@ATaco One thing I don't like is limited timed events where you need to be a certain level to play it. I wish they would just keep all the events available so you don't feel rushed. Some of my favorite events are limited time
Ps3 emulation would open up a whole new realm of compatibility if made possible, I hope they don't give up on it because it would be greatly benificial to everyone if it worked like Ps1 and Ps2 emulation they have now
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
To me the combined setup of being able to buy and subscribe to a service like how Playstation has it is ideal. If they set it up like that instead of the Nintendo approach I think it could be cool
@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.
Despite me not being a big fan of Skyrim but really liking Fallout this could be very cool. Also it would be one of the more deserving of a 1:1 remake than many others
Also Hypercharge really cool my brother also got it since he liked the concept of tiny people in a regular world. The game is very fun and I hope to give it a real go one day
@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.
@QualityGeezer You gotta remember its popular vote and Asia is a huuuuuge portion of the world population. This demonstrates why this kind of voting isn't used in the main Goty choosing process.
I'm happy they are keeping it playable (no need for the dramatic black and white) another game that did this was Darwin Project which had a cool draw of battle royale with a player controlling the arena changes like areas closing, gifting supplies, and putting bounties on players etc.
@Medic_alert Agreed, Super Mario 3d All Stars being limited time on their online store created scalpers and false demand its twisted. I wish people would speak out about those things but Nintendo can do no wrong.
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare The youtuber Maximillian Dood while going over the Game Awards nominees said that if all game awards were based on fan vote every game of the year vote would go to Black Myth Wukong due to their giant population
I haven't played Bloodborne but the worth of a Remaster later down the line selling is improvements. They might be holding out 60fps for remaster or remake so its more likely to sell. Or they don't care
One big gripe I have with COD now is not only are they realeasing skins for cringe crap I don't care to be in the game but also its most certaintly taking up a large chunk of the install size.
Out of all of these I wouldn't even know which to vote for. Sony games have cinematic music which match scenes but it isn't fun to listen to afterwards. I can remember only like 2 songs of the entirety of GOW 2018
@Americansamurai1 It wouldn't surprised me if they release more in some way or another. There is a nice big space opposite of the speedrun challenges for anything else they might want to add.
@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.
I like some of Astro Bot's music alot but some of them weren't that great imo. One section in the Trapped in Time had a 15 second loop of the same music and it drove me crazy!😵💫
I feel for people who don't like Nomura it might be a monkey's paw situation where the Kingdom Hearts series main thing keeping it together is him and him leaving might make it overly kidish or fall apart all together without his direction.
The game feels like a worse, really grindy version of Dragon Quest Builders when playing by yourself. It is a really solid foundation for greatness but the procederal generation makes the world feel pretty empty. The battle bus transportation system helped a bit though.
AI story telling sounds fun to mess around with but replacing hand written work sounds like a dystopian nightmare. I've played Deus Ex I know where this goes
I like the prospect not so much if its inline with the other Lego games like Indiana Jones, The Lego Movie, etc. But if its more like Lego City Undercover that sounds like alot of fun.
