Very much so. It wasn’t at launch but the game has gotten a lot of great free updates since. They just added a fun new mode and a poo poo ton of Konami themed characters like ones from Metal Gear, Castlevania, Silent Hill and more.

The online seems kinda dead but it’s totally worth it for local MP.

Yeah, it's pretty good. It's part of Konami's Apology Tour so they put a lot of effort into it. I haven't played it in a little while but they fixed most of the bugs (although the 60FPS upgrade doesn't apply to campaign) and added a bunch of stuff. It's a blast to play and if you have some friends to play it with that's even better.

Yeah. Japan legalized casino gambling a couple years ago and long story short pachinko (which has already been on a big downturn) is probably getting hit hard by it so companies like SNK and Konami have come crawling back because the money in pachinko isn't good enough anymore.

AFAIK they made gambling legal in a specific way that does not involve pachinko and seems completely aimed at foreign tourists. It was a weird decision.

Yeah I did a bit of reading on it a little while back and it's something about "integrated resorts" that have to comply with wacky Japanese home laws. I did a bit of poking around just now and it doesn't sound too promising for its future.

i have heard this line all the time from people defending unity throughout the years but unity games never stop having these performance issues, which gives me the impression that either people aren't learning their lessons or unity just stinks.

I'd love a source for this (or even Team Cherry's complaints) because I enjoy taking potshots at Unity, but also I'd be baffled if an engine actually couldn't process input on the next frame.

I picked bomberman up for like 20 bucks after they fixed it up, and yeah its pretty solid now. I dont care about the single player or the online but since you can pretty much always find used copies for cheap its totally worth it for occasional multiplayer. Its one of those once-in-a-while games like mario party, or monopoly or any other board game

Edit: actually its been a while, gonna play some bomberman tomorrow

There is. It’s okay I guess. It’s what you’d expect if you ever played any classic Bomberman campaign. I believe you can coop it and that would be more fun. There’s some cute amusing cutscenes of Bomberman and his annoying siblings.

The negative buzz was mostly do to its price point but I think it’s worth it now due to all the content stuff added via free patches.

The single player in Bomberman has some sort of F2P energy system or "credits" or whatever they they want you to spend real money on.

Also I think the multiplayer AI is actually just random inputs being pumped into an avatar, because if every human player dies the AI doesn't try to fight each other at all, you just watch them randomly walk around until overtime kills one of them.

No, it doesn’t? It was kinda stingy with the ingame money at launch but it hands it out pretty quickly now. I don’t think there was ever an option of spending real money for it.

It's performance was really bad at release, it wasn't just a lack of content and high price. It was rushed out before it was ready and it really showed.

You do but it only costs 10 and if you pay 3 times in a world, it lets you continue the world for free if you lose all your lives again. You were never able to buy credits with real money as far as I know.

BTW the game is on sale for $30 on the eShop right now.

I feel like they did a really good job with the charms in Hollow Kniight. It's the type of thing I'd probably either just forget about or get stuck in a rut using the same thing all the time in most games, but I feel like prepping for a boss is a bit of a strategic gameplay element of it's own. The only one I've basically left on in perpetuity is grubsong because it basically makes zero sense not to use it in every scenario. It's super dumb that the compass is a charm though. Just a complete waste of a notch for a basic gameplay function.

Also, I didn't use fragile strength until pretty much the end of the game, but holy lol that poo poo is op.

Sony co-owns that IP with Level-5 so whenever they feel like making one, I guess. I doubt there's one coming any time soon given that those games along with other Sony PS2 era exclusives (i.e. SIREN, Rogue Galaxy, Primal, the Jak games) got quick and dirty PS2-PS4 ports rather than remakes or remasters.
