So far, I’m unimpressed but maybe it needs a little longer. The controls are weird (the rotate is annoying) and it doesn’t seem all that interesting to play yet.
@noutBr It kind of does but it’s weirdly done, more of a trade off between power and potential unwanted slice/hook. I also miss what seems like the right way
@thaimbomb I’m sure they used a ton of research to decide.
It doesn’t help TV gamers much but I’d bet on it selling well. I play docked and handheld, definitely tempted but only if I find 350 down the back of the sofa.
@BEEFHAMMA I put a couple of hours into it but didn’t return yet, probably never will. First game I’ve pre-ordered in years too, serves me right 😂 Back to Pikmin 3, again! (Loads better)
I’m a bit into this now, the second course and still disappointed.
There are some terrible design decisions IMO. It’s too easy to screw up and not be able to undo it. My Mii can’t climb cliffs so I have to walk the long way. Maybe this is why most real courses don’t have cliffs? 😅 There isn’t really time to set up a shot, just hit and run. Pretty much zero skill needed. Even if you want to you’ll remain uninformed about the ball’s trajectory. I have to wait for the CPU to finish their course and can’t skip it? I have to walk to my bed rather than just ‘be’ there? The overworld is merely OK. It’s boring and it’s possible to choose a path that looks right but isn’t. It’s all so unnecessary. I hate that the camera moves in fixed increments and isn’t free like any other game I’ve played in a decade (?).

Re: Buy Pokémon Brilliant Diamond Or Shining Pearl Early To Receive A Special Manaphy Egg
Agreed, this is much better than risking a pre-order

So far, I’m unimpressed but maybe it needs a little longer.

Re: Monster Hunter's New 3D Anime Movie Is Now Streaming On Netflix
@Toy_Link the trailer looks like a PS2 cut-scene too, maybe that what they were going for?
(For some misguided reason).
I’ll stick to Castlevania

Re: Surprise! Mario Golf: Super Rush Is Getting A New Character, Course And More In Free Update

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 31st)
I started Talos Principle for the first time, after picking it up ages ago with a discount.

I never knew there was a story…

Re: Nintendo Employee Tells Fans To Stick With The Current Switch, If They're Not "Digging" The OLED Screen
@thaimbomb I’m sure they used a ton of research to decide.
It doesn’t help TV gamers much but I’d bet on it selling well. I play docked and handheld, definitely tempted but only if I find 350 down the back of the sofa.
Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch OLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting
This is going to sell out soooo quickly, I don’t know if I’ll even try until 2022…
Re: Rumour: Please Let This Super Monkey Ball amiibo Be Real
I don’t need more plastic tat, but I do need monkey target on Switch
Re: Review: Mario Golf: Super Rush - A Solid Swing, But Par For The Course
@BEEFHAMMA I put a couple of hours into it but didn’t return yet, probably never will.
First game I’ve pre-ordered in years too, serves me right 😂
Back to Pikmin 3, again! (Loads better)

@Bearzilla823 but Hot Shots was waaaaay better. I loved that game, played it to death

I’d give it a 5/10 so far. Totally average.

Re: Anniversary: The Nintendo 64 Launched 25 Years Ago Today
I remember having to ask my Mum to drive us to a shop to get one. The closest was about an hours drive.
We saved up for AGES.
Then when we got home it didn’t work and we had to go back to get a replacement.
Amazingly she agreed to take us the same day
Then we could finally boot up Mario 64 and play with his face.

@Octane That would make me the happiest
Re: Talking Point: Do You Replay Games?
I think I have only ever replayed a few games, three Zelda’s (OoT, BotW and WW).
Then a few older games, Wave Race and Pilotwings for sure.
I can’t think of anything else!
