Katamari Forever

Greg

An acquaintance recently informed me of a method to order US software through Rakuten. A method I could have discovered on my own if I used the SEARCH FUNCTION.

It's a sweet deal in that when you consider that I'd have to do two shipments if I ordered from a US source, it's actually cheaper to buy it through Rakuten.

I made a promise not to use the service unless I absolutely positively must have a game lest my hippocampus detonate.

I played the Katamari demo and was unable to contain myself.

I must stick things to a rolling ball. The ball must grow in proportion.

I am playing the waiting game, counting the days until the product arrives at my doorstep. Visions of collecting incrementally larger objects and plotting pathes for faster and faster collections consume me.

I must play it.

heard of this game…
simple but brillaint

but is it a new version of the game..?
cause the actual (or the 1 i know)katamari is a few years old.
or maybe i heard just 1-2 yrs ago about his production and saw a demo

this one:

Just watching that gives me a raging one.

You should see the second final roll. It's sick.

My Beautiful Katamari is one of the few reasons I want a (working) 360. Looks soooooooooooooooooooo fun!

Man this game is awesome, I love what they did with the graphics.

I have played every Katamari game and even tho this one only have 4 new stages and the rest are old favorites it's my favorite

hadex

I played the first two ones from the PS2 and were awesome. Really looking forward for this one.

Greg

Good Lord this is amazing. Its a shame there arent more new stages but they more than make up for it with some of the best stages from the past and the MOUNTAIN of challenges.

Little bummed about them making the BIG stages the option of having Eternal. That was the best part of We Love Katamari, the biggest stage had a limit so you kept coming back.

J-Sack

Yea, picked this up a few weeks ago. Awesome game. The scores remind me how much I suck at it though. Oh well. The different styles are awesome. Drive mode is also pretty ridiculous.

Conekiller

I finally unlocked the "RollUp the King in the Cosmos" stage in Eternal last night! Now I can take my sweet time and appreciate the immenseness of STUFF in these stages and how well they're laid out.

I have a new level of hatred for the 10,000degree challenge, especially in the otherwise fun Katamari Drive mode.

Greg

I wish they had an easier way to determine what's unlockable for which stages. I tried forever to unlock eternal in the 'watering' stage and it turns out there…isn't one.

Hekti

It's an awesome game though I just can play it at my friend's place since I just have a Wii … why no Wii release of that game T_T

SSM

Because it would be horrible on the Wii. At best, inferior to the other consoles. Just like every other multiplatform Wii game.

Greg

Last night I managed a 1,990,000km roll. Closer and closer. It's a bitch to navigate the last area without touching stuff you don't (yet) want. I've almost completed all the requests, just need to polish off the Heat level and the first Just Right roll.

Greg

My first Platinum. I feel so special.

J-Sack

I'm only 85%. The 50,000 on that mini game is a bitch. I got 42,000. Maybe I just suck.

Greg

Here's the trick dude.

I saw you got all the Cousins so choose Pokkle (I think that's his name) he looks like a little human. Remove ALL accessories. Then in the punishment game, walk to the left side and just leave him there. Don't even worry if he gets hit or not. You'll probably clear 50,000 EASY in a few attempts.

J-Sack

Well that worked well with judgment of when to move my ass. Thanks!

Now to complete my collection…. tomorrow... maybe x.x

Ren-of-Heavens

Man I really can't complete the collection
just 97% and I really want this platinum

Greg

97's a lot still missing.

Have you tried the FAQs? They helped with some of the common hard-to-get items.

Of course there will probably be some you just gotta look for yourself which is as hard as it sounds.

Ren-of-Heavens

yeah still 100 item left i tried but a lot of what am missing are not in the list

Local-chan

Got this one today…

TOO FUCKING ADDICTING! ITS SO AMAZING ITS SCARY XD!

Greg

Your first time? It's even better if you ask it not to be gentle.

Local-chan

What do you mean? Is there an option for a Hard Mode?

Greg

No, I was using a sexual comparison for no reason in particular.

In short, dive into the game and let it consume you entirely until you've Platinumed the bitch and you will have enjoyed every moment.

Tizoc

Hmm I'll prob. get this game when it's price drops…
