Battletoads Review Thread

DjMystix said:
Started it last night. I am kinda enjoying it. The combat feels fairly limited and not as fun as it looks. Especially coming from the excellent Streets of Rage 4. I am liking it but not loving it. Hopefully that will change later.

The lumberjack battle was great fun.
 
Anyone know how long this is? Was hoping to plow through it in a night or two if I can convince friends it's not a waste of time
 
The new Battletoads is like the all female Ghostbusters remake. In the way that both constantly shit on their old fanbase and turns a cold villain into a girl that makes poopy jokes. Just like Ghostbusters!

Battletoads 72 metacritic vs Days gone 71 metacritic ...and yet here we are with Sonygaf pooping on the game.

Right because anyone that doesn't like the flash animation looking reboot has to be part of Sonygaf and not the people that played Battletoads on the nes/genesis. Metacritic is a reliable source of reviews as well yes.

it's also way better than Days Gone too.
imagine a game with a heavy reliance on shooting that has input lag like crazy and really bad aiming in general

I just can't get over the style of this game. Almost anything else would have been better.

Even if they did it in paper Mario style it would be better.

only joke at the fanbase I noticed was when talks down to someone telling her what to wear because they hung out for a bit 20+ years ago.

I know humor is subjective but this is leaps and bounds better then a movie made up of improve stuff. I laughed out loud at some of the murder jokes in act 3.
 
Played it for a bit and yep, it's battletoads. Enjoyable button masher with some fun moves and animations and dialogue. I think the graphics look good, very unique aesthetic on consoles.

Anyone expecting anything groundbreaking...............did they ever play the original battletoads?

Finished it today. I loved it. The game is gorgeous and I thought it was hilarious. Few games have made me laugh out loud as much as this one. The 2 main villains are funny as hell. I also loved the variety of gameplay. Glad I took the time to check it out

Why are people even defending this mediocre game?

Go play flight sim, Spiritfarer, or one of the other high quality releases in recent weeks/months.

Why are you so angry that people are enjoying it? There's no reason people can't enjoy this game along with the others you listed. The best part is it's only 3 hours so still plenty of time to play the recommendations

I didn't say don't enjoy it nor did I say anybody shouldn't enjoy it.

If you're legitimately enjoying it and you're not sat here saying "but this game got this score" and "that game got that score" then what I said doesn't apply to you.

It's nonsense, by all accounts the game could have been better and dragging other similarly scored games into the discussion doesn't change that.

Y..you laugh at Rash having a poopy diaper as well?
 
I'm often reminded how formulaic Microsoft is to this business. It's like, buy a studio, take a beloved franchise, and boom -- another classic. It's the George Steinbrenner model of gaming... spend whatever it takes. Problem is, there were more years than not that the Yankees didn't get a world series ring even in spite of Steinbrenner paying in penalties what other teams did for their entire ball club's salary.

If this shit were that easy, everyone would be doing it. But there is no amount of money that can replace the magic that comes from talent working in synergy. You couldn't buy the team that made the first Halo or Mario 64 or Goldeneye or Gran Turismo any more than you could get four guys, a couple of guitars and a set of drums and get a top ten record. I certainly don't want to dissuade Microsoft from bringing new content out from popular franchises, but more often than not the result is pretty mixed and honestly the money would be better spent elsewhere.
 
This and fall guys, 2 games I wrote off completely turned out to be some of the most fun I have had all year.
 
Fun Saturday morning arcade style game. Think Castle Crashers meets Top Hunter! I think I enjoy the game more than than Streets of Rage. Fun title that doesn't take itself too seriously. The biggest negative for me is no online co-op. Other than that it's a nice surprise!

That feeling when you look in this thread for people talking about how good Battletoads is but instead see people trashing Days Gone for some reason???

That feeling when you're blind to the people (w/ previous offenses) coming into this thread with the sole purpose to shit on this game. And I believe in terms of scoring, Days Gone would be right up it's alley. 72 is clearly a "stinker".

But if I'm not mistaken, there's plenty of people liking it in here. Just as there was for Days Gone. It's clearly a surprise hit with many. But if your eyes somehow deceive you, that's on you.

What are you arguing with or responding to? My problem is unrelated BS entering threads like this, whatever you're trying to do it feels like bait to further derail and I'm not interested.

Honestly it's about as good a Streets of Rage 4. But since it's exclusive to XB/PC it gets shit on.

Ya started playing it with my son and it feels pretty great. Enjoyed SOR4 a lot but thought it's a little overrated. So far this is starting out just as good. We'll see if my opinion changes when I'm done. Then again Im also on the side that's loving the art style
 
Dam MS just can't catch a break. I personally think the remake has some charm.

Though it's not perfect, been waiting for a new battletoads for 25 years man.
 
Sony exclusives have a big cult following, they spam the 10 button on metacritic. The user rating is abnormally high compared to metarcritic review score. Weird.

That's not arguing. I guess my brain was confused as to why you thought no one was talking about the actual game? I mean it was pretty obvious why Days Gone was being included. Sounded like a rhetorical question. *shrug*

Anyways, gonna download this in a couple hours when I get home! Cautiously excited.

I didn't claim no one was talking about the game, I guess I can see the confusion, though... the idea behind my first post was simply that I looked into this thread for reactions and for some reason see "Days Gone suxorz LOL" Not saying no one was giving reactions it just felt like entering a thread for Flight Sim and people are talking about Last of Us II.
