Trials looks pretty insane.

For those of you with PCs and Steam, you can check out a demo of Trials 2 and get an idea of what it's like. I love it enough that I might pick up the 360 version even though I already own the PC version.

Wow, that Trials video is insane.

About how long a game is Trials?

Rumor: NinjaBee disc compilation releasing this fall

Spoiler:
It appears that a disc compilation of NinjaBee's Xbox 360 DLC games is in the works for this fall. The NinjaBee Critic's Choice Collection announcement comes courtesy of a GameFly post which, if history serves us properly, are typically not speculative. The only thing that may be buzzing in our ear as bee-ing iffy is the release date of October 15.

We've contacted NinjaBee for confirmation, but were told that it couldn't provide us any information at this time. Although we're unaware of what games would be on the disc, NinjaBee's titles include: Outpost Kaloki, A Kingdom for Keflings, Cloning Clyde, Band of Bugs and many more. We're leaving the hive door open if the company wants to give us the buzz.

Update: Officially, the company stated it does not comment on rumor and speculation; we were also told to "watch carefully for an upcoming announcement." But, when explaining the company's philosophy, a representative said, "If we were to do something like that, we would want to pack as much as we can onto a disc ... we'd want to offer a good value there."

Interested.

Trials is too fucking brutal for me to even think about. I got it on Steam when it was 99 cents once.

Anyway, I am only a Silver Live member right now, do I need to upgrade to Gold to grab TMNT?

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
 
Nope, it's isn't a Gold-only deal, it'll be 800 points for everyone.

Going back through Splosion Man to get the cakes I missed. Missed surprisingly few on 1-* and 3-* and finished those off. It's very satisfying to find it. I still am missing 9/15 on 2-* though :lol: I can tell I was just trying to get through the levels.

Amazing too how much quicker I can get through them now. I think I shaved 14 minutes off one of my levels :lol:

There has been one for me (I think it was 2-11) that took me more than twenty minutes to get through (it's one with exploding barrels and the swinging spike strips, if you missed one, you were done).

I still have yet to take the WotC, so I've got that going for me.

pinata242 07-31-09 06:20 PM

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
 
Ditto on WotC. Though I do feel like I missed something by not seeing it yet.

I'm pissed. my brother in law to be was playing and he took it on something like 1-6. I walked in and saw Splodey wearing the tutu and I was like "WTF?!"

And the woman wonders why i make her sign in on her own account...

Does she wonder why you refer to her as your brother in law?

It's too late now, but I'd like to ask them why the scientists filled their labs with hot, bubbling acid when ankle-deep pure water is instantly fatal to Splosion Man.

My daughter was watching me fail over and over again tonight and she said "You LOOOVVE that game and you NEVER win". -ohbfrank- As they say : 'Out of the mouths of babes oft times come gems'

Talk about judgemental. I'd dump her.

Not too late. We won't be talking them till the end of this coming week at the earliest. And it's a hilarious question. :lol:

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
 
I thought it was pretty obvious that the acid was meant for all the other monstrosities they've created. I do find it odd that after years of education and dedicated research, the scientist are eager to throw themselves into a pit of the stuff, though.

Along the same lines, what kind of laboratory has a machine that dispenses fat scientists (or exploding barrels, for that matter)?

Ask them why 2-5 and 2-6 are assholes.

Decker 08-02-09 09:53 AM

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
 
It's 2-6 that's presently kicking my ass and it took a while to beat 2-5 as well.

pinata242 08-02-09 09:55 AM

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
 
Easily the hardest parts of the game, so chin-up.

UncleGramps 08-02-09 10:01 AM

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
 
I'm up to 3-2, and if 2-5 and 2-6 is as bad as it gets, I should be good to go from here. I don't remember getting too frustrated on any level so far. I'll have to go back to 2-5 and 2-6 again and refresh my memory.

Decker 08-02-09 10:06 AM

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
 
Well, that's encouraging at least. Thanks.

Indeed. It seems as though the entire laboratory was designed with traps, barrels, and jumps that can only be accomplished/navigated by a multiple-explosion-capable anomaly. Where's the realism, I ask you?!

Went to download the demo for mvc2. I load it up and it wont let me play a single player match. Not even online multiplayer :wtf: So basically a complete waste. This has to be the worse xbla trial. What the fuck was Capcom thinking???
