I tried the demo with high expectations (still missing my Railroad Tycoon hit) and this is NOT the same 😂 It was super clunky to play, the shadows annoyed me (the constantly moving jaggies), I don’t think this is for me.
I’m also not worried about the resolution but the lighting is amazing, and I’d guess you need a decent resolution to keep the shadows looking decent. I love the extra depth it brings.
This just confuses me more! Do I go back to Stardew again (it’s been a couple of years), or try SoS or RF? Harvest Moon, A Wonderful Life was the highlight for me back in the day and SV is amazing! I guess it’s best to just try one, everyone has their own POV
@rushiosan if it helps, I bought the base at full price, while the bundle (which i didn’t know existed) was cheaper :/ And Nintendo didn’t respond to emails
ACNH was my biggest gaming disappointment this year, I think I need goals Is Origami King really worth it? So many mixed reviews (I’ve played Bug Fables, was decent). I have a voucher burning a hole in my pocket
@ToadBrigade I tried one years ago, everyone just stood there waiting to be killed, weird/boring experience. I’d also welcome a demo to see if they are any better nowadays.
I really love the Pikmin series and do feel a bit hard done by with this one. I have it on the shelf for my WiiU, doesn’t make sense to pay again. I’d rather like a 4th please
@Tandy255 I did this with Dead Cells and IMO it absolutely is their fault. Offers should be made clear when purchasing, it’s too easy to miss things. The base game is amazing at least.
They also seem to prefer to argue over a few euros than focus on customer service, it’s amazing.
Meh. Totally agree with the above, movement looks weird, costumes look like one-time-use. Nothing that piques my interest so far... I’ll go back to Dead Cells (addicted!) until I hear otherwise
Just played this beginning to end in one sitting (about 2 hours) and totally loved every second! So many lovely little touches, easily one of my favourite games, really nice! Want to do it all again now

Re: Global Sales Data Suggests Balan Wonderworld Has Massively Flopped
Good. I only tried the demo and it was a dreadful waste of time. Waste of time and money for all involved I suspect!

I love the extra depth it brings.
Re: A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism Is Scheduled To Arrive This Week On Switch
Maybe after we try the demo we will see amazing value?
Re: A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism Is Scheduled To Arrive This Week On Switch
‘If that seems a bit steep’
If? 😂
Shame as in principal it sounds great! Totally trying the demo and then not buying it for that money...
Re: Nintendo Celebrates MAR10 Day 2021 With Themed Switch Sale (North America)
@Giygas_95 I found it pretty ‘meh’, which was a shame as some of the previous titles were fantastic.

Re: Review: Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection - A Masochistic Medieval Marvel
I was so bad at this game back in the day, I was convinced it was just buggy and impossible to beat
Re: Nintendo Reveals Splatoon 3, Coming To Switch In 2022

@ReWane unfortunately, I’m certain you are right :/
Re: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered Receives Its Very First Patch
@ReWane I really doubt EA care but just incase (I shouldn’t have bought an EA game, it’s always the same buggy crap):

Amazing
Wuppo looks ace!
Oddly, I’ve missed playing Descent too, I’ll have to check out Sublevel Zero.
Loads of these games look worth a bit of time, nice one!

Just to bring sadness?
I spent soooooo much time with GX, it was amazing

@tourjeff YES! That and Blur:)
Re: Stardew Valley's "Very Big" 1.5 Update Is Almost Ready For Release
This is so hard to go back to after a couple of years. The controls are crazy convoluted :/
I’m thinking of kicking off a new game...
Re: Poll: Pikmin 3 Deluxe Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
Nope, might fire up the WiiU so I don’t feel like I’m missing out though
I wonder if it still works... just put it on charge, time will tell!
Re: Rumour: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity May Be Getting A Playable Demo
@ToadBrigade I tried one years ago, everyone just stood there waiting to be killed, weird/boring experience.
I’d also welcome a demo to see if they are any better nowadays.

@Tykut I enjoyed Touryst
Re: Mini Review: Space Crew - Bomber Crew's Sequel Takes Us To The Future
Paying for Bomber Crew was the first time I felt like I wasted money on a Switch game, this sounds like too much of the clunky same.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 10th)
Mario Galaxy and Dead Cells, it’s not a weekend without a bit of Dead Cells
Re: Hands On: Pikmin 3 Deluxe - This Wii U Classic Is Shaping Up Well On Switch
I really love the Pikmin series and do feel a bit hard done by with this one. I have it on the shelf for my WiiU, doesn’t make sense to pay again.
I’d rather like a 4th please
Re: Hands On: Pikmin 3 Deluxe - This Wii U Classic Is Shaping Up Well On Switch
@Brady1138 That doesn’t work anymore?! Thar was a super useful tactic...
Re: Review: Ys Origin - An Awesomely Accessible And Amiable Action RPG

Now I feel like a pro
Re: Review: Ys Origin - An Awesomely Accessible And Amiable Action RPG
It’s nice you tried to help but I still can’t figure out how to say it.
How does one say ‘eese’?
Is it like ‘ease’ or ‘easy’ or something else?!
Re: 'Shadow Puppet' Platformer Projection: First Light Illuminates Switch Today

30 hours overall, 48 runs and 2 wins, lol.
Re: Talking Point: Does Nintendo Have A Refund Problem?
@Tandy255 I did this with Dead Cells and IMO it absolutely is their fault. Offers should be made clear when purchasing, it’s too easy to miss things.
The base game is amazing at least.

Re: Sonic Creators Bring Their New Game Balan Wonderworld To The Nintendo Switch Next March
Meh. Totally agree with the above, movement looks weird, costumes look like one-time-use. Nothing that piques my interest so far...
I’ll go back to Dead Cells (addicted!) until I hear otherwise
Re: Poll: What's The Best 3D Mario Game?
I love them all
I voted but it feels like it doesn’t matter, every single one was totally enjoyable (/frustrating).
(Also, from a comment above, I tried A Hat in Time too but didn’t really click with it, seems like they had no budget?)
Re: Review: A Short Hike - A Landmark Game For All Ages
