Anon 181 "The only arcade game Id pay 1600 points for is street fighter remix H.D." you said a MOUTH FULL buddy! I've been waiting and waiting, chatting on and off in random games of Street Fighter II Hyperfighting (no answer), Dead of Alive 4 (no answer), Street Fighter Anniversary (Street Fighter III: Third Strike (again, no answer). WHERE is it? I honestly hope that they are perfecting - removing the lag issue that plagues Street Fighter II Hyperfighting during online match-ups!

Its good, but its extremely short for $20, considering it has no multiplayer and no replay value. Wouldn't buy new episodes at this price point.

Why do people blame Live for everything? Anon195- if the game doesn't work, it's the developers fault.

It's almost like the PA guys are performing some sort of social experiment on us all. Well, you won't get me.

1600 points is high...but the game is great. I've laughed out loud a lot and the game looks fantastic. I thought the gameplay was interesting as well. I certainly wont pay 1600 for just any game, but this one was worth it to me.

I really wanted to like this one but couldn't. I'm a daily reader of Penny Arcade but I just can't get into this. The graphics are great but the gameplay was unimaginative to me and I just didn't have fun. Felt like a cheap NES RPG rather than the Final Fantasy with comics feel they were going for. Add on top of that the $20 asking price.... I'll pass.

Jesus H, you'd think we'd at least TRY to get along with each other. :p Oh, well.

Anywho...played the demo. Enjoyed it. Will probably buy it, since having the opportunity to beat on Fruit F***ers at your leisure is certainly worth the $20 admission fee in my eyes. And I haven't really heard any concrete evidence that the other three episodes are going to be $20, so there's still hope.

Sounds like the only one butthurt here is you, SidearmS. Sorry for capitalizing the A.

@ AblativMeatshld:

You again... WTF?, did someone put stupid pills in the water supply?

"Idiot. You realize this game, and all future episodes, are purchased soley for direct download? That there will not be any copies in stores?"

Really, how do you know this? Do you have insider info on what the PA are going to do with their own game? Do you have COMPLETE TOTAL KNOWLEDGE that their game will never see the light of DVD pressing? Seriously, I want to know how you know this.

I mentioned this earlier, and for you, I will mention it again - Sam And Max Season 1 is your blueprint on how to do this right. I even provided the original 1Up link. But since you are not thinking correctly (I know this because you and I have danced verbally already before this, and you still have not learned anything...), you never read that I am sure. Just like Computerdude103 not reading the fine print on the DRM page. But once he was shown the line, he went 180 degrees on his stance in under four pages of posts. To understand is better than to be a hollow victor. Do you get it?

"Gods, the parade of morons is freaking PAINFUL..." - I know, when I see you butcher an argument the way you just did, I think THE EXACT SAME THING...

Idiot? Not really, just someone (unlike you) who tries to see the big picture on things. And you notice sometimes I succeed. Oblivion is a good example of when a vendor understands you can have it both ways if you think about it.

Was I pleased when the expansion disc did not have the smaller markerplace content? No, but it did include the biggest two for $10 less than the DLC verisons. And I had a disc to boot. So forgive my ignorance, but how is that a bad thing?

You want pudwhack Gabe and Tycho? Your dime. But keep me out of your rants until you get some common sense about things.

XBox 360 - Yup, definately stupid pills in the water today...

@ Anon 171:

First - Oh put a sock in it loser.

Second of all, put the capitalization where it counts dillhole. SidearmS, as in tribute to the classic Capcom game of the same name (which had the A as well but at the time Capcom was name possessive). You lousy punk suck a shotgun.

Third, it must have hit you hard, because you mentioned it. So sorry I drubbed you somewhere else in time, but you know what? I don't care. What the F**K have you tried to make better on XBL or the 360 community? I have championing DRM change for nearly two years. I locked horns with Chip Lange and EA Tom. You? *CRICKETS*....

Finally, I have never backed down from anything on this blog, and I sure as heck won't start with you. So feel free to add something to YOUR Anon blog post that can put a target on your head. I have been doing that pretty much since I got here.

I could make several mom jokes at your expense right now due to the nature of your post, but I don't consider a teaching a baby to breathe to be a real challenge.

XBox 360 - That buttsore feeling you are experiencing? Envy. Live with it...

Not worth 800 pts, the demo is horrible.

I live in the UK and it wont let me download the demo either. What with the ridiculous price tag and the fact that half the people that should be able to download it, are unable to download it, I'm sure sales will be through the roof...lol

Yes, this game is pure awesome. At LEAST download the demo before judging it.
