Played this guy when it came out, super charming! But easy to lose direction with what you’re supposed to be doing… felt tedious. Remember it as being an “okay” game
Complain all you want about Strictly Limited… but I have an outstanding order of the second Switch Triple pack from First Press Games… I ordered it December 13th, 2019. I’ve been waiting 5 years, 2 months, and 7 days…
Played System Shock 2 when I was in 6th grade. The zombies genuinely scared the crap out of me…. I also couldn’t grasp my mind around the inventory RPG mechanics. lol ah, the year 2000.
I would like to defend my choice to vote for the NA cover!
It’s much cleaner and more focused. It also conforms to the set photography rules of symmetry, and contrast, easily guiding the viewers eyes to the focal points.
Yeeeeesh. I have no clue. I was pretty hard on 3. I backed the original kickstarter… I remember being annoyed I had to make money in the casino to continue the story… and the finale made no sense… but. Shenmue 3 has a place in my heart and id give it a second chance
As a HUGE Club Nintendo supporter… I love this book. I went through thinking there’s no way he’s going to have ALL the items (the Russian DSi sock for instance) but yep, he passed my test.
As Ollie said though… I would’ve liked a few more pictures of particular items. (Where’s the cool box the US Mario Statue of the Platinum rewards came in?) (maybe some pics of the “Tenbillion” outside its box)
It could have a larger description of some items and a mention of the year end rewards for greater loyalty meant (gold vs platinum)
It’s definitely high end and sits proudly on my shelf
Wowza! That’s not what I wanted to see this morning!
I really enjoyed Goodboy Galaxy on the Evercade (even though it wouldn’t save properly) and LOVE First Press Games products (although I’m still waiting 3+ years to get some stuff yeeesh)
I wonder when I’ll get a message from First Press? (I preordered)
Currently trying to finish the Starfield DLC “Shattered Space” before STALKER 2 drops on Nov 20th.
I’ve also committed the cardinal sin of playing too many long RPG’s at the same time… got Metaphor Refantazio, Brothership, and Trails in the Sky SC going at the same time…
Im about 2.5 hours in, just finished a second island… so far its pretty average (4 out of 10)
The controls feel like they were designed for the D- Pad. Movement feels very “right angle “ and not fluid.
The enemy encounters take far too load. The early enemy attacks seem to be waaaay to fast. The level up screen feels choppy like it’s having trouble loading.
The story introduction is a tape slap. Honestly probably not that important in Mario and Luigi games.
During the cut scenes… they cheaped out and starting showing only still frames. The sound doesn’t hit comedically like it should, for example when Luigi got pinched by a crab the comedic emphasis wasn’t there…
The islands don’t have any substance. I ran through the second one in 30 minutes and felt underwhelmed.
In short this game needed about 6 more months of polish. Classic example of end of system holiday rush job.

Still plugging away at STALKER 2. Patch 1.5 just came out… what an improvement!
Other than that… Mario Kart World and Raidou on the Switch 2

Re: Stunning 'Animal Well: Design Works' Book Announced By Lost In Cult

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Trailer Confirms Starters And Mega Evolutions, Coming Late 2025
I’m surprised everyone loves it…
Personally, don’t know what I was expecting… but I wanted a game that felt, fresh.
ZA seems… stale.

The last comment.
Re: Talking Point: Did All The Switch 2 Leaks 'Damage' Nintendo Or The Console's Reveal?
95% of nintendos consumer base never even saw the leaks
Re: Nintendo's Share Price Dips Following Its Big Switch 2 Reveal
Well… psychology of the stock market…
People bought pre reveal and were always going to sell at the peak (presumably the reveal)
So it makes sense to see a “dip” after the reveal as traders try to make a quick buck selling their shares.
Re: The Adorable 'Lil Gator Game' Is Getting A "Huge" Expansion
Played through Lil Gator and really enjoyed it. The story fell flat for me and a little too much dialogue, but the exploration was really fun!
Putting everyone underground seems like a mistake though… the best parts of the original were climbing and gliding everywhere!

Nice! I didn’t even know that was in development.
I also just got an email that my citizen sleeper artbook and actual tabletop game shipped… coincidence?
Re: Ubisoft Closes Two Studios And Will Reportedly Lay Off Hundreds Of Employees
This is exceptionally poor journalism. Way to capitalize on the click bait while leaving out any real details.
Ubisoft is a huge company of 45 studios and roughly 21,000 employees.
The San Francisco office works primarily on Rocksmith+, South Park, and XDefiant.
The Osaka office works with the Smurfs, CSI, Gravity Falls, and Rocksmith+.
Rocksmith+ was released in 2022 and is a HUGE FLOP. overwhelming negative reviews and a subscription based service.
XDefiant was released in May 2024 and is an arena shooter… very similar to Concord. It was never released on Steam.
Shutting down these studios seems like a smart thing to do.
