I don't really get how anyone older than 10 can tolerate Rabbids. They're like the og Minions. Maybe they've just changed since the Raving Rabbids series though.

It's a great game despite them, but I can imagine their presence only hurt their sales given their target demographic. Tactical RPG fans don't strike me as rabbid fans.

It worked for Worms shrugs

Worms don't act like they're on ket

[–] fidodo@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

What's wrong with worms? They're not knockoff minions.

It's not for tactical RPG fans. It's dumbed down for casual audiences.

Not enough to be unfun for most genre fans, but it's definitely not made for them.

[–] fidodo@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sure but my point is that it's still not in the realm of the rabbid demographic.

[–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

Sure it is. They're both for casual audiences who don't want anything crazy complex.

[–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

I like them.

Rabbid Peach is hilarious.

I’ve literally never seen it not on sale so… no wonder..

It’s a cheap (in switch terms) game for parents to get their kids.

[–] schteph@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I bought it last month on sale. It was on sale, but kind of weird, the game itself wasn't on sale, nor were the dlcs, but the game with dlcs was on sale (and was cheaper than just the game).

I like the game. Reminds me of ufo-enemy unknown from way back.

The original was a great game, but I bought it for about $20.

I'll be buying the new one when there's space in my backlog, but it's probably already been lowered to about $20.

I'll wait until I can get a good deal on the bundle (with the DLC or whatever).

Turns out not all games are worth $60?
