What did you assume when you first started playing Cave Story?

Well, first I thought it was about a caveman that ran around hitting people with snakes. When I started playing it, I walked a bit and thought that Quote was a girl. I did watch the opening thing and the guy looked evil, so I saw the guy at the computer and started wondering stuff.... I played through up to the Mimiga Village and when King was talking about Sue I thought I was sue... What? I was the same color as them. So when I got up to Balrog and Misery I thought the Doctor was the guy at the computer (Kazuma).

I was way off.

I thought Quote was an Ash Ketchum-edit. :eek:

But otherwise I followed the stuff almost the same as Deceased Crab says in his Let's Play.

 

I pretty much understood all the stuff going on in the game, story wise I didn't really assume anything before playing the game. I had heard about it elsewhere, so I had an idea of how it worked, not completely, just the basic gist of it. What I didn't count on, was it being so much fun!... Or so short... :eek:

 

I'm kinda a simple guy who'd not want to think much. So, just go along with the game... just play even though I don't fully understand.... feel like crying after defeating the core the first time..... lol

 

For me it seemed like the game ended too soon.

Then I learned about Hell because I had no idea you could save Curly and thought it was a part of the storyline. lol

 

Yea, like I said, I felt like crying when Curly dies...

Me too. Then after returning to the Mimiga Village the 'Quiet' music got me all emo, and when I entered The Egg Corridor my mind was full of the vengeance the track 'Scorching Back' offered.

 

After beating the Core the first time, I referred to the Cave Story FAQ on GameFAQs, and saw this part:

If you have the
Tow Rope at this point, you can take her along with you. If not, well... you
just killed her. Way to go.

And I said: "... Oops..." :eek:

 

I too confused Kazuma and the Doctor at first...

Didn't make many assumptions so I had no clue what to expect of Sue, only I thought it'd be someone... a bit older... :eek:

After the initial part the rest was straightforward and all.

 

I'm glad to see that I am not the only one who killed Curly on their first playthru. haha

 

I noticed the "ooh shiny" at the bottom-right corner so I was lucky enough to save curly. And I kept trying until I got to the waterway cabin.

Though when I first played it (looking at the first room) I thought it would be a dungeon crawler puzzle game, I was sooo wrong.

 

I assumed that the beginning of the game was the Plantation (I watched a friend play that part, not seeing the earlier parts.) and when I started in It was all "WTF?!".
Then I thought my controls were broken, cause I'm used to a Mario-style primary jump config...

 

I Wiki'd Cave Story before playing it (which is actually bad since I kinda spoiled myself :<). Well, since I Wiki'd it and only looked at bits of the article, I didn't completely know the whole story, but I did read that it was a highly respected game even to the point of it being comparable to games like Metroid and Castlevania.

That basically urged me to try it, and so I did. On that same day, I finished it.

So you can guess what I assumed when I first played Cave Story. XD

 

Cave Man. Dinosaurs. Lol.

The only problem I have with comparing CaveStory to Metroid and Castlevania is that it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too short even if you go thru hell. :eek:

 

The part I really was like "WTF?" was when Kazuma's sis was revealed to be a Mimiga.

Then, when I met Itoh, I was like "OMFG!! So that was it!".

 

"OMFG!!".

keep it up

Seriously. It's so incredible yet so short, but then again, Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya made all this by himself...the 8-bit style graphics, the smooth gameplay and the awesome OST. Of course it wouldn't be really lengthy, but he's still great as a one man army. ^_^

I quote a user from another forum: "Why must you make me lol so?"

 

Damn.
The world is doomed.

wtf that site doesn't even exist.

 

If you can link to it it exists.
