Now we now what he is. He's a manpire! There's a lot of releases I'm looking forward to this year and this is one of them.
Loved Magicka, both singleplayer and multiplayer (Even though my co-op buddy always kills me). I wonder if they will introduce newer spells.
Hopefully the optimization in the game isn't complete shit this time around.

My only issue with this game is that, from looking at gameplay videos, it seems as if you can no longer cast specific magickas (like ressurect or tornado) at any time by inputting the right element combo. It looks as if you now have to pick four that you have in a hotbar that now have a cooldown system. If that's true, it sucks because the need to type in long strings of elements, with many of them being harder to make hybrid elements, was a really clever way of restricting players from casting the more powerful magickas. To replace it with a lazy cooldown system and the limitation of only being able to cast four is silly.

You get them in your muscle memory with the first 5 uses.
I just hope the controls on PC are better. I had no difficulty remembering what the spells were but the controls just felt so shitty and felt way too hard to navigate

That is what made the game fun. Fuck up shit, spam spells, magickas, kill everyone including yourself and your friends. I really hope it won't be like this, or that those magickas on the bottom will be just 'helpers' for quick casting when you really need to cast something with one click.
Ohhh hey! On my birthday :D
Now I hope I can play this one.
[QUOTE=EcksDee;47263067]Lmao, no. You get them in your muscle memory with the first 5 uses.[/QUOTE] Well it makes them harder to use in the heat of combat, especially if you're wet, or on fire. So you can't spam them like crazy.

meteor shower + Shift Shield = Mad Co-op partners
My favorite levels were fighting Vlad in his mansion and the Grim Reaper. [I]"WHAT? You fought him? Why didn't you just say anything?"[/I]
My strategy consisted of Crashing to Desktop as many times as possible in as short a timespan as possible. I tells ya, it made my co-op partner real mad when I had a literal 1:100 chance to kill myself with it and STILL killed myself first try.
Spam lightning bolt and rainstorm all day long.
ARSE mines all the way baby.
