Zero Punctuation: Super Mario 3D Land & Rayman Origins
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
Some of the announced games: Paper Mario 3DS, Luigi's Mansion 2, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Resident Evil: Revelations, Heroes of Ruin (a very promising hack-and-slash game from Square), and two Professor Layton games, one of which is a crossover with Phoenix Wright.ResonanceSD said:
Also, Ocarina of Time 3D, despite being a remake, is definitely worth your money. The game was rebuilt from scratch, and it makes the original almost unplayable in comparison, which is probably saying something.
I quite enjoyed Super Mario 3d land, and I don't find the 3D effects annoying or headache-inducing at all. In any of the games. They're less "shit popping out at you" and more "depth of field". I found the last several levels really challenging, and the final boss run from Bowser up the crumbly staircase was exciting and had my hands shaking. Oh well.
Also, I never understood why Yahtzee always goes off against 3D platformers. I've never really had a problem with them. (As long as I can see my feet, I'm golden.)

There are fewer raging fanboys then I expected actualy, but to those out there: Why not try actualy addressing Yahtzee's points before chastising him? You know, pretend this is actualy some sort of reasonable debate...
Of course this is the internet, the word reasonable doesnt apply much.

The reason why I didn't get Rayman Origins was not only because of the pricetag, but the whole BG&E thing. Looking back at those gameplay trailers and I'm becoming more and more tempted. Never played a Rayman game, but they (this one included) seem absolutely charming. Let's see when prices go down...
Ya, I never knew that either. While it is difficult to make a good 3D platformer (perhaps the reason because they're going into extinction), there are plenty of good ones. Actually, 3D platormers are my favourite genre. Spyro's controls rarely copped out, 3D Mario is pretty tight, Crash Bandicoot is very functional (when he's behaving himself), Ratchet and Clank moves like a dream, etc. In the many years I've played 3D platformers (mind you, most of them the bigger titles as seen above), 3D Sonics are the only ones I've played where things felt awkward. Not unplayable (minus games like Sonic 06), just not as fluid. I guess it's mostly because Sonic is a lot like a sea turtle. When he's moving slowly he's clunky, but when the level allows him to zip around man does he move). Then again, I also had a lot of problems with 2D Genesis Sonic too. I guess it's mostly the momentum/physics and I can't guess my jump height/distance well enough.Taunta said:
Maybe Rayman will finally get some sales thanks to the Yahtzee "every trust this man because he's trustworthy as hell" machine. Indeed. Any game that draws an illicit and contented "ahhh..." from Yahtzee is worth your time and money.
I'm surprised he never once mentioned the French, though.

He should mention it on a Extra Puctuation rather than a review in Zero style because what could he possibly do to make fun of a good game??TheKmanofAwesometon said:
Alternatively you can make lots of sock puppets into sending mails to him to review Super Meat Boy if you are into annoying people into submission
Shit really? because i heard that if Origins made enough money, they would make a sequel to Beyond Good and Evil. Its unfortunate that Yathzee had to spend time with the Shooter Season 2011 instead of looking upon this game and others because when Yathzee aproves a game (like for example: Minecraft) people rush in NUMBERS to play it. But its too late now for Rayman Origins.Zhukov said:
I just replayed Rayman 2 on the N64 and GODDAMN! THAT GAME IS DIFFICULT!Sovvolf said:
It was one of those games that pushed the N64 graphics to the limit.
Why haven't you all bought Rayman Origins?! Yahtzee speaks the truth about challenge without frustration. It's also perfectly playable without 4-player as a purely single-player game as I have done because damn the game's challenging. Those treasure chest levels...

Rayman Origins was wonderful. People who like fun things should buy it. I feel even better about not owning a 3DS now. The only way Nintendo is getting my money for one of those is if they put out another Advance Wars game.
