flameboy Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 So since Pikmin 3 was officially announced all I've wanted to do is play that kinda game. I did consider going and buying it for a third time but instead I had a similarish game in Little King's Story and I am about to embark on this merry adventure.
Jonnas Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Well done, good man! (We kinda already have a thread for it, though)
flameboy Posted June 9, 2012 Author Posted June 9, 2012 Well done, good man! (We kinda already have a thread for it, though) Yeah I did know there was already a thread...sure I posted in there before saying I was going to start it and never did.
Fused King Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 It's simply marvelous. And if you say anything bad about it:
Ashley Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 The evil part of me wants to ban Fused from this thread. Make him suffer!
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 You should be ashamed of yourself for not playing this before. What else haven't you played on this delightful system?
Rummy Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 It's good, and a very sort of semi-good choice for a pikminish experience but the links really weak. I think it's AC meets Pikmin meets ultimate charm that places it in a category that doesn't belong anywhere else but you have to describe it as the former aspects just to try and make it make sense on paper, only problem is it only makes sense in LIFE.

Yeah I've now played an hour of it feel likes its Animal Crossing meets Final Fantasy My Life as King with a touch of Pikmin!!! I love it! Really fun and so charming! Can see myself spending a lot of time with it which is the reason I've put it off really. You should be ashamed of yourself for not playing this before. What else haven't you played on this delightful system? I have Okami and Xenoblade Chronicles on my pile to play. Don't think there is anything else I've missed. Unfortunately though my Wii has played second fiddle this gen and there have been so many other things to play.

There'll come a time when the battle is too much for your little soldiers, and it's crushing to lose people for the first time.
flameboy Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 Just wait, just you wait. There'll come a time when the battle is too much for your little soldiers, and it's crushing to lose people for the first time. It happened my first casualties were Mike, Josh and Letty. Gutted. So errr...Howser is totally a bad guy right?
Magnus Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Losing people in battle becomes less upsetting once you realize that they usually wash up on the beach the next morning. Of course, that just makes it even more upsetting the few times they don't. :p
Ellmeister Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 EDIT: Dammit @Magnus posted before me but ruined the surprise about the beach! Spoiler alert :p
Jonnas Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Casualties never washed up on the beach for me. Because of this, there was only one time I let the victims stay dead for good. Also, flameboy, names are different for everybody. I happened to have a Letty and a Mike among my first villagers, but I didn't get a Josh until later. (On a related note, it's pretty cool to see "Diogo" and "Tiago" among the possible names, seeing as they're exclusively Portuguese)
Retro_Link Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I rarely lost anyone, because sometimes if I took quite a few losses I would just restart the boss and relearn/readjust my tactics, but when I did I was lucky to pretty much always have them wash up on the beach. Where are you up to @flameboy?
Magnus Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 EDIT: Dammit @Magnus posted before me but ruined the surprise about the beach! Spoiler alert :p Anything I can do to ruin his enjoyment of the game.
Retro_Link Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Washing up on the beach isn't a spoiler is it? If you didn't know about it/stumble across it, you might loose some of your much loved citizens!
flameboy Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 Cheers for the heads up guys! Ryker lives haha
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I have Okami and Xenoblade Chronicles on my pile to play. Don't think there is anything else I've missed. Unfortunately though my Wii has played second fiddle this gen and there have been so many other things to play. What have you got for the system? Maybe there's a few other gems we can find for you. Anyway, this game is brilliant. I need to finish it, although I'm tempted to start over in the summer. It's heartbreaking when you lose your mans, though. The humour is also a highlight. I would kill for a sequel to this on the WiiU, and not the shitty one that's on the Vita.
Ellmeister Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I stopped playing because... I got stuck with Eggman because I couldn't do the questions Really wish I had time/ effort to start playing it again! Also, the washing up on the beach isn't a spoiler but I thought it'd be nicer for him to just find out for himself!

Where are you up to @flameboy? I have just beaten the second boss. Played about 3 hours. Still really enjoying it. There are some faults though which I sure people are aware of. No IR for targeting seems crazy although it does allow for a "lazier" gaming position. I don't know if I'll learn new formations as I go but the general way of targeting and having to work your way through them to get to the villager you want. After months of playing Skyrim this has made for a very refreshing change.
Hero-of-Time Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Glad to see you're enjoying it, Flamey. It's one of the best games this generation, IMO and I implore every Wii owner who hasn't played it to get their finger out and give it a go.
flameboy Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 You should be ashamed of yourself for not playing this before. What else haven't you played on this delightful system? Here are all the Wii games I own: http://www.backloggery.com/games.php?user=flameboy&console=Wii I really don't think there is much I've missed out on. Didn't fancy Smash Bros really...I guess I do want Donkey Kong Returns though. Casualties never washed up on the beach for me.

Jonnas Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I'm pretty sure the beach thing is said somewhere. Either Liam tells you, or it comes in the manual. Here are all the Wii games I own: http://www.backloggery.com/games.php?user=flameboy&console=Wii I really don't think there is much I've missed out on. Didn't fancy Smash Bros really...I guess I do want Donkey Kong Returns though. I couldn't help but notice you don't own Another Code R. I heard nothing but good things from the game and it hasn't disappointed so far. You also don't own Sonic Colours, but I can't vouch for that one personally. (Also, it's "De Blob", not "Da")

Didn't fancy Smash Bros really...I guess I do want Donkey Kong Returns though. Awwww that makes it even sad if they do kick the bucket and not wash up on the shores. I'd give Smash Bros a go, it's rammed full with content and is really fun. The game speed seems less crazy than Melee. You can probably find it for cheap now, too. Kirby's Epic Yarn is a must have. I'm waiting til Ine is done with it before I try it, but it looks brilliant. DKC:Returns is another one. That's what I'm looking out for, haven't got it yet. Monster Hunter Tri has to be played, and is a great online title. I played for about 30 hours before work got in the way, and I have so much left to see and do. There's also a good following on here which make it worthwhile. Tatsunoko vs Capcom is also excellent, and a good alternative to Brawl if you're interested in a fighter. I picked it up for a dirt cheap price and my only regret is that I haven't pumped more time into it. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Dead Space: Extraction are two of my favourites from this generation. Brilliant games and both surprisingly good. Don't let the on-rails nature of Dead Space put you off, it really is an atmospheric game. Got it for Christmas off Ine and it's left its mark on me. Want more of it. If you're into football (if you can call what Pompey play "football" ), then you NEED to get either one of Pro Evo 2011 or 2012. Not joking around. In terms of gameplay, it destroys its counterparts on the HD systems. Can't recommend it highly enough. There is a learning curve and you will suck in the first few games. But, once you re-learn how to play football, it is so worth it. I see you have No More Heroes. I'm playing through the second and that's also very fun. Think I prefer it to the first. Seems to have a bit more polish and just more finesse about it. There's quite a few others. Ine and I have something daft like 70 combined Wii games. My backlog is disgusting. Little King's Story is included in that backlog! Must finish it.
