Are you kidding? That weapon is pretty boss.
...but only in the places you mentioned so I guess you're right.

[Aklyon]

Are you guys talking about the Nemesis? Its really good at Lv.1, but thats not a new weapon at all.

[Blaze]

Is it really that hard to avoid experience triangles, and failing that, taking damage?

In CERTAIN SCREEN-SHAKING LEVELS, it is actually rather hard not to collect the experience crystals.

Taking damage, however, is a given. I would be suprised if you were not taking damage in CERTAIN SCREEN-SHAKING LEVELS.

 In the final encounter, having that thing is unreal. It's the only thing that let me pass the final struggle.

Yeah, I thought Darvi was keeping the name and stuff secret and in spoiler tags so I just followed along.

So while looking around for people's thoughts on Cave Story+, I found something that might be rather nice once I get around to buying this if Balrog still shouts the wrong thing.

Edit: better link.

[Sowelu]

Downloading now.

EDIT:  Here's the single most important thing you need to know.



I am pleased.

[SirAaronIII]

yessssss
I feel that the older graphics were better than the newer ones, based on what I saw in the video on Steam. I just.. think they feel.. cleaner. Or something.

[Sowelu]

This is growing on me a lot.  The new music doesn't have the same charm, but it does have a different charm.  Same with the graphics...and the slightly alternative character interpretations in the text.  They are probably more faithful.  No "Huzzah!" though.

EDIT:  So far I'm up to Balfrog, and the only thing the "Hard" difficulty seems to do is to remove all health powerups.  Well, that and give you a new sprite.

Kind of disappointed.  No new boss patterns or anything.  :|

[Wolf Tengu]

OH YEAH!

Anyhow, what's the maximum life?

[Sowelu]

On Hard mode you're stuck on 3.  It's amazing how many things do 3+ damage.  Normally, on the old game, it's 50.

[Wolf Tengu]

It's more than that on the new mode.

I wonder if enemies do more damage to compensate. Haven't played the old one, don't know.

[Sowelu]

Ooh, I knew there was something else missing.  Hard mode = no missiles.

I do not recommend hard mode.  It's just mean.  It is not "hum diddle I'll just play through this game" enjoyable even if you are really, really good.  I mean, it's quite functional as a challenge mode, but don't convince yourself that it's a normal difficulty by any means.

If you want something slightly better, play normal mode without the rocket launcher. Enemies won't drop missiles for you to pick up, which makes healing easier.

Also, if you make it to the final area, the missile upgrade gives you 100 rockets instead.
