spatular

Yeah been playing this too, agree it looks really nice, its pretty relaxing to play most of the time (except some bits where i kept falling or getting the line stuck in something). For me its a bit like journey, which i similarly quite enjoyed but didnt think it was amazing. Its a pleasant game.

Yeah stupid feedback suveys

^ yeah think its UE4 they went to, i read it was to increase the stage lengths. People seem to want more realism so i guess it was something requested a lot. Think i prefer shorter/medium stages myself.

Yeah probably a good plan holding off for now

Well its sort of dirt rally 3. the handling seems good, the tracks seem good, theres lots of tracks and different modes (career, challenges, seasons, timetrial, and more?) and stuff. Sounds good right! Unfortunately Its not without problems mind though not played it loads yet, lots of tearing and sort of hitching, well seems to vary by track, or at random, sometimes can be quite bad, sometimes not too bad. There was a patch that maybe improved things a little (definitely still has tearing) but too early to say how much really. and also having steering wheel problems (thats the wheels fault not the games fault though). seems less hardcore than the dirt rally games, in dirt rally you never really want to cut, in this off track is less deadly, although you can still slide into a ditch and get a dnf. i like the pace notes, although they always throw some late ones at you these are a bit more simple so easier to understand imo compared to the last rally game i played which was wrc generations iirc. oh yeah this is made by the dirt rally team apparently, the previous wrc game lost the rights to EA who now own codemasters, so this is now EA WRC or something. The other wrc games were good so thats a shame if they arent making more without a licence, although maybe they will i dont know? the graphics, on console, are not great, apparently it looks good if you have a 4090! Im not too bothered about the graphics as long as it plays well but it seems like a noticeable downgrade there from dirt rally 2, so worth mentioning i think. i think theres a lot of potential here for a great game once patched up a bit, maybe already great if you can look past the tearing etc. i want to reserve judgement ill ive played it some more. anyone else getting it?

^ yeah good point, is tempting!

I keep being tempted to get one, thought this would be a good time if ever but then realise the cheap one i would have got isnt getting the upgrade so back to probably not getting one, was exciting for a few mins

Yeah have been doing the new license tests, i always liked those for some reason.

Jet set radio, rez, wind waker, cyberpunk, sure im forgetting some. Agree with hifi rush too.

Ive got that shin godzilla on blu ray i think … yeah: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shin-Godzilla-Blu-ray-Hiroki-Hasegawa/dp/B074JS9QJC/

Well jelly of the analogue pocket and sea captain kirby

Yeah it would be good if it notified you if you have something installed that is leaving soon or something like that. I usually get this info from the helpful people who post it here and a similar thread on rllmuk.

Yeah ill get it when its cheaper too. can still play the xbla version on modern xbox as its backwards compatible fyi.

Completely unrelated this was on my youtube recommendations at the weekend

^ had no idea about that because i chose a different option in the story, its sort of annoying how phantom liberty makes you wait between missions or id have tried to get some more endings

Yeah could be asking for a for a fortnite/epic account like you say i think that sounds plausible, if so they might be able to skip that bit (if skipped it will probably create a headless account), or just create an account.

finished this now, its really awesome at times, some of the cool stuff you can do is pretty amazing, some really cool bits with the bike and Super difficult still so can be pretty annoying. think a bit easier than the first game though. took about 19 hours and i estimate around 1900 deaths! On pc it was crashing on a boss fight, changing to dx11 fixed it. so yeah totally awesome to the max but also there is some pain that comes with it.

Yeah i read it might block some of the brook adapters, which could be pretty crappy.

think my favourites are wave race 64, pikmin, mario kart, zelda twilight princess, jungle beats.

Theres a demo apparently if anyone wants to try it, and apparently in the demo theres a motorbike section, took me ages to get to this in the full game but just got hold of the motorbike last night and really enjoyed that bit. edit - the first bike bit was great, then it gets to a more open world which i was not expecting, not sure what i think to it yet, did find a race/challenge thing which was cool though.

its just like the first game really, so to avoid explaining it again: yeah its frustrating and annoying but also really good. Recommended. At the start the platforming was a bit easy but the combat was super difficult, so i was hoping the platforming would get a bit more involved and the fighting would get easier, but what happened was it got a lot more difficult, should have expected that. Theres a new bit where you walk around a base and talk to people inbetween levels which is a bit odd but doesnt take long. Graphics are nice and performance is good, and the music is good too. So yeah if you like the first one, or thought neon white was too easy, you might like this. anyone getting it?

Think ive done everything im going to do now, done all the levels i can and got all the seeds. Think there might be a few levels hidden behind stuff i cant be bothered with like one badge is still locked too. yeah it was good fun.

Oh yeah i forgot to mention the badges. The badges are cool, they give you special powers (can only use one at a time), ranging from small things like a mushroom at the start of every stage, or a higher jump, to a sort of I like that you could try these to help make a stage a bit easier rather than going straight for one of the invincible characters. also saw the credits last night but theres still quite a few levels i havent done, especially the ones in the

I still want to get it too but will wait till its cheap or something, shame it sounds a bit botched.

Seems pretty good. initially was a bit disapointed as its more like a traditional mario game than i was expecting, thats on me as i only watched the first trailer and thought it was going to be even more crazy. Anyway, it is a somewhat crazy and pretty cool! Been really enjoying it. i want some flowers like that in real life that give me some encouragement and stuff. the crazy bits are a bit hit and miss, well hit and less of a hit as some are a lot of fun and others are less so, wouldnt say anything has been bad so far. the levels are rated for difficulty, the hardest one ive done was 5 stars, dont know if it goes higher, but that level was really hard but i enjoyed it too. i dont like the old style lives system, although to be fair running out of lives wasnt as annoying as i was expecting. the graphics are nice. So far its probably up there with my favourite 2d mario game - the wii u one - was sort of hoping a bigger 2d mario fan would start the thread but here we are! seen a few people got it in the pics thread, how you guys getting on with it?
