  • Ehhhh it's cool that this is a feature, but boy did it look laggy.

  • This actually looked really cool. An open world and seamless transition between maps is something I'd never had expected to see from a Mario Kart game.

  • But is that anything new either? I'm not sure I've ever seen Nintendo promoting specs since the N64.

  • Hmm I'm not sure I follow the author's argument here. Nintendo hasn't been trying to keep up with the power of Xbox or PS consoles for years, that's nothing new. But the Switch 2 is essentially a Switch with some upgrades and... better specs. If they'd 'moved beyond specs' then they'd have no need for a new Switch model.

  • I thought both games were excellent, but yes there was definitely something about BOTW that set it apart. In addition to what you've said, I think it's partially that BOTW was such a unique experience the first time through - little things like the stamina meter for climbing, the cooking to help you craft items that warm you up etc. Discovering these features and setting off in whichever direction you fancied was a joy. TOTK didn't have this same joy, as I already knew about these mechanics. And it felt like there was much more of a push to get the player to go in a specific direction, rather than leaving the exploration up to them.

    I reckon they probably did the best job they could've with a sequel, but it was never going to be possible to live up to BOTW.

  • It's a pokemon eat pokemon world out there...

  • I haven't played a Pokemon game since Sword and Shield, but it looks like they're doing some interesting new stuff here and shaking up the battle system. I'm quietly optimistic!

  • I also have a Libra 2 and it's great! Nice size screen and very lightweight. Just to note as the OP asked for colour, the Libra 2 is B&W but they now do Libra and Clara colour versions :)

  • Good dopamine I guess, and I've found the collection side of things to be fun. But I could never understand why someone would spend £18.49 (!!) to get a 'rare' card that doesn't really exist. I'd never spend any money on this game.

  • Damn that was excellent, great points from Cowboy.

    Perfectly sums up this whole, sad phenomenon of people getting angry about nothing.

  • Hey he asked nicely

  • It's so weird. Because it has a black protagonist and isn't 'historically accurate'? In a game series in which a fictional secret society of assassins controls the world?

    I've seen some hate on Lemmy too. Is there a legit reason to hate Ubisoft or is it mostly just terminally online losers scared of 'wokeness'?

  • I'm out of the loop here - why is this game getting so much hate? Reviews seem ok?

  • Glad to see this game mentioned! I played it last year and it was pure fun throughout. Super charming

  • Do 4D beings have 3D puzzles that would have the same issue for us? 🤔

  • Thanks for the write up! I haven't played this one before, but clearly it's well regarded so I'll give it a go :)

  • Oh what I'm referring to was nothing like that. Drag was straight up telling the user to kill themselves and such. There was no room for misunderstanding.

    I don't have screenshots unfortunately and now the community/user is gone.

    @Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com might be able to provide proof (if you're comfortable doing this of course Draconic, no pressure)

  • Ughh yeah the metroids you mentioned were such a pain. If I remember correctly there was an annoyingly long section you had to climb up whilst fighting those things.

    I'm playing through Persona 3 Reload. Has been nearly two months since I started it at this point but I am really enjoying it, and the characters are great.

    I've just started playing Super Mario Wonder on the Switch (a Valentine's Day present from my partner). It's excellent! Such a fresh take on the Mario formula. I never know what to expect going in to each level (singing piranha plans?) but it's left me smiling each time :3

  • Just in case anyone wasn't aware, Drag created a community on two occasions called Fuck Draconic NEO with multiple posts telling that user to kill themselves and questioning their gender identity.

  • Oh I missed that! But wait, where you can buy half an avocado? Why would you only want half?
