You guys remember that weird AF game Wattam being done by Katamari Damacy’s creator? Well apparently it was at Pax
Read this excerpt
The demo kicks off with the Mayor, a little green cube-shaped fellow wearing a bowler hat. He wanders around full of tears and loneliness until he meets a sentient Pebble. They become fast friends and prance around together across the flat square land that makes up the game’s world. Soon after they uncover a sentient Boulder that joyfully runs around the space with them. Moments later you discover the Mayor’s secret ability, the bomb, which is a present-shaped explosive that he cleverly reveals from beneath his bowler hat. The bomb does not cause any damage—it instead jettisons all three characters across the screen with fits of laughter.
Do this enough times and eventually more characters are introduced into the mix, such as a Nose, Flowers, an Acorn that can grow into a Tree, eating Utensils, a Mouth, a Toilet, a Chimney, and likely many more.
Each of these characters has a unique role to play, much like the Mayor and his bomb. The Nose can sniff things, and it is through that action that players uncover the Flowers and the Acorn. The Acorn can becomes a Tree that can eat anything in its path, converting them into various Fruits. The Mouth eats the Fruits and produces Poop. Flushing the Poop down the Toilet gives rise to Golden Poop from out of the Chimney. Make enough Golden Poop and… Who knows what happens next? Unfortunately I didn’t have enough time to uncover what mysteries lie deep within the resplendent excrement, but damn if I am not curious to find out.
Because I’m critiquing something based of a first impression? Which is something literally everyone does through Movie trailers, commercials, video game trailers and demos, “preview” magazines for comics. Etc.
Word?
I’d rather see everything in a shade of gray than just black and white. Everyone is allowed and should be encouraged to critique and judge things. It doesn’t mean they hate it just means that’s their first impression. Impressions and opinions can and do change
That’s right. I always wanted to get into that series but there are so many games now and seemingly so many different universes or timelines or even both that I had no idea where to start or what connected to what. It’s all very confusing.
I have typically shied away from buying physical media for my consoles, because my shit would end up missing. Now that my stepson is tf away from us and my wife and I don’t associate with people from her hometown anymore that aren’t family … I might be picking up BL1GOTY and Handsome Collection for XBox One next week if they’re priced decently. Online, the Handsome Collection still sells for 60 brand new, and I don’t think they’re on sale this week on either PSN or XBL. So, physical it is.
most people recommend the arland triology to start with and they just got ps4/switch/pc ports. those games lure you in with cutesy character designs then throw brutal time limits and boss fights that can be on some bullshit if you don’t know how to use alchemy to make the best stuff.
