Yeah the 3D effect in Mario 3D land is super great. It looks fantastic and actually adds to the gameplay. The only Mario games in the last decade that rival 3D land are the Galaxy games.

SoR Blaze posted:Far Cry New Dawn is better than Far Cry 5 by virtue of being less game overall. beyond the cynical hot take that less bad game is always good I think new dawn actually is a better game because it's less bloated and doesn't overstay its welcome. a typical farcry game doesn't really have anything more to offer, just more of the same pasted onto more samey camps

Olaf The Stout posted:It's not? Seemed like this was heavily teased from the marketing. I haven't played farcry 5 yet. I figure they were doing a Rockstar-esque creating controversy for the sake of publicity, but it was heavily implied that it was a white evangelical cult. The promo shot they had was the last supper homage with the leader and his family, pretty much just saying white evangelicals. Right as the game starts up, you are sure that is not the case, it's not christian, it's not white supremacy, it's just a (possibly) magical cult. I'd be more interested in the former than the latter. https://www.polygon.com/2018/3/27/17165252/far-cry-5-story-characters I know it's Polygon, but there were a lot of articles at the time, and this one sums up how I feel as well.

Assist African despots in style with the new Jeep Liberty. It's 3.6L Pentastar V6 and luxurious interior will make even the most aggresive guard posts a breeze*! *Prior results no guarantee of future performance. But yeah they had Wranglers too, and one mission I believe you could even subvert in order to get a blinged out, gold-grilled Liberty as the reward. I have no idea who the hell in Chrysler thought that was a good idea, but it's good for people who need(?) to simulate vehicular homicide by Jeep.

Jeep Liberty, when you need to run over the same guards you just ran over 2 minutes ago and 2 minutes before that.

That started with Donkey Kong 64 which even 20 years ago was too much (and was called on at the time). It was like Rare decided to gently caress with people by having you run through levels FIVE TIMES with five different characters for 100% plus a camera that was broken if you ever tried to walk on a narrow platform.

And having to beat the original donkey Kong twice, with one of those attempts being on one life, to actually beat the game. Some of the core gameplay was a lot of fun, and I remember liking the boss battles, but gently caress that game was overstuffed. Jet Force Gemini was also pretty over the top, but that only had three characters and the shooter gameplay kept things moving a bit more.

Jfg at least had the decency to have the collect a thon start after you go through all the worlds once and see the majority of the game by that point unlike dk64 which made running through the levels with everyone pretty much mandatory to progress

Oh I know DK 64 sucks once the intro rap song ends, it was one of the first games I traded into a shop for something better. Banjo Tooie alone still has at least two sets of collectibles, one character to swap to, and another one to transform the main character into different forms, but at least you only had to get most of the collectibles to get to the end and not all. Still a lot of poo poo that I don't want to trudge through again and a big reason why I never played Conker's Bad Fur Day and just watched the cutscenes on the internet years ago. Strip away the shock humor and it's functionally the same as Kazooie. Jet Force Gemini's main problem is finding a control scheme that isn't awkward as poo poo to use. No idea if that got fixed for Rare Replay.

I also like dk64 enough to beat it multiple times. Theres a lot of really fun stuff in it. And beaver bother. Chunky Kong was cliche but deserved better than being forgotten with Lanky.

The YouTube guy that reviews games sitting on a yoga ball did a really good review of rdr2 It's got easily the best story and characters in any video game, and the world itself is unbelievably well crafted. Almost every new system that is introduced works well. But, the core game is rockstar standard fare and it's really starting to show.

I used to feel it was an unpopular opinion but it turns out I was just part of the silent majority; Shenmue games are bad and the majority of consumers dont want them.

Rare did a lot for the N64's popularity after all. It wasnt terrible at the time; nobody had two sticks then and the only twin stick shooters in that console generation was a mode approximately 0 people used in Goldeneye and an Aliens Resurrection game for the PS1 that also supported mouse input. I think the reappreciation of Rare games that era is people goin "I dont only own an N64 and must defend all my choices to the death anymore"

Smash bros and Mario Kart where all solid entries in their series. Not that I'd go and install a n64 emulator to play those anymore, but then that can be said about almost all old console gaming: almost everything good has already been rehashed for the contemporary systems.

The final boss of DK64 was actually pretty fun too, almost enough to forget how tedious everything between that and the DK Rap was. I feel like that game kinda killed collectathons and Banjo-Tooie was a conscious move away that was almost more Metroidvania. I did like in lategame you could travel between almost all of the worlds without touching the hub.
