I think the controls are one of the few things impacting its age. They’re difficult to get right on modern hardware with the One Stick design. Especially the Wii U gamepad. I played that version and Mario just did not control well for me. I don’t know what it was
I honestly am surprised i’ve made it this far. I fully expected to forget one day or just straight up not have time at all at some point along the way. I’m happy i’ve been able to make it this far.
Online is a lot more “dailies” (as my friend who plays FXIV likes to call them). So like daily quests to get gold and bounties and things like that. They also have PVP things and races, I can’t vouch for those though as I’m not really big on the PVP after getting a Hacker in my first few games. there’s a bit of a story too. It’s not too long but it’s fun to play. Though irc it strong arms you into multiplayer if you don’t have a friend to play with.
I tend to stick to mostly doing bounties, which is one of the careers you can pick up. There’s also Naturalist, Collector, and Moonshiner irc.
All of them need licenses though to get, which costs the game’s in game premium currency (gold). It’s not too hard to get ahold of in game (i get like 0.25 per a bounty at max payout with licenses being around 10-15 Gold irc, you can get gold for other things too like daily quests). I know Premium currencies are a turn off for some people though
10/10 seems to be the general consensus. The only complaint I’ve heard is with Jesse as a character, which while I’m not sure I understand, does seem to be the most common.
Being a huge Alan Wake fan it definitely is a pleasure to play through. I’m excited to get too the AWE DLC for it
If I didn’t stumble upon the astral bathroom before I don’t think it would have clicked for me how to solve the very last one I did. It’s definitely on par with the same difficulty of Zelda 1 where you either need a lot of time or a walkthrough to solve it
I’ll definitely put it on my list. The story and scale of the Remedy Universe was one of my favorite parts of it. I’d kill to experience something similar
Man. When I was younger I couldn’t get into Star Fox 64 on my 3DS. Maybe I should give it a try again. Is it the kind of thing where the PC Port is the better way to play it or should I play it on original hardware?
I’ve found that the Crystals in the foundation DLC really helped mix up the combat enough to stab a little more life into it for the DLC. But I do get that. If I didn’t stop like 3 missions away from the end the first time I played I probably would have found it a bit repetitive too
