Game Planet Review: PixelJunk Eden

GamePlanet:

''I don't know if any of you have studied organic chemistry at any point in your life, but if you're anything like me you'll probably find it all pretty repulsive.

To be honest, I'm simply not interested in learning about stems and stamens, egg fertilisation and pollination.. really it's a bit like the inner workings of the digestive system. Sure, it's complicated and ultimately necessary for our continued existence, but I'm quite happy to continue through life completely oblivious to the billions of bacteria fornicating in my lower abdomen.

Q-Games, however, have taken the concept of organic reproduction and applied it to the home entertainment market.

It seems a very positive review for an 8/10. Though I suppose, 8/10 used to be a great score, before 7/10 turned into "average". And I think downloadable games are always rated in the 7-9 range if they are good, because no one can justify giving a 10 to an, in essence, half-game (ie not a full blown production).

...until it stopped and said the I had to get the full game to keep playing :( I wanted to keep playing so bad... It's so damn colorful and simple!

SlyGuy5781d ago

this is the one part that REALLY frustrates me:

"Falling isn't good. Falling and missing every single thing on the way down is worse, and it will happen."

Seems to happen to me way too often and it pisses me off tremendously. Oh well, at least I still have to finish Pixeljunk Monsters Encore.

bunbun7775781d ago

Well from what I understand from playing the Demo 5 times (just wipe out your saved file, then start over!) there's only falling, and then there's running out of time, which incidentally- coincides with falling too much. If you can't learn to not fall - then how are you going to get past those flying circle shield things that shoot stuff at you? But don't worry if all you like to do is watch and not play- there will be some amazing videos uploaded soon of peeps going to town on this. Closest to dancing I've seen in a videogame--- I LOVE IT = )

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.

redknight803715d ago

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.

GentlemenRUs3715d ago (Edited 3715d 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.

annus3715d ago

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.

uberbelly3715d ago

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

redknight803715d 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.

uberbelly3715d 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.

vickers5003715d ago (Edited 3715d 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.
