Play: PixelJunk Eden Review

Play writes, "After the sheer majesty of PixelJunk Monsters, which we still get out every now and again, we were expecting great, great things of Eden. Quality of biblical proportions and that bare-bones simplicity that makes Q-Games' titles so wonderfully playable. We were disappointed."

Shouldn't game reviewers be good at games before they review them. Reading this article it seems like the reviewer sucked at the game, therefore didn't have any fun, and ultimately gave it a low score because of it. How pathetic! I mean I agree that it sucks when you fall a long distance but there is a simple fix for that... Don't fall!!

When I first played this game I had the same complaints but after I put a little effort into it and as I got better at the game it just became a lot more fun! The key is to get into a nice flow and rythm, which brings me to another bs complaint the author had with the game. He said that the game didn't have any rythm, I call BS!!

Just for the quality of presentation and art direction, the game should be at least a 7.5 to 8.0. Add to that the addictive nature of the game and it is easily an 8.5.

From the article:
"Maybe we just don’t get it, because it’s clearly a quality title more than ready for release."
So because it couldn't fit somewhere within the 3 "stools" (seriously?) and because whoever was playing acted like my friend Jordan when I was in 3rd grade and threw the controller screaming, I quote, "The game is CHEATING!" (Jordan not the reviewer) this game gets a 6.7? ARGH!

"It has no real flow. This is a key issue for us. Were you able to complete levels with skill and expertise like those really great platformers, we’d be more enamored of it." So where was the skill and expertise? Oh I'm sorry- the game couldn't deliver as a platformer, so all your skillz at playing Mario 3 and Kid Icarus have been wasted! No flow? My contra skillz are of now use in this strange land! Then why is it someone like me- who is 29 and grew up on Atari and Nintendo, can say this game takes me back to the wonder and fun in those games- but these D-bags are going to say it isn't like that- It's too hard, It's too frustrating..... Try pulling off those jumps in Super Mario with no physics, other than the artificial physics you had to adapt to.....imagine that! A game comes out that is based on a lot of elements that actually factor in your ability to go anywhere in the game- wow!
Sorry this is a rant but it pisses me off because I feel that either these people do not deserve these positions as reviewers with such horrible, shallow standards- or in fact they are just pissed with Sony....I don't know.

I'm going to go and "mong out with few beers (or something stronger) and mess around with pretty images"

First Ever PayPal Gaming Sale Features PixelJunk Bundle, ‘Don’t Starve’

PayPal is probably the last company I was expecting to start selling games for cheap, but with deals like these, it’s tough to complain. By using Paypal to as your payment method, you’ll be able to score deals on a number of gaming goods like the PixelJunk Bundle, Don’t Starve and its early access DLC, Xbox Live Gold cards, Razr Mouse Pads, and much, much more.

Paypal screwed me over too many times so I stopped using them, This will not change anything.

I have only ever used Paypal for my ebay stuff, is that where they screwed you over? I am curious to know what happened so I can be cautious myself, thanks in advance.

GentlemenRUs4448d ago (Edited 4448d ago )

People using false claims to get there money back for something that isn't true at all.

Ebay didn't do anything about it, He got away with it...

Guy said item was faulty, Got item back and was in fully working order... He committed Fraud... Ebay stuck the finger in my face and let him get away with it.

Sounds like it was ebay, not paypal... The exact same thing could have happened if you used a bank account instead of paypal.

And if you got the item back, how was it fraud? Maybe it just didn't work for him for some reason.

uberbelly4448d ago

I too, would like to know. How was thou screwed?

redknight804447d ago

Yeah, I agree with annus (lol) that this seems more of an Ebay issue than Paypal. Did you end up getting your money back or did you only just get your item back and nothing more? Unfortunate as it is, scamming on Ebay seems kind of easy from what I have heard of and I sell on Ebay sometimes so I am quite cautious. Thanks for your information though, more reason to be cautious, I guess.

I had Paypal charge a credit card that I had deleted (all traces of) 12 months earlier. I even threatened (and genuinely considered) legal action, but decided to simply close my account instead.

They also (along with Ebay) took money from my account from an Ebay sale when the buyer claimed he never received the item (I am fine with these rules). When that buyer was found to be a fraud and have his account banned, they still didn't refund my money.

Paypal are evil.

uberbelly4448d ago

Always ship with tracking/delivery confirmation. I had this happen to me as well. I wouldn't say PayPal was at fault here. It's the shippers responsibility to prove the item was shipped/received.

vickers5004447d ago (Edited 4447d ago )

Just to add to the paypal sucks club:

If you have more than one credit/debit card on paypal, and you have already linked your bank account, EVEN IF YOU SELECT A DIFFERENT DEBIT CARD AT CHECKOUT, IT WILL CHARGE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NO MATTER WHAT.

I ordered a Wii U on ebay (from neweggs ebay page) and when paypal came up, I selected my parents card to pay for it (needed it because it was a flash sale and I didn't have the money in my account, but did have it in cash), and then for some reason, it charged to my debit card anyway, the one that I had linked to my paypal account, with no funds, despite the fact that I specifically chose my parents card at checkout. I ended up having to pay a 22 dollar overdraft fee from my bank account because of their terrible, sneaky system, which I don't know if it is deliberate, or just horrible site design, but it's some bullcrap that hasn't changed.

Here's a thread about it that shows other people with the same problem: https://www.paypal-communit...

Now I try and stay away from using paypal as much as I can.
