BabelRich

I voted for Yooka in most disappointing category... I think.

I agree 100% with all the negative comments in this thread and yet… There is something so compelling about this game. It may not have the legs in its current state; in fact, I know I’ll have had enough shortly if no extra content pops up, but it just feels really good to play and I’ve only played it solo apart from my first go which was in a duo (game buddy decided it was a nope for him after that first sesh). Anyway, please add me up as I’d like to have a crack with a bigger crew, I can’t promise voice comms as my games room is next to my daughter’s bedroom (very poor planning there) and I only really get to play once she’s in bed but I do take orders well. Babelrich is the tag.

Citation Required History may have proven MK64 a weaker entry but at the time it was the genuine next step for the series and great fun. If you want to be taken seriously as a troll you need to try harder than this.

Hetsu, the big Korok dude literally tells you how to navigate the Lost Woods the first or second time you meet him.

Weirdly, I didn’t play as much as usual last year, due to kids taking up most of my time, but feel compelled to vote for the first time. You’ll find the lack ‘sit-down-gaming-time’ reflected in the following Switch heavy, terrible pun laden lists. Game of the Year A1. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild “I Love exploring worlds in games… ’nuff said” A2. Super Mario Odyssey “Pure, distilled gaming. What a journey.” A3. Steamworld Dig 2 “Dug Dig 1, Dug Heist, really dug Dig 2. Can’t wait for their next game.” A4. Assassin’s Creed: Origins “Another exploring words vote. Gorgeous and interesting, best Creed since Apollo.” A5. Snipperclips “Great couch co-op that does something new. The DLC is also top notch! Most Disappointing Game of the Year Z1. Star Wars Battlefront 2 “Something, something, something Dark Side.” Z2. Mass Effect: Andromeda “Was decent in the end but will always be the game that killed my favourite series. EA reaping what is sews” Z3. Super Bomberman R “Not enough bang for your buck.” Z4. Layton’s Mystery Journey “The only mystery is what happened to the puzzles. Far too many lateral thinking puzzles that weren’t as clever as they thought they were and a story that didn’t really go anywhere. Luke warm at best” Z5. Yooka-Laylee “Rare-ly got out of second gear this game. Decent enough but should have been better.” Sound Design of the Year S1. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild S2. Cuphead S3. Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle Visual Design of the Year V1. Cuphead V2. Assassin’s Creed: Origins V3. Super Mario Odyssey Writing of the Year W1. What Remains of Edith Finch W2. Thimbleweed Park W3. Golf Story Gaming Format (System) of the Year F1. Switch Publisher or Developer of the Year P1. Nintendo Best Supported Game (from pre 2017) of the Year B1. Rock Band 4

Boro and Bristol City. Not good.

Gave my wife a list of games to pick from for a gift so I'll be playing what ever of those she gets me. And Jak and Daxter remastered for some retro feels. Oh, and no doubt more Switch Picross while visiting the in-laws.

Definitely not a spiral; more a ladder

Yes! Yes! Yes! In your stupid fucking face Darker Side! Finally did it at lunch (thank you Switch) and put it to sleep to enjoy the end on the big tele at home (thank you Switch). Can’t see me getting 999 as I really don’t think I’ll ever be able to do the Luncheon and Lost Kingdom Koopa Races but I was determined to finish Darker Side.

Did they ever patch the incredible shrinking golfer bug?

An odd one, but I remember being really impressed with the bottle of milk in Zelda:OOT. The way the liquid was modeled inside the glass just blew my mind. I'd like to say young mind but I was 22 years old.

You do have to use credits to unlock some part of it at least.

Thanks but I'm pretty sure that's what I've been doing and I still just butt-stomp. Probably just my old man crapness cant deal.

Can you help me then cos I cannot get it to work with any kind of consistency :/

Fuck sake. About the only thing I mustn’t have done... press down. Cheers dude, I’m chalking that one up to lack of sleep.
