Re: Review: Kirby Star Allies (Switch)

Dialed back exploration elements is a real disappointment. The other games, save for some later stage bosses, were too easy and the exploration kept it interesting.

Also, only 30fps? The demo felt sluggish and awful. I was hoping the full release would have a bump.

Not buying.

Re: Soapbox: Is Super Mario Odyssey the Best Mario Game Ever?

Mommar

Short answer, no. Long, I don't have time to list but a few I can think of: Too much grinding, for everything. No real sense of direction. Too many repeat events. How many times do I have to keep racing those stupid Koopas? Most worlds weren't constructed to take advantage of Mario's vertical abilities and were largely flat except for bonus levels through various doors and they weren't very long or very interesting. Final few "Challenge" levels were just reuses of previous levels designed to be done with cappy but without him, and not that fun. At least the brutal challenge levels in Sunshine when you were stripped of F.L.O.O.D. were wholly new and designed to test your platforming mettle.

@KeeperBvK Yes, it plays better in every way. the only people who love Streets of Rage 2 were kids who only owned a Genesis and had to convince themselves it was better. It was not, it doesn't have as good play control even if the mechanics are more complex and the settings/characters are boring.

@OorWullie Actually these were not the best in their genre. Turtles In Time and the Aliens vs Predator Arcade games had far more broad play mechanics. There was even some street fighter style fighting mechanics in AvP.

@Captain_Gonru I'm not sure it sold out by Friday night. None of the workers in any of the stores between Target, Walmart or Toys R Us had any knowledge of the game coming to Switch nor could they bring it up in the computers for anything but 3DS.

Re: NSFW: Wolfenstein II's Launch Trailer Shows The Many Ways To Skin A Nazi

@MarcelRguez How is it self-own? They're all called Nazis, even McCain ten years ago was called a Nazi. They had Adolf Hitler wearing a McCain campaign pin on Family Guy way back in 2007. They're always called Nazis. Then the Trump slogan is used in reverse and they aren't supposed to think that isn't a slight from an industry that is very left leaning? I fail to see how that's self-owning in any way. You clearly don't like Trump, I think you're letting that view cloud your view of the situation. If there was some Chinese infiltrstion game with a slogan like makemaofeeltheburn I'm quite sure you'd see the anti-Bernie parallel.

Re: Review: Pankapu (Switch eShop)

Mommar

@bluesdance The review is accurate. It's fun enough but nothing to write home about, a 7 is precisely where I would put it. And whoever says it's full of bugs should probably either redownload the game or contact Nintendo about a problem with their system because it runs fine.

Re: Stern Pinball Arcade Will Test Your Flipping Skills On Switch This December

Mommar

@samuelvictor It won't really be the same, these are designed to play like a real pinball table. Zen regularly does things that can't actually work in reality, they're literally fantasy tables. Plus their physics are floaty and never feels like a real game of pinball. Hopefully this game will do a better job, like the old Pinball Hall of Fame games did, handling the physics of what a real table feels like.
