Here's the thing: Technically, you can download the Knives Chau add-on pack for Scott Pilgrim vs The World, which adds the titular, ever-pining youngster to the game's cast of characters, along with a PvP arena, special dodgeball mode and drop-in, drop-out offline co-op, but it won't do you any good. At least right now it won't.
Those who've already downloaded the DLC are reporting that they can't access any of the new goods at all. At this point, accessing the DLC seems dependent on a title update. We've contacted both Microsoft and Ubisoft for clarification on the issue and will let you know what we find out.
Unfortunately the new achievements aren't completely working because they haven't been updated on Xbox.com. If you do get them, it won't really count. You'll have to recover your gamertag and earn them again once the site finally updates. =/
This topic is a bit late. The title update was released today but now the achievements aren't being tracked. If you had earn the achievements then you will have to recover your gamertag and redo them whenever they do register.
@Slaziman The PS3 version is suffering from a coincidentally similar, but ultimately different problem (since they're both caused by specifics of either systems handling of DLC achievement/trophies). Someone at Microsoft just needs to get off their ass and add them to xbox.com, and everything will work fine.
Every developer who worked on this game should just quit, because they took a solid game design and awesome artwork and turned it into garbage
It has 5-10 second load times on every menu screen, it's riddled with bugs, the AI is TERRIBLE (seriously, there's barely any difference between the easiest and hardest difficulties except the stats of the enemies) and this issue with the DLC goes beyond "slap in the face"
Does this update fix the difficulty? I really just wanted to breeze through this game without a lot of grinding, but I found even "Average Joe" to be too much of a pain in the ass. It's a shame, because the game itself is pretty cool, I'm just really not interested in replaying those long levels multiple times.
@LoveYouSomeEric I heard it cuts life in half for enemies on the Average Joe difficulty. Also, I believe the patch came out today but achievements still haven't been added to Xbox.com so if you unlock them you'll have to.. reunlock them
@LoveYouSomeEric The enemies do seem to fall much faster on Average Joe. I think it's a good thing. For the "easy mode" of a game, it was still pretty difficult. Halving the enemy health also keeps the pace of the game fast, because you're constantly getting the five-kills speed boost, and it builds a lot of momentum.
I'm not very good at beat-em-ups, admittedly. But that's kind of the point of the update. You shouldn't have to be an expert at these games to beat it. I'm a fan of this game's art style and music especially, so for me the punishing gameplay was a downside. Besides, it's not like there aren't other difficulty options to choose from if you want a more hardcore experience. Let "Average Joe" be the casual one anyone could get through without too much effort.
This game locks up constantly on both Xboxes in my house, and even when it doesn't, it's a crap shoot whether it'll save after I finish levels. It's a goddamn shame; this should be a legendary game, but instead I don't play it any more because I can't put up with the technical frustration.
I just downloaded the patch and the DLC, and now all in-game text is replaced with "???" and there's no sound.
Am I going insane?
