I got this, Danmaku and Iconoclasts and Celeste is the only one that hasn't arrived. The physical version is supposed to have a shiny foil cover so I wonder if that's holding it up.

How could anyone possibly have foreseen a physical toy game doing poorly. How, I ask you. If they totally detach the physical toy bullshit and just let people make whatever ships the engine will physically let them make, that could be an interesting buy at $10-$15 though.

Plus it builds character  I've 3 star'd 1 and 2 with my SO and it was like the first video game she ever played (ie her mechanics are horrible, she can hardly face the proper direction to pick things up etc.) so its definitely do-able even with garbage video gaming

I do not regret buying StarLink at full price and everything else at half or more price off. I still need two pilots, and I may get the PS4 version when it goes clearance so I can get a physical Zenith. I cannot for the life of me though figure out how to do all of it digitally because

Overcooked 1/2 is a 5-player game IMO. Four people to move the characters and one to plan and direct things.

Don't you literally just buy some DLC package that gives it all to you for $60? Anyway... it's a shame that the toy game fad has died. I think my kid would really enjoy Disney Infinity, but I missed the fire sale when it was buy 1 get 5 free at TRU or whatever

Well I'm glad I got the digital version of Starlink! None of that plastic business. I need to go back, I know they added a bunch of stuff, and I guess they'll be adding even more!

The worst thing about the physical version of Starlink is that you have to "check in" with each and every toy every week if you want to keep playing with them. Which strictly makes them worse than the digital version in every way. Almost forces you to buy the digital version AND the toy (if you actually want the toy) just to have the convenience. I guess they did that to prevent a circle of friends from buying one set of toys and then sharing them around, but that was pretty wildly optimistic that anyone would care enough to do that.

I grabbed the physical version of Starlink when Newegg had it for $15 and sold the Arwing toy for the same amount on eBay.

That would literally be too many cooks spoiling the broth, even 4 is too many. I three starred all of Overcooked 2 with my nephew who is 1: competent at video games in his own right and 2: young and related to me therefore I didn’t feel bad about ordering him around I tried a few levels with my girlfriend and very quickly gave up, because she combines being very competitive, getting frustrated when not immediately good at something and interpreting my frantic instructions as shouting at her, which created the perfect storm of ‘play this game if you want to hate each other’

I will give Ubisoft this, making the game available digitally clearly made them more sales. Obviously they lost out some on people not buying the physical tat, but all in all I believe it must have payed off. Only thing i find strange is that they didn't put it out on PC digitally only. Pretty sure plenty of people into space shooters there would enjoy it.

My wife and I took care of our 2 kids all day, then fired up the first Overcooked one night. We played in a perfect fugue-state silence for like, 3 hours, only saying "stop" when one of us wanted to immediately reset a level because of a bad start. We max-starred like half the game, realized we were just doing exactly what we'd spent the entire day doing with the kids, and I sold it to a goon the next day. I genuinely feel like we were playing it "wrong" because we were supposed to be communicating and laughing and joking on each other, but instead we went into that next level where we joylessly suplexed the game and ended up exhausted by it.

the secret to Overcooked is to spend half the time in serious git poo poo done mode and the other half falling into pits and bombarding each other with fish

I'm trying to remember a game with which I've done this, because I know it happened, but I can't think of which one. I mean, it's happened with Minecraft, but that's like.... almost 7 years in of playing it.

I visited an old high school friend I hadn't seen for awhile for a weekend and we ended up playing overcooked 2. Something magical happened and we synced up completely and three starred 2/3 of the game without even talking about the game, we just reminisced and drank beer and somehow managed to three star everything, which pissed off his wife. Evidently with communication they struggled to beat anything. Such a funny game.

I hope Nintendo takes note of Starlink as a dress rehearsal for Star Fox and lets that team do a more polished up, hopefully better framerate version on rails starring just Star Fox. Nintendo's been loving up Star Fox for like a decade so why not hand it off to the people who came closest to a Real StarFox Game.

It doesn't even have to be on rails honestly. I enjoyed Starlink more than 64 because of its vast expansive world. Needs more enemy and boss variety, and some more on rail sections would be welcome but I think open world exploring the solar system is the way to go
