Difficulty settings coming to PixelJunk Monsters, new modes coming to Eden

PS3Fanboy writes, "Finding the PixelJunk games frustratingly difficult? You are not alone; the guys over at TheBBPS wrote an open e-mail to Dylan Cuthbert, executive producer at Q-games, humorously complaining that his wife finds PixelJunk Monsters just a tad bit too overwhelming and requests difficulty settings for the game. Cuthbert acknowledges his prayers, stating that an upcoming free patch to Monsters will include the ability to make the game easier, or harder, than the default setting.

Cuthbert also hints a similar treatment in form of a new "more namby pamby" gameplay mode for PixelJunk Eden in a future expansion pack. He feels Eden's "controls are too much fun to waste on just one set of game rules." We can't wait!"

Single player is epicly hard, but very enjoyable. way to go Pixeljunk keep it up!

Also seeing as Eden doesn't have a platinum trophy yet that clearly means it'll be obtained in these new modes. Woot

DeforMAKulizer5755d ago

Not necessarily platinum, cause i heard that PSN titles wont have platinum... But at least more than one silver and some hint of a gold hehe... Looking forward to Dungeons as well =D

"Super Stardust HD has a platinum trophy...."

My reply below

DeforMAKulizer5755d ago

Ya i noticed hehe... Sorry for the huge mix up...

Relcom5755d ago

Your right im wrong, i seen my friend had a platinum trophy i assumed it was for SSHD. My bad

MazzingerZ5755d ago

I wish all the games had the option to set unlimited lifes or similar, my daughters want to play some PSN games I have but some are just too hard...at least a training mode where you could play around with the controls without worrying about dying...

meepmoopmeep5755d ago

i've noticed that Q-Games love their difficulty. they trick you with cool and quirky cute graphics and simple gameplay but the challenge is crazy.

i'm still stuck on Monsters. gRRRR.
and Eden is becoming more challenging and i'm only on the 3rd Garden.
double gRRRR.

n4gzz5755d ago

After playing over month and half, Got all the rainbow on first island. Just started 2nd Island (toki or tuki i don't remember). I must say, it was ever challenging. Would love to see one of those tower unlocked in the beginning without purchasing.

Bibto5755d ago

@meepmoopmeep

Same with me. I played the demo and really enjoyed the relaxing and fun gameplay in the first garden. When I purchased the game things got a lot harder after that.

You get used to the difficulty in the later gardens, but then, just when you think you got a hang on the game again, you get to the infamous Garden 7.

All I can say is good luck... ;)

mfwahwah5755d ago

I never considered buying PJ Monsters because I suck at tower defense games. With an easier difficulty though, I may be able to have some fun and not constantly die :P

StephanieBBB5755d ago

I want the game to be harder... It's too easy imo.

the difficulty is the best part of the game..so now if they make it easier it will make trophies super easy to get now. Oh well enough whining then everyone get their way.

thor5755d ago

Bah I beat this game with my 12 year old sister, single player I don't know I hardly played it lol. I personally like the difficulty of the pixeljunk games; it's easy enough at the start to get into and they are actually a challenge to complete unlike most games nowadays.

TOSgamer5755d ago (Edited 5755d ago )

So yes single player monsters is much, much harder.

Adamalicious5755d ago

Monsters isn't crazy hard to beat in co-op, but Encore is BRUTAL.

DeforMAKulizer5755d ago (Edited 5755d ago )

I love PixelJunk =D

Relcom5755d ago

Super Stardust HD has a platinum trophy.

DeforMAKulizer5755d ago

Actually it doesnt... Only Uncharted and Buzz Quiz TV have platinum... Only disc based games will have platinum trophies... PSN games wont...

Relcom5755d ago (Edited 5755d ago )

As a owner of the game, i tell you you are wrong. Others will agree

Nice edit now i look crazy lol

DeforMAKulizer5755d ago

Ummmm i have a friend who collected a 100 % on Super Stardust and he has no platinum trophy... Go to the Trophy Collection tab in the XMB and you will notice that in SSHD not one trophy is platinum... See some trophy guides as well... No platinum... Only Uncharted and Buzz Quiz TV till now buddy... Sorry to break it to ya...

whoelse5755d ago

Super Stardust HD has NO platinum. Do your research.

PirateThom5755d ago

PSN games do not have Platinum trophies.

LiquifiedArt5754d ago

I have SSHD and 100% Trophies. There is no Platinum. The only PSN games to have Platinum's are the ones with a BLU-RAY release as well.
Ie. Socom, Warhawk etc...

Killjoy30005755d ago

I like when devs do this, but not right after they release the original product. This just shows their money grubbing whore skills. But hey, what devs?publishers don't do this these days? lol. "Hey, lets add something that should've been there before and act like it's an addition!! Yay!!" Hopefully, they go the Criterion route and make it all free, though.

mfwahwah5755d ago

I really doubt they'll charge for *DIFFICULTY LEVELS* that fans requested. That would be a slap to the face.

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.

redknight803699d 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.

GentlemenRUs3699d ago (Edited 3699d 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.

annus3699d 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.

uberbelly3699d ago

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

redknight803699d 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.

Bengaroo3699d ago

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.

uberbelly3699d 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.

vickers5003699d ago (Edited 3699d 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.
