viva pinata

[Aada]

if your copy arrives first im gonna cry

I would have thought you will you're copy tomorrow if you do post a mini review

 

[Delket]

only the LE released so far?

btw, the US version works on pal-machines, so you can already get it from play-asia and vgp.ca

Whats difference between LE and normal?

Seems like it could either really go down well with my tastes or i find it awful /reads more reviews.

 

[Starman]

The LE includes an episode of the TV cartoon series.

i assume LE is limited edition. i dont see whats so limited tbh. has a few demos and an episode of the cartoon i think. still, its cheaper than the standard edition in the uk.

well, still didnt turn up.

im betting on it being 'lost' as usual.

none recorded Airmail is a funny old thing i've ordered a few games from play-asia in the past when i ordered say on a friday they didn't dispatch it until sunday/monday and it wouldn't arrive until the monday after.

The post office probably has a quota of how many air mail parcels they send out each day probably to meet the demands of 1st class mail and they know that airmail can take up to a week or so.

I wouldn't worry i'd be confident of it being here before the weekend if not that plain sucks arse lol.

I'm always tempted to get my over seas mail shipped with UPS because you will have it in a couple of days 100% but then when they come knocking on the door they always get that import tax paper out and you have to pay them around £5-£10.

My copy arrived this morning, not bad as they shiped it on monday.

I'll give it a whirl soon, as I get home from work in about 25 mins.

god damn you

 

[tris-]

and out of interest, did you actually get charged less than stated on the website? i was charged 1.80 less on my CC bill, which when i worked out means the postage paid was what it would cost to deliver to canada and not GB :/

 

[Deacan]

I was charged the same price, I noticed on the envelope they put the value as $20 CDN to avoid import tax.

Cool man give us thoughts etc.

They have shipped my game but not even charged my bank yet whats up with that? the money they need seems to have been put aside though somehow.

 

[tris-]

i should of been more patient, it did infact arrive.

the only gripe i have is the 100s of cutscenes every time a new pinata comes into the garden. i also got stuck in wondering wtf do (lol).
but it seems like do what you want to do and its all good.

 

[Deacan]

You got Xbox Live yet Tris?

 

[Wonk]

[Deacan]

Ah cool, if you have a gold account i'll send you something.

 

[tris-]

Ah cool, if you have a gold account i'll send you something.

i do indeed.

how the hell have you got something to send already

i dunno if im just an idiot or what but im really not getting far with it

played for 3 hours and the furthers i got was 2 of those organge dog things took up residence. i did try a strat of hardcore breading worms and growing plants but never really made any chocolate coins

i am suprised at the level of incest in this game. and no where did i read about the magic enema missiles that are used to kill stuff.

I got me Viva Piñata a few days ago, and I can confirm that it definitely is a winner
Very cute and charming game. Worth a look for even grown up "kids"

 

[Aada]

Both Viva Pinata and Phantasy Star came today going to be a good day

 

[tris-]

this game is a hell of a lot easier if youve been smoking pot. i must of played it for 2-3 hours last night in a haze and when i went to look this morning i was amazed at my complex ego system and ingenious garden designing.

it seems i created the garden for insects and water seeking creatures.

 

[Deacan]

I havent had much time to play it yet, but my garden is a war zone.

hehe that happend to me. buzzlegum is the main trouble maker in my garden. i just sell them on straight away.

 

[tris-]

LOL@ the shellybean with a hat on, why didnt i think of that before.

i sent you something back in return

 

[Deacan]

I wanted to give him a pirate hat, I gave you Beans as he kept fighting.

How did you get the butterfly thing yellow?

 

[Delket]

Loving it but i really do suck, not sure how to make money or progress . Think im level 14 or so and have fudgehog thingies and newts/frogs only i cant seem to work out how to attract ants (never even seen them) to breed newts or cows (for milk to breed the fudgehogs) so im in a bit of a rut ;< Any advice?

 

[Aada]

This game gets freaking mental after abit yeah i'm getting rid of them Buzzlegum shit now thanks for the tip but i think i'm going to start afresh and try and make some sense of it all.

I hope they add that co-op patch that would be awsome

 

[tris-]

i think i'm going to start afresh and try and make some sense of it all.

thgats what i did last night. now it all makes perfect sense

yellow butterfly

Spoiler

get it to eat a buttercup

i recommend you tame a sherbat too. they look so frickin cool when they are tamed
