I have never even played Stardew Valley, but I love all news about it. Everything about this game feels like a better world. Innocent, not greedy and cute. Kind-hearted.
@ScalenePowers I partially agree with your point, but I feel like there were many things that Croc did right. While I also think that it lacked some personality that we knew from other games, it had a unique vibe to it in my opinion. I really love Croc games.
@OorWullie a lot of GBA style comes from the fact that the screen didn't have any kind of lighting, at least until GBA SP. Because of that, the color palette was always brighter compared to other consoles. It's most obvious when you compare games than landed on GBA from other consoles.
Guys, I'm so happy about these comments, thank you! It brings back my hope in humanity. Let's all celebrate the saint and the most beautiful thing that creativity is 🌞
@JohnGuyJohn yes, I have. I always finish games, even when they are a chore, but I just couldn't push myself to play Luigi's Mansion 3 till the end. It made me sleepy.
I really wanted to like this game, but I guess Sonic is not for me in general. I played it for several hours and stopped, because it was just so BORING for me. I can't find the appeal some folks are talking about.
The only thing I wish they change in the next game is to make it a little bit more fair. I mean, randomness of the race is fine. But if you are the best by far and lose to a blue shell it feels wrong.
@RubyCarbuncle yeah, the unfairness is the biggest downside of Mario Kart 8. But it's still much better in that regard comparing to previous Mario Kart games. I played MK7 not long ago and the balance is pretty awful. And don't even get me started on MK64 or older ones. MK8 showed how unfair and boring the older ones were.
I've purchased it on day one, but in my opinion this game didn't age too well. It's too short and kinda shallow comparing to some modern puzzle platforming games. There's something cheesy about Braid. It was quite revolutionary in its days, but it didn't last long. Also, I really love developer commentary in games, but in Braid: Anniversary Edition it's too much and detailed, which makes it boring. I gave up on listening all of it.
@Joeynator3000 the development of AI and how it's planned to be used freaks me out. I hope it doesn't get to where it's aiming, because otherwise future generations won't even know what human creation used to be. It would all be copy-paste a that point. I really hate it how humanity prioritizes profits for literally everything.
@EVIL-C I don't like it when people glorify "developing a strong will". It does ruin fun! It's like having these pay-to-win games. The fact that you CAN do it makes playing less fun, period. Don't pretend it's a matter of a strong will or whatever. It takes away a reward of the challenge if you know that people can finish this game in easier way.
@AG_Awesome save anywhere, fine. But rewinding is ruining the experience in a way. It makes games too easy. You can say "oh, but you can ignore it and never use it". The sole fact that the option exists makes it tempting to use it and difficult to resist under pressure though. I'd say NO for rewinding.
3D platformers is among my favorite genres, but Yooka-Laylee just didn't click for me. I played it for several hours and left it. Not sure why, perhaps it just lacks the magic of Mario, Banjo or Spyro for me.
No, I wouldn't. I've always thought that the quality of joy-cons is unacceptable and I haven't even experienced the drift. It's just so poorly mounted on the Switch, the wobbling seems random from unit to unit. I was unlucky and my wobbling was rather on the extreme edge. Also the plastic quality is abysmal, part of my left analog fell off and I'm very delicate with my stuff.
I love Super Mario Land. Yes, it's simple comparing to newer GameBoy games, but it has something special to it, not sure what that is. Some kind of magic I guess. There are perfect games that lack magic and there are imperfect, but magical games. You already know which one Super Mario Land is in my humble opinion.
@Pointy59 that's a very healthy mindset of yours. It's been a natural mindset to desire and create durable things, but capitalism brainwashed us into thinking that we need new things all the time. How Apple convinced people to spend over thousand dollars on the new, almost identical iPhone every 2-3 years, sometimes every year (!!!) is actually scary. But hey, that's how you make your trillions, baby. And they still get away with calling themselves environment-friendly 🤦🏻♂️
I'm honestly surprised that people are surprised about Lara Croft being the first. It's either the age difference or being in the Nintendo bubble. Lara Croft and Mario are the most iconic gaming stars ever in my opinion. But Hitman at #3 is seriously strange.
@rvcolem1 I think it's not only about consistency, but about motion blur or something. There are some games that look fine in 30 FPS and then some that are barely playable in 30 FPS (at least in my case).
