Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Astro Bot

I understand why people have it for their GOTY but I wish it was a bit more difficult or more exploration focused like their Christmas level. I didn't love this game nearly as much as Playroom and I was really excited for this

@Kira_Moonvalley This was quite literally me. I know the game is good but something about it felt off where I didn't enjoy myself nearly as much in comparison. In Astro's Playroom I had loads of fun. Part of the fun from Astro's Playroom I think might be part of my enjoyment problem is that game was stocked with bots all doing fun and cool animations. I counted in the beach level of Astro's Playroom at least 50 bots in just the first area that are all cool and fun to look at and see all the animations. In Astro Bot there are a total of about 8 bots per level with less in others with there being a focus on platforming rather than sightseeing and a sense of place like the bots in Playroom(sense of place being like there being a reason for them being there rather than it being a dead place made solely for platforming on). Astro's Playroom's levels felt way more alive in comparison to Astro Bot too. The Christmas level dlc in Astro Bot was one of the few levels that felt alive like Playroom.(Sidenote: The most fun I've had in Astro Bot was the Christmas dlc level, others I liked were the first level, the mouse level, the tree level, and the challenge levels.) I also think since Astro Bot had a big focus on platforming rather than platforming/sightseeing in Playroom. Since Astro Bot is focused on platforming its difficulty was too easy in my eyes where you can beat most enemies by punching or lasering mindlessly as well as platforming being really easy making there little to overcome aside from the challenge levels. The platforming in Platroom wasn't very hard either but the sightseeing portion balanced it out where it was still satisfying and fun. Another thing is Astro Bot's music didn't land alot for me. In Astro Bot I really like the music in the first level, the tree level, the festive level and some others, but many of the songs felt kinda offbrand like someone did a song like this theme already but better.(I felt this way with the casino level music compared to Sonic 2's casino song for example) Also I didn't like the hip hop guy in the back of some songs its just not my taste. (Shoutout to GPU song in Playroom its my favorite song of them all) I don't think the game is bad but my enjoyment in comparison was much much less than I would've liked and understand why many people love it but I felt underwhelmed after playing it. After playing the Christmas level in Astro Bot (which I loved) I wish the game had most levels be like that instead of how it was even if there were less levels because of it. It had nice exploration, lots of powerups providing gameplay variety and a dense open level with lots of paths and things to look at and discover and good amount of playtime for it being a small area because of how full it was.

@Stevemalkpus I have Army Men 3d on PS1 my brother has the Army Men collection with Sarges Heroes, Air Attack, and Army Men 3d. We had lots of fun playing these games multiplayer. In Army Men 3d they let you place guards on capture the flag and we would put it to hard mode so the guards were way more effective and it was alot of fun to try and break in to snatch the flag. My brother was so into the game he was trying to find out what the special keys do in multiplayer and trying to find any secrets. We found an out of bounds area where you glitch climb a mountain and past it there was a weapon crate testing zone and a colored key if I remember right. I still wonder what they do if anything or if it was something the devs planned to do then decided not complete but it was mysterious.

@Matroska I trash talk Zelda about its story and one sided conversations with Zelda from Link not talking. How am I supposed to care about their relationship if Link has as much personality as a brick wall? Nintendo games seem to get away with way too much and aren't scrutinized as much as they should be many times.
