Wikis are amazing. Last time I had to go on the Terraria wiki it advised me that the cell phone item is actually a reference to Kirby & The Amazing Mirror because it too had a cell phone in it.

The Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader page on Wookiepedia is almost 100,000 words long which is longer than like half the novels in the English canon.

Finished Guacamelee. Darned good game, though some of those platforming challenges were utter bastards near the end, jesus. Got a bad ending though, I assume you get better by beating it on Hard, but ehn.

Luckily the checkpointing in the game was hypertolerant (usually) and among bullshit challenges platforming ones are probably the ones I can best adapt to / find least frustrating

No, you need to get pieces of this mask throughout the game, which are usually behind some real twitch platforming stuff. Personally I think the bad ending is better than the good one.

Playing through Twilight Princess again got me thinking. Are there any "Zelda clones" out there? Metroidvanias are kind of a dime-a-dozen these days so I'm wondering if anything really captures that ol' Zelda formula in the same way.

All I can think of is Okami and Darksiders.

I guess Wonderboy 6 / Monster World 4 counts as a Zelda 2 clone but I wasn't going in that direction.

i wasn't saying the binding of isaac is good. in fact i think it's terrible and can't really take people who love it seriously. i guess its just not for me!

Did you play Gold of Super Turbo? I thought Super Turbo's extra content was really fun except for the teleporting enemies that break the flow of the game, which is one of those cases of loving with a perfect formula until you ruin it.

Oh it does, don't get me wrong! I just foolishly went into it not expecting any roguelike mechanics. I actually thought it was a Castlevania clone because I was too dumb to read a single word about it before playing.

Once I got the hang of it I started to like it more.

I'm getting near the end, just bear in mind it's a looong game, you'll be playing it for a while. Most zelda games have 8 dungeons, this game has close to 20. It is very Zelda though.

Make sure to use save points as frequently as you can so you don't lose lots of progress (they're usually around the center of a dungeon rather than at the end, although some dungeons do provide shortcuts to get to the end from the save point).

That whole underground city, and the 3-headed boss, that poo poo's all new. So's the volcano. The enemies I refer to are the black boned ones that vanish while you combo them, which I really think breaks the flow of combat and are a misstep. The intenso meter is also new. It's a lot of new content!

Super Turbo also balanced the game more because Gold had some ridiculous difficulty spikes.

Huh, I wouldn't really have guessed the Intensometer wasn't in the original, I felt like I genuinely needed that thing during a couple of the later fights

Also I know a lot of people :rolleyes:d at the callouts and somewhat memetic nature of some of the dialog but I thought some of it was quite funny :shobon:

(but then I also busted a gut at Juan getting the No Power upgrade and raising his fist to the skies raging at an uncaring god, so y'know, sense of humor might be underdeveloped)

Guacamelee so far feels less like a metroidvania and more like a brawler with the odd hidden collectible

I think I'm like almost to the end of disc one. There's a whole load of backtracking.

the backtracking gets worse and worse over the whole game because it never closes off old areas, so in the last areas you can sometimes be forced to walk across the entire game world to get an item
