I'm referring of course to the Penny Arcade Adventures game. I just wanted to type that whole acronym out. 😊
I downloaded the demo on the 360 and tried it out. I thought the art style and the dialog was fairly good, but I can't say I liked the actual play mechanic. Of course they don't give you much to try in the demo. So has anyone tried the whole thing? Any impressions?
I also downloaded the demo. I love the fact that your character appears in the 2D animated cutscenes - wasn't expecting that. The dialog was great, but I also didn't like the mechanics too much - not much of an RPG fan anyway. I especially hated how it took so long to charge attacks - so it's like, you're literally just sitting there with nothing to do in the middle of combat.
I actually enjoy the combat system... it's just Final Fantasy ATB, really, with the addition of timed defense. Very old-school, I love it. The art and writing is wonderful, too. I'll probably buy the full version this weekend.
Reminds me of Super Mario RPG. 😊
I've only read a little bit about the game before today. I'm definitely interested in it since I regularly read Penny Arcade.
But I have no idea how it plays... I might download the demo and check it out on our Mac. I'm reluctant to buy it though cause I know I'll want the remaining episodes (whenever they come out) if I like this one, and those will likely be $20 a pop too, which is a lot imo. I'm sure they'll bundle them once all the episodes are done though.
