Hello Games: 10% of Joe Danger Players Have Actually Finished It

Joystiq: "Usually, when we purchase a game, we intend to experience as much of it as we can. Call us crazy, but isn't that the point? According to a blog entry over on Edge from Hello Games' Sean Murray, his studio's recent PSN release, Joe Danger, only had a 10 percent completion rate."

[Focker-420]

I'm in that 10%. It was unbelievably difficult towards the end. I played the 2nd to last level over 1000 times (no joke)

I was also amazed just at how many levels there were in the game. I thought I'd be finished in a few hours. It took me weeks.

Joe Danger is AWESOME!!

[despair]

yup that second to last level is the hardest in the game by far, took me 600 tries(it counted for me) and a strained wrist from holding the R2 so long. But one of the most satisfying games I've ever beaten.

[MmaFanQc]

because i had a trip to brazil the next day, but i plan to finish it later this month.

[Motorola]

its that long?! crap im gonna go buy it XD

[t0mmyb0y]

It was hard, but 600+ tries?

[dead_eye]

i still ain't finished it. dont think i'm even half way through and it's already a hard game. very good game too.

[despair]

alot of the tries lasted a few seconds seconds because of faulty start or missed timing early on.

[ActionBastard]

Awesome game. Incredibly fun and challenging...I will not let it beat me.

[callahan09]

I finished it! I don't have 100% trophies though. Some of the challenge stars are too tough for me, but I do have most of them.

[Mr Exclusive]

whos the prick thats handing out disagrees?

[Brklynty1]

i only bought it cuz i didnt have enough for wipeout HD i gave my friend a gameshare he says its great idk i just cant get into it... that and im catching up on my games i cant wait till vanquish comes out and the games in nov im slowly turning into a trophy whore

[Blaine]

It's great that so many people in this thread say they love the game, but personally it's not my thing at all.

Actually, I almost didn't finish the demo. I say almost because, if it'd been one level longer, I wouldn't have played the extra level. Turned out the last level I was willing to play was actually the last level of the demo.

I found it repetitive, and didn't find the gameplay fun at all. But hey, like I said, that's me and my tastes. Great that you guys love it.

[MGRogue2017]

I've thinking about getting this.. But I don't know

Do you think I should get it??

Agree: Yes
Disagree: No

[Bathyj]

I wonder how many people have finished Angry Birds.

[njd82]

I finished angry birds.....3 stars on like 99% of the levels. 2 of them are just complete bastards though.

ok......

I'll be honest.....

I got bored of it after a week and my girlfriend completed Angry Birds with 99% of the levels on 3 stars.

[ChronoJoe]

They didn't finish it, because they didn't enjoy the game enough to want to play it to it's conclusion. Not because they thought the game was too long.

Not that there's anything wrong with the game, mind you. It's pretty fun. I'm one of the people who hasn't finished it either simply because whilst it's pretty fun it doesn't appear to introduce anything new, as things progress. The levels get more difficult, but everything seemed to remain pretty easy overall with the exception of some of the perfect trick, levels where you need to sustain a combo for the entire level - these are more of a case of trial and error and tedium, than anything else though.

It is a great game though, the core gameplay is very fun. It just needed more content. I think these 10% figures would be in place on most of these relatively cheap, PSN titles though. They're cheap so people buy them without full awareness about what they entail, and as they're cheap they don't feel pressed to warrant there purchase by actually completing the game. However think the opposite is in effect with $60 retail titles.

[SeanRL]

I didn't finish it either, it really just couldn't keep me interested. Though it's fun to play every now and then.

[kingdavid]

I picked it up after reading IGN's 9.5 review.

Is it that good? No.

Its a solid 8/10 game and not really "must have" as it was made out to be by IGN. Personally I prefered Trials HD on the xbox.

[despair]

its all down to preference, to me it was a 9.5 but as you said, to you its an 8.0, what no one can deny is that its a great game.

[kingdavid]

Yep, everything I stated was just an opinion. Its not right or wrong.

[ChronoJoe]

Whilst I thought Joe Danger was slightly overrated, in relation to IGNs 9.5 at least. I thought Trials was much less fun.

[madpuppy]

also, I really hate the '70's feel of the game, and Joe Danger himself looks disturbing to me.

[SnakePlissken]

Why hate the 70s feel of it? That was the best part! Great game. Youre avatar looks disturbing! lol

[madpuppy]

I really have nothing to say about yours...who could find fault with the great Snake Plissken.

Between Snake, Jack Burton and R.J. MacReady we got Carpenter's classic Trifecta.

[49erguy]

I find it pretty boring actually. I saw the trailer and HAD to buy it. I was disappointed and lost interest in it a while ago. Flower still has me hooked though.

Joe Danger is not a bad game, but its just boring to me. Same environments, different ramps. Collect stars, jump around and do a few cartoony stunts. Major disappointment for me.

As for PSN downloads I'M REALLY REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO DEAD NATION!

[49erguy]

In addition, 9.5 is REDICULOUS.

[49erguy]

Tell me what's so 9.5 about the game then. If you're gonna disagree, talk like a man (or woman).

[OneSneakyMofo]

I downloaded the demo, and it was really fun. Right now I'm on a backlog of 10 or so different games, but I'll get around to it eventually.

[PirateThom]

I am in that 90%, good game and everything but I just kind of burned out on it.

[Throwaway2020]

Anyone thinking about getting this. Don't until you try the demo and if you still want to play it after getting through about half the game free.Then go right on ahead. The demo was enough for me despite it being fun and all.

[kasasensei]

I am sure that even less people finished trialsHD on the 360.
I tried joe danger, but it does not attract me as much as trialsHD which is for me one of the 3 best games on the xbla. :)

[peeps]

Was enjoyable first but got boring quickly imo

[Corrwin]

For an already saturated video game market, and the constant release of newer entertainment.

[kasasensei]

Joe Danger is a motor bike game, do you really think that genre of game saturates the market?

[Corrwin]

Not "saturated motorbike game market". I think Joe Danger is a breath of fresh air, but that gets lost when you have so many games released each month.

[SnakePlissken]

hey man, carpenter is a frikin genius! cant say anything negative about him. halloween 1 and 2 were some of the best horror films of all time! not this rob zombie garbage, he f@ckin butchered the halloween movies! making myers an 8 foot tall looking wrestler? lol, that was such a joke.
