    Downloaded it because I absolutely loved it on PS3, but didn't play much because it was on PS3. (PS+)

    Crashes on every single start-up. Lame. :(

    EDIT:
    Forgot I had to enable the Steam beta. Works fine now. It works surprisingly well on PC, default controls are really nice.

    I've been playing this game on my PS3.

    ...Makes me wonder what sort of unbalance-hurdur-drugs the devs were taking. Granted, I wasn't expecting "too much" having played Sword & Soldiers HD via Steam too.
    But still...oh boy there's going so much flames after next Wednesday (when it's released on Steam).
    It's unblanced in a scale of Capcom's arcade games. It's simply that bad (and unfortunately I can't use savestate exploitation to even the chances, because this is a PVP-game).

    Yeah...played 2-3 hours when it came out....i'm not happy with it. At all. And it's sad, cuz i want to like it, but there are some flaws with the game that kill it for me.

    1. Matchmaking: Let's play a game *hits Quick Battle*. "Oh look i found a game, where it's me and 2 Bots against an overleveled team which is standing at our base-door. No point in playing." *leaves* Let's try again. Getting thrown into the same match. "Ok, maybe i just have to restart." I do that and i still get in the same f'n game!

    I was really pissed. Yes, it just came out, maybe it's just that, have to wait and see.

    2. Some classes are bullsh**. I'm saying out loud what i think, they suck. I forgot the name of the floating monkey, but that thing is as annoying as it can get. On one map (the worm one, whatever it's name is) he was floating above our top lane dropping bombs, without us having the chance to touch him. He just flies away and repeats. Great. And then there's Leon, that damn thing. Normally in MOBAs you think "Yeah, let's gank him". Try to get a Leon that has the same level as you and your team with a 2v1. HE will kill one and then escape, if not kill the 2nd guy.

    I want to like this game, since i love the artstyle. It just oozes style on every corner. But those flaws were never touched in early reviews etc. They were there in the beta, why not address it? And what happens when people voice their opinions on the forums of the developers? They get marked as trolls and bad players, which is disgusting to see! Outright disgusting to be called those things, because you have a different opinion. And it's not like it is on the SMNC forums, where it's senseless whining. I saw the threads on the Awesomenauts forums, where people had well though complaints to certain things and still they got called out.

    I don't know where to go from here right now. Maybe i play it for a couple of more days, maybe it gets better, but if not, i threw 10 Euro into the trash.

    Yeah I keep hearing mixed reviews about this game...

    Only means one thing, gotta get it for my self to see if I like it, not if someone else does or not.

    That's what i told some of my friends aswell when they said "Meh, i think i won't buy it then". Always try it for yourself. Don't listen to others.

    But ppl will jump into the game anyway...Why? TF2 PROMO COMING SOON! Come on! This game is not worth it! You have to get the game before Sept. 5 and you get a Sniper Hat and maybe something more, dunno yet. The Sniper Hat is confirmed so far.

    And what also baffles me: Why is there no Demo on Steam. Atleast i don't see it. There is a demo on the consoles, why not here aswell?

    Yeah I don't know why there is no Demo on PC yet...

    I really hope they implement a demo so that people (w/o PS3 or XBX) can determine whether or not they would actually like to purchase this game or not. :roll:

    It actually happens a lot, that there are no PC demos, but console demos arrive in masses. It really disgusts me sometimes. "Herp, derp, PC gamers are the master-race, they can buy anything, because they have money."

    EDIT: Fresh from the store-page of awesomenauts: "Pick up the game before September 5th and receive 3 Awesomenaut-inspired items to use in Team Fortress 2. These items will be available in the upcoming days."

    Kill me...

    Demos are mandatory on every Xbox LIVE Arcade release.

    Sorry, didn't know that, since i don't own an Xbox. But please...if you do a demo for the PS3 then aswell, please offer one for the PC aswell. You have Steam, it's easy for people to get that way so they can actually try it out and not buy games blind

    sigh
    Time for idiot TF2 traders to storm in and either try the game and instantly label it terrible or just let it rot in their libraries

    Yup, exactly that. There are already mixed reviews for it and i really want it to succeed, if they fix some things first, but this is counter-productive.

    Well they had to come up with some sort scheme to get the game sold from day one. Too bad the game was overdosed with brain-damaging-rage-inducing-unbalance-drugs...

    Now, don't get me wrong: Game "is good". But it's utterly unblanced (which to me is over 9/10 things that matters to me most, aside other very broken things which all leads eventually to balance).
    So at the moment there's much better games and things you could spend your 10€ (Like Dark Gates or Wazhack, or heck even four treasure ball keys in SMNC).
    I'll eventually will buy the soundtrack stand alone if I really must, because that's least one of the better things about the game. And perhaps after (hopefully) several patches I may buy on Steam too. But now, no way...

    Dude... This game... Is like SMNC but in 2D. LEON IS THE TRUE FATASSIN!

    INSTA-BUY... WAIT I DON'T HAVE MONEY. ILL JUST TRADE MY PAX STUFF FOR IT. PRABLEM SALVED!

    Unfortunately, the cons to this game, gameplay wise... Is similar to SMNC. But now in 2D! I don't approve of the drop-in / out system which is just like our Turbocross. But you get rewarded more money (Solaris in this game) for it if you press "Random" on the character selection, and if you happen to join mid-game, it gives you bonus solaris and xp as well.

    If you can deal with no-self-damage-dealing-non-destroyable (unless using specific abilities)-grenade-mine-spamming-kids, even then burning 10€ isn't worth it.
    But if you're gonna get the TF2-items and the soundtrack with 1€ discount (when purchased in bundle), then go ahead.

    To be frank, this game is full PVP-at the moment: The droids/creeps are only there as nuisance as killing them isn't nearly as paying as simply just bum rushing into other player and killing them outright. Oh, and it's full "last hit"-emphasised game; there is no kind of reward for assistances. None.
    Actually, you could almost ignore the droids completely, because once you get your super-ranged weapons/abilities, you can just rush the turrets and the drill-core with no efford (at least in the current version, console and steam-version are identical).
    Oh, and every turret is basically a inhibitor, which spawns a "jackbot"-equilevant droid capable killing droidds without efford and givin lots of damage on heros/nauts/players.

    But I'm just touching the tip of the ice-berg...
    People keep saying it's fun because "all the characters are overpowered". But there's just way too many issues in the game. Buggest being that prestige players and newbies are not seprated at all. And the game always/contantly puts prestige and newbies in complete different teams. And since prestige players have unlocked characters and nauts that newbies have no way of having when they just started to play...you'll get the image.

    I got this game on PS3 with PSN Plus and I feel ripped off like wasting 10€ into a rage-inducing Capcom Arcade-machine and getting non-existing ending (mainly the 80's and early 90's ones).
