Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

i mean, i don't think so, it's pretty much just a gamble the whole time

Tried to play it with a group last night and it just wasn't fun and took forever. Animations are tiresome and abundant, too many dynamics going on, item store, just takes forever to get going and didn't feel accessible at all. Awful joycon controls

I get some/all of these ~features~ may have been in the game before, and maybe my opinion is bad & alone, but the game just sucks through and through imo

I think there's one music note puzzle that requires you do this and I hated it. I couldn't get the analog stick alternative to work reliably at all.

The one I never bothered to finish, among the many I probably didn't find, was the one that has you running downhill along the edge of the Forest Kingdom. A misstep would either land you in the abyss or at the start so trying to get back to the beginning of those notes was a pain in the rear end, so I just stopped. Another reason I hated that Kingdom, whose saving grace, as I've said before, was it's incredibly good music.

If you don’t have people who want to play then don’t get it. Don’t get it if you need to spend more money either. Lots of good games coming on the Switch, PC and elsewhere (or recently came out) that are a better choice. For 60 dollars it’s priced too high in my opinion, a good deal would be 40-50 which you’ll be able to get within a month or two.

Luck based elements are fine to have in what's supposed to be a silly party game, but the bonus stars really make it feel like nothing you do in the game matters at all.

They are. Toad picks random criteria for bonus stars. Toad can even award "The player to beat most minigames" in a team match where you only played team games, so the chosen team gets 2 stars off that alone.

"The player to activate the most events" going to three players out of four is also a favourite.

If they have conditions they by definition can’t be random.

If you know what all the possible bonus stars are (there's usually 6 and it picks 3 randomly) you can work towards trying to fulfill the conditions if you want to.

I read that as there being a bunch of different criteria bonus stars, and Toad picks at random from those options. E;fb like so:

SMP Toad picks two conditions out of a hat at random.
There may be a reward for the most coins, or there may be one for sticking with an ally, or using the most items, or moving the most, or moving the least, having the most events or whatever...

Huh I had no idea they added so many more for this one. In that case I agree it kinda sucks.

From what I'm finding on google there may be as many as 10 or more possibilities and some (like most or least traveled spaces) are directly contradictory. That's lame

That's Mario Party for ya.

Though it does remind me of the time where I- as Monty Mole- used a Gold Pipe to yank the star away from Peach, then immediately after hired Lakitu to steal the one she had on hand.

I had four stars at the end of the match.

You can change it now in Fortnite to work more like how Splatoon does it. It lets you choose between yaw or roll gyro.

That's actually a toggle setting, now. You're describing roll, which is great for handheld and sometimes pro controller, but you can switch it to yaw, which is what I have it set for my joycons.

Yeah this. Anytime I see complaints about fortnite gyro, i just assume they haven't touched it since there devs started messing with it. It's really good now. I even play with no aim assist for better accuracy, since auto aim makes it harder to lead shots.
Oh cool thanks for the info, I'll be sure to check it out

How is Mario party with controllers? My guest controllers are some third party ones with no motion sensors, would it be a good idea to get some more joycons for it.
