My reaction to Polygon saying this can be summed up pretty accurately with a single GIF.If you thought Polygon was bad before well
eeeyup.
It's incredibly jarring for such an immature line being put in an article which is supposed to be taken seriously. Say you're watching a movie,tv show or cutscene, and the most emotional death scene in media you've seen is shown. But then **** like Green Greens is playing in the background during this. It doesn't matter how much buildup or emotion it had to that point, it's mood whiplash, and that's exactly what those lines are
My personal least favourite thing IGN did was give Kirby and the Rainbow Curse a low score due to difficult controls making the game too hard. The review footage showed the game being played horribly by someone who didn't seem to know what they were doing
Their film and TV reviews are worse.
Let's also mention the fact that the Cars characters are a thing. If they tried to make them a combination of a character and a vehicle, I think it could've turned out well. They were definitely more cartoony in their films, and could've potentially had actual attacks with donuts, backflips, wheel grinding, etc. and each have a unique function (Mater's cable as a grapple? Spy weapons? Car tricks?) but nope, we got expensive power discs.Whoa whoa whoa
He gets Health Regeneration? That's amazing. Definitely getting him now. Sorry, Old Cap.
And yeah, I definitely agree. With the ones I have, there are some gripes. I don't get why Rapunzel and Captain Jack Sparrow can't air juggle when the generic versions of their weapons can (I know it has to do with their block breaker, but I mean...come on), why they didn't give Ralph a wall crawl ability when he climbs and wrecks buildings for a living, or why Woody didn't get a lasso move added as a force-pull type move.
Though some 1.0 characters can still hold their own pretty well. Rapunzel in particular, really. She's a tank. Health regeneration alongside a powerful, multi-hit, ranged frying pan attack? Awesome stuff. Jack Sparrow with an upgraded flintlock's also really good, while Ralph is really good against huge enemies like Tank Omnidroids where attack accuracy matters less. Sorcerer Mickey's also still pretty fun.
You forgot the best one. Docking points for Hitman Absolution because the baddies didn't aim well
That was the film, Agent 47.
Reminds me of their Sonic Unleashed review.
This!
"The jump button can be fatally unresponsive at times"
This is true. But I'll probably go ahead and start collecting some of my favorite characters again sooner or later. It'll be a slow process, but I'm not in that much of a rush to get figurines either. I'm behind on a lot more than just the figurines themselves.
It really makes me wonder what they're going to do with Dory and Nemo. I have faith they won't be as limited as the Cars cast, but I just wonder how they'll be executed.
To be fair, the PS3 and 360 versions had lots of trial and error, I particularly remember a 2D segment suddenly switching to 3D without warning, meaning unless you knew it was coming up, you'd have likely boosted off the edge
Exactly. Review what you played. And play enough to give a general review. Oy. -_-

Er, these are genuinely bad examples. NOBODY was happy with Pink Gold Peach. Smash has existed for nearly 2 decades and has a measly 4 games. COD games come put yearly, which is part of the reason it's gotten flak by everyone. Don't really have an argument about your Halo example because I don't know much of it
A little too soon. Fates has been out for barely a couple of months now.
Fates hasn't even come out in my goddamn continent. I HIGHLY doubt it
Considering how well Fates did, it was almost inevitable. Glad to see it continue though.
Gonna go with Bull.
I wouldn't say that. The reaction to each Smash Bros game is overwhelmingly negative within the fandom, and Pink Gold Peach got chewed out pretty hard as well. The reason Smash Bros isn't getting mauled for being the same is because there are such massive gaps between releases and people actually do prefer when games don't change in the slightest overall. COD gets chewed out moreso for having releases pumped out constantly, and while admittedly the complaints are to a far lesser extent Pokemon is our resident scapegoat for that.@Annuga That guy's comment specifically says "I'm not talking about a full generated universe". I completely agree with him. We do hold Nintendo to a different standard than other companies. "Boo, another Halo game, do something new!" "OOh, new Smash Bros OMG!!" "Boo, another COD!" "Yaaay, another Mario Kart!! With Pink Gold Peach!"
This is not an insult aimed at anyone, I'm including myself. But seriously, they could have done so much more with Starfox than to basically just remake it. Even if you could just have more choices in where you go, and upgrade your ship between missions, I think that would have attracted me more to it.
PS I don't want to start an argument, I just agreed with that ONE PART of what the guy was saying, and felt that you were reading his intention very differently than I was.
I was about to mention this.
This is a little old but FE is basically Pokemon now, so I don't doubt they are already working on the next game
When was this confirmed? I don't mind, but I'm curious
Well now I feel proud of myself for calling that it wasn't Fiora and thus had to be the other option.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo blacklisted them for this, honestly.
Considering how review copies work, they would need to be sent beforehand, meaning either A: Polygon said they won't review it and won't be getting a copy, or B: Nintendo gave them a copy, and the reviewer didn't review it, which as their sibling site Kotaku learned in a similar fashion, could have consequences a la Bethesda
Various european youtubers with review copies
Something tells me you haven't looked on Halo Waypoint once in the past 6-7 months.
