This game broadly borrows from Forza Horizon series (which had lego expansion packs). If they don't have more monetization than Forza Horizon, I expect people won't really complain. So far, Lego games have avoided abusing micro transactions. We'll see how it pans out, I guess. I'm open to being wrong.
@-wc- That's a very good point wondering when people's first consoles were, as I bet many here are younger. My first console was NES. For me, and the types of games I like, 2017 had the most bangers (which I listed above @ comment #5). Granted, there were console generations I skipped. Consoles I had: NES, Genesis, PS2, GameCube, 3DS, Switch.
Getting GameCube was all about sweating N64, I wasn't about to miss out again. 😆
Wish I could see a tutorial of Wayne Unten creating that. Being that I've never used the software, Colors 3D! or Butterfly II before, I'm curious to see how each was used.
@GreenTea @Nicolai I think we've seen Big Man elsewhere, and his design might be inspired by the drummer we've see at the Splatoon 3 concert, and how the drummer opens his mouth wide while drumming. Or maybe everyone knows that already?🤣 Pasting the link to play at a relevant time stamp https://youtu.be/owojB5CngY0?t=2007
In the forum, many people that complain about breaking weapons never maxxed out their bombs(increase damage & reduced cool down time) - bombs are unlimited. And they also never snuck into the castle for good weapons, or farmed arrows.
In the forum, many people that complain about breaking weapons never maxxed out their bombs, which are infinite. And they also never snuck into the castle for good weapons, or farmed arrows.
I only wanted the DLC from amiibo for Splatoon 2 & 3. So, I've bought the nfc card version, since Nintendo doesn't offer the DLC on eshop. You're loss Nintendo.
If they sold a TV-only console, my money is ready. I don't need the handheld, nor do I like a console built around a rechargeable battery. I'd also like more power, so I don't have to miss out on modern games. Needing to buy two consoles is ridiculous & wasteful.
As much as I want the game to release again, I worry it hasn't aged well. Is the walking around at the beginning janky enough to turn new players off? The driving missions are great, though, which is the core of the game.
Lack of power started getting old for me by 2019. I only wish xbox or playstation had enough games I want to justify buying a $500 console, but they don't.
Trials Rising is still one of my favorite games - over a hundred hours in that.
I liked the first Mario Rabbids, but the second one looks so bland I skipped it (especially since it will be so cheap in the near future). Still not sure I'll get it if it's discounted to $20, unfortunately.
Rocket League - Trying to get higher in diamond rank 3v3. Been watching SpookLuke's videos lately. It's helping. (I don't think I've gotten out of Diamond 1 in 3v3 solo queuing). It's amazing how fun this game is when you learn new stuff and take new skills into matches.
And probably some Splatoon 3 Salmon Run. Still plugging away for silver scales to buy a black slopsuit. I've got 42 silver scales.
@sixrings Splatoon 3 added the ability to save jobs from salmon run. Using the grizzco computer in the salmon run training room, you can save Jobs. I'm thinking, you probably can save a Big Run job, and play that via local wireless with friends? This is just a guess, though. I don't have experience with local wireless Splatoon, and it's the first Big Run. It may be worth a try.
I think the bigger missed opportunity, is when a game doesn't offer you the option to play as a male or female character. My nieces would love if Zelda offered a female version of Link.
I'll pass.
Free game offers like this have never yielded something I want to keep on the console. Also, I don't need the anxiety of having to get every game every 24 hours. "Missing a game will break the chain, and you won't be able to claim the next game".
I've wished onigiri (rice balls) were commonly sold near me in the US so I could try them, but nobody sells them around me that I've seen. (Well, I don't know if there's an asian market near me, but it's likely not convenient)
@Wylfen The article only says "post launch" with no date. That could me anything, unfortunately. Perhaps using the developer site's contact page, you can ask with an email. Ask for a release window.

@arnoldfranklin Ah, see.... when I say "never", I'm using reverse psychology, hoping we get a new 3D Rayman.😁
Re: Ubisoft Has Decided To Skip E3 2023, Will Now Host Its Own 'Ubisoft Forward' Event
I've wanted a new Rayman 3D platformer, but it seems like that's never going happen.

Just the New 3DS XL, gray color, 2016.
Re: LEGO 2K Drive Open To Crossovers With Other IP
Any transactions are possible!
(CartoonDan beat me XD)
With Lego having some control, I'm actually still leaning toward trusting Lego to not go nuts with transactions. We'll see!
Re: LEGO 2K Drive Will Include Real Money Transactions
@Dragnoran That is true.😁

Re: Talking Point: What's The Best Year In Gaming?
Since NES times, 2017 is currently my favorite year in gaming. It was a manic high point of bangers.
Breath of the Wild
Mario Odyssey
Splatoon 2
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Splatoon 3 Reveals Expansion Pass Wave 1 Launches Later This Month
