Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Shadow Complex: The last liberal is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace. (new OP)

Took the words right out of my mouth. Anyone know when Live games usually drop on their release dates? Do they try to put them out around midnight, or will Shadow Complex probably not be available until mid-afternoon tomorrow?
It's typically 4 a.m. or 5 a.m. EST. Not worth waiting up for, IMO, but definitely worth downloading while I'm trying to get ready for work and my wife is mad because we're running late getting out of the house on time!
Empty is the point.
It's not a barren, claustrophobic, alien wasteland otherwise.
Super Metroid came out when I was 11 years old. I rented it the day it came out.
It scared the hell out of me as a kid.
I think that's the thing. You have to have played it when it first came out.
I still stress that going in blind is the best approach, and thus stuff like this shouldn't be viewed.
And I wish people would stop using Metroidvania for this. Controid is a better fit, Flashbatroid is even better.

Man.
The combat in this game is leagues beyond what we've seen in this genre.
Even more hyped.
Nah, man, you just need to have an imagination.
Rrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why isn't it Wednesday.
Someone else do the math for me. My brain hurts.

Possibly 2am tonight?
Nooooooo! D:
Oh well, if it's as good as everyone says it is this may not be a big thing.
I hope you're right, being a night owl I will get in at least two hours of this before going to sleep!
I haven't read every post, but what kind of achievements will there be? Do we know?

It is fantastic, but this (and it being a bit too easy) is what stood between this being a 9 and a 10 in my review. The bad about this game is basically: enemy variety, AI is dumb (and doesn't get smarter on higher difficulties; they just deal more damage) and in tandem with that the game is too easy.
The enemy varieties are basically as follows:

So awesome. I love Flashbacontroid games! Especially 2.5D ones! :lol:

Edit: I loved Flasback, but I could never get it to save my game
RE: Bosses
I thought Flashback had a password system?
If you think about this genre, the enemies were never a challenge anyway. In Metroid the challenge isn't so much the many cannon-fodder creatures for Samus to obliterate so much as it is the big set piece bosses and the planet itself. Shadow Complex is the same way. The bosses are a little testing til you work out their weak points and there are some sections of the game with lovely insta-death pits and such that are hard to avoid even with the best skills in the game which provide difficulty, though.

Fixed.
It's 4:33PM on Tuesday PST. It may be up 2-3AM on Wednesday PST. You have at least 10 hours to go.
Right. 1:47 am here. I'm off to bed to sleep really hard.
Sometimes, ever so rarely, the work internet filters work in my favor. I know the game comes out tonight and I would like to go into it fresh. I am also a tad weak willed when it comes to spoilers. My insatiable curiousity can be a pain!
Any benefit to buying points off of Amazon?
Holy shit this looks fun. I was tenatively wondering if I should get this. That video pretty much cinched it. Don't watch if you're definitely gonna get it anyway though.
Don't have to pay tax on them.

It's the only way I can think of to not-sketchily buy points digitally (i.e. without having to get a physical scratch-off card) while not giving Microsoft your credit card information, since the Live customer support will flat-out refuse to remove your CC info from your account, even if your 360 is stolen.
Until the end of the month, you get $5 to spend in their mp3 store, and my CC isn't on my xbox account.
But depending on your state there is still tax
It can vary from store to store, too. Target does not charge me tax on funbux, but GameStop does. (Colorado Springs in the chance that there is anybody else from this city reading my post)
