EvilGamerZ.net | PixelJunk Eden PC Review

"This game came out for PC, on Steam yesterday and I bought it, I’ve been playing for quite a while so that I can get a good idea of the entirety of the game for this review. The game revolves around music, you have to collect pollen as your float around an organic, plant-filled world with a unique graphic style."

Haven't played the PC version, but got it on PSN when it was released. My opinion: it would have been much better if it wasn't so difficult. It's a game I wouldn't mind sitting back to and relaxing, but that's not how it turned out at all.

The controls are simple, but unforgiving. You control your "grimp"'s movements so sluggishly, that you can't correct the slightest miscalculation and then end up missing your target, only to fall *way* down the level and have to make your way slowly back up again... Did I mention it's a race against the clock? Also, on top of controls being so sluggish, the levels throw wind at you and some of them rotate too, taking away even more control from you.

Is there a demo? If the controls have been made more responsive on the PC, to the point where you can actually make your grimp go where you want it to, and can correct slight errors in trajectory, then I'd recommend buying it. Otherwise, like me, you'll realize the difficulty curve climbs very steeply and quickly reaches the point where it's not enjoyable anymore.

There isn't a demo on PC as of yet I don't think. The controls to me didn't really feel unresponsive, they feel fine with the mouse on PC. The levels I've played so far (I've only reached Garden 4 or 5) seem pretty straight forward really, I do agree about the wind though, the latest level I'm on seems to have some fairly strong wind in it and it can become pretty annoying when you constantly fall to the bottom of the map and have to make your way all the way back up.

Other than that so far the game seems quite enjoyable for short periods of time, I couldn't handle a long stretch with this game as the soundtrack would do my head in.

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.

GentlemenRUs3689d ago (Edited 3689d 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.

uberbelly3689d ago

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

redknight803689d 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.

uberbelly3689d 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.

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.
