Oh, I never expected that. I'm planning on playing all the way through several times with as many people as possible. :) Isn't everybody?

I know I am. Too much unlockable stuff (characters, weapons, power up via levels) not to. That and it might be nice to have some near lagless 4 player versus matches. Not many games out where you can do that in a lag free environment online.

Speaking of beat em ups (and old school games in general), what happened to Jaleco? They made some great games in the 8bit -16 bit days (the entire Rushing Beat/ Rival Turf series, Super E.D.F., Bases Loaded and more).

I'm hoping they start releasing character, weapon and animal orb information soon. I still want to know what the other characters look like. :)

I did really like the look of the blue pixel bars but I think the new ones fit much better with the game.

if I had the time I'd go through the CC site and see what images I could strip into some gifs for people to use as avatars on put on overlays but I don't.

They are making some great avatars on the CC forums here

Any idea how this compares to Guardian Heroes? I fucking loved that game and this looks like it might be close...

I can't wait for next Wednesday!

Assuming the content in this game was taken directly from Castle Smashers.

That was actually pretty cool. The music was nice too.

Nice :lol Mario Bros. 2 style ending. The voices were really close to old school treasure/capcom/sega enemy taunts. Tom really has old school VA down.

Check my post with all the video links, comparisons, and the interviews.

EDIT: Holy crap, you can ressucitate your allies? Now that I didnt know. Like the competing at the end of the stage though. Kinda keeps things fresh. Co-op to grab a thon to versus mode.

Also the music ACTUALLY sounds somewhat similar to Guardian Heroes!
kinda a big deal for me since the GH music was pretty catchy
Especially the stat upgrade screen.

Both videos are cool, and im glad I dont need a custom playlist for the game now...but the Destructoid people are kinda annoying.

We think you're annoying, too! I kid. Sorry you didn't enjoy the (purposely) silly commentary; some enjoyed it, some did not. The next two videos (coming Thursday) will be posted both with and without commenary.

Sorry we ruined your day, guys. :(

:lol no worries, probably was an impulse post on my part since I had the volume pretty loud trying to hear the music in game. Someone said something really loud all of a sudden and it surprised me.

Thanks for the playthroughs though. Especially since there arent many Castle Crashers story mode videos that have the actual in game sounds.

Perhaps just too much 'commentary'.. seemed like talking to hear yourselves talk. I'm all for commentary if it's related to the game, how it's playing how the coop is working, your opinion on the responsiveness of controlling the characters, the audio, etc.
Yimyammering for the sake of adding filler gets pretty grating after a while.
Just my opinion, I didn't watch all of the videos (I didn't want the beginning spoiled for me) but I did watch enough to see how the framerate and multiplayer gameplay looked.

I actually liked it. They had big eyes because they are teh powa puff gals. I like funny commentary, like in the hellboy dvd. I also like the HPAW (or something) game marathon videos because they have weird and sometimes funny commentary throughout. I guess I'm weird.

I'm in wait and see mode for this game as I was not a big fan of Alien Hominid but I just had to stop by and say the thread is Epic. Well done Shard.

I hear what you're saying. I think the point was for the video to be less of a "here's how you play this, here's how it feels" preview and more of a "what to expect when you're playing this with friends." It did get rambling and non-game related, but I think it pretty much captures the multiplayer Castle Crashers experience: lots of yelling, lots of button mashing, silly banter, etc.

It's not everyone's cup of tea -- the commentary, that is -- and that's fine. My feelings aren't hurt! If anyone is seriously sickened by it, I could provide non-commentary-having video for you. The second batch ("the 18 minutes after the first 15 minutes") will have both commentary and non-commentary versions.

Also, this thread entire thread is warranted: Castle Crashers is a lot of fun, for sure. I haven't played through nearly all of it, but I'd say it's worth the points. But I'm not reviewing it, so don't listen to a word I say about it.

The commentary was a little annoying but I much prefer that than the standard game video. Gives me an idea of the craic over live when playing.

Probably been asked, but what time do XBLA games usually get released? At midnight?

I seem to remember someone saying it was late night EST so I never bothered to stay up and wait.
