@VoidofLight my bad, didn’t realize my impression and opinion of the game were wrong. Thank you for your superior opinion

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.

I feel embarrassed to say this….

But…

Please Limited Run, release this game with the cool replica gun you had on the PS5 collectors edition.

Remember the Alarmo…

@canaryfarmer

Shadows of Chernobyl really sets the tone and story.
Call of Pripyat is easily the best, good open world and memorable characters
Clear Sky is the weakest… clearly inspired by team based shotters.

I’d probably buy Call of Pripyat. Then if you like it… Shadows of Chernobyl.

Great! I’ve played all 3 and LOVE THEM.

But… even on the Xbox release, years after they originally came out… they were still a buggy mess…

Beat the first rift! About 1.5 hours in. I think it’s a 7 out of 10.

It’s charming and unique. Although I’m not sure I think the echo ability is strong enough to warrant an entire game based around it.

The game also kinda has a been there, done that feel.

Could just be me though… I’ve played every Zelda.

I’ll be going to BURNING MAN!!! ….i mean playing the Grand Festival

Just played through the entire trilogy on Xbox! Love this games… but they are still a buggy mess. I also can’t imagine trying to read the tiny text handheld…
Regardless… I’d love a cartridge with the trilogy on it. Looking forward to Heart of Chornobyl

I remember just being disappointed “My Sims” wasn’t “The Sims” back when it came out

I’m part of the problem…. I ordered one.

LRG did a good job on this one, LOVE the flag, medal, tank, and book cover.

But man… do we need a plush? I’m a 37 year old man child.

I also wish LRG would up their card board quality game. The thickness isn’t where it needs to be

Nice! I really enjoyed Lost in Random (I beat it… which means something)

I’m cool with the rogue lite aspect….

But… the board game stuff and camera perspective has me worried.

Dave the Diver felt like it overstayed its welcome, I clocked in at over 25 hours and was pretty burn out…

But time cures all and these DLC look pretty cool! I’ve yet to visit Godzilla!

…what’s the deal with the Balatro DLC? It looks like you’re just playing Balatro in DtD

Looks cool! But boy… price of admission is way to high

Kinda funny this wasn’t a “Boss Fight Book”

I love me some Red Art Games. So yeah… my days go stolen for the 10th time. Thanks US DoD, AT&T, and Target. More reason to keep my identity monitoring services.

Wow, seems to borrow a little too much inspiration…

Persona 5 Táctica is waaaaay too high on this list. Easily the worst one. The final world feels like an unfinished afterthought!

Holy moly. This has to be the most overpriced collectors edition I’ve ever seen.

…you only get acrylic figures? I mean the outer box is cool…but even if it was 50% off I’d still have to think about it

It’d be nice to get some Nintendo exclusives at Summer Game Fest. It’s a fun dopamine hit when you can plan what to play on ALL of your consoles in a short time period. Variety is the spice of life!

Btw what’s with all this negativity towards Geoff? We wouldn’t have an E3 fill in or a Game Awards without him

With this logic, Breath of the Wild will be considered retro in 3 years

Just started chapter 6 on Dave the Diver,

Rounding up all the last eggs in Animal Well

And started Act 6 in Diablo 4.

Hopefully finishing these games this week!

I think it’s pretty cool… but who wants to display this and has the room for it?

Just rolled credits on Animal Well! A solid 6 hours. Love games when they end… but don’t.

The first time you jump from the sky through a chasm into the depths.

Wish Dark Forces had a deeper discount

How about some of that Dragon Quest 3 remake?

Supported the kickstarter in 2018!

….completely forgot about this.

I remember being blown away by Rise of the Triad in 5th grade. God mode… holy moly. And if you gibbed someone their eyeball fell across the screen?!? lol good times

Picked up the STALKER trilogy on Xbox, so I’ve been playing through the excellent (and extremely janky) Shadow of Chernobyl.

On the Switch I’m enjoying Read Only Memories 2064 and Princess Peach Showtime

I’ve always wanted to visit the dungeon in Moero Crystal H

Well it seems he was a repeat offender. 10 times?!? The worst part seems to be the lack of respect for his superiors telling him to stop.

At least he wasn’t sitting in his patrol car wasting tax dollars.

Honestly it doesn’t seem too bad if he was just answering phones and playing when it was quiet (a quick hit of the home button)

Finally jumped back into Tears of the Kingdom after taking a 6 month break (harder than I thought it’d be, I did put in 60 hours before)

Also 7 hours into the delightful “Cult of the Lamb”

And limited Run will ship my copy in 3 years

Maybe I’m in the minority… but I think this game is just… pretty good.

Love Ollie, but it’s not a contender for Game of the Year or even close!

I’m about 5 hours in and it’s a fun, but too luck based rogue lite.

The graphics are not great, it’s hard to tell the difference between spades and clubs in handheld.

The theme doesn’t quite stick the landing. It’s supposed to be a sinister haunted version of 5 card stud but never really goes through with it. Maybe some more music changes, screen changes, or that main joker card playing more of a narrator role would remedy that.

The game NEEDS a plot. Why am I playing these poker hands to beat point thresholds?

Overall… it’s fun. Fun as in I’ll play an a round while on the toilet or as an appetizer before I dig into my real game for the night.

…But that’s as far as it goes.

Or maybe Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball

No love for Dillon’s Rolling Western?!

Made it to the third kingdom in Persona 5 Tactica! Kinda losing steam though

Other than that I’m about three hours into The Last Campfire

Why were so many comments censored on this article?

@Troopage Thsnks for the resume update, Kit.

Ok 1,900 people fired does look bad… but let’s not forget there was just a merger. So combining both companies means many redundant positions!

These people who are being layed off are most likely Human Resources, Finance, and in house Legal.

Kit and Krista were never in the inner circle… they are just PR people…

People really don’t give Game Stop enough credit! (That’s a pun)

But after the eBay final value fee, shipping charges, and the cost of buying packaging… you get about the same monetary value at GameStop.

…AND GameStop buys all your shovelware that would never sell on eBay.

Just saying.

Just finished Super Mario Wonder!

Finally went back to Starfield and finished the UC Vanguard quest line (which was brilliant)

Other than that I’m a few hours into “For the Vast Future”

Cool! It’s really just Part 1 and Part 2.

Transfer of data can be accomplished with a password

I am always over extended!

Currently focusing on FAR Changing Tides.

I’ve also got a few hours into Tears of the Kingdom, Starfield, and Persona 5 Tactica

I just want Grand Theft Auto 5 and Alpha Protocol. Seems reasonable to me!

Just wrapped up the Phantom Liberty expansion of Cyberpunk, it was great.

Now it’s time to wrap up Super Mario Wonder, Tears of the Kingdom, and Sonic Superstars!
