yellowyams posted:it's probably too early for this but can anyone report in if the full paradise killer lives up to the praise its demo was getting? i've already gone way past my budget over the last month but i don't know when this might go on sale again and don't want to miss my chance. the premise sounds extremely my poo poo but one thing in the eshop description worries me. it says there are many possible murderers so does that mean you accuse whoever you want to based on what evidence you find most convenient? ambiguity in stories can be cool but this seems like it would suck the fun out of investigating since slowly uncovering what happened is a big part of the joy of mystery solving for me. what's the point of getting excited for discovering evidence you think narrows down the culprits if there's no true killer? i'm sure it's possible to pull this off in a satisfying way but i'm worried this won't. Based solely on my one playthrough, the evidence did narrow things down, but at the end after exhausting everything I could see I still had multiple suspects with plausible evidence against them. The game didn't say anything about who I ended up accusing other than whether the evidence was sufficiently convincing. So not entirely open-ended, but still playing up the ambiguity at the end.

100YrsofAttitude posted:People keep mentioning what I assume is an anime. What exactly is Danganronpa and why is it a favorable comparison? The game looks real neat and reminds me kinda of Obra Dinn. 3D World is a bit like 2 games in one The first half or so is pretty easy singleplayer. Stages are really really wide open and let you wander around, and it's really difficult to mess up the platforming. These stages are the best for multiplayer because of that, but in singleplayer can feel way too easy. The second half is a really fun, often super punishing mario game. I like it a lot but it's actually harder to do with other people (Still possible, I got to and beat Champion's Road with 1 other friend coop) I played through the whole thing coop first, then when I got a Wii U myself played through it singleplayer and had a very different but still good experience

I get kind of confused at the amount of hate SM3DW gets at times. It was delightful from start to finish and I remember seeing a whole bunch of people complaining in the most bizarre way ever. "God drat it nintendo, another excellent, family friendly game for all ages! This flawless design bothers me! Where's my risky game that might just end up being poo poo??" I guess that my point is that its really weird that your biggest complaint about a game is that it doesn't take as many risks as it should and only was an excellent mario game TheDiceMustRoll fucked around with this message at 08:22 on Sep 6, 2020 |

I've been playing 3d land over the past couple days too. Turns out it's pretty good! Not exactly mind blowing or world shaking but it's just innovative enough to justify existing and really solid all the way through. If I have any complaints it would be that the worlds aren't very well themed, the levels within any given world are a wild mixture that don't have anything to do with one another.

But then people seem to hate Sunshine too (I never played it, waiting to get it on Switch)

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:I dunno imo Cuphead just slapped in coop and it kinda messes up the balance actually I have a personal theory that the complete lack of a library at the time on the Wii U hurt people's perceptions badly too. The Wii U was very much the console of "We're not going to blow your mind, but here's a lot of top tier games" for the first couple years.

fit em all up in there posted:Is Cuphead worth it for single player I didn't get very far in it on PC (because I'm not that great at video games) but if you like the idea of a tough but fair platformer with a distinctive old timey aesthetic/soundtrack, go for it. I'd probably be willing to give it another chance on Switch if it drops really cheap in the eShop someday. I've gotta say, the Switch is particularly well-designed around the principle of minimising the friction between "thinking you might want to play a game" and then doing so. There are so many things in my backlog that I can't be bothered booting up on PC/PS3/Wii but would likely be working through right now if I had them on Switch. Paying $60 for something I already own is the sticking point though. Human brains are weird.

Convenience is definitely a big thing. The Switch can be played in various form factors and tends to minimise loading times and interface barriers. Especially considering how slow and fiddly the Wii U could be, and how the other consoles tend to plaster their menus with ads.

If I have any complaints it would be that the worlds aren't very well themed, the levels within any given world are a wild mixture that don't have anything to do with one another. My biggest issue with 3D Land is controlling it with the 3DS joystick which isn't great. My thumb tends to slide off it eventually so I move in fits and starts. But that's not the game's fault. I began to "speed-run" it, just going straight to the goal since I beat it ages ago and it's good. If that's the proof of concept for World, then yeah definitely worth it. It's not the most challenging platformer, but it has some moments and generally speaking it plays incredibly well. Araxxor posted:Yeah the ads are really hard to miss. Sometimes they contain other stuff, but they're ads most of the time. Considering I have to retrieve my Switch from its dock when I play it, I tend to miss the ads as I'm unlocking it as I walk to where I want to sit. So I'd argue they're easier to miss. But you're point stands.

You can just unfollow the main news channel if you don't want to see any ads on startup. Unless you're also counting any updates to the games you got to also be an add, then you would have to unfollow everything I guess.

Context is everything. At the time, I think SM3DW got lumped in with the New SMB series that was already outstaying its welcome, and it didn't really have the presentation and variety that you'd expect from a 'mainline' Super Mario game. Especially since I think a lot of people, including myself, were eagerly anticipating a proper HD Mario that took full advantage of the hardware to stretch its legs. (which we eventually got in Odyssey, which pretty much hit every single note to drive people crazy about it) With its weird half-assed 3D and dubious multiplayer, 3D World came off as a little neither one thing nor t'other, I think, with plot and presentation being very by-the-numbers and uninspiring. It is fun that it brought back a lot of elements of the original games like playable Peach, map screens and bonus levels, but didn't really do that much interesting with them.

I would argue it's better than odyssey in a lot of ways. Odyssey has some cool ideas here and there, some of the levels are amazing (New Donk City, The Garden) but there's a lot of levels that are awesome the first time you see it and much less awesome after, like the pointless Dragon battle level, or the fairly mediocre water themed ones. I can have a ton of fun playing 3DW today, I would need to drink a reasonable amount of brain bleach to get the same enjoyment out of Odyssey.

No poo poo, Odyssey sort of rekindled my love of video games. I had resigned myself to playing Minecraft and OOTP Baseball for the rest of my terrible life before I remembered I like Nintendo games. I am not at all interested in modern AAA titles and thought I had fell out of love with gaming in general. Turns out I just don't like giant narrative driven big budget crap.

Now I'm watching some 4P attempt on YouTube and it's hilarious constant chaos and failure. Did you both get through it clean or with deaths/bubbles? Clean with 2 people would take a LOT of practice, we did loads of bubbles. But there are parts of the map where a bubble is impossible to pop anyway so you have to get through large parts of it with no deaths. If you try to play it safe and have someone stay behind in case you bubble the game screws you over for it lol

I had resigned myself to playing Minecraft and OOTP Baseball for the rest of my terrible life before I remembered I like Nintendo games. It didn't need re-kindling in my case but Breath of the Wild was the revolutionary game for me. Odyssey didn't do much for me, even if it's undeniably good, and I probably enjoyed 3D Land more, with my only complaint being it felt easy, which is understandable. I'm pretty confident I'll get all the Mario games coming out nonetheless, even if I'll admit I much prefer the 2D games (which is probably why I should just by NSMBU, but that... feels wrong). But that's probably because 3D Land, aside from the non-ideal console, is 3D Mario with short stages that including more difficult platforming challenges, which is what I enjoy from the series.
