Re: Poll: Luigi's Mansion 3 Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?

Rebusmind

@Bizzyb Mainly RPGs, but here's the full list: Ni No Kuni, Tales of Vesperia, Battle Chasers, Darksiders, Link's Awakening (played through it in a few days and traded it online for Dragon Quest 11), Pokemon Let's Go Evoli, Ghostbusters, Final Fantasy XII (which I accidentally bought twice...).
Most were pretty cheap, but still I should take a break. ^^

Re: GameMaker Studio 2 Comes To Nintendo Switch

Rebusmind

I think the barrier to actually be able to use this functionality will be pretty high. When I last talked to the Game Maker developers, they said it will cost several $1000. This will likely keep most smaller projects away from the Switch, but we'll have to see how much it is in the end.

Re: Review: Mercenaries Saga Chronicles (Switch eShop)

Impulse-bought it today and regretted it after five minutes. The gameplay is alright, but the implementation is very cheap. In cutscenes characters move very choppy and as it seems there's nothing else apart from Watching Cutscene -> Battle -> Repeat.

Re: Review: Poi: Explorer Edition (Switch)

Rebusmind

Wanted to buy it as my Mario Odyssey copy didn't arrive, but
a) I can't find it on the German eShop and
b) 30€ is just too much. I would have paid 15€ because I'm craving for a fun platformer. The funny thing is I'm not sure I need this game anymore after Mario Odyssey has arrived.

Re: SteamWorld Dig 2 Has Had the Biggest Launch in the IP's History

Rebusmind

Finished it in 6 hours and I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed that it was over so quickly. The game could have had more segments where exploring and finding secrets was encouraged a little more. As it is right now I followed the story most of the time, which was fun, but now I feel I beat the game before getting my money's worth. :/

Re: Review: RPG Maker Fes (3DS)

Rebusmind

I made my first games in RPG Maker 2003 and XP (so many years ago!) and now look where I am: living the indie dream by putting games on many platforms (including consoles very soon) and not having a dime in my pocket!
Thank you, RPG Maker...

Re: Guide: Become a Pro ARMS Fighter with these 8 Great Techniques & Tips

Rebusmind

I've just changed my main from Ninjara to Min Min, as her abilities allow some cool strategies (I'm currently going with an ice glove on the left and keep it charged all the time).
I'm really trying to unlearn to jump all the time when someone strikes. Dodging is the better option most of the time (jumping is now reserved for emergencies). Also, what most people don't realize is that you should use your arms constantly even if you are out of reach and planning a strategy, as every punch fills up your rush meter. Getting one more rush than your opponent can turn the tide in a battle.

Re: Review: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero (Switch eShop)

Rebusmind

I have to say that I didn't enjoy the game as much as the reviewer. Somehow the design felt off to me. The visual design is awesome, but the rest felt much less ambitious. One example for that is that you have all those magic spells which you can upgrade, but what for? I bought my first spell when I had almost finished the game. For the longest time I didn't even know what the magic bar was for. When I finally got spells, I never used them as combat is very simple and most of the time I could even run into enemies and whip them to death, taking some damage, as the healing dance made the game way too easy.
I really wanted to like this game, but in the end it was pretty disappointing.
P.S. On a side note: this is the first game that made me set my Switch from German to English, as the German translation was aweful.
