I would be interested in seeing how many votes that games got, I would but more stock into a game with 1000 votes than a game with only a few votes that were mostly high.
@Enigk I played a lot of dead cells so that is probably why the game came across as very easy. I use the twin blades that give a bonus after vaulting. If you are struggling on Bataar you can kick the bombs that follow you around for major damage.
Game is really fun, I agree it is on the easy side for this genre. My two complaints are the art style is hideous, and one of the boss fights is way too long.
@Teksette Lodoss war was fun but I was so confused about the story, then realized there was a whole TV show and Manga. Game is on the easy side if you want a chill Symphony clone
I think Laika is an ok game, I dont know about gem as motorcycle metroidvania with a odd pacing and some really annoying check point placements/fast travel system. The game has solid music, but i really feel like a lot of people would bounce off it after a few hours. Also that final boss, mini ramp thing ugghhh
Be safe out there, no clue what happened in this incident, but we let almost anyone drive in America and a good percentage of those people seem to always be in a rush, distracted or just plain selfish on the road.
Ouch the nintendolife.com review for this game, I played through the main game and a bunch of side quests before patches and I really only thought the car stuff was rough but playable. Honestly maybe I just dont care or notice frame rate that much
Myles isnt bad at all, it was the decision to have him guide you every time you left an area that was misguided. I have a radio meant for hints. I dont need a hint every time I get an item then go to the main hub area. Also turn off the dang thing that shows you where home base is every time you need to go there. Otherwise I really enjoyed the game
Not a big Marvel fan but I did wish list cosmic invasion as I just have too much to play currently. I like to beat everything I purchase so I can wait.
My biggest tip for this fight is before heading to the tower, for the love of God go to a save station and refill health and ammo before doing the point of no return.
@Anachronism I get everything digitally so im not concerned by keycard vs fully physical. Since Im obviously not in a rush to play village. I can wait. Thanks for the heads up
I like 4 a lot more than 3, the knock for me is prime 4 is pretty on rails for a metroid game. But overall the game has been really fun so far, I think im close to the end
Just wish for the days of robust single player campaigns, this game is making a lot of money so it probably isnt going away from the multi-player/online model.
Game is pretty fun, definitely needs more levels or boss options. So sick of fighting Karai and leatherhead, as even the optional tough variants are too similar to there original form. Really this game overall needs more variety
Just glad the shop is significantly better. I wish there was more sorting settings, or folders because my digital game library after 8 years is getting large
The extra characters themselves aren't that annoying, I do wish you could turn off myles basically telling you what to do next every time you leave a zone. Give the game room to breathe, also the enemies hit like a truck but the variety is lacking so far. It isnt perfect but it still is fun.
The demo was fine enough to lead to a purchase, these longs developments times and cost to develop has to be very stressful. This leads to games having to be hits, also the demo for that Eliot game got me excited for the game. I say that seeing comments here are that the demo can lead to people not purchasing your game. I wonder if the attach rates are higher or lower with demos or it just really depends on the quality of the demo?
I actually thought the game was kinda fun, the problem was it felt kinda flat presentation wise. The barrier to entry with the controls was also a big problem with the game for a lot of people. The concept of wheelchair basketball can definitely be turned into a fun video game, they obviously weren't disrespecting handicapped people.
@Tom-Massey I dont mind that this exists as an option, just not cureently something i want to spend time with. Plus my comment wasn't negative about Absolum, even if the game may be on the slightly easier side of traditional beat em ups. I do enjoy the expanding mission structure of Absolum with the combat system. The dash parry and punish system is a fun implementation and keeps combat engaging enough for me while not being so deep it hurts my brain.
While I own and enjoy both Abolum and TMNT this is not currently worth it to me as the IP doesn't scream must have and more importantly the combat could be not as satisfying as games i already own. Maybe after a long stint away from the genre I can revisit this.
Hope for a game key cards or digital only way to go moving forward. No more pesky plastic cases and other junk that would just get thrown away. Digital future is here
The line that says combat is not as good as shredders revenge and absolum. Yeah gonna have to pass on this one then. Been playing a lot of absolum this past week and dont need another beat em up unless it is amazeballs
I wonder why this got the promotional push it received? Love it or hate it this coming out so close to mario kart is a killer as most casual gamers didnt need another racing style game on switch. I dont believe they could have changed the result. I saw the preview and noped out pretty quick while others were pumped. I also believe if a parent on just get one switch 2 game right now they are grabbing Mario Kart every time over this because name recognition is huge.
Well it was on at 5am my time, plus it looks like these aren't good mario kart players just decent like me. Who kidding I probably wouldn't watch a competition of good players either
I dont know what sonic esque character would be popular enough for a movie franchise besides Sonic. Video games are very popular but I wouldn't want a Tingle movie
