| Topic | Is Super Mario Odyssey good? |
| pastyD 12/23/19 11:05:14 PM #9 | Overall I thought it was pretty good. A couple gripes that I had with it were that 1) The sheer number of moons to collect quickly kills any impact or satisfaction you would hope to experience when you collect them (or at least it did for me). 2) The difficulty didnt scale very well, and so the things youre required to do either seem like theyre very easy or absurdly difficult with no middle ground (I blew through 90% of the moons with little effort, and then my progress stopped dead because everything I hadnt done required a jarring amount of skill and dedication, which the prior moons unfortunately didnt really help me to develop since they were so simple in comparison). Despite the fact that Ive just listed negatives so far, it plays well and gives you plenty to do, so youll probably like it if you like the other 3D Mario games or collectathons. --- Xbox Live: Reborn Raisin |
| Topic | Settle a debate between my wife and I. |
| pastyD 12/21/19 10:52:59 AM #7 | The phrasing of the question muddied the waters a bit, because I would lean in a different direction in each of your examples. If a workday that someone booked off became a non workday because of weather, a power outage, etc., then I would lean B. If there was a surprise day off near a holiday, and nobody was ever going to be expected to work it, then it would be bizarre to require a vacation day to be away for that, and I would lean A. --- Xbox Live: Reborn Raisin |

Metalsonic66 posted...Doesn't seem that unreasonable I dont think the issue here is being asked to pay in order to access DLC, but more about how this is being presented. Say they released another DLC for Skyrim and you didnt want to buy it. Which would you prefer?: A) The new content isnt acknowledged whatsoever in-game unless it has been purchased, and so not buying it has no effect on the experience. B) A courier runs up to you and tells you that a new region has been discovered which is said to contain treasures and wonders far beyond what you have seen before, and you can get there by heading down to the docks... and slipping the ship captain a cool $20 (plus tax). Theres nothing inherently wrong with option B, but its definitely jarring (and to some degree manipulative) for something to be presented as part of the vanilla experience and then revealed to be a paid add-on. --- Xbox Live: Reborn Raisin |
