One thing that I hope they didn’t carry over from the first one is the ad-libbing of 90% of the NPC’s lines. The voice actor is not good at improv and constantly resorts to swearing and throwing insults out of no where for cheap shock value whenever he hits a block. At first it was funny because it was different to what you’re used to but it got old really quick.
Justin Roiland hasn’t been with Squanch Games since the abuse allegations and lawsuit regarding his sexual harassment of an employee. Roiland was not named specifically in the suit, but the suit was settled out of court and Roiland left Squanch at the same time, so we can all put 2 and 2 together and make “Roiland is a disgusting freak.”
He wasn’t even in the DLC from the first game, High on Knife.
Every mario party game is very RNG-heavy but i think that's by design. It would get borint very quick if the best player would win every time, and the randomness gives a chance for players who suck at minigames (kids and non-gamers) to win.
I understand that’s the purpose of a party game, but the mini games I saw were literally chose a thing and it will explode or it will not, no fun involved after you experience it once. Not even like a blue shell that still needs you to move forward.
Also there was a game that made you chose a 1 or 2 and once you got to a few players, it was impossible to win regardless if you got left with the option before the bee hive. At least make the dice spin faster when less players are around to make it feel random but fair (even if it isn’t).
There is a point where things move from fun and chaotic to completely random and less replayable.
Björn Ruther has worked on this as mo-cup supervisor and historical advisor, so I’m kinda curious to see the end product! (Pseudo-)Historical accurate medieval games are hard to come by, surprisingly.
