It good. There may be just too many Pikmin types at this point, little bit bloated in 3. The final boss was an epic multi day struggle though and a very fun finale

in pikmin 3 there were a lot of types but you also had the split captain roles. one dude has tasks that involve flying and water pikmin, the other with red and yellow etc.

pikmin 3 is so good but im still not sure how i felt about the whole multiple captains mechanic. pikmin 2 felt more solid

Pikmin 2 also had multiple captains...?

yah but it was a convenience thing. like, the game wasnt designed around it, if you wanted to be more efficient you could split tasks but it was optional

pikmin 3 youre switching between captains pretty often, it was fun but i prefer pik1 and 2's style. idk

i would still highly highly recommend pikmin 3 to everyone though. plus you can pick it up very cheap, maybe not in stores but through websites and people still selling leftover digital codes from the MK8 promotion

You're crazy man, there's a lot of puzzles in 2 where you have to throw the other captain to take him to different parts of the level. 3 just added a third one so maybe it stuck out more in your mind

I like that Pikmin 3 looks absolutely gorgeous throughout the entire game but every time you end a day and you watch the fruits get squeezed into a colorful juice, the framerate drops to single digits for no discernible reason

for some reason they went with really complex dynamic liquid physics for the fruit squeezes instead of canned animations. even on modern systems thats a lot of work for a computer.

ill never know why they went with that

the roller boss that chased you through a bunch of floors of a dungeon before you could finally face it on the final floor in pikmin 2 was scary as heck

When I was young I couldn't play OoT past the child link part because the redeads scared me too much... I started a new file every time I got there.

Then my brothers friend got my file past them and saved. True gaming bro.

I didnt know Pikmin 3 was popular enough to get a sequel, seems like most people didnt give a poo poo about it. Good news though, i had a great deal of fun with the game.
