Only secondarily. I like when it has story but it is very simple and lets you kinda fill in the blanks. People say botw/totk are really weak in the story dept, I think they actually went too far with it. I like it simple. Not Mario simple, but simple
I’ve thought about this a lot. I DO NOT want another 64 clone. It’s done. No more please. I am full. Please for the love of god, give us some new story beats, new characters, the whole nine yards.
But more than that, I want a Star Fox game that just feels freer. This doesn’t necessarily mean full on open world, but give me some flexibility. Let me go off rails and explore a bit more. Let me play as other characters. Give me other cool stuff to do instead of just the missions. Come through with the next biggest SF game that stands on its own two feet
One thing is still don’t understand - why are people online so against the idea of a smash movie? There were moments in galaxy where I thought, good lord smash would be incredible on the big screen.
While I do agree with critics that it is primarily nostalgia slop - it was an absolute blast. Wasn’t bored a single second. Especially the last half hour or so, was like a roller coaster ride. It was cringe sure, but far less so than the original. The needle drops were fewer and more tasteful. Overall was just really fun
Yeah switch 2 editions aren’t gonna cut it as paid add ons. This is why Nintendo is having a hard time shaking the narrative that they are nickel and diming consumers
I’m about halfway through it so far and I can easily say a 9 or a 10. It is the best one since the series was somewhat reinvented with 7, and that’s saying a lot. Just mashing the styles of first person and third person is such a stroke of brilliance. So many insane things happen in this game, I cannot put it down
Insane that it’s not 60fps on switch 2, and that all the Zelda and Splatoon stuff is locked behind amiibo purchases, but I’ll probably check it out a few times
Needs a big 3d Mario, Zelda, smash or animal crossing. I know stuff takes time blah blah but that’s the reality. Can’t just get by on Mario kart and dk. Which are fantastic games imo, but these are not system sellers for people who aren’t already super into Nintendo.
Yea it really shows in the final product. Just finished it today. It has a few high highs and it’s really polished, good visuals etc, but it was just so dull. The number of criticisms is actually so high, I just think it’s a miracle they even got this game shippable.
Only past the first few areas but so far I think like an 8? It’s absolutely stunning aesthetically speaking. And for the most part very polished gameplay wise.
Gotta say though, that desert is a total momentum killer. Really comes across as being shoved in because they couldn’t have this game in development another year or two. I fear it’s going to drag this game down even further later on.
I don’t even mind the npc’s! Thought they would ruin it, but it’s that desert. Psychic stuff feels a little clunky but not too bad.
@RiasGremory k but the npc’s here are definitely way more engaged in the actual gameplay rather than just cutscenes and occasional pop ins or whatever. I could see like, the robot guy dying maybe
@BTB20 great genre. But I am 100% confident this game will come out and be forgotten immediately. Feel free to come back later and tell me I’m wrong when it comes out.
