes me dislike playing rpg games at times including repetitive levels, shallow skill choices, very limited monster variety, derivative story, cliche setting etc...
@Sobersean: aka Doctor Aquafresh: Same, but for me its likening it to the old school PC RPGs. I hear its a main town with one, large, ever deepening dungeon type game.
@Ken: Yeah, one of my favorite DS games is an homage to the old school dungeon crawler, Etrian Odyssey 2, which is the same concept in a slightly comparable way, although party based it shares the same motivations of being a single town with a deep dungeon nearby for delving into.
So of course I became interested in this one (although not really comparable in essence to Etrian Odyssey) I am a fan of the 'genre', and hope this will be a good game.
Off the topic but somewhat related I'm hoping that some of these amazing Wizardry games for the DS get translated one day as they've just released a remake of the first Wizardry game in Japan last week and it looks downright entralling with the overhaul treatment they've given it. Way jealous of those that can understand the language and can play it.
The DS has been very bland for me. Outside of Devil Survivor, there hasn't been much to entice me to the platform. I don't care much for Kingdom Hearts (I own, but still need to play the PS2 games) and the Phantasy Star game is just more Phantasy Star.
Nostalgia got "meh" reviews and I dont want another cliche'd RPG, so that doesn't leave me with many options. I'm still hoping for a FFVI remake or a price drop on DQV.
@Ken: You know, the game I play most on my DS is a game called Jewel Quest expeditions heh, I recommend that to anyone who likes any kind of puzzle or 'match 3' style game, in the vein of Bejeweled. It's not an rpg or anything but just on the topic of quality ds games, that one is addicting and worth playing during the times when there's not much else to play. I can play that game for four hours at a stretch while watching tv and not even realize the time that went by.
And last thing before I go, pretty soon we get Might and Magic Clash of Heroes which looks pretty compelling, I think next week is the release of that puzzler/strat rpg hybrid.
@Sobersean: aka Doctor Aquafresh: My "filler" is Picross and I want the 3D one as soon as it comes to the States. I can't get into the match 3 games, for some reason. Puzzle Quest put me to sleep. It's a shame, really.
I definitely want to get The Zombie Island of Dr Ned, but Pitchford has mentioned the possibility of raising the level cap in future DLC.
Considering I've hit Lv 50, I'm wondering whether I should wait for the next DLC in the hope that it will indeed raise the cap, and get all the packs at that point.
@Antiterra: Get it now and just work on a new character. Wouldn't want to miss all the fun that comes with something new when it first comes out incase the level cap never raises.
@emcglone316: But it's not like I'm hurting for games to play. I haven't even touched Tekken 6 or AC2 yet...
And there isn't much motivation to start from scratch when the game is completely devoid of story or even slight variations in the missions depending on which character you play.
I'd just be playing through the same missions for the third time, with no skills and lousy equipment.
...Sounds like I just talked myself into a decision, after all.
wait... another EA sports active, already? Wow, someone at EA is trying to get the share price up so they can cash out some options to pay for a very sexy hooker.
Other than that, New SMB will gnaw at me like a baby shark until I buy it (hopefully pre-Thanksgiving) and GoW collection will be a nice purchase for the winter blahs.
L4D2 is someone else's good time and Assassin's Creed 2 will have to wait until I can make time for the first one.
And again, if I could just buy the tofu shooting sequences from Darkside Chronicles, I might consider that. #weekingames
Assasins creed 2 is already on sale in samborns México . And Games are 3x2 until tomorrow.. However for now i just bought NSMBwii and the another montion plus... Much wii on my near future #weekingames
Picked up New Super Mario Bros. today and played through the first two levels with my girlfriend. Great fun that's a little frustrating at times because of how your characters can bump into/off of each other.
I'm going to wait on a review for Assassin's Creed 2, and I might pick up God of War collection because I got rid of my PS2 when the Xbox launched and I never got to play them. Also thinking about Petz Dogz Talent Show. Oh, wait, no I'm not, I'd rather slam my dick in a sliding glass door. #weekingames
would've love to buy the god of war collection, but i need to save some moola for this coming black friday...yeah i'm looking at you
Dragon age and your lovely $40 price tag :3 #weekingames

God, Coldstone is so good. For whatever sins you may commit, Coldstone, know that you will always be forgiven.
P.S.: No, seriously, I'm going out for Coldstone now, specifically because of this post.
