It may take a bit, but monster games seem to be in a better place than they once were.

I mean the french attempt at pokemon seems to be on a better ground than temtem.

That looks fucking terrible. Looks like Steven Universe, MLP, and a diversity checklist got blended together with Pokemon and a soy latte.

It's from a French studio, what did you expect? lol. And judging by the background, it looks like its setting is in some kind of medieval Arabic country. I hope Mahoma will be a secret legendary Pokémon.

I emulated the first two games on Dolphin in 2020 (although I've actually finished only the first game which took me somewhere around 10 hours iirc) and my playtime in Pikmin 3 last year reached 25 hours for completing the main campaign on Normal difficulty + Olimar's levels + gathering/slaying missions (I often tried to get the gold medal on those). Most of my pikmin deaths in the main campaign were from the final boss.

Pikmin 3 is more geared around micro-management since you get to control up to three crew members with several situations that require cooperation between two or three separate groups of pikmin at once as well as to manage your time efficiently. It's even more important so in higher difficulties which lower the amount of the time you can navigate around the zone level before the sun fall, or the mission levels for the highest score. The game allows a second player for split coop btw.

Pikmin 1 was more time-focused as you (as the sole playable character Captain Olimar) had to gather all the thirty pieces of the wrecked ship within 30 days before your reserve of air went out. Pikmin 2 threw away the concept of time limit as the main objective was to clear off the debt of your boss through "unknown" items you've gathered in the wild. It was also more about underground dungeon exploration to obtain more valuable items although you had to face many kind of traps and sometimes a boss fuck the slime roller

And to answer your question directly, I believe Pikmin 3 DE is worth the money, you might get it for a bit less as a physical cartridge depending of the retailer or second-hand.
The Pikmin themselves are cute too.

Merci, monsieur! I've had an irrational itch to try this game for a while now, but I'm still unsure if it's better to save that money for something better in the future. Curiously, I saw a rumor that Pikmin 4 would be released this year, but it's probably false.

I'm pretty sure Pikmin is in the Nintendo trash bin, together with Starfox and F-Zero, sadly.

Not entirely, considering that pikmin has a pokemon go-like game.

But that's what most Nintendo fans find appealing.

And this isn't even getting into the fact that they want every Nintendo property to flood into everything and be an endless self referential circle of familiar things.

That's because it's not good enough.

@NerdShamer They made an open world game and modified the combat to accommodate that open world. But all of the old problems like antiquated combat design still persist and you have a bunch of new ones like broken turn priorities in combat and terrible textures and meshes. Like really bad and you can't blame Switch hardware because other similarly scaled games look better. I played up to the volcano area on the leaked version and put the game down. Totally not worth the money and Game Freak is going to learn nothing because this game is slated to sell a trillion copies.

Running around the open world is kind of cool but it feels like a beta and the whole thing lacks polish. This series sells like a Nintendo game but it is very clearly not a Nintendo game. I do not think this can be fixed with patches.

I like to think Iwata would be really pissed off with the current state of gamefreak right now.
 
Did nothing about what in regards X/Y? AFAIK these games delivered as intended, braindead difficulty aside.
 
Between the Tembo the Badass Elephant fiasco, the lack of faith of the Pokemon Company CEO on the Switch and Nintendo themselves bringing Yo-kai Watch to the west, it really gives this weird sensation that Gamefreak and Nintendo might started having a fall out on the mid-2010s. Maybe now that almost everyone is under the same roof things will improve on the future, or not.

X/Y literally bricked your console if you saved in the wrong place. Genuinely one of the most amazing bugs I’ve ever seen.

XY was still one of the better Pokémon games, difficultly notwithstanding

They've been under the same roof for 4 games or more.
 
Decided to finally give Fenyx Rising a try. Bought a physical copy of the base game on sale for $25. Less than a week later these motherfuckers at Nintendo put the $99 Gold Edition on sale for $25. Ain't that a bitch?

I am talking about the office change in 2020:

Pokémon Developer Game Freak Is Moving Closer to Nintendo's Headquarters

Nintendo is bringing its Tokyo offices closer together, and Pokémon developer Game Freak might be part of the move.

Being in or being closer to Nintendo's office doesn't change the fact that Pokemon games are constantly being pumped out on a tight schedule similar to the likes of Call of Duty with a developer that is technically incompetent and not large enough to deal with the amount of games that are being pumped out. The saving grace is the amount of brain dead consoomers who buy Pokemon and defend it no matter what.

Anyone who is expecting that amazing "Breath of the Wild" quality of a Pokemon game on console (at least by GameFreak) is just dreaming.

Seriously, the closest that we'll ever get to having something that's built on an massive scale from them is Sword & Shield and even that managed to turn out to be lukewarm.
