Do you follow the teachings of Towelie, or just use them as guidelines? There's a big difference that'll probably change your perspective of the game.
Also going into REZ looking for achievements probably isn't the right approach.
i got pretty owned too. but i got threw the first level easily and got to the level 2 boss which whopped my ass.
for newcomers like me, i thought it was pretty hard. getting all the achievements will be an exercise in REZ obsession for a couple of months.
I might buy this. I never got all the fuss about it ten years ago and playing the trial, I still don't get all the fuss. But then, I don't smoke pot, so huh.
It seems fun enough, but I'm just not feeling the sheer adoration that most people seem to have for it.
I don't really understand why this game is so great.
@ Jim Sterling: I haven't played it yet, so I'll have to try it out tonight or something and then if I ever smoke again with my friends, I'll let you know if it's any different. Probably will be.
Final Fantasy IX was amazing when I smoked back in HS. Too bad I kept passing out.
@ dronkmunk: Yes, achievement whoring isn't the right way. You're doing it wrong my friend.
I have had this game for the PS2 and I have to tell you..the people creaming their panties about this game are bonkers. The game is short, EXTREMELY easy once you get the mechanics down and really aside from the psychedelic vector like graphics isn't all that.
Do yourself a favore save the ten bucks and get you a decent Burrito.
Also, you lick you lips in anticipation of Achievements? Whore.
Try repositioning the other three controllers :D
Use this:
You know the same thing happened to me. That game is all sorts of insane.
Yojimbo: If you don't think this game is worth 10 dollars then you are completely mad.
Maybe some people are just wired differently, but IMO if after level 5 you aren't creaming yourself I think you should check to see if you have a pulse.
The only advice I can give you is to try to be aware of everything on screen. Yeah I know.
Always shoot down projectiles and attacking parts first.
Don't always go for the Max lock on.
Don't focus on ANYTHING too long
As for the first boss, be aware of the bright green parts of it because that's what will be firing at you. Always attack those first no matter what but spread the love/lasers around as well.
Honestly I didn't "get" it until the second or third time I played it through. It's just about the synthenasia aspect. If you can't wrap your head around appreciating a visual music angle, you're not going to get it.
And I say this as a person who has only touched weed ONCE in my entire life.
I think it's an amazing game, but I love the concept of multi-layered artistic expression.
Pluh, also...
It's not about the fact that it's a shooter, it's not about the length, the on-rails. It's all about using the game to create your music.
Yeah. I am thinking maybes I was not in the right frame of mind when I played it. So I am about to give it another go.
As for the achievements comments, it is what it is. I think a lot of ya'll are fronting on me right now.
The people have spoken. Marijuana is the key to enjoying Rez. I tested this theory and have found it to be a valid one.
No one ever said the game was easy. We only said it was good. Which it is, it's amazing. You just hafta devote some time to it. An easy 200 game points it IS NOT.
You fail. Try again.
B-Radicate:
I could give a rip about achievements bro. I just stated the game while cool,isn't all that.
Newsflash: I bought this for the PS2 full price supporting it way back when because it was different.
But honestly aside from the tripping factor..the game is overhyped.
You want to be a salivate over this very short, on-rail shooter because of some little gray blimbs telling you, you got some achievements have it.
Like DVDdesign said its more about the music and the game coming together. So being stoned helps alot, the gameplay is fun but not spectacular what is amazing is how your playing creates the music and beat of the game. The more combos you get the better music works with the gameplay. You need to turn the rumble on and really just let it flow over you. It helps to be stoned but its not needed.
It really pisses me off when people say that a great game is only fun if you're high.
It's a rhythm game, not a shooting game. Have fun playing it, not beating it.
Dammit.
Also, note that this is coming from someone who wont touch painkillers with a ten-foot pole.
Then again, also note that this is coming from someone who owns an unopened Trance Vibrator.
I have a soapbox if that would help.
the only thing i hear is suxage. rez is not really hard. but it can get a little overwhelming, practice
I find Rez to be pretty good. I'm glad it came to XBLA as I've been searching for it on eBay for months. But everybody wants stupid amounts so I've been unlucky. This gives a lot of players the chance to play a game they may not have in the first place. Plus maybe those eBay copies will finally go for a lot cheaper once people get lazy and just buy it on XBLA.
I can't wait til I get to play it so I can see what the Hype is all about. Also, if the man wants to whore for some points let him whore. I don't think he's playing this specifically for points but he was waiting for that first message saying he did something worthy of points in this particular game. The first time is always sweet.
Unless it's in the movie theater you work at because then you're just hoping your manager doesn't come in and catch you.
.....huh, what?
Thank you kryptinite...what a gentleman.
Anyway, I did play the game again, and it is a good game, I mean i get it now. Turns out I just suck. Can't even crack the leaderboards for score attack.
