I’m curious if someone an give me a general sense of how much of Dread remains (no specifics, please)

I most recently got the screw attack. I have found two upgrades for what I assume are power bombs, but I can’t use them yet. There aren’t many ??? obstacles on the map anymore. All I can think of are power bomb blocks (I think!) and purple door shields.

Going into this game completely blind was a great move.

The "umibozu" theory.

That whole "thousands of years after a nuclear armageddon" stuff usually kind of puts a chill down my spine, but the "Japanese water demon that possibly takes many forms and causes your ship to crash" is :stare:

And also, I guess I didn't actually beat Pikmin 2, because hoooooly poo poo Louie :wtc:

The umibozu theory is cool, I'm looking forward to seeing if/how they expand on it whenever there's a Pikmin 4. :hai:

I believe it’s the highest selling Pikmin game, which sounds alright until you consider that the first three games in the series all came out on less-than-successful consoles. I honestly think that the Pikmin game that Niantic just put out on phones is gonna be the actual determinant for whether we get more Pikmin. It’s one of those things that clearly has its fans at Nintendo (up to and including Miyamoto since the first one was his baby) but has not found it’s market yet, even though pretty much everything Pikmin is at worst interesting and at best outstanding, including the phone game and the animated shorts.

The other issue is that Pikmin as a concept is really built to utilize processing power of a console and that’s just not what Nintendo is about these days. 2 and 3 are some of the best-looking games of their respective consoles and no Nintendo franchise would benefit more from 4K than it. If they made 3 look that good on Wii U tech, imagine what they’d do with something as powerful as even a PS4 Pro.

Oh my god imagine a fully open-world Pikmin. I know you’d have to really adjust the day-timer stuff but you could almost pull a reverse Pikmin 2, with an overworld where you have unlimited time and puzzles that require elaborate solutions, and caves you spelunk into that have set time limits because of oxygen that you have to clear of resources as quickly as possible ala the mission mode in 3. I also think it’s RTS-adjacent roots would really lend itself to resource gathering for crafting and base-building, even though both of those things are sort of passé now. You might even be able to build that within the Pikmin 3 engine if they wanted something that could be made for the Switch.

Dont judge me, I design your manhole
I only clocked about 120 hours this year, with SMTV being the most played. I mostly focused on the PS5 this year since I didn't have a PS4 for most of the generation. I think Metroid was like the first game this year i spent any significant amount of time on with my switch.

In return, here's my old man, Ezio! He turned ten last month and he's still his usual self; fingers crossed for several more years. I was fresh out of high school when we got him, and obsessed with Assassin's Creed 2/Brotherhood. Plus I thought "Eagle" was a darkly-hilarious name for a bun.

Thank you, I am always glad to see more high quality rabbit content.

Is Tales of Vesperia good in 2021? I see it’s on sale and debating on buying it.

I put about 120 hours into it and loved the hell out of it. I have no idea what the story is. It's very much a 10+ year old jrpg so take that as you will. Combat is interesting and you can either engage with it deeply or just mash button, but there is a lot of replay value with new game + and a lot of little stories in side quests that you may need a guide to not miss.

If you like jrpgs and know how tales games are, it's worth at least $12.50. Main story is about 50 hours I'd say, and the worst part are the two kids in the party.

Honestly I think The Messenger quoting Jordan Peterson is a lesser sin than turning into a bad metroidvania half way through with no warning whatsoever.

yeah that was a puzzling decision that didn't really add anything to the gameplay. it was definitely at its best as a linear platformer. the dlc was really good bc it seems like they figured that out.

Then again, the entire final sequence is basically Super Meat Boy, only more frustrating and less fun, so one step forward one step back I guess.

I absolutely hated The Messenger. The platforming is fine at best and the writing is so bad it actually sabotages the game - having no dialogue at all would improve it substantially.

I'm a loving weirdo and totally can't hang with Pikmin.

Get rid of the timer and it's a great awesome game. But with the timer it's just too stressful. It does not make sense for me to be this way.
