they are worse than microtransactions because if had wanted an in game thing I would have needed to buy a lovely toy to get it

they are better because that same price buys you the thing in multiple games instead of just one

Also, they are objectively not lovely, but it's OK if you don't like little statues of game things.

that's their MO, they're onto the next accessory/gimmick/toy as soon as their latest one is pushed out to stores.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
You can also get around it using various sorts of tags or whatever.

Of course that means you go to Amiibo Jail like Dr Tim Whatley did when they used a pirated Amiibo. Legends say if you listen closely to the bottom of a Mario amiibo, you'll hear the words "Stardew when" echo through your skull.

If I were to ever pirate Amiibo I could never look my Mario Amiibo in the eye again.

It's bad enough that I can't look my Bowser and Peach Amiibo in the eye due to Bowsette.

I would do it, but I do own a Link's Awakening amiibo. My first and last unnecessary video game paraphernalia aside from too many controllers. He's the perfect desk ornament, though it did get my partner to roll her eyes at me.

if you think that's bad, I can only imagine the shame that one Destructoid writer feels after he ranked each amiibo for its but plug capabilities

Wario never had a chance

Paper Mario looks kind of neat. Think I'll wait for reviews, but the battle system looks more engaging than Sticker Star's or Color Splash's at least.

TheKingofSprings posted:

Posting from a page or two back but it's really not actually that creative because they've played the paper gimmick to death at this point and this is just more of that

The former wrestling champ who was secretly draining the energy of everybody he signed up for example was loads more creative

I like the rubber band boss since it has a unique design, but that's about it. The rest are literally just office supplies.

I think I've asked this thread before, but are you guys unable to parse if you'd enjoy a game and its mechanics from gameplay clips? Like most of us, I've been playing video games for over 20 years now (this is not something to be proud of) so it's not exactly a difficult mental ask. My interpretations when looking up new games to play are usually pretty spot on for myself. Being surprised to find out otherwise is nice but this is pretty rare.

What I'm saying is turn on your monitor

If you look at 20 seconds of game footage and instantly assume you know everything about how the game plays you are wrong. A lot of gameplay does not show either good or bad elements of a game in pre-release material, nor does it actually express how it feels in context.

Most likely you are not buying games you think suck and thus are more likely to play things you think look good or because you've decided something is bad you will be more negative to it after spending $60 on it to... I don't know, be snarky on the internet?

i can tell if a game is good or bad from a single screenshot. if there is a viable hex grid my mind if made up.

I was all but ready to preorder the new Paper Mario until it was pointed out that weapon degradation was a thing. That may have (debatably) worked in Breath of the Wild, but that doesn't mean it needs to be in every game, and in fact, that sort of thing is part of what eventually put me off of the newest Animal Crossing. As far as Origami King is considered, I'm just gonna wait for reviews. It still looks better than the last couple, though.
