@BeefsoundMagnus Honestly, it shot itself in the foot. I love pikmin 3 to death but the $60 price point for what seemed to be a lazy port with co-op mode (which is honestly incredible) and a few hours of extra content just seemed greedy.
@WiltonRoots To be fair, he's not wrong. Why shouldn't someone express their concerns when it comes to a lazy ($60) port. Shoot Bayonetta one and two (subjectively better games) were $20 on release. He has just as much right to say to express his disappointment as you are to express your opinion on the game as well.
@JokerCK The difference is that people can tell the difference between a real life setting and a fictional 3d animation. It's funny and not offensive because no real women were violated in any capacity. It's more funny because nobody would do this in real life. Just because I brutally murder someone in a video game doesn't mean that it's offensive.
@Friendly from someone who played the handheld games before the main line series. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the first two now. They have aged pretty poorly, the second one is alright but still clunky. I would reccommend playing Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance first then go from there. Which it makes sense to start with Birth by sleep since that is technically the first game.
Honestly, I get the appeal with the disney characters but I'd just play Ys 8 if you want a more modern polished action RPG.
@Roam85 it's very consumer friendly, you pay for a bit of extra content for a charity. That's a great and selfless thing for a company to do. Nintendo is greedy tho, they wouldn't even do something as small as that.
@RazumikhinPG I mean you're more than welcome to just go to reddit if you want content categorized. On Nintendolife's website Nintendolife can report on any news Nintendolife wants.
@DoktorTotenKopf yeah it's terrible a decent free to play game comes along and they are giving you a totally optional aspect to make some money. Shame on them.
@GoldenSunRM AGREED! It's honestly criminal that they didn't do that. Considering they made different variations of game and watch, and all characters with variations got different amiibos. Like Bayo, Cloud, and Corrin
@invictus4000 Usually they have their games go to PC too. However, it was a good business move. I'm thinking that I might buy an Xbox for gamepasss specifically. Considering they put brand new games on it now a days I might as well.
@Henmii I hated the old ones but fell in love with world. Def worth a shot in my books. Considering MHW is capcoms best seller by a long shot I think they are going to stick with that formula.
@Daniel36 Well that's where you should give MHW a shot considering it's such a major departure. You can also get the base game at an extremely low price point. In addition it looks wayyyy better than the old ones.
@mrmememan Shoot I think that makes Sony more consumer friendly to their own install base. Shoot forking over a ton of money so people that play their systems have a benefit. Sure it screws over everyone else but I don't think they care about fans of other consoles.
@TheFullAndy Yeah I get what you're saying, Doom Eternal is much different than 2016. People that prefer more of a focused shooter 2016 is def more attractive. For such an extensive change it makes sense if you prefer the other one. The new one def makes you use the whole arsenal and every nook and cranny.
I prefer faster games anyway, so Doom Eternal was a breath of fresh air for me. I personally don't think either or is objectively worse, just preference plays a huge piece in that one.
I hate many games but can acknowledge the quality. Octopath, Captain Toad, Tales of Vesperia, and Last of Us part 2 are all great examples of games that I loath but know they are built with plenty of quality.
@TheFullAndy Yes I 100% couldn't get behind Abby. I loathed every second I played as her, from the rat king to lev. Hated everything that wasn't Ellie, and wasn't a fan of the ending as they should have gave us a choice to kill her or not.
Honestly, the Marauder did slow things to a halt but he was far from game breaking. But shoot the archvile went down in one crucible charge. Shoot most of the stuff you're mentioning kinda comes down to adapting and overcoming which was the goal from the developers. I mean its kinda like complaining about sekiro because of the difficulty which can be negated slightly when using specific tools. It's different but not objectively bad. Again the spaceship was for the most part optional, but shoot playing doom 1 and 2 as unlockables was hot for that game.
Last of us 2 was an amazing game, but I hated it personally. Games can objectively be good or bad, they can also be rated subjectively.
@TheFullAndy How? If anything it forced you to used different weapons, it was much faster, the environments were much more varied, and the moment to moment gameplay was much more engaging with the addition of platforming and light puzzles. I'd argue doom 2016 was braindead compared to eternal. Which in some interviews with Hugo Martin the plan was to force you to use the whole arsenal and not just one weapon.
It's cool if you personally don't like it as it is different, but it's hardly worse from an objective point of view.
@gameboy1975 I don't care about whether it's your opinion or not. Very few games are able to match it's quality and unfortunately you aren't able to bring up any recently that have matched it's quality.
Then resort to spamming emoji's when I ask you to bring up recent games that have been on par with the game's quality. What are you 5?
@gameboy1975 way to skirt out of the conversation. Since you obviously cant give any examples on games that are on the same level only proves that the game is on the higher tier of quality games. You may not agree but there are very little games that match it's quality.
The art direction, gameplay, and execution is masterclass. I'm just not some Uber priss with my games to realize an amazing game when we have one. I've seen this movie before when we have some elitist gamer that thinks that unless the game is some blockbuster level story and with an immersive/new industry standard gameplay it can't be master class.
Considering the only single player games that hold a candle to it on the switch is BOTW and Odessey I'd say that's master class
@gameboy1975 def master class. The only other game that could even go toe to toe with it is doom eternal. Don't know what your definition of master class is but ghost is probably the best game to come out in over a year
@dugan Well the install base was miniscule on the wii u and mario kart, mario party, Mario, Zelda, and smash bros are generally the system sellers for Nintendo. Mario Kart's attach rate is ridiculous for any system nintendo sells.
@Zuljaras Have you played Ghost of Tsushima yet? It's a master class in gaming. We're hyping up a game that's not even out yet. Sure CD project Red is a great studio but just because they're making a game doesn't invalidate the great games that are already out.
@BenAV I would like a dedicated console experience to improve the performance on some of the switch games. I would like the switch to have both a handheld and a dedicated console. The vita did a great job with the relationship of the ps3 and ps4 and I think that if the switch had a relationship like that with a dedicated home console itd be a massive success.
@Zeldafan79 Honestly, can you blame them? The switch is underpowered and Capcom has been pushing the envelope with many of their new offerings. Why sell themselves short? I personally would like a monster hunter game developed for the switch but unfortunately (for switch owners) Capcom has been pushing the limits for their games recently.

Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing Retakes Second, But Pikmin 3 Sees Disappointing Drop
