I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.

Is EDGE a good source for game reviews? I started ignoring reviews ages ago because so many websites were garbage.

It's a new Mario game. You don't need to read reviews. It will never drop in price and it's going to be good. Stop making poo poo difficult and just buy it.

True facts, how objectively good a reviewer is 100% about how much they confirm your personal preconceptions

e: it's easy to be sarcastic but I'm bucking hard at the idea that reviews don't have worth if you disagree with them or the reviewer likes things you don't, it's a popular and toxic as hell concept

also now I'm not sure the post I am quoting was 100% serious, maybe we actually were both being disingenuous

Color splash is better than the original paper Mario, but it's no thousand year door. But that's not really a knock against color splash, that game is a masterpiece

mot of EDGE'S 10/10 games are fairly good (both Bayonettas, BOTW, Last of Us) but some are extremely suspect. Littlebigplanet was so mediocre but clearly somebody really loved that.

they're saying that thousand year door is a masterpiece, so saying a game isn't as good as ttyd isn't a knock against the game because very few games would hold up to a masterpiece

Thank you.

And super paper Mario is weird because it's an incredibly fun game to read and experience but it's not actually very much fun to play. Somehow it's still excellent though

BRB, gonna go to a nearby rooftop bar and see what happens.

I can see it now, myself and one other person crowd around the tiny screen and play Mario Kart, squinting to make anything out. A crowd gathers around the bar, oblivious to us huddled around the perfect console, handheld, portable. The battery dies in short order since I forgot to charge it beforehand and it can't be charged in tabletop mode. They throw the controller down in rage and disgust, and storm off. Leaving me alone with my dead switch, having no way to engage people I jump off the roof in despair, plummeting to my death. The paramedics jury rig the defribrillator to charge the Switch and enjoy a game of Mario Kart on my corpse.

If it really has as many moons as BotW has Korok seeds you'll need to quit your job and play Mario full time. That's my plan, certainly.

People rag on Sticker Star and Color Splash for the gameplay but I still think the gameplay in those is above Super. Super made platforming boring which is something that should never happen with Mario.
