I think it’s cool. Just another Mario kart game. Updated graphics and world exploring is neat. I would be loving this game if I was 10. In my thirties? Nah. $$$
Latching on to your Lovecraftian recommendations I’d like to put forth Skald: Against the Black Priory, which should presumably also run excellently on the Steam Deck. Keep an eye out for it during the sale, it’s a great tribute to retro CRPGs and has a wonderfully gloomy lovecraftian vibe.
You’ll like it I think, I played it earlier this year and absolutely loved it. Great vibe, good story, beautiful pixel art and a great retro feel without the clunk of actual retro games 😄 Cool world building too.
I got annoyed when they sent me to the swamps to turn off some psy antennas. Felt like too much distance between each antenna, psy storms would happen very often and there wasn’t anything to hide in to wait out the storm. Managed to get that last antenna off and now the objective is another long walk across the map, right through an area crawling with bloodsuckers. I’m fine with the long walks, I know fast travel is available for certain points on the map and I use it when I can. But man, I just can’t comprehend why bloodsuckers are everywhere in this game and why they take so much ammo to take down. Dropped the game and have been playing the mass effect trilogy
As a Forza Horizon fan my curiosity is piqued. I like being able to shift vibes from an intense race to just cruising around the landscape, and Mario Kart is a very different style of racing so it’d be a very different experience
i'm pretty excited. i was disappointed by 8 and disapointed even more when we got it again on Switch instead of a new installment, with . one of the main things that bugged me was the kart customization that felt more like picking nerfs than buffs. having that eliminated alone makes the game 10x more appealing, and then this new rally mode seals the deal for me
...aside from the price like everyone else is saying. i'll gladly get it used, but if we all wait for it to go on sale used, there won't be any used copies to buy used! the comments in the gameplay streams nintendo did today where flooded with demands to drop the prices so i think everyone is on the same page. it'll be interesting to see in the coming months if nintendo budges
As a bundled launch title I expect most launch window sales will be digital. There won’t be 2nd hand game cards on the market in any volume until after they drop the bundle.
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.
That scene where you’re fighting the dude and she swoops in and breaks his face and is like “GE DAH” and the music is fucking epic. They can take all the time they need, I’d rather it be good.
