I think where you went wrong is not playing platformers with the D-pad.

No way I'm playing those with the Vita D-Pad, it sucks lol.
I hate D-Pads that are that bunched up together.

I can't describe just how much I love stupid shit like this in Destiny. Hope they continue to introduce more opportunities for this kind of thing in the social areas.
It's... it's worth playing if you're extremely, extremely patient. I still kind of think the first half is straight-up bad but that second half fucking rocks.

The dpad is like the best thing about the Vita's controls.
Why would I try to convince you to buy something bad? It's a Visual Novel. It's boring. It's too long. It could be edited down to half the length and nothing would be lost.
Watch the anime instead. It's better and it won't take you nearly as long.

Why have them work on games that super bombed like Prey and Dishonored 2 when Bethesda can use that sweet, sweet Nintendo money to keep the studio afloat? I wonder if it would be the France or US team? Probably France, right?
The multiplayer is a separate download on Switch, so now it's better than Hitman. Unless you download it. Then it's bad again.

I'm surprised you haven't read it already tbh.
Hah, the anime is significantly worse and uglier.

Oh shit, I just burned myself!
I will never, never, understand the people that say that camera in the game is fine.
Just beat the World 3 boss in Rabbids; just barely got a perfect too thanks to
Beyond being a cool boss conceptually the combat in that fight was actually pretty cool as well.
him turning to shoot apparently catching Luigi's overwatch on the last possible turn after I left him with a small amount of health; glad I popped that even though I thought it wouldn't work, wow.

Ok.
I think this is where we'll have to agree to disagree.
It's ok whippy. One day you'll come to the winning side!
You were peer pressured into liking Mario games at the time....

Every time I think they've gotten all the bad stuff out of the way in mario sunshine, and every time the bad just keeps coming.
It's starting to remind me how much I hated that game. I do remember liking the jetpackless challenges, but even for some of those there's bullshit you have to get there and redo every game over.

All I remember clearly when it comes to my thoughts while playing it as a kid is being frustrated by the secret levels. I don't know if I ever got deep into the more annoying Shines though; I know I never even beat the game.
Going by some stuff I found a week or two ago (read: a super informal poll I found in an old GameFAQs thread) they've still got some notable bullshit to deal with.
Maybe I should mark those levels in the spreadsheet? Hmm.

Partly because you weren't playing it 1 to 2 hours a nice a week and even then only 25 percent of the time, so the controls weren't so wonky for you, and you could skip the bullshit shines you really didn't need to get.

Nvm. Podcast feed updated.
I skimmed through a few sources and marked the levels that seem to be considered hard in the doc.
They're gonna have fun with the rest of Noki Bay and Pianta Village, neither of which I remember particularly well.
That lilypad stage seems particularly notorious to the point that I wonder if it'll take multiple episodes.

They have to do 8 out of the 11 that got 2 votes or more. I bet they'll especially hate the Fluff Festival Coin Hunt. Finding hard to find red coins isn't exactly their specialty.
Plus other not hard but really dumb stuff like King Boo Down Below.
That's the list, yeah (plus some other article I found). They haven't done Scrubbing Sirena Beach or The Red Coin fish either.
(It should be noted that some of Corona Mountain's votes were apparently due to its blue coins, but still.)
It's here; I first posted it on the last page.
I'll be updating it every episode.
The more I think about it the more I sorta would like to track things bet by bet too, since that'd be cool to have a record of, but that'd require the series running long enough that I have the time to rewatch and I don't know if that'll be the case.
Also just finished D2, and long story short, agree pretty much entirely with DM here.Just finished Destiny 2.
lmao at that final mission and boss. Campaign starts out strong and ends in a MEH kind of way with a big ass cliffhanger(not surprisingly). It has a few good moments though here and there but nothing worth writing home about. I also didn't care about anyone or anything in the game because if you didn't read on the lore like me and dropped hard off D1, get prepared to be disappointed because the game explains nothing nor does it recap you on anything save for some throwaway lines about the traveler.
Biggest positives for me are the soundtrack, art direction and gameplay. The gameplay itself doesn't save the game when you're playing alone though because there's nothing for you to get invested in and thus it just feels like you're going through the motions. Especially since the game isn't particularly something new, unlike when the first game released. Like the game is in some weird limbo state of not feeling like a full on sequel but also not feeling like an expansion since it's bigger then that, it's sort of in the middle. It does have a great amount of post game content for you to do but as I said, doing it alone just feels boring because you have no investment in the world. You'll care more about how your character looks than whatever the fuck is happening with the traveler or Lance Reddick.
To conclude, this won't have the same impact that Destiny 1 had because it does a poor job of fleshing out what it's all about and instead gives you cookie cutter characters wrapped around an interesting world that feels impenetrable to anyone who wasn't all about the grimoire cards or whatever. I also find it disappointing that it doesn't explain to you some of the important game systems that benefits the fuck out of you like weapon fusions, weapon mods, materials found on certain planets and so on and so forth. Like some of it is buried under sub menus and shit. It just feels like an oversight when they should've done more I felt. They are moving on the right path but they're not completely there and at this point I don't know if doing a third game will get them there since at times it just feels like they're cramming too much shit in there without taking the time to flesh anything out. I guess get the game if you only care about LOOT, want to play with friends or if you want the perfect podcast game.
Like, there's a hint of "coming-together-ness" towards the end but
oh well,
no consequences, no anything. No character development, no changing of the status quo; the fucking closest thing to that is the person who was spurned by the Vanguard being called "Guardian" and that could be good or bad or mean three different things.

Didn't Brad say that the ending of Destiny 2 is one of the best things ever?

Achievements were always he worst! Embrace your Passiveness!
It reminds me most of Mass Effect 2:
there's a two-second long shot of a pyramid surrounded by smaller pyramids in space turning towards the Traveler's Galactic Ping.
Except...it's like end of ME2 without the setup of the previous two games to carry it.
Edit: Honestly it's actually super lame and it would be saccharine if the cinematic direction had any weight to it. It's straight-up less fucking stupid than D1 but still, Christ.

The bubblegumness was definitely there and is it he best descriptor for it but it isn't the bubblegum hellscape I imagined after reading this. It isn't unpleasantly strong.
I mean...OK, but that's not the same as
the standing shadow over the first Mass Effect, the conversation with Sovereign, the constant Collectors weighing on you in ME2, the Prothean and "DIRECT CONTROL" twists, and the kind of tolerable fight with baby human Reaper.

hmmm
but Mass Effect ended with Andromeda. As long as Destiny never ends with their own Andromeda, I can fairly say Destiny will always do it better than ME.

Destiny 1 was Andromeda before Andromeda.
With a dash of Borderlands 2 added to the second.
I cannot believe how much unnecessary snark and smarm is in this. The whole thing sound like someone had really good microphones set up while they recorded their DnD campaign, and since this is Space Fantasy they didn't even have to change any proper nouns.
Cayde, Asher, and FUCKING Failsafe
It's fucking mind-boggling.
I only got like five hours into ME:A but that one cutscene of the bad guy imitating and trying to learn how to interact with that Totally-Not-Prothean interface by mimicking Totally-Not-Shepard (or someone else who fucking knows)? That's better than anything in Destiny 2. Easily.
