Shubibinman- love it or hate it????

[PunkicCyborg]

I decided to play through the fist shubi because after clearing Energy I didn't think I had had enough punishment..... Well things started off rocky, getting used to the weird icey controls, figuring out the map and how to buy stuff and upgrade your gear, learning the levels etc. I didn't think I was making any progress. I had only cleared maybe 3 levels and I wasn't getting anywhere.
After getting some skillz I started to knock levels out one by one, I was on a roll! Even though I could go straight to the last level I wanted to clear every level and get all the items. So there I was with one level left to clear, maybe 3 hours into this game, actually LIKING it and getting excited.... I was even bragging in the chat about how I was gonna clear it and then....GAME OVER. I guess I had a certain number of credits but I had no idea since all the dialogue was in moonspeak. Damn I can't believe I spent a whole afternoon on one of my days off playing this and then losing it all. So brutal NCS Masaya!
I don't know if I have what it takes to continue another night and go for a clear. I've come so far but the punishment of playing this game.... I don't know if I can take it again...... Yet I'm compelled to continue and maybe beat it by 3 am tonight

Anyone else played this through? What are your opinions? I can tell you this, I can't stand the freaking monkeys that jump all over the place. And the dragon that bounces all over the screen is a bitch!!


Sorry if this came off as a rant but I needed to vent. Maybe I'll post later with a triumphant all clear feel better about my PCE addiction??

I have never spent much time with this game. I always end up playing Ninja Warriors instead.

I told you you should've played Hatris - it's not at all frustrating.

It's a great game. There's a learning curve in what levels to play to gain items to complete it (not really that difficult) and once you get used to the controls, there's some enjoyable platforming to be had. Music is also very nice.

I need to try the game again and give it a second chance. I liked #2 and #3 for sure.  hmmm


Just give it a few more days then go back and finish it. A little break goes a long way

[sunteam_paul]

It's way better than #2 if you can see past the ropey graphics.

I need to try it on the console itself or a computer emu, I tried it on my phone and the controls were just horrendous,when compared to #2, again Emu on phone not the best of ways to judge a game.

I enjoy all 3, though #3 is the best.
though it should be, since its a SCD game.
anyone tried the shubibinman game on SFC? I think it was a satellaview only game.

 I agree with this.. and as for the music.. ^________^

one of those few pc-e hucard games where the music has such a warm sound.

Im actually going to get this soon!!

[PunkicCyborg]

Well after getting some more practice I finally beat it! I skipped a couple stages that didn't have usefull items cause I was getting impatient but I did clear them last night so I don't think I'm missing anything. Despite my frustration from the first post I did end up enjoying this game and would recommend it to people who like platformers. It's actually quite fun and challenging but not too hard.

[RegalSin]

That game is so hard I wanna bape it, like no tommorow..................did I say something rwong

[TR0N]

Can't say i put enough time into it to hate it.Still i was put off by it's controls,there just to damn loose agrhhhhh ! To me at least i think part 3 is the best one in the series follow by part 2.

[Black Tiger]

I've only tried it for a few minutes a few times, but I liked what I saw more than part 2, which I've played through a couple times but am not crazy about. I don't like part 3, which had potential but it looks and feels like an incomplete prototype that got cut short and released unexpectedly.

[Nando]

Well, I bit the bullet. I have a copy of it coming my way in the near future, thanks to Mishram!
