Yeah I mean if LRG published a Naruto game then sure, it could be a contender. What's funny is they published a Power Rangers game and people were like "meh." But Scott Pilgrim really is that game, it has that cult following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I feel that at least part of it is the setting - Toronto. I don't even like Scott Pilgrim, but I'm still like "it's cool that it's here in Toronto" when it comes up. I can go through them and it's like yeah - that's Toronto, I know that store/street/landmark. I live up the road from Casa Loma, which is where the skateboard guy and Scott meet/fight in the movie.

LeatherRebel5150 | 1,056 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Chances are we will never really know how much it sold. LRG hasn't released their sales numbers since they shut down mighty rabbit studios forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,549 Editorials Team · Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I'm undecided as well. I did everything in it on 360. I'm not dying to do it again.

Is the game difficult at all or is there any complexity to the fighting? Edited January 16, 2021 by Californication Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickman | 3,995 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I wonder how many complaints they will have when the game takes longer to arrive than their stated window. I’d guess a lot are first time LRG users. Pass for me, which is good because the less money I can give to LRG the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's funny is they published a Power Rangers game and people were like "meh." But Scott Pilgrim really is that game, it has that cult following. No doubt, was going to quote your last one about print media going to game. It's funny you note this one. I miss my Naruto manga collection, but all those books got heavy. A week ago or two now I got both the GBA ninja council games in a lot and wow they're shockingly good fun. I never bothered with them in the day, any, kind of almost wish I had but then I'd have paid full price. I'm not a Scott Pilgrim fan as I only cracked into the first volume of the book and it just didn't grab me, so I ignored the movie. I think it's somewhere streaming at the moment, maybe I should just let it roll and see. If I fall for it, I could register for a copy of the game as I like dopey brawlers, and it seems more like a classic one, than the fake classic that's Streets of Rage 4 which is more just bloated and rage inducing in its way it plays (which I got off LRG too.) I'm not a LRG super fan or fan, but I've been slowly accruing a library of their titles because digital SUCKS and they seem to scoop the best. I've got 5 from them (BM Zero 1 and 2, Grandia HD, Panzer Dragoon, and SoR4) with a 6th Doom64 and 7th Shantae GBC on the way whenever they feel like it. A quarter of the Switch games I have they did which seems crazy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying Scott Pilgrim probably feels like buying a Beanie Baby that was already retired 10 years ago, not one that you're worried about getting retired in the future. I bet Contra Hard Corps Uprising would sell well. Edited January 17, 2021 by Californication 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I bother is the alternatives are all awful. A rental. Or paying a troll like 2-4x the price. My attitude softened on them when they went to doing retail releases and wide order windows with open preorders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,939 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Well I just watched that scott pilgrim movie. There were parts I could barely watch, the fights were mostly entertaining, a few were just dumb like the twins, and part of the vegan one but mocking vegans in the way he got wiped out made up for that. An ok movie because of some pretty nice moments, and yeah I get it was a total video game cheese flick there stage by stage. Not a great movie, watchable, not sure when I would again, but it does make me think it would be far more tolerable and entertaining as an actual brawler than to read or sit through it again.

I watched the movie years ago, and hardly remember much, which I think says what I thought of the movie overall. I do recall thinking it wasn't bad, but certainly far from "great". Never read the graphic novels, which I assume have a cult following hence the high sales of the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I could have browsed another book or two, the first one just wasn't good. Either way the game shouldn't be slammed over the mediocrity of the movie. I'm tempted to get it just because of what it looks like it plays like. I've got what, 3 weeks left to decide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,968 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) If you're that critical of the comics and the movie, the game probably won't do much for you either. Pretty much all of its appeal comes from the style, the visuals, the music, and all the gimmicks and setpieces. In terms of gameplay it's, pretty much like I said on the previous page, a pure hack'n'slash brawler. It's essentially rethreading River City Ransom. Fight 'n Rage which is also currently on preorder on LRG is definitely the beat'em up that has had most genuine fans of the genre react positively to how its play. I've even heard people claim it's one of the all time best games of the genre. Not sure if that's true, but it has me interested in delving further into it myself.

Tanooki | 4,939 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Funny I have Fight n Rage on GoG, somehow I forgot i had it too as it was either a super deal cut grab with something else or gifted, but I've not tried it. I've read nothing but great things about it though if you like RCR style stuff where you can develop your brawler as you go along. I probably will skip Scott Pilgrim, not going to be a problem if I didn't anyway. I know at the slow rate I'm going those games I do have sealed up on the shelf will take all year to blow through.
