    Is anyone buying this Megadrive classic?

    I tried to buy it earlier but I just got an error when I tried. There is online co-op play included so if anyone gets it add me on PSN.

    Buy it you fools. It's automatically the best game on the PS3 :)

    Yes I have a too much love for this game but it's excellent.

    As for not being able to download it it's just the typical PSN service, seems to go down for a while after a significant update.

    5 euros.....I dunno.

    Probably wouldn't like it.

    Played through two stages earlier. I had forgotten so much about it, i.e. the board game section. Amazing how they pulled that stuff off on the Megadrive.

    This is that game right? The one that Retr0 gets upset over? Because of some review?

    Tell me Retr0, should I trust you yet again and get this? What kind of game is it? I could just look it up on a wiki but I figure a post from you about it will be more entertaining.

    It's an amazing little game, arguably the best megadrive game ever. At least try the demo. Just don't use continus, son't play it on easy and when you beat it on normal try hard mode since it changes all the boss attack patterns.

    Yes this is the game I usually end up ranting about because the idiots at edge gave one of the best games ever made a 6/10. Basically this game is like Contra except way better. You have health so it's a bit more forgiving, it has melee moves, an excellent weapon system where you combine weapons to make 20 unique ones and one of the best co-op modes ever. Try the demo, it's loads of fun and only gets better. It also contains the second greatest boss battle ever, Seven Force. First place goes to Queen Fossil in G-Darius if anyone is wondering.

    You're lucky I've been playing Fallout 3 until now and am too tired for a full scale Gunstar Heroes rant.

    Wow now your making me want to buy it :eek: Hmm might buy it in the next week or so, looks like an alright game from just seeing pictures. Is there any trophy support? Because that would make me want to buy it even more :)

    Yes, there is trophies in the game.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,067 ✭✭✭L31mr0d


    Trophies: http://www.ps3trophies.org/game/gunstar-heroes/trophies/

    Will be getting this. Anyone want to play through it in online coop then? We could probably do it in 1 or 2 sittings. Send me a PM if you're up for it (I'd be up for completing it in 1 sitting tbh though :D)

    I'm kind of tempted now to pick this up now :/ Must see if the 3v voucher hasn't expired.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,761 ✭✭✭GothPunk


    I bought this the other day and I haven't been disappointed, it's stupid fun! I love the weapon combinations and the bosses are just kickass. I'm still a bit bad at it though, I'll have to play it a bit more before I join some Boardsies for co-op.

    I'm not the best either. Got to Orange and just quit, lol :p

    Anyway, I think you are in my friends list also. Do you want to try and play through it later or over the weekend. I'm going to see Transformers 2 tonight, so would be up for a run through ~11pm?

    Yeah I was going to send you a message about it. I'll be with the OH until about 12.30 tonight though, so if you're still up we can give it a go.

    If anyone wants to play it with me send a PM to organise it. The PS3 doesn't get much use so not on it that much.
