Instead, we've got MegaMan and ProtoMan racing cars in Sonic Crossworlds.

But one could dream. That sounds like a fun idea.

It's a pretty low price already, and I personally think the devs deserve it. Hope you enjoy!

I get the inherent value people attach to it, but after having it several times (I'd have it for a month or two and then drop it for like, a year), I would never go back to it even if it still seemed like a good deal.

For an app developed by Microsoft and working on a PC, it has some awful pathing, and I lost saves and had issues launching games on multiple occasions. Tried many fixes and it never worked out. Some games would work for me, others wouldn't. So for me, since it felt like a toss up to get a game to work, it was pointless.

Not that you'll see this, but I mean that you're being incredibly rude, argumentative and a bully towards them. You can disagree with someone without being a dick about it. This Lemmy instance is becoming more like the reddit game subreddit by the day, I swear.

You've been on lemmy for a day and have replied to this post bashing the OP like 5 times. Relax.

Was excited about it until I saw the price. Now I'm just a bit sad.

Demo was fun, though.

I've spoken to others about this subject due to this and none of them have reflected the comments here. I don't even know most of the people I posed the question to. I suppose this forum (and the forums or social media these posters frequent) hold their opinion as more of a fact than I was led to believe.

Regardless, everyone can feel how they want about this. I'll just play Silksong and have fun on my end of the table.

I think I approached the discussion wrong and perhaps wasn't voicing what I was thinking properly. Regardless, I'm clearly not in the majority of opinion, so I'd like to just bow out of this discussion and wish everyone has the fun that they want to have.

I haven't gone out of my way. While I haven't used the word "fun", I did say I enjoyed most runbacks in Dark Souls as a sort of puzzle. Being downvoted for a subjective opinion is absurd, especially when the person I'm responding to also has a subjective opinion. But nice to know my opinion has less value.

Anyway, I don't really want to go in circles with this since I feel like both sides here have said what they want to say.

I'll just leave with an example of a mechanic I find unfun and wish would go away, as a sort of olive branch of understanding that opinions are opinions. In Breath of the Wild and similar games, I hate the weapon/item degradation mechanic. I understand their design goals with it, and I understand how removing it from those games would change quite a bit of how they want the game to run, but I'd be much happier if it were to disappear completely.

You're getting voted up for your opinion, and I'm getting down for mine. Strange. Things you say are unfun for you are fine for me, like I said in my post, I do believe it's personal opinion.

I'm not denying that there has to be design intent in here, but I take great issue with people stating "runbacks are unfun" as a matter of fact. Again, if it's taken into consideration with time and how the boss mechanic works, that's simply how the game is designed. I respect everyone's opinion and their thoughts being the opposite, but I don't think it's a universal truth that must be upheld with every game.

Again, maybe I'll feel differently regarding Silksong specifically as I get further. So far I don't take umbrage with it's runback design.

I can't say I've gotten to some of the examples people have mentioned as "annoying; bad design", so I'll leave judgement until I get there. But there's nothing inherently wrong with runbacks if it's part of the design and the boss is the culmination of that.

Stakes of Marika are definitely there to appeal to a wider audience. I personally don't care for them, as for most areas in DS I enjoyed trying to claw my way back to the boss unharmed. It was like a puzzle.

It's fine to criticise things, but I personally think "make checkpoint outside of the boss" the criticism is not a good one. At the end of the day, that's all personal opinion.

Yea. I wont dismiss this criticism as hate, but I will dismiss it as dumb. The game was designed to be a challenge. Not everyone is up to that challenge, that's fine. The game isn't meant for you, then.

My friend can't play the Dark Souls games. He's really interested in the setting and has given a few multiple attempts, but the difficulty curve just isn't for him, so he just doesn't play them.

I've literally experienced none of what you're saying. Sounds like you need to stop interacting with certain places.

There are even people in here saying the game wasn't for them but they're not being miserable about it.

Who is the miserable one here? You're hoping for people to be disappointed in a game they're excited about. Let them have their fun. If the game isn't for you, no need to hope others don't enjoy it.

It's not their fault way too many people were so obsessed with their game that they made daily shitposts about it.

Honestly I was annoyed by all of the Silksong stuff as well over the years, and perhaps it will be overhyped but after watching the trailer I feel like I can at least say Team Cherry put in the work that got me excited, despite all the internets noise. And why shouldn't they try to get people to buy their game with good PR?

The team is 3 or 4 people and after 7 years of work, they're releasing their sequel game to a beloved by many indie hit for $20. In 2025. We shouldn't be annoyed at them.

I'm not a big TCG player in general. I've dabbled in most of the major ones and I just didn't really have fun. But I've had a lot of fun with the digimon one - looking forward to the app, whenever that is!

No, it happened at the same time, we were just warned in advance. Once again, Canada gets fucked to make things level with American pricing despite our lower dollar.

We've always been affected by American prices of things. Some things fly under the radar and will be slightly cheaper here, but for the most part, the prices here are matched market price of the US, despite having a weaker dollar.

I can't imagine anyone would want to buy new games or old consoles for these insane prices, but then the Switch 2 did crazy numbers, so what the fuck do I know?

I just started Act 3, unaware of the specific changes to the patch, and was surprised when "retry the battle?" Popped up.

Very useful!

I think it's interesting that people have to attach their names and prove they're real to sign this, but serious complaints can be filed anonymously. I'm not European, so does this mean anyone random can file complaints? Or it's done somehow officially, just shows up anonymously?

I'm asking to understand how this works because this could not be the industry entirely.
