I’m about 5 hours in. I’ve 100%’d the opening stage and I just completed my first night mission. I’m loving it so far but have forced myself to take a break. It’s been 10 years since Pikmin 3. I really need to savor this.
Didn’t get it. Still chugging through TOTK
It’s my first Pikmin that I really gave a proper go.
So far I don’t understand how you can be a diehard Pikmin fan.
To me, all it has got is great animations and graphics, but the gameplay is mind numbingly easy and lacks variety, even after 2 hours.
I believe it is a great kids game with it’s style and easy to pick up gameplay, but it doesn’t hold my attention for long.
Definitely will be going back to Zelda or Persona 5 where it felt effortless to put 150 hours into between the both of them so far.
I’m loving it, though it’s not as fun as Pikmin 3 Deluxe was. My husband and I played co-op and we dandori’d the fuck out of that game, it was awesome. For 4 we’re taking turns doing a day/night each, haven’t tried the “co-op” yet because it sounds incredibly lame.
Oatchie makes the game so much easier. For better and worse, but I think more better than worse, I basically just treat him as a noble steed to take advantage of not having to worry about stragglers.
I’m enjoying it now, but the tutorial and day 1 were a struggle. The hand-holding was unbearable to me. You get dialogue and tutorial every 5 seconds of gameplay 😭 It was definitely not fun, and I kept wishing there was a “leave me alone” mode. I don’t remember if Pikmin 3 had this much hand-holding. But I pushed through it and now it’s fun. I haven’t played that many hours yet, but it seems quite fun so far. I’ll play more during the weekend and hopefully forget about how annoyed I felt during the first hour or so of playing it.
Really enjoying it so far - about an hour of tutorial, then straight into it. Cleared the first area, and now I have theories about the leafling (not gonna elaborate because I dunno how to spoiler tag on Lemmy) and a deep love of everything Oatchi represents
