Ghostbusters - Bustin Makes Me Feel Good!

The cherub place on professional is downright retarded. The arrows are one shot kills + splash damage, meaning when Ray comes to save your ass he gets taken out because they never stop shooting your dead body. WHEEE!!

AND THEN there are the little tombstone things fucking with Ray, was that really necessary at that point?

Also - the fence is invulnerable, it's the brickwork around it you're trying to fuck with (despite the skulls turning off one by one). I think it takes 6 angels total into the bricks above the fence before it goes down.

Slime tethering takes two aimed shots while you can quickly grab and smash the angels that always hover above the gate (your beam really just has to be in their vicinity for the grab to work) rapid fire like. Proton stream wins.

Now, someone help me get these retarded online achievements so I can be done. Everyone I play with has been an utter moron, failing to recognize the game types and just fighting ghosts blindly even in relic or thief mode. Fucking idiots.

get at me dude, I'll help

Tried the demo and it's underwhelming over exciting. It's Gears of Ghostbusters with enough fanservice to make fanboys convince themselves that it's something better than a mediocre 3rd person shooter.

Really hoping that demo is the only thing that sucks =(

you suck

Clearly. I mean it's all about the cover system... :rolleyes:

ok, well in the demo it broke down like this:

- Walk around a lot with the PKE meter.
- When stuff came up, hit with either Blast (shotgun) or Grapple (lasso)
- Toward the end, fight two main guys with grapple while blasting book bats
- If you or a buddy went down, a finder icon much like Gears shows the location of a teammate

So...PKE meter. Kinda fun for figuring out where the main ghosts came from or went. Design-wise it was useless - where to go next was always blocked and triggered to unlock only when scripted events unraveled. Found out that some collectibles can only be obtained through its use. Kinda clever, but it began to dawn on me doing this sort of thing through the whole game would only slog down the pace. All for the sake of shoehorning collectibles in while maintaining some sense of coherency in the game world.

The different types of beams were interesting from a movie fan standpoint, but pretty standard fare for a first/third person shooter. Maybe later weapons/upgrades mix things up, but like I said this was from the demo.

With the fight at the end of the demo, things just felt messy. It would be fun to wrangle a ghost to a trap, only to get frustrating as there was no way of pulling/pushing it closer to the trap. Just up/down, left/right movements and the slam. Anytime it got close book bats would swarm and throw me out of any progress made. I could understand if this was set up in a way where you had to think about the timing between both types of enemies. Though from the demo it felt like two enemy patterns acting independently, and overlapping in a way that gave little room to work around. Also a shame that my buddy was too lame to provide cover.

Maybe it's unfair to say it's like Gears - closer to Matt Hazard then? A passable game that leans heavily on its novelty and writing to gloss over shortcomings?

Although again - this was my time on the demo. I even prefaced my observation with that, and hoping that it didn't reflect the scope of the full game. Because quite honestly I want this game, but not if it's another 6-8 hours of the 20 minutes I played today.

The full game is significantly better than Matt Hazard, but it's not quite in Gears' league. It's almost a 7-8-9 relationship in terms of quality. I actually enjoyed Matt Hazard for what it was, and the same can be said for Ghoustbusters but with far more polish and investment in things like voice acting.

I liked Matt Hazard until the stupidly DARK level with the squirtgun guys/sniper.

I really enjoyed Matt Hazard too, but am also aware of its technical shortcomings. It'd be the kind of game I'd buy for $40, think a steal under $30, but have no interest paying full price for. The demo has me feeling the same for Ghostbusters.

Ok so I rented this shit and then discovered that there's no split screen co-op campaign. That is fucking bush league and awful and my night and 8 dollars are fucking mostly wasted.

I'll have to play through it on my own now. What the fuck. Single player games can eat dicks.

Meanwhile the Wii and PS2 campaigns are co-op? What the fuck ever.
