@AtlanteanMan I think they meant the new movies for comix zone and Space channel 5, Space channel 5 movie is hype tbh. I want to see what bat whack insane plot they come up with. I hope there's some good dancing in that one.
@Rykdrew I see. My opinion is that the casuals will get attracted later, when updates add something trendy. No harm in looking at it later when something genuinely cool happens. Having one thing like that at launch besides tricolour turf wars, which is currently locked behind an event, would be lovely. I think that they're hiding their hand with story stuff, but not anything super-duper amazing. I think this is bad marketing because their methods feel similar to NEO:The world ends with you, where the fans were meant to carry the game's sales by word of mouth. Splatoon 2 is a snapshot of what the game was right now, and currently Splatoon 3 is close to that snapshot… If Splatoon 3 does not shift away from 2 with time. I am not getting Splatoon 4. I barely remember Splatoon 2's updates, so perhaps that's a bad sign, but I was a teenager with a ton going on then, so I don't really know for certain.
Mario party, it would benefit from updates, but not necessarily live service stuff. splatoon doesn't need live service things to get it's updates so no way.
My two cents... these kinds of games don't need waypoints or resident trackers as long as the island isn't absurdly huge. The ability to remember and navigate areas is a skill necessary to fully enjoy this game. 8/10 with that con removed.
In my opinion if an artist has a bunch of irritated hate-fans, double down on what they hate. Including art styles or functions. I'm interested in Monkey Island now but for the wrong reasons, being interested because other people hate it feels wrong to me.
@Desrever Callie and Marie were like a fun gag in story mode. Pearl and Marina have more history and personal connections to learn about. Your "Profile Picture" is one I like to see and I appreciate it. I thought about what to say harder because I wanted an excuse to tell you that I admire your profile picture.
@sixrings all range mode could take some inspiration from command and let you draw your own rails and let the player deviate infinitely vertically and limited to the camera horizontally. the wii u gamepad was a perfect opportunity to try something like this. I don't think they thought of anything like this.
@Donutsavant I think Tokita is semi serious about the passionate development team, I assume that that at first the team made extra sprites for the boss and party animations, they got done quickly, and Tokita was like "Can we extend this to everything else?" and it became a standard.
@sixrings All Range, Free Range Flying Chicken, Drone, and Wolfen battles were all headaches to deal with, The on rails segments though... It's a shame they're locked behind the other ways to play.
I think Starlink looks initially fun, Zero was fun to control at times, but there were a couple missions where the objective felt impossible (Wolfen space battle, Drone sneaking), and others where the multitasking gave me motion sickness. Pilots need training to actually fly, how do you expect me not to get sick with the gamepad. Guard I haven't really seen beyond the occult gamexplain vid. Assualt, Adventure, and 3D 64 just aren't my cup of tea, for reasons like (Performing perfectly in missions is ultra difficult, [Zero gets a pass because I liked the gamepad better for the on rails segments than the free range chicken segments], or Krystal's outfit makes me uncomfortable, she doesn't seem like the type to OWN that outfit, why the heck would she buy it or make it, and put it in her closet.)
@BloodNinja That guy who said reviewers say what they think, isn't considering the review may be just as shallow. Metroid Dread doesn't interest me to play, that is an immutable fact, a fact about the current me that will never cease to exist in this moment. It doesn't matter to me that this leaked.
