I will keep saying it... Its my favorite 3D Mario. (I just finished Galaxy for the first time two days ago, and I must say that is amazing, I truly understand why everyone loves it.. But I prefer the linear level design on a Mario game)
Goddammit! We were so close of having Mr. Needlemouse dating Madonna.... so close...I guess some things are too perfect and are never meant to happen... (sigh)
Excellent game with satisfying combat and amazing music and artstyle, the only critique I have is that the “we are good cops buddies” setting does not resonate with me at all. (Not to the point of stop playing it, like in sony spiderman, that was cringe worthy) Hoping for a sequel.
I dont like the graphics on the west cover, or the orange everything. But as @Anti-Matter pointed out the japanese one looks amateurish. So west one gets my vote.
I already bought it on the sale. Not a fan of Ubisoft open world games, they seem interesting and I always end up buying them at sales and not playing them. This one seems to not take itself so seriously, so I though to give it a try.
Never was interested in Cyberpunk 2077, I played the Witcher 3 (like 20
Hours hoping I would experience the masterpiece everybody praised and found it really boring) it’s a shame that a game that have a lot of players hyped was release at that state, and I think the way CDProject red dealt with the aftermath of release was “poor” at best. But wasn’t the witcher all buggy too when it released? My experience with it (years after lauch day) was flawless on a technical level. I think CD project red will eventually patch the thing and it will become the “dream game” Sakurai is talking about.
It’s understandable. XBOX is a machine for western people with western tastes. If you are into FPS and Skyrim like RPG’s the XBOX is you machine. I like japanese action games and JRPG so I never thought of buying an XBOX because I know that its library of games (and exclusives, like halo or peter molineaux games) is not appealing to my particular tastes. And I am not even japanese. (Even if game pass is the best thing that happend to videogames in the last years)
I still have this game on my PS3, amazing art and music, but the gameplay gets repetitive really fast (but I must say that I only played it on single player mode, because I have no friends😢). I prefer Double Dragon Neon.
Super Mario 3D land is my favorite 3D Mario. Never played 3D world so I am eagerly waiting to have a new favorite. I love the new “Metal” tunes that are slowly creeping into mario OST. Paper Mario the origami King was filled with them. And “Fury world” looks like its going to give us more of that.
@yuwarite I know, I understand that from a franchise and one developer. All Ubisoft games are copies of themselves, ok, its the ubisoft formula, you can like it or not. It bothers me when it becomes a trend from different franchises and different developers.
@Qwertyninty I agree but most AAA games nowadays are safe bets, they look gorgeous thats for sure, but the gameplay is all the same (most of the more hyped AAA games of the last generation were boring as hell IMO, witcher, Read dead, horizon, tsutshima, watch dogs, assassins creed, Cyberpunk, they are all the same game, they only change the setting and some minor gameplay tweaks, I had more fun playing Animal crossing, or even Paper Mario, and those games are thrash on a technical level if we compare them with the titles I just mentioned) I am Not a Nintendo diehard fan by any means (The only Nintendo consoles I owned were the family game, the 3DS and the switch, and I had every playstation iteration) but this westernization of development of games, this FPS madness over entertainment is hurting the industry. We need more fresh ideas, and I am glad a much less powerful hardware is giving the “big boys” a run for its money.
I am on vacation, so I went to a house by the beach, with my Switch and Hyrule Warriors AOC, which I haven’t touched, because I decided that I wanted to try Paper Mario The Origami King which was sitting in my backlog and fell in love with it. Can’t stop playing it. Of course Monster Hunter rise demo.
The only thing I want in Ring Fit Adventure is a download of the full game, this is one of those games that you will play every day, and having it digital will make it easier to go in train a little and tune out into another game. One of the few games I regret that comes in a cart.
I played the PS3 version to death, got tbe full body on PS4 on release date and I am waiting a tempting sale to justified the Switch version. One of my favorite games. Nobody should miss (and being gay myself I must say I never felt offended by it, nor Persona 5 “controversial” scene for that matter)
So can you feel the Jazz? Or the beautiful Ballet? How about a Tango? Or maybe some Rock'n'Roll We'll bring it all to you And guess what, you signed up for Team A-W-E-S-O-M-E Just say it, you don't need lame, pretty tunes Send BORING back to nowhere Come in for the whole deal, yeah
One particular christmas , (In the early 90). We have a big family reunion over my godfather house. The moment I entered the apartment, my eyes darted towards the NES he had and a little game called, Super Mario 3. Can I play a little? I asked.... after the meal, was the response. Of course I gobbled down a little food as fast as I could so I could leave the table and go to the mushroom kingdom. Next thing I remember hours ad paed and all my relatives were worried, the talking point was ‘He is not right, he does not play with the other kids, (Who had cero interest in the NES and preferred to play with, balls, and...toys.... ) he is obsessed, you should have him checked, was the advice they gave my mother that night’
I always wondered... what is the point of videogame movies? If I wanted to see a story in the universe of a particular game I rather play the games. They always seemed like cash grabs to me. (Especially live action ones)
I am playing Yakuza Kiwami 2. (I intend to play through the whole series, and it’s time consuming) Picked up Horace on the sale, since you people praise it so much and I must say that I am in love with it. Such a fantastic game. (Any game that has Raphael in its OST deserves absolute praise)
I love the monster hunter series, but isn’t it pointless to buy the vanilla version when you know that a “ultimate edition” is gonna be release a year later?
The faces of the ghouls makes the NA/EU a clear winner, besides the japanese one looks generic and too busy for my taste. I concur with the writer that japanese logo is superior to the western one in every way.
I have FE awakening and three houses and haven’t touch those (I must finish Ogre Tactics on PSP first) . So... not for me. And I back the statement “this should have been an NSO game and not a 6 dollars one”
