Quote from ryu:

the level design is really straightforward. the galaxy games felt a bit more open and i loved that

what ... the reality is the opposite

galaxy has some of the most linear level design in the series

I remember a lot of the levels were very linear, but there's a bunch that are somewhat open and those really stand out in my memory.

Got Tales of Berseria and Valkyria Revolution for X-Mas. Haven't played a Tales game since Vesperia in 2015 so it's a bit of an itch to scratch.

Haven't played any of the real Valkyria games so I don't care that this one's from a different genre.

Strange. I seem to remember loving the exploration element of the galaxy games a lot. Sure there were levels that had point-of-no-return places in them where you couldn't go back, and there were levels where something forced you to keep moving throughout the level, but other than that you could explore all you wanted. I never felt like I couldn't.

wooooah I managed to buy a majora's mask link amiibo from amazon jp. only 12 fucking euros.

Even with shipping and import duties it's cheaper than buying in germany.

news sounded terrible until i watched the video. that actually looks neat and just might go well with kids.

from an adult perspective it's good for kids so they learn some handcrafting and develop motor skills. seems like a great present if your only plays videogames

i'll probably check out detective pikachu too just because pokemon is one of the only series i totally fanboy over

i might get the variety pack depending on the quality of the games. if the racing game is good, that alone might make me get it

I probably wouldn't buy Labo but I think it's perfect for today's younger generation. They like to play with shit for a short while and then move on, and these labo toys are disposable, which appeals to their environmentally conscious ideals. So they can be entertained with each new creation and then just toss it and make the next one when they get bored. If nintendo can just keep making more to keep these kids busy then I think they'll make a lot of money on Labo.
