Having played Yooka-Laylee about a month ago, I have to say that that game is hot garbage. I say that as someone with a great love of 3D platformers who maintains that BK > Mario 64.
Now maybe some of my feeling come down to playing it in handheld mode on Switch. I don't know. I just know I hated the camera, hated the controls, found the overworld and levels to either be a chore to navigate, boring, or both, thought the "humor" was bad, and most of the power ups to be awful. I think I got maybe 50 Pagies or so (not enough to unlock the final area) before I just could not take anymore. And I am NOT someone who gives up on games easily. I've fought through mediocrity and boredom more times than I can count just so I could get to an ending and say I "finished" a game. But that simply was not going to happen here. Y-L is not only disappointing, it's also terrible. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! ...

Ok, just did the world 5 minecart and arcade pages so I pretty much just have a couple hub things to pick up and the final boss.
Although I think I'm going to have to replay the entire game to get the platinum trophy because of a glitch. >_> We'll see I guess. --- The only certain death in the universe is Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons.

ok I don't think it glitched then (what happened was I happened collect a pirate treasure at the same time as falling on the world entrance, so the trophy didn't pop. Though the treasure trophies popped normally when I collected the second, third, and fifth one).
Collected the last few things and now just have to beat the final boss for platinum. --- The only certain death in the universe is Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons. Not changing this line until I beat Seven Heroes (2/24/07) - Fulfilled 2/20/18 ... Copied to Clipboard!

No because I don't want people to be influenced by the birthday person. Should the voting end in a tie, then you would choose which game to do.

I won three races in CTR today. One was my first time playing the course (Drive-Thru Danger), so winning was unexpected. The second was another one where I felt like I had no business winning (Electron Avenue). I think the person who led for most of the race just completely choked. The final was a rarity where I actually crushed the competition (Clockwork Wumpa).
Feeling confident enough in my skills against human players, I felt like I was more than qualified to try the adventure mode on hard now. My very first race I was pounded with item after item, and I finished in last by a mile. I have lost all confidence in beating it on hard, so I'm going to continue playing online until I buy the last two characters and then take a hiatus. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu ...

The same thing happened to me when I first tried playing on hard. The trick is to learn the shortcuts, since the CPUs never use them. Crash Cove is one of the hardest tracks because the shortcut doesnt save much time and its just generally easier to get hit by items on that stage.

Yakuza 0 (PC/XB1/PS4/PS3) Stick It to The Man! (PC/PS4/PS3/Vita) Congrats to Paul and Fake for having their games selected! In addition, the voting for MMX's birthday poll was a tie, but he had mentioned that he wanted Tales of Xilla 2 (PS3) to be the winner, so that will be our third game. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu ...

Yakuza 0's great, but I played it too recently, and I should really be finishing 4-6 before I play it again.
I hadn't heard of Stick it to the Man, but I don't think I'd like it judging by the trailer. --- Our eyes were removed For our own safety ... Copied to Clipboard!

I may play Yakuza 0. Not realizing how long Okami was all those years ago despite having previously gone through it, I forced myself to play it every day, and it still took me the full month to beat it. While Yakuza 0 is on my list of Game Pass games I want to try (I've had it downloaded for awhile too), it is supposed to be 30+ hours without touching much of the side content, and I don't want to rush myself and not be able to fully enjoy myself (with the assumption that it is an enjoyable game that I would want to play to its end).

I'll try out Yakuza, though have a terrible completion rate with games that are 40+ hours. Hear they're really good games though.
Not sure on the other one, though. Debating on trying Tales. Only thing holding me back is I've not played Xilla 1 --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yakuza 0 is on sale for $5 USD for PC via Steam through Chrono (if you haven't heard of them, they are legit, but their shtick is that they offer a different game each day, so you would have to be quick about this).
https://www.chrono.gg You need to be mindful that there are options for an EU or ROW (rest of the world) key, and they further tell you what countries the key cannot be redeemed in. Unless my eyes deceived me, then there were countries in both lists, like the UK, so pay close attention. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu ...

I actually have Yakuza 0 because I got it for five bucks when a local video rental place was going out of business (it shocked me it still existed too, kind of sad.) but Ive never played another one before.

(well, I've only played Kiwami 1, but) from what I understand you'd probably be fine and I guess the Kiwami version of 1 has some new stuff referencing 0 so they took playing it after 0 into account. the only problem that I generally hear coming up is that as a more recent entry in the series in a more advanced engine 0 is more mechanically refined and polished than the older games so going back to even the Kiwami versions of 1/2 would be kind of rough. --- The only certain death in the universe is Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons.
