Re: Soapbox: New Roots - How Pikmin 4 Made My Move Abroad Bloom

That is a hard and jarring move. In general the up and downsides are about the same, there's more freedom and choice here, but there's a lot of negative things as well. I don't know if I could give up living in a coastal town in England for America if I already had that. Depends which coastal town and which place in America I guess.

Dude that era of toys. My sister had Polly Pockets (the tiny type) and my Brother had Mini Mutants as well as one Mighty Max. I played with all of them. Those were great toys. I'm not a fan of piles of plastic junk, but those were really great toys. The day I lost my leonardo was a sad one.

I really appreciate what this game is doing, but it doesn't look fun for me.

This is why we can't realistically have a GTA set in England. If you got caught with a gun, you'd come out of prison and the game would be over.

@-wc- Cops do not carry deadly weapons (guns/knives) in The UK as a general rule. It's such a weird things coming from our culture. Obviously there is still police brutality though, but death is less of an impulse. Wow, you're from Oklahoma? I guess that doesn't surprise me, but it's weird to find out where people are from. I'm from Maine, I can just go buy a handgun right now if I wanted and carry it around in my pocket.

Re: Review: Frogun Encore (Switch) - A Sure-Footed 3D Platforming Throwback

Ugh, clone co-op, and the gameplay looks just as boring as the first one. I don't think the first game looks bad, but it's a game I've watched a lot of gameplay of, instead of just buying it, so that should sort of tell you. Typically if I like the way a game looks I turn it off immediately and then buy the game. I was hoping it was Branch out a bit more with the sequel. I hope I'm wrong though.

Re: Yes, Beyond Good And Evil 2 Is Still In Development

@Blast16 There were like 15 notable flops that generation, that are usually considered to be all time great games at this point. Okami, psychonauts, eternal darkness, etc. All very marketable titles. One of the things that happened with this game, was that someone wrote an article accusing Michel Ancel of being toxic, because he came up in the generation where you work really hard to get your game made. So he quit to go run an animal sanctuary, and that was around the last time I heard any progress for the sequel.

I really don't like this take on puzzle games. I tend to find puzzle games that aren't challenging to be a waste of time and money, and I'm fine that they're there for other people, that's great, and I think people should make games for different levels. All that being said, it is no way an accessibility issue that some puzzle games are difficult, nor is anyone judging you. There are tons of things I'm not good at, but they're just there, they're not hurting me.

Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns Switch Dev Appears To Have Been Revealed

@Uncle_Franklin The really annoying thing was that they removed multiplayer on the 3DS version of Yoshi's wooly world. Meanwhile in crafted world, if you try to play co-op you just get stuck on each other's backs half the time. I don't think it's as bad as you indicated as a game, but it's got a lot of issues, and honestly it's kind of the same issues that DKC returns has. Collectibles feel more like a chore, and if you miss one you have to replay the whole level to get it. Or kill yourself to start over at a checkpoint.
