So I just got a chance to play it and I'm going to have to disagree with Jim on this one. I think Jim was trying to come from the general consumers POV. That would explain the entitled tone.
This well-reasoned review was a joy to read. Somehow still looking forward to playing this, but the review was lovely.
Banjo and Kazooie and other collectathon games are not good games. They are primitive games developed for children. The only people who love them are those whose mommies and daddies would buy them only an N64. Some things should stay in the past.
Wow what an asshole.
Seems about in line with everything I was worried about so I have come to the conclusion that I will wait for a sale on this one. Too bad though.
Basically he can't hack the old school control/camera's and he gave it a 2/10. A bit weird to heavily criticise it over something that it was actually backed for but w/e. I'm pretty sure I'll still like it.
Even Gamespot gave it a 6, my dude. The reason the controls and camera are "old school" is because we've since figured out how to develop better features in modern games. Some old school things should stay in the past where they belong. Shit controls and camera are not features.
Damn Jim, but you gave Zelda a 7 and that's the worst game ever.... Wish I hadn't kickstarted this turd
Thank god for Jim
Welp... let's hope Playtonic at least attempts to patch the game...
Thanks for the review Jim, saved me 30 euros! Any chance you're going to review Snake Pass in the future?
Snake pass is a fantastic game. I've made it to the third area (7 hours in) so far and still love it. I have issues with the grip button forcing Noodle to let go, but I'm probably not using it right. This forces me to either take things slow or work on my speed run strategies, both of which are enjoyable in their own way. Environmental design-10 Character design-10 Music-8 Gameplay-9 Overall, I would give it a 9. I haven't had this much fun looking for collectibles in a platformer since Mario Sunshine.
Jim could you post the google archive thing again?
Thank god for cloudflare's always online feature allowing me to surf a snapshot of the site! (except it doesn't)
the review is not on the snapshot, but earlier ones like persona 5 are. So there is a snapshot.
Awwwwww :( Really hope this ends up being one of those times that I disagree with Jim.
Same. Looked like a promising game so I backed it.
Jim feed the hampster that keeps your site up.
Sites down, everyone is crowding the town square to watch the execution...
aaaand we crashed the site :(
Hmm backed it on kickstarter. Shame it's that bad, it's a risk I took though and I did it for a low price. Them asking 59.99 is an insult now...
