Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon | March 24th NA, March 28th EU, March 20th JP

I was somehow always the first one down lol.

Oh no!! I haven't tried yet but I will tonight. A hint for a gem is in the art room where the two hide and seek blue ghosts were painting each other? Examine the standing camera. You might notice something when you look through it. ;)
 
Finished the first mansion with all Boos and only 2 missing gems! I think it's time to give Haunted Towers a look.

Hmm..There doesn't seem to be too many levels though...only about 25-30 in the whole game which seem's pretty short....I hope I won't be done with this game by the end of next week....

15 or so hours is pretty good for a game these days, and if you take the time to collect every gem and boo it will probably be closer to 20.

Don't forget there is multiplayer too.

TBT game night, eh?
 
I was bummed! I went to like three different stores today and every one of 'em was sold out of this freakin' game.

That was kind of okay with me, since I wanna' buy BioShock Infinite this week and was unsure how I felt about spending 100$ on games this week.

I ended up going home with Season 1 of Courage the Cowardly Dog on DVD... and lost hopes.

It's only 4 players, I don't know if it would really be suited for game night.

Game night or not, I'm down for multiplayer if we can get a couple people together.

You did do CF as multiplayer when it was only 4 players so I can see LM2 working if you got a large group

Anyway, can anyone tell me the differences between the GC version and this game?
 
Multiplayer is great if you can find a good group :). I was pleasantly surprised to find out that people playing via Download Play aren't restricted to only local matches; they can join online rooms as well!

I'm slightly disappointed over NoA's decision to remove the artwork inside the game case. I thought it was a nice touch. The JP version looked fantastic. :p

I knew there was a gem with the camera, I just couldn't find it, I'll have to look into that later, then I will only need three more gems.
 
I've only passed the first mansion, so far, and the thing that's mainly bugging me is that it's lacking the Luigi's Mansion-ness. The portrait ghosts gave it the fun and the character that the original had. It didn't really feel like Luigi's Mansion. Don't get me wrong, I still like it, but I don't think it lived up to the original. It just doesn't seem like Luigi's Mansion. I'm also not a big fan of the linearity. That's what really turned me off to Paper Mario: Sticker Star.
 
I've gotta disagree on that point.

For me, I can say honestly that I've played Luigi's Mansion over 20+ times. This new one lives up and possibly surpasses it.

No, it's not the same game, that's what makes it better. If it were the same thing, it would.. well, be the same thing over again.
This way Luigi's Mansion gets to stay what it was, and Dark Moon can be what it is.
 
I probably need to clarify. You'll see a gem when you look through the camera in that room :o

I know I found it no problem. :) Three gems left to go, but I just moved on to the next mansion, I'll be back to find the rest later....

The gems and Boos in Haunted Towers are much easier to find....

How is Sticker Star less linear than the other Paper Mario games? I mean, in the first, you couldn't go into South Toad Town until you beat the Koopa Bros so I don't know how it's less linear.

I'll agree to disagree on this. There was just a charm, imo, in Luigi's Mansion that Dark Moon does not have. Again, I'm not saying that it's a bad game. I still love it, there's just something about the original that I like a lot more than the 3DS one. Maybe it'll change by the time I beat the game.

It's linear in the fact that it's not really open-world, like the other ones were. There was an element of exploration that Super Paper Mario and Sticker Star did not really have. (Although my mine gripe with SPM and SS is the lack of partners.)
 
Anyone on right now that wants to play some Scarescraper? Looking for a 4th player.
