  Thank God for this Quick Look.  I was thinking of getting it, knowing full well it's a Puzzle Quest rip off.  Now that I see how mind-numbingly mundane it is, I'm definitely gonna pass.

  PlatypusPlatoon commented on Ryan's editorial review LEGO Rock Band
  I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned anywhere that you can't take this online, which is a major step backwards from the last few Rock Band games.  That's a deal-breaker for me, and I don't understand why this game didn't implement any online functionality when they clearly use the rest of the Rock Band technology.

  PlatypusPlatoon commented on Brad's editorial review Torchlight
  Torchliiiiiiiiiiiiight!  4 stars seems about right.  It lacks the polish and infectious personality of triple-A titles from the house of Warcraft, but gets all the little gameplay elements right.  They've taken the best elements from Diablo and WoW, fixed all the niggling annoyances, and deftly streamlined the experience, so that all you need to care about is clicking monsters and picking up hordes of loot.  However, I will say that ...

  PlatypusPlatoon commented on Ryan's editorial review Grand Theft Auto IV
  Ryan didn't like it.  Many  other reviewers did.  So what?  Are we still at the point where we care what rating professional journalists give to a game, even after we've played through it, and already formed an opinion for ourselves?  Reviews are there to aid the decision making process in a purchase.  Should I plunk down $20 (or $60, or what have you) of my hard earned dollars?  As with ...

  PlatypusPlatoon commented on the achievement How Could I Dance with Another?
  Goddamn, this is difficult.  If you can't get it, I don't recommend attempting it over and over again in one sitting, because it's tiring.  Come back and try it again another day when you're fresh.  Like Roughmar, I double tapped at one point in the middle of the song, lost my multiplier, but kept on playing, figuring it would be good practice.  I didn't make another mistake and to my ...

  PlatypusPlatoon commented on the achievement Like a Million Suns
  Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the song I got it on.  We had the Vocalist, Guitar, and Bass on Hard, and Drums on Expert.  This is likely the easiest song to get the achievement on, as we were far from perfect, but still cleared 1 million by a fair amount.  Just make sure you sync up your band multipliers to get the 8x bonus, and it's smooth sailing. ...

  PlatypusPlatoon replied to the topic A question for singers in the The Beatles: Rock Band board.
  In story mode, did anyone notice that for the last song in every chapter, the pitch detection is more strict?  Last night I finished Chapters 1 and 2 on vocals on hard, and on the fourth song in each set, the pitch bars were noticeably narrower.  The first time this happened, I thought I moved up to expert by mistake, so I restarted.  Nope, still narrower pitch bars.

  PlatypusPlatoon replied to the topic Which review scoring system do you perfer?
  I like 10 point.  Like the poster above me mentioned, you could implement it as 5 stars with half stars.  Gives you a little more granularity, and lets you separate out all those "average" 3-star games into 2.5, 3, or 3.5 stars, so it's a little easier to tell if something is worth trying or not.  Right now, I just see 3-star, and I automatically skip the game, but perhaps ...
