On the contrary, well-curated twitter is the best social media platform.

I follow and am followed by game devs and sound designers, and I've blocked all mentions of poo poo heads like MTG and Ben Shapiro, so it's great :shobon:

I bought it earlier in the year on the basis of it being a Digital Eclipse project and, specifically, because Chris Kohler worked on it. Shortly after all the news about Activision-Blizzard came out now I kind of regret purchasing something that celebrates the legacy of a lovely company.

For as much as I checked it out though the port is pretty good.

"It's only got 5 courses!!!!!!" they screamed, knowing more were being released as free DLC with extra modes and characters.

Because gamers are dumb. And the dumbest amongst them become critics.

It's divisive I guess. There's not as much mechanical depth as previous entries and it's missing some polish, but I still had a blast with it. I haven't even played the last batch of courses yet so I'm definitely not done with it.

They should have put Diddy Kong in the Mario Golf updates. Also put him in the next Mario Kart. Hell, let him replace Toad in the next Mario while we're at it. That'll give them something to call "New"

I always preferred Diddy Kong Racing to Mario Kart 64, and I would have checked out Crash Team Racing a lot earlier if people had compared it to DKR rather than Mario Kart 64.

But I also love Banjo-Kazooie! I want both!

The missing third click was not that important lol and it's absence adds to the game, forcing you to risk accuracy for power

Unfortunately i feel it was made with motion controls in mind, which isn't for everyone, but it makes for the best video game golf we've gotten in awhile.

I agree, it's really hosed up to expect 2021 recaps produced in 2022 to account for free patches released in the far distant future of 6 months ago.

Excellent point.

Reality: Mario Golf Super Rush has the most courses and modes of any Mario Golf game

Clickbait bullshitters: "Mario Golf Super Rush has the fewest courses and modes of any Mario Golf game"

The dumbest person to ever live: "How dare you question the sanctity of clickbait, the bedrock upon which our entire society is built"

Did Mario Golf wind up having asymmetrical online tournaments? I placed a lot of value on that element with the 3DS version and the more recent iterations of Hot Shots, and it was kind of hard to parse what was in the base game plus stuff that was added in later. I avoided it at launch because it sounded like it did not in fact have them at the time.

I think that Austin Eruption has one of the most reasonable critiques of it. He even acknowledges that the game has plenty of content now, but it is a victim of the modern gaming style of trickling out content that Nintendo has unfortunately adopted for a handful of its first-party titles.

No they're great ports and in fact they enhanced the games in the bundle in a lot of cool ways (though the original versions are still there of course). For Lost Vikings you can choose to play it with the SNES graphics & sound plus the bonus stages from the Genesis version.

But what sucks is if you choose that mode the rewind feature is not available, unless they patched that in later.

And first impressions can mean a lot, so people who are turned off by the lackluster launch of a game aren't as likely to come back compared to if the game just launched completed from the get-go. I can't blame people for not being a fan of this model because they get stuck with a rather unsatisfying experience and have to wait for the game to get good and have to settle for their $60 paying for an incomplete game, and maybe later it gets good. Assuming support doesn't get dropped.

Look stux, you don't get it.

No one should buy a good game in January of 2022 if it was less good in March of 2021.

See also how no one should watch the director's cuts of Blade Runner or Dark City because the initial studio cuts were bad.
