Yeah I thought Luigi got a new VA at first honestly. But apparently it's still the same actor.
One controls Luigi and the right stick controls the Poltergeist
But you see when Luigi is facing forward the aiming is inverted so it's confusing
Love this game has so many cutscene nintendo keep making more for yours game it's adding extra charm :) I'm on floor 5
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Sometimes I have Luigi spinning around in circles like a dog chasing his tail.
This game earned my trust very, very quickly by supplying me with the plunger power right out of the box, then letting me roam around to pop a few optional objectives and doors with it before I was ever explicitly taught how to use it. I dislike tutorial gates or having to follow instructions, so experimenting with the toolkit and exploring breadth-first is always one of the first things I check.
I'm still a little thrown off by the apparent inconsistency in which direction Luigi turns when I move the R-stick (I keep expecting a tank-like rotation where left means anticlockwise and right means clockwise, viewed from the top, and I'm not getting it), and I still wish gyro were enabled on the horizontal axis along with the vertical one; but the lock-on reticle for the plunger or for other fired objects is a nice touch as an indicator of what is or isn't interactive.

Whoever it was that posted this video, thank you! These controls are so much better now!!!
Yeah, I figure that on my own. I have the aiming set to horizontal mode, which makes the overall experience better, but I still kinda prefer the tank-y movement of the first game. :/
That's funny because if anything I feel like the game is very guilty of gating. Any time I try to take my time to explore I get constantly told that I'm taking too long by E.Gad. Which just seems completely unnecessary given the fact that there's basically a help button in the VB. I also occasionally felt like backtracking to get a secret I later realized how to get (for example I didnt know the flashlight turned on green switches until later), and even if it's on the same floor I was stopped from going into prior rooms.
Hopefully this stops later on.
How's the Multiplayer? Wife was looking to play something co-op and I wondering how difficult this would be. She doesn't play many games aside from management/strategy games on PC and isn't too used to a controller
Understand that it takes a little while until you unlock Gooigi/co-op, but is more or less a complete experience from that point on?

This only happens very early on. You're still in what the game considers the tutorial, I think? I stopped getting them after the briefcase.
You can also turn off E. Gadd's hints, which I also recommend once you've activated Gooigi and everything.
Finishing the briefcase for me was I think about 2-2.5 hours, so it felt like it might have been a mechanic throughout the entire game. But yeah, I noticed after the briefcase I could at least go to different floors freely (dont know if it locked me out of sub areas), so that's nice to hear it stops.
The hints helped me a little with mechanics I didn't know about, but yeah, I'll probably turn them off now. Didnt know that was even an option.
I was actually fine with the hints until it gave me the solution to a puzzle I was still working on, which bummed me out. I had just had my eureka moment and was about to try it just to have E Gadd tell me what to do. That was when I turned it off.
But the whole "don't do that! do this instead!" thing ended early, which I appreciate.
Everything has been really fun so far, but floor 6 was the god damn business! Lots n' lots of great puzzle solving that takes full advantage of Gooigi's abilities with a great boss battle to top it off.
Also this game is just gorgeous.
Yeah, that was great; it's very "How do you do, fellow humans?" lol.

Can anybody tell me is there hd rumble on this as i felt nothing?? Bit diappointed if it doesnt. Love the animations though.
Never really played the first two, sadly. I wouldn't mind if Ninty brought those to Switch.
Anyway, I totally thought this was a secret door, but I guess not?
Yeah there is, it also does some sounds when you suck up stuff.
I'm assuming the gems are as worthless as in LM2? Because I'm missing one in the movie studio area and it taunts me since I was finally gonna complete a row.
One of the ghosts clearly gets detached from their "feet" when you talk to them lol. Luigi also shows a suspicious face whenever he approaches one of them. It just screams "something is not right about this..."
I also love how Luigi has enough
this game is great yall. feel bad for doubting NLG, this game has some fantastic polish. all the interactive elements are really neat. I do wish it was a little less segmented with the elevator, but what IS here is very good. and as far as the style is concerned, it doesn't quite have that EAD feel which is to be expected. overall, very solid effort from NLG, and definitely gives me hope for their future projects!
How soon to I get to unlock co-op? I played for a bit yesterday and I promised my gf there was co-op mode, but it didn't happen right away. Everyone is talking about floors and I have no idea where I'm at.
I guess first floor, I'm right where you first fight the two ghosts locking up the hotel. 🤔
You're roughly an hour away, I think. Co-op is unlocked once you obtain the ability to use Gooigi.
I've now progressed to floor 7 and I feel I have a more solidified opinion of the game now.
Pros:
- Finally a proper sequel to Luigi's Mansion.
- So many options you can do and it's usually very intuitive what needs to be done.
- Graphics, animations, atmosphere... All absolute top notch.
- The game just oozes with creativity in design of areas, puzzles and bosses.
Cons
- The game is just too easy. Some bosses can be hard but even they lack the old tug-of-war mechanic. The slam is way too op.
- I've gotten used to the controls now (only using shoulder buttons is indeed the way to go) but it still feels like the game is harder to control than the original, in particular precision aiming.
- Not a super big fan of the progression system with elevator buttons. The individual floors are a bliss to play but the formula becomes too much of a find boss > go to next floor rather than focus on discovery.
I'm still enjoying every minute with the game! There's just not anything quite like Luigi's Mansion.

This is my general opinion as well. I'm really enjoying the game despite everything though. My concern is replayability, where the first game had replayable value because of the boss scoring system and the end game mansion score based on how much treasure you collected, I'm not sure what kind of incentives are baked into to replay again. If you collect everything and do it all, what then?
It's annoying that the game punishes you for buying goods along the way, as the money spent isn't factored into the ending rank/reward. Especially since it doesn't warn you of this (and doesn't really make any sense since the money went to Egadd!)
Glad to hear there is an incentive to collect/save money. I haven't bought anything yet, because I was worried there might be some. I lost my first dog bone already, so we'll see how far I get without some support items. Lol.
Glad everyone is in agreement on the slam move. Maybe, just maybe they'll patch in a change, or at least an option of some sorts. I want the ghost busters style tug of war to be returned. I don't mind a slam poweruo, but should nerfed and the charge up should should require 3-5 times as much sucking up to achieve it. Way too easy as is
Floor 3F
In the restroom I can have Gooigi go through that pipe to the other restroom. But the water prevents me to do anything here. Probably something for later?

I like how strong smash is, make non-boss battles feel more fast pace and less repetitive, and with this game be on a stronger console, smash fits really well when they can put a great amount of ghosts in one room.
No, you can solve that one now. Just take a really close look around in the room you're coming from.
Keep exploring the bathroom, you are missing something.
I'm pretty far into the game and there's a lot of Gooigi use, so I imagine it wouldn't be that boring for another player even though it's all single-playerable, not like say, Mario Odyssey. Some levels have more mandatory co-op stuff than others but it seems like it would always be nice to have another player around to help point out secrets and ideas for puzzles and boss fights and tag-team ghost fights. And the Gooigi player is sort of invincible because they can respawn almost instantly, so it seems like it would be pretty nice for a casual partner.
I'm undecided if i should get this game or not. It looks fantastic and very funny, but the senseless money hunt is putting me off. Having a huge amount of currency without a purpouse is a big flaw in games for me personally...
But it really looks like a fantastic game... hmmm..
