It's fascinating to see that the Japanese are dominating the leaderboards in this game. The Japanese, playing a Western game, better than the Westerners.

The game itself is really starting to annoy me now, and not in a good way. The same problem with the first game is still present here - you are essentially having to restart at the very beginning every single game. I'd much rather have a shmup were you progressed than a purely score-based one. This game needs a levels mode, with a per-level score saving system like Space Giraffe. I think Galaga Legions is more likely to be my kind of game than this.

What I don't like about the game is how it tries to shut you down as fast as possible, progressively throwing more and more complex shit at you until you're totally overloaded. The game doesn't want you to keep going for hours like in tetris or whatever.

Yeah but is this really a problem?

Maybe if they had one basic mode where you could take it slowly, then. It's just ... sometimes ... I dunno ... it's like the game is being all gentle with you, stroking your arm, kissing your neck, rubbing its nose against yours, and it's all lovely and fuzzy and warm, then out of nowhere it seizes you by the shoulders, pins you to the floor, headbutts you a couple of times and proceeds to rape you to death in two minutes flat. And it's like, ffs I was just starting to enjoy that. You know?

OK then, try GW Galaxies for dozens of individual levels and scores. GW2 is perfect as-is.

Yeah Galaxies did seem a little more sedate, and not necessarily in a bad way.

I do see where spore is coming from though, perhaps the next GW needs a 'mong' mode where you just chill out and blast things at a gentle pace.

I find Pacifism completely relaxing. I've probably spent a couple of hours on that mode alone today, without the slightest bit of stress or frustration. My heart rate shoots up whenever I pass 40m, but other than that, I'm just in a happy, hypnotic trance while playing.

I find sequence the least "stressful". Simply because I know whats coming in each level each time and you get nice little gaps inbetween. I always go back to that after a mad run in evolved or waves completely bugs my eyes out

Pacifism is cursed for me at the moment due to wax off.

Oh And Smile.

"2, 4, 11, 15, 17, 18 and 19."

What the fuck is that all about??

In Sequence let the time expire on stages 2 and 4 (the icon can be seen to be the eyes), and die on levels 11, 15, 17, 18 and 19 to make the mouth. The rest of the levels have to properly completed, ie everything else is green on the level display.

-edit- Spoilered as some people may want to try and work it out themselves.

-edit2- Missed something important in the spoiler bit.

I assume you have to clear those levels in Sequence, as it will make a smiley face out of the level boxes. Not done it myself though so I'm not sure...

Managed to do wax off this afternoon, which is just as well as it now means I can start playing Pacifism properly!

Fucking loving this, though. Really loving it. What a game! :)

Mine was more of a girly short, sharp "NO!" The missus turned round all worried and was like "What's up!? What's wrong!?" and I'm like "This bastard cunt fucking shitstain of a fucking game is stitching me right the fuck up, the fucking thing!! How the fuck can you fucking out run the fucking diamond things??!"

she just gave me what can only be described as "a look".
