@jakob187: Jeff does mention Let It Die and Uncle Death at the very beginning of the Best New Character deliberations, but at that point he hadn't seen enough of him to really put up a good defense.
I just got to that part. It really makes me wish someone had told them before the deliberations to put about ten more hours into that game, then look up the ending to the game to see where that character goes. Then again, the ending to that game might be one of the best moments of the year also.
@jakob187: The game came out just as they were recording these so they didn't have time to play enough of the game to give it much of a chance. Jeff did say on this deliberation and on Twitter that it wouldn't have had a chance on the top 3 of the Styyyyyyyyle category regardless. It won't be up for consideration next year because they go strictly by years.
I hadn't watched this yet, so I guess that makes sense.
Sadness. I would be curious to see if they still feel that way now that they've had even more time with the game.
So I'm assuming that between Best Styyyyyyle and Best Looking game not having Let It Die nominated in either of them, it was not up for contention in the awards this year? Will they be considered next year?
Can any staff confirm this? It just seems absolutely flabbergasting that it wouldn't be included if it WAS in contention.
Am I the only person that felt like Arkham Asylum was the only genuinely good game out of them all, and that everything released afterward was a bit too try-hard in the same vein as Matrix Reloaded was to the original Matrix?
From what I've heard people say, City was a good game, but I didn't enjoy a second of it. The world was a bit too open, and most of the stuff that you could do in that open world felt menial and unimportant. There was also something a bit...uneven?...about the overall arch of the story. I don't know. I can't pinpoint exactly what it was that I didn't like. Asylum just felt like this tight, concise experience, and maybe I just don't feel like they can honestly top that.
I just can't get into it. Then again, I'm not a big fan of most of the post-Downward Spiral stuff that NIN has done. A few songs here and there have been good, but I feel like Trent went a little too avant garde after that, and I just can't follow along.
Mad respect to him for the work that he does, though.
MAN the boss on lvl 23 is savage. Any tips on what I should spec for to beat him?
Steel Axe w/ mastery level 20, Cloak mushroom or Slow mushroom, Stingshroom (from killing Scorpions), Infinite Stamina shroom, and a maxed out Grade 3 character. Makes it fairly easy. Having a Lifeshroom (from killing pillbugs) helps if your duration times run out on any of those. Stingshroom is the most important, as it increases your attack by 120%.
I'll be honest: past floor 23, abusing those mushrooms is HUGE.
