I hope it's not Live-heavy, so I can still enjoy it offline with friends. :)

[Combine 017]

I bet its going to be delayed some more.

[Bond]

This looks awesome. We should definitely play online co-op when it comes out.

[Swan]

Totally, wonder if adams internets willl be working by then

[Combine 017]

[BreakABone]

Only way for it to change would be a mod or admin.
And I don't see any mod in this thread. :ohreilly:

I call being the ice night!

I call orange or whatever its power is.

Bright and early in the morning soldier!;)

Orange is fire I think.

And what bright and early are we talking about here, yours or mine. Because if it is released at 12am ill stay up until 3am my time. Otherwise ill wake up at 9 or something.

I believe it comes out ike 5am my time.
So take into account my new sleeping schedule.
Around 8-9 AM your time.

[Fox 6]

I call the red dude!

[gekko]

[BreakABone]

Then we shall play it to the max!

Blue!

Are these one and the same?
I don't know what powers coordinate with what.
But figured blue=ice.

Anyhow looks like we got 4. So bright and early everyone! :lolz:

Haha, ya blue is ice(which I called first!), but dont coordinate all colors with appropriate powers. You would think red is fire, but no, its lightning.

[Swan]

ARGH!


I only need 250 points.




But i need to spend $20 to get anymore points

[BreakABone]

Castle Crashers is going to be one of those games that drives us up the wall.

The netcode is a pain in the arse right now.

[gekko]

Are these one and the same?

Stop being a smart-ass and fix the network! :p

[Dyne]

Holy shit, what an awesome game. I'm playing with my brother. I just got Red Knight's magic projectile.

Now aren't you glad a big birdie told you to buy it. ;)

They better be.
They better be.

[Dyne]

Oh god this game is awesome. After something like 7 and a half hours of playing with my brother, we started new characters,


MAYBE SPOILERS


the Skeleton and the Chain mail Knight, which are way better. My first character, Red, is now a level 22 with max magic, half defense, and 5 and 5 for the other stats. With the spiky pet, and the final sword. My new skeleton character is lvl 12 well-rounded, but he starts out with a level 20 sword with +6 agility and I'm wiping the ground. I'm 4 levels ahead of my brother who is playing AT THE SAME TIME.

[gekko]

Game gets a 20/10. It's magical.

I finished it solo after 11 hours. Maybe 10 hours of actual play, since 1 hour has to be dedicated to getting booted from online games. Main guy is up to lvl 40 now. I've been going back and trying to get the other animal orbs, and I'm still having a tough time with the arenas.

I do like how you share gold, animal orbs, and weapons. It encourages people to play it again, since you can get through a bit faster. My buddy is coming over tomorrow and I plan on finishing two other characters. Not sure which I want to play. A part of me wants to do the Alien, but the other part thinks of all the swords I could use if I picked someone different.

[BreakABone]

I started to believe. I finished 3 levels. Some occassional hiccups online.

But then it went poof.

[Swan]

Finally got it.:D

[gekko]

Dude, I saw a 3 foot blue Castle Crasher today. Sweetest thing ever.

[Bond]

I'm so jealous right now. :(

[Fox 6]

This is so addictive.

[Schadenfreude]

If anyone wants to get the Conscientious Objector achievement or play on Insane mode just hit me up on AIM (ICallItFutile) or MSN (gameguy24@gmail.com). I have a Red Knight at level 92.

[Fox 6]

I love all the unlockable characters.

[The Germanator]

My friend got this and it looks amazing. I'm so out of the video gaming loop these days without a next-gen system, but this kind of game intrigues me more than anything. Maybe I'll play it tomorrow.

[Fox 6]

I beat it with the Blue Knight a few days ago. Wokring on beating it with the Mech Knight. Saw blades ahoy!
