Minecraft looks completely fine PSX games looked like garbage PS2 had good games but wasn't as good at the GameCube Shantae has really nice pixel graphics, looks like an old game and not some cheap indie Should I try to get into Pikmin 3 again? I dunno what it was about it but I kinda hit it like a brick wall when I initially bought it. You cuties have been perfect with suggestions so why not ask now.

You can buy Minecraft books and toys and Legos and all sorts of poo poo and the game looks like someone threw up a PSX I know, my kids won't shut the gently caress up about it. There's something about it that appeals to children under 10 and autistic people.

I really liked Pikmin 3 but if it failed to impress you when you first tried to play it, you probably wouldn't like it if you tried again later. Try finding the Pikmin 1 and Pikmin 2 combo sets for the Wii if you don't have them, though. Pikmin 2 is the best in the series, in my opinion.

The first couple areas in Pikmin 3 are fairly boring imo until you have all of the captains, and to a lesser extent all of the pikmin colors. I was just kind of going through the motions until I had everything, and then for whatever reason really enjoyed the game a great deal more and blitzed through it.

It took me a little while to get into Pikmin 3 as well, but once I did it just clicked and I really enjoyed myself. I do think it gets really good when you get all the types of Pikmin.

Godinster posted:Peach is easily the best character in Mario 3D world for dress float. Cat hover is an added bonus. Also when you pick Peach for a Bowser stage, she says "It's about time!" so yeah Peach is cool. Going from Peach to playing literally anyone else is weird because suddenly you're going at like Mach 3. I forgot she was the absolute slowest character.

They're not huge, but they've made a very comfortable and long-lasting niche cranking out shovelware of major licenses to fund their cartoon tity passion projects.

2 is great if you enjoy the series because there's a lot of content in it meaning lots of playtime, but you can argue it's definite padding after accomplishing your initial goal. It struck a great chord with me, so much so that while I did have a lot of fun with 3, I was a bit disappointed there wasn't more to do in it, like there was with 2. Titan Dweevil was a very stressful final final boss.

Regardless of opinions of the three games' relative qualities (2 is obviously the best) 3 is the best one to introduce you to the series. If you don't like it I don't see how the other two would change your mind, unless you're one of those weirdos who only likes 1's relatively tight time limit. So definitely try 3 again. Did you get to any bosses? The bosses are sick.

You could get into the semantics about how different Wayforward and Yacht Club Games are but absolutely no one gives a flying gently caress.

On Pikmin 3: I was just overwhelmed with the multitasking and pace of the game I think. I absolutely love the "playing in the garden" theme of the game and if it had similarly relaxed gameplay I would have been all about it. I guess I wanted less objectives and more free time to wander around doing whatever I want. No big deal though, I'll pop it in sometime this week and try to click with it. It's a very charming series.

It's a very charming series. As long as you collect fruit fairly regularly, you really can just do whatever at your own leisure, and you don't have to multitask too much if you don't want to. There is enough fruit in the game for something like 100 days to go bye so don't worry about running out of time on the larger scale. That said, multitasking is extremely rewarding and fun once you get the hang of it.

It's a very charming series. Try making your only objective to collect fruit, do nothing else for an in-game day or two and that will buy you tons of days so you can do whatevs at a slower pace. The game is totally about multitasking to do as many objectives in one day as possible, but I think you can slow it down if you focus on the fruit first so you'll have time to do other stuff at your leisure.

Speaking of 2d platformers, how hard is Shovel Knight? A few reviews claimed it was far too easy, while others said it was as tough as earlier Mega Mans. I'm not terrible at 2d platformers (particularly mario or sonic style ones), but always felt like Mega Man was a little too tough for me. Don't want to grab Shovel Knight and then realize how terrible I am at it.

I'd put it in the same ballpark as something like Ducktales: challenging, but not nearly as tough as Mega Man or Castlevania or whatever, especially once you work out how to abuse all the relics. It's a very accommodating game, you can pretty much just peck away at it until you're done.

There are also two chalices that you buy and can fill them with "Ichor" for free that completely refills your health and magic. To make a comparison to mega man, you can essentially have 2 free E-tanks for every level, that you really only need for the boss. Some of the end game platforming gets difficult, but not in an unfair way.

Shovel Knight is cool. The level design gets a little worse as the game goes on but it's still one of the best retro-styled platformers.
