I don't like the trend of open world platformers just having lots of useless or semi-useless stuff to collect spread across wide areas that aren't necessarily all that distinct from one another, and I hope that yooka-laylee is a good return to the collectathon format with a nicely sized open world with lots of interesting things to do without feeling too large or cumbersome to navigate :)

What are you even booing here?

The best 3D platformer is Mario Galaxy. 2 might be better but I haven't played it yet.

2 has better level design but p. much everything surrounding the levels (the interface, the layout of the map, the bonus content, etc) is worse

I have never gotten to play them but they looked like a lot of fun and the music I've heard is really good!!

Every 3D Mario game is my favorite 3D platformer. They all have something unique that makes it really hard for me to single out one as the best.

I like the 2 world map better and the 120 extra stars were 100x better than playing through the entire game again with slightly tweaked physics

You need to be a badass first.
Both Mario Galaxies are amazing and trying to decide which one is better is an impossible task for me, so I just consolidate them into one when I talk about them

Pretty much yeah. I haven't gotten around to 2 or 3D World but Galaxy is the only 3D platformers that I felt captured the difficulty of old school platformers while also doing its own very cool thing.

You should get around to 2 and 3D World because then you'll have three that do that

agreed. i am ready for a revisit to the older sunshine structure like the switch trailer showed if they can pull it off with more polish than back in 2001 but the galaxy games will be tough to top

My best friend put me in his Xcom game and he said I was the luckiest soldier who didn't die throughout the whole campaign. I kept getting criticals and having near deaths then resting, then getting out there and killing three aliens at a time. It made me feel quite badass.

this Brazilian sniper I had in the first xcom game had something crazy like 70 kills. might have been upwards of 100 since she survived every mission

she then sacrificed herself at the ending, she was essentially the protagonist

I would also like to be in xcom. I played XCOM1 in the run up to the 2012 election and would reload any time Colonel Obama was killed

I wanted to do the same with XCOM2 on PS4 but I'm buying too many video games

I loved what 3D Land and World did with the "this is like running through a 2D straight-line level, but in 3D" design but it would be kinda neat to see Sunshine-type levels again I guess

I watched a few XCOM playthroughs on YouTube, and YouTubers like using their Patreon backers or whatever as soldiers, so it always ends up being armies of bearded white dudes with glasses
