The World Ends With You
« on: June 22, 2008, 02:19:00 PM »

Okay, so this game is awesome. It's up there with NSMB on must buy titles. So lets all give SE a blowjob talk about the game here.

I do have some gripes with the game, actually. First off I absolutely hate those pigs  :fuckoff: :fukit: :fuckoff:
They're okay when the game doesn't force you to go through a tower killing them in each floor while disabling all but one brand of pins to get to the secret boss, but the game just happens to do that, so fuck them.

Second, I found the game wouldn't let me activate some of my pins if I had three types that activated the same way.  :sadpanda:

Third, Taboo Noise are extremely retarded. I like to be able to hurt my enemies whenever I attack, not having to wait for my puck.  :facepalm:

Still, this game is awesome.

Once I found out that unbranded pins aren't affected, Pork City flew right by.

Nothing says you can't do the whole thing on Easy, including the EXTREMELY ORIGINAL boss at the end.  Not that I did, just saying.

I am playing on easy. You think I would put effort into a video game?
Anyway, pigs are still too damn strong/fast. What pins should I be using on them? I've been using Rhyme, the first shooting one you get, and a rising arc slashing one.

You can't kill the pigs with Rhyme on Easy?  Christ.

Just put all your attack boosting shit on your partner.  It's much easier to spam damage by jamming on the D-Pad like a coke fiend.

Also you should have gotten an obscenely strong unbranded "tap empty space to fire lightning" pin from one of the later bosses.  Throw that on and use Rhyme as your backup.

So, I've picked this up, and I'm on the Shiki chapter, Day 5.  I think I'm going to start over, however, realizing that I missed a few pigs.  Unless this game includes some sort of New Game + feature?

What irritates me about the game is the stupid dumb luck will kill me, destroying any progress I might've made.  The lesson learned is to save often.

...you should read that as "It's impossible to miss anything because there is a New Game + feature", because I read it the opposite way.

What irritates me about the game is the stupid dumb luck will kill me, destroying any progress I might've made.  The lesson learned is to save often.

Since every battle is self-contained and saving takes only a few stylus strokes, there's no reason not to save after every battle or cutscene.

Yeah, there's a knicknack that allows you to teleport between levels once you finish the game. 

That thing pretty much kicks ass.

I dinked around a bit with the whole idle Nintendo Wifi protocol thing that gives you bonus PP.  Also, bonus PP for not playing the game.  Nice touch.

The really fucked up part is when you realize that certain pins will only evolve with certain types of PP. OCD-types, beware! That way lies madness.

My favorite is the pin that does nothing and takes a million years to get to the maximum level, and when you do it just zaps right back to level 1.  You're supposed to have one of each level for it to do jack OR shit.  Though the partial invincibility you get from it happens to be one of the only reasonable ways to keep your partner from constantly draining your HP.

Still, if you're not playing the game with a strat guide in your lap and think there's going to be a reward for just evolving the damn thing all the way, it's a great way to instantly not give a shit about the uber pins.  Esp. seeing as how all you ever really need is FORCE LIGHTNING UNLEEMETED PAUWAAH!!!!.

The attacks that I've been mainly sticking with are a standard melee attack (the Masamune pin family), the ice pillar attack, the Shoryuken attack, and the pin that lets you drag the random things about the battlefield to damage the enemy.

My favorite death so far is during the sub-boss on the final day of Shiki's chapter.  Neku died from having a bus dropped on his head.

Man, I'm still pissed about not getting any key ingredient to the level power ups for characters. 

That and being weak.

Week 2, day 5-ish: [spoiler]I ran in to Reaper Beat again.  He keeps kicking my ass.  Even on easy.[/spoiler]

EDIT: Figures.  The next attempt I make after posting this, I win.
