Turns out there's only six masters in the new Peggle. That's a bit disappointing.
And no leaderboards - which is just baffling considering it's a score-attack game.

Still loving it, though :D - despite it still crashing from time to time. Has happened to me (twice), the wife (three times), and one of the kids (once) now.

Congrats to Microsoft, who have finally released some sales figures. The console has shifted over 2 million units in it's first 18 days.
Not bad at all!

The ps4 shifted 2.1m in it's first 18 days - but had only been out in NA for the first 14 of those days.
It's about as fair a comparison as you can get, really, given the differing release schedules.

Clearly Microsoft is behind Sony - but it's much much closer than I'd been expecting. I was sure the Sony would outsell the One by at least 2:1, and feared it might actually be much worse than that.
Pretend I have a cool signature thing here.

Prehaps you underestimated how many disgruntled Wii U owners there were.. who had to buy another console, just to play some new games ;)

I've only got to the 2nd master on Peggle.. Jeff - he's fucking brilliant! lol

Love the music, art, and gameplay - I heard they had cut the # of masters down.. and whilst it is slightly disappointing, I personally thought there were a least 2 or 3 totally naff masters in the first game that I never played with.. unfortunately Bjorn was one of them lol.. but the flower and pyramid ones also spring to mind.

Saw those One sales figures earlier, can't believe that Sony and Microsoft managed to ship that many, particularly Microsoft with their ESRAM yield issues. Very impressive shipment figures, going to be interesting to see how both consoles sell after Christmas. :o

Maybe Nintendo should just surrender now lol ;D :P

Still haven't had any crashes on peggle 2 yet.. up to the 3rd master now.. Berg I think, he's also great.. although there are less masters overall, I feel much more attached to these new ones - they are all great so far..

One thing I don't like is the fucking Xbox game-clip recorded pop-up that seems to come up all the time for me.. is there a way to turn that off - unless I specifically say Xbox Record That.. stop with the recording already - its also annoying on fifa, which seems to record every volley you attempt  ::)

Haven't seen a way to disable that, but I'm happy to leave it to do it's own thing.

Maybe you don't get that popup as much as I do in peggle, late  :P ;)

I really had trouble with luna's levels, I think I hate her power, am on the last set of levels, am I missing a master, only seen 5, perhaps it's not the last set of levels then

Yeah, there's only five including Bjorn. Then there's a set where you can pick your favourite master.
Shame there's no online leaderboard. You'd be weeping at how poor you are in comparison. ;)

Got my first dashboard reset on Peggle 2 last night  :-\  Like you said, its no biggy... how far are you through then late?  I've completed the first 3 sets of 10 trials - I really enjoy the trials, but finding them a bit easy (compared to the challenges in the first game) - not sure how many rainbows I have overall, will check tonight.  The last set of levels are bloody hard compared to the rest of the levels though.

I've done all 60 regular levels, and I think I'm a little under half-way through the bonus stages.

I agree Luna's crap. I've got one or two rainbow objectives on most levels for most masters, but on hers I've probably only got one or two from the ten levels combined. :(
One of the achievements I got yesterday was for number of rainbows, but I can't remember how many it was (possibly 60?) - and it seems you can't check xbox one achievements on xbox.com - just xbox360 achievements. Unless I'm missing something - which is entirely possible.

I plan on finishing the bonus levels then going back for rainbows - most of which should be fairly straightforward for the first 3 or 4 masters.
You don't need to get all three objectives at once, and you don't need to complete the level for some of them. (ie if you need 400k score, clear all pegs, and get a long-shot on a level and you already have the first two then I think you can start the level, do a longshot, then back out and all three will be ticked. Of course for most you'll have to do the full level though, as the missing objectives are often highscore or clear all pegs.)


Lego Marvel reset to dash yesterday. It's the only time it's done it in dozens of hours of play, so not much of a problem - but it's a little worrying that two games have now done it.

Yeah the crashing to Home thing is most certainly a software issue - otherwise your X1 would freeze up... plus I have played Forza more than anything and not had a single reset... I hope developers get it sorted soon - I can only begin to imagine how annoying it would be in other games that don't have as much auto-save as peggle 2 lol.

Sounds like your at the same kind of progress as I am.. done all 60 levels and 30 bonus levels.. I don't think I have 60 rainbows yet though lol.  I think the thing with Luna is that you have to play drastically different with her than the others.. but her power is just not strong enough for her levels + her power doesn't adapt well to many other levels.

I do love this game though, it will be my first X1 100% game.. yeah the sooner Microsoft sort out the xbox website to recogonise X1 games the better

With some levels/masters you're better off activating their power early in the level, and with some you're best waiting until near the end - but with Luna I just can't find a good time.
I intend getting 100% on Peggle and Lego Marvel, but Luna may well prevent me getting it on Peggle. I find her levels completely infuriating.

I wouldn't worry about the crashes, launch software is a bloody nightmare to test due to constant changes to hardware and SDKs. Software launched after the launch window will be much more stable.

Have just done a couple of yoga exercises with Wii Fit U and it was pretty painful lol :-[ ;D
