#pikmin4

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

I’ve been playing #Pikmin4 and I think it’s overall a really interesting evolution of the series with some extremely welcome QoL improvements. it’s clear that a lot of work went into making this game very featureful for powerusers like me and I love that. also Oachi is the greatest video game character of all time and I would die for them /ex

I wish the game had been designed with more of a focus on multitasking, though. like Pikmin 2 - where breaking down a gate took like half a day and you’d want to switch between characters in order to do something else in the meantime

I feel like #Pikmin and Creeper World are the two closest things to RTSes that I’ll be able to enjoy lol - although I’ve been wanting to make an “RTS” of my own (it would have an RTS control scheme and RTS units but the gameplay would be very very different)

but I think that for me to enjoy a game, I need there to be a safe state* that is essentially the default state, and that I need to actively choose to leave. and RTSes aren’t really designed this way - you’re always in danger in some way or other because the enemies are proactively coming after you and becoming more dangerous over time as they ramp up their economies

* in Doom, this is when there are no aggroed enemies left. in Minecraft this is when I’m inside of my base, where no enemies can get to me. in Creeper World this is once I have enough defensive structures to sustainably repel the creep

Hope there is some love for the #glowpikmin ! I still hold that the best #pikmin game out there is Pikmin 1, but #pikmin4 was simply art. The #nintendoswitch isn’t a graphic powerhouse, but it was beautiful seeing an updated Pikmin game on the big screen and the night missions were WILD! I managed to find some #blanketyarn that had little sparkles in it, perfect for Halloween 👻 . #crochet #amigurumi #crochetersofpixelfed #handmade #socialmedia #fediart #fiberarts

La magia de la Navidad ha hecho que mi clarinete se convierta en una corneta y me ha permitido tocar la melodía de inicio de cada día de misión del #Pikmin4

⚠️ Aviso que son sonidos agudos, cuidado ⚠️

P.D: lo he grabado a la primera y me ha gustado, no le doy más vueltas esta vez 😅

P.D2: me he dado cuenta de que la melodía estaba medio tono más alto de lo que debería (me he complicado innecesariamente XD), pero he dicho que así se queda, y punto 😬
