Be Excellent To Each Other

I'll just leave this here...

*quietly removes Zoidberg from friends list*

Wow, pretty much confirms my cyborg theory, then. Cyborgs don't seem to like pacifism, though.

I haven't seen you on the leaderboards. Have you still not bought this yet?

It's true. Not keen on that or Kings. Basically anything that restricts my ability to shoot.

Not yet. I've only just got a PS4 and want to do Resogun justice first. I'll wait until it's on PS+ in Feb.

I agree with you on King. Pacifism, on the other hand, is totally addictive. I played that every day for a year or so on the 360.

That's Feb 2017 - are you sure you can wait that long? Are you sure? Oh go on, it's quite cheap and excellent. What more do you want?

I've now got two top ten scores and four or five more in the top 20. This is far too addictive.

Eurogamer seem to always hit the nail on the head for me. I'll wait for a sale.

And one more pic...

Do a vid!

Good idea. Not recorded anything yet, but there's another level where I've got my eye on the top spot so will give it a go.

Smash the Share button: done. It's so easy.

I lost the top spot to someone off RLLMUK, but just got it back.

I've bought this. Played a little. Seems lovely, but what's this about upgrading drones? Do I have to grind levels before I can compete on the hi score tables? Because that's shite.

I just got past the first 'boss' last night and unlocked the first drone - i dont know about grinding to unlock more of it but there seems to be 3 drones and you unlock them by completing the normal 'adventure' mode

I completely missed upgrading them for ages, but once I noticed you can do it really quickly. It's only a couple of thousand geoms per upgrade so by the time you unlock a new drone you should have enough to max it straight away.

Urgh. Fair enough. It worked in Luftrausers I guess.

Although I won't bother for high scores now and just focus on unlocking levels.

Played it via my vita's WiiU mode. Worked incredibly well, but the morons didn't switch R1 and r2 around. So you have to use the touch screens. Still well worth a try if you've a vita though.

Yeah, it's basically Geometry Wars meets Mario Kart now, it seems. To get the best scores you need to be both good and to pick the right ship combo.

My default for the drone is the collector as it helps get the multiplier up quickly, but there's a few levels where you need the extra firepower of the one that attacks in the same direction as you. None of the others have been much use so far.

For the bomb, I just go with the latest to be unlocked.

So i bought..

hadn't bought a 360 game for ages, so had to upgrade the system first... although the xbox recognises my new router, when upgrading it seems to have problem with the security ( i remember having swithced back to wpa1 when i bought the xbox 360 .. old stuff), so it took me quite some itme to get going..

for now it is just fine, adventure mode is quite nice in a away that it gives you a structure, but i quite think it is ugly...

maybe i should have waited until i bought a ps4 and bought it on that one, since it basically is Geometry wars with a structure and now you cna play it on ps4 too...

Another couple of top ten places tonight. One 2nd and a 4th which I'm pretty sure I can get to 1st in the morning.

mr zoid, you're on xbox or ps4?

Judging by the video and the button prompts, ps4

Yep, PS4. I've slipped back a bit, but at one point I think I had top ten places on 8 of the fifty stages.

PC / Mac steam version is 25% off on Amazon.com right now

http://www.amazon.com/Geometry-Wars-Onl ... B00P2RQX4I

Works out around £7.20 (its a steamworks game so buying the PC code will also give you the Mac version)

Might have beaten Dr Zoidberg's deadline score last night,twice in a row. I suspect my score will be beat again as there were several errors and I think I died twice.

I'm really struggling with pacifism, it seems far tougher and less forgiving than the xbox version. Will have to give it some more time, maybe with some less wine.

Finally managed to edge past Dr Zoidberg on Evolved and upped my Pacifism score to 39-ish yesterday. Tried to do the same on Waves, but that mode just totally does my head in.

I can see I need to get back on this soon!
I've not played the classic modes much - been concentrating on the campaign levels instead.

If I buy this for Xbone are *any* of you playing it there?

Malc, asfish and Cookie are our resident Bone-owners.

Thank fuck you don't have a ps4. I remember not being able to get anywhere near you on the last one!

FYI you may want to have a read about leaderboard issues on the Xbox One , I've seen a number of people posting that the leaderboards just dont work on there (or are never contactable) - they are obviously a big part of the game so it may convince you that you want to play it elsewhere (or you may want to wait until they fix the problems)

Never mind, Trousers. We'll always have Wii U (for a given value of 'always').

I've got a PS4 coming my way next week so I'll get it on that then. The controller won't be as nice though. BAH.

The DS4 is not quite as good as the XBO/360 controller, but it's close. A much, much needed improvement over the DS3.

My brain is HUGE at times.

Thought pattern last night "I'll just see what the new Gold member discounts are this week. OOOH Look Geometry Wars 3 for under a tenner, I'll have me some of that. Press A, A, A. Yeah that's added to my download queue now I can engage in some leaderboard shenanagins and no wait there's only me that's got an Xbox One isn't there? IN FACT, I remember a discussion on the forum where I said I would get it for PS4.

How do I even dress myself in a morning?"

Well in the most hollow of victories I am now top of most of my leader boards.

There's 4 friends on there and only one of you from off of here. There really has been a significant migration this generation away from Xbox.

There's been a huge free update to this - two new sets of adventure mode levels and not too many players yet so top ten places are relatively easy at the moment.

Super Geo Wars Galaxy is about right. It's like Mario has finally eaten those mushrooms he's always hanging around and is having a massive trip but rather than passively thrashing through the levels with little challenge it's a fight to the death.

I played a level called Sausage. It was great.

I've noticed that the Vita isn't showing up any friends scores and I'm wondering whether friends PS3/4 scores aren't being pulled through to the Leaderboards.

If this is correct I shall not be amoosed.

Then I'll get it on PS4...

That level that takes place on a peanut is groovy.

Is the ps4 version better than the xbox version?

What Xbox One? I'd imagine they're both about the same init not that I've played either since I'm playing the Vita-Vita-Bo-bita.

I'm playing the 360 version and it's hard to imagine how it could look any different/nicer so yeah.. Probably the same.

Go for the one with the busiest leader board.

I can't see why this isn't getting more of a bumming. Some levels are exhilarating.
