Is Retro actually making a star fox racer or is that a rumor we're running with, I'm too tired to figure this poo poo out.

It’s a rumor but it seems like a pretty credible one from people in the know.

I'm curious about it if it ends up being true, would it be some mix of wipeout and mario kart? That could be fun. Maybe they'd make use of the spaceship aspect more and it'd be a kind of aerial racer, that'd be pretty cool too

I've never played a Star Fox game so the 'branding' means nothing to me but Retro has a pretty interesting track record

You should play 64. It holds up pretty well if you like arcade shooters. The 3DS has a good remake of it.

That's pretty much in line with their past DLC practice, I remember getting individual new characters for 7 or 8 with continuum shift that ended up being in the base game in the next version.

At any rate the season pass is $20, so worst case for the base game+DLC you're looking at $70. $60 with the prime discount.

edit: Also the other two RWBY characters and the first round of DLC is free on release. The RWBY ones are free permanently

edit2: I understand why people were salty when the game was initially announced when they thought half the RWBY cast was gonna be paywalled, but they aren't. It's a new game, and frankly I don't think that a $20 season pass is that much of an ask. :shrug:

I've beaten them all and yeah it's probably the hardest one just because there are very very few places in the stage where you can stop moving and catch a breath without dying . Awesome level though, look up speedruns for it lol

The window for a good bounce is very tight and its easy to feel like the game hosed you out of one at any point in that level for an instant death

The only thing about Runner3 that I'm not super keen on is that it seems to be also a rhythm game? I'm not a big fan of the platforming being based around the music. Runner 3 does look more up my alley though yeah

It only incidentally follows the rhythm, it's not actually a rhythm game. Though the beat will help you time certain actions, the obstacles or gold will be what triggers you to jump/slide/deflect

You'll probably play a level a few times to plot the best route if there is gold that you missed, and other secrets

Do I have to find the secret exits, as well? I have one zone that I have all the KONGs but nothing opened up. I'm guessing I missed a secret exit?

You need to find KONG in every level of every world, including the secret levels (secret exits themselves are unnecessary, unless they're the only way to reach a level). Doing so unlocks the K level for that world, and completing all of *those* levels unlocks an additional world at the end of the game.

Yup, that's the one. Must have taken me 50 balloons, easy.

edit: Probably should have waited to do it last since nothing else really stacks up. But I set out to do all the worlds as I came to them so I guess it's alright.

Improbable Lobster posted:

The game ships with 20 characters, and there's another 20 for $20. I don't know about you or anyone else but I'm pretty much totally unfamiliar with Under Night and Persona, and I'm happy with the picks they made from Blazblue, especially since Litchi, Arakune, and Carl are all absent. Most of the cast might as well be new to me so... like... I guess I don't really care? It really doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

I can't wait. Really hope they take some queues from Splatoon and have a good ranked/ladder MP mode because I can see myself getting extremely competitive with this. The super meter and different moves per character makes it feel like Tennis + Fighting Game

Donkey Kong talk: puffer fish was the easiest of the bosses. The bosses are long and boring and drag the game down.

The only hard parts of the game are the last boss and the secret levels. The normal game is fine, you have unlimited lived.

The soundtrack is like the first game but not as good. Found DKC to be more atmospheric. And harder. But I've enjoyed my time with it! It's just not worth $60 I reckon. Too short.
