Re: Ubisoft Employee Explains Why Star Wars Outlaws Is A Game-Key Card

@Sebos The preservation argument is nonsense. Digital games can be dumped and preserved. Do you think that all the digital only 3DS games are lost now that the eshop shutdown? Everything is available to download somewhere. I like physical games too, but over time they will start to decay with disc rot and all that.

A lot of people here seem to not like the time limit and stamina systems, but the game is designed around it and I don't think it would work very well without them. A big part of the fun is managing your time and planning ahead, kind of like Pikmin. I definitely understand why people find that stressful and don't enjoy it though.

@sanderev I don't think the tech demo comment is unreasonable. It could be that the game just doesn't work well as a demo, but the whole breaking everything gimmick didn't really look that fun. Quite a few people who played the game were a bit worried about it. Definitely not saying it's going to be bad, but I really hope there's more to it.

Re: Review In Progress: Mario Kart World (Switch 2) - The Perfect Introduction To A New Console Generation?

The game's definitely not bad or anything, but it's a very flawed Mario Kart and that's pretty underwhelming for the big launch game. Free roam is really empty and the p-switches are mostly repetitive don't add much. I would've loved it as a kid, but that's not really a complement. Also the intermissions are really boring and I wish I could turn them off in online and grand prix. I'm glad I got this in the bundle because I'd be really disappointed if I payed full price.

This might be unpopular, but aside from graphical downgrades, I don't think Pokemon has gotten any worse. I enjoyed Pokemon X when I was younger, but playing some of the older ones as well as the recent ones makes me think they're pretty middling without a lot of nostalgia for them.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Pikmin 4?

I do really enjoy the game but it's definitely my least favorite in the series. I've gotten used to the controls but they're still far from ideal and I'm not a fan of the new characters and excessive dialogue. Still at least an 8/10 for me because the core Pikmin gameplay is so much fun.
