I think it looked great. More variety, bigger races, a world to play around in, etc those are all winning ideas from where I’m sitting. Adding something like wall jumps fits in the Mario universe and could add some interesting skips on courses and things. I was very excited after that trailer.
Of course now that pricing has been revealed, all of that excitement has been sucked out of the room for me. I’ve got a Steam Deck in the mail right now and that’s probably going to be it for me this next gen. Metroid 4 for the OG Switch might be my last Nintendo purchase
Looks pretty different from any game we’ve seen yet. I guess they made it that way since mk8 is already compatible with the new console, so it needs to be something other than “yet another Mario Kart” to not be overshadowed by 8.
Maybe I’ll pick it up in a couple years, but there’s still more than enough games I haven’t played on the Switch 1 for the steep price of the Switch 2 to be justified for me personally.
Not that South of Midnight is a disappointing game - far from it - but that it’s such a shame for it to get so close to being something so genuinely special. This is a game of just remarkable craft - we’ve not even mentioned the stop-motion style of animation! It’s lovely - and likewise remarkable attention, thought, and care. If only just a little more of that care had been afforded to the playing of it.
Really cool. I was scared of this game reviewing bad. The artstyle on the overall tone of the game hooked me since that first trailer where death played the guitar.
Not really, though I can understand your point of view. I went into STALKER 2 fully aware that it wasn’t Anomaly, and I was able to enjoy it for what it is (despite needing to use console commands on three separate occasions to progress past hard-locking bugs). I finished it probably a month after release so don’t know its current state.
I was sufficiently engaged in the story and the presentation to definitely want to finish the game, and I enjoyed the new map and the blend of new and familiar locations. After spending so much time with the originals and the Anomaly map it was great to get a fix of more new content with the same vibe - some of the underground lab locations managed to hit classic STALKER vibes for me and kept me going to the end.
If I were to boot up some STALKER right now I might go for Anomaly over another run of S2 though, and that will probably continue to be the case until the DLC drops.
Return to CW runs on a potato and it’s lots of fun. I know there are lots others, but just throwing that out there. I think it would be challenging to find a modern PC that couldn’t run it.
someone the other day suggested removing it because by day 250 something the chances i forgot would be slim. I was initially hesitant to do it, but ended up doing it just because it’s a lot better of a title. The rules are very much still “Until i forget”
Yeah, if you “forget” about it now, there’s something pretty big happening in your life (or maybe the world). Though, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with taking a break every now and then, if you want.
i’ve considered taking a break a few times or just “freezing” the day count, not because of burn out or anything but because i was just unsure if i could work with my schedule lol. I’m hesitent to take a break though because it kind of feel disingenuous and I’ve ended up working around my schedule each time. If i were to take a planned break though, i think a year would be the perfect point to do it
