I feel like this game suffered from releasing in an unpolished state. Its competition is Smash bros, which is incredibly polished but has bad networking. Even with smash's issues though, it felt way better to play than this did. They could have fixed all the issues, but the first taste I had of the game was negative, and I just don't feel like it's worth my time to go back.

With so many games coming out, I feel like the first impression is more important than ever, but more and more games are instead releasing in a poor state with the idea of fixing it later if it makes money.

I would also love a Kirby air ride game... But seeing how they did multiplayer-focused gamrs like Mario tennis and golf, I don't want today's Nintendo to make it, if that makes sense.

Which one of you forgot to open the app so we all ceased to exist to save on simulation resources?

Do the sites work if you use an extension that lies to them about what browser you are using?

Dunno why people down voted you for asking, but personally while I love some of their games and the creative direction they take their consoles - they just have way too many anti-consumer practices.

From recent memory, they've DMCA takedowned YouTube videos of people playing modded versions of Breath of the Wild before Tears of the Kingdom released. This isn't the firs time they've DMCA takedowned videos they didn't like, including videos showing emulation in the past. Their online service, despite costing money to play games online, primarily relies on peer to peer networking when their console has a very weak networking chip, meaning most online games have to account for very poor connections. They have been very aggressive in shutting down websites distributing Roms for games that no longer have a way to be accessed or played. It stinks that you have to pay for their online service if you want any form of save data backups, and even those are iffy because they really don't want you putting it on more than one console. Their handling of joyconn drift has left a lot to be desired. They replaced them... Sometimes... And when they did you had to wait a while and usually the replacement would develop it, too.

It seems like a great game for those with the time and dedication to learn it.

I'm not one of those people. This game takes a lot from DOTA and will demand an extensive knowledge of the map, characters, builds, and items to start to get good at it, and I just don't care to spend the time to learn it all.

I know nobody asked, but I really wish more MOBAs like HOTS did well. I love HOTS for how approachable it was in comparison to the others. I'm at the point where if I play a moba and there's an item shop: I'm out. In every case I've seen an item shop the optimal usage of it is to build your characters stats to counter your expected build of the other team's build - and that is a LOT of added complexity I just don't want to deal with, especially because it requires so much knowledge and people with more time than you will flame you if you don't know it.

We gotta make that virus, too. Just in case the fish-plant hybrids rebel.

A lot of people struggle to understand that a lot of the fun of warframe is in the progression. There really isn't a lot to do that's interesting when you get into the endgame, so paying to progress faster ultimately takes away some of that fun.

Now, there is plenty of fun to be had building and trying out new weapons, but that does get old without a goal to reach for while using them.

Also, very few people actually play the PVP mode. I've never touched it myself and I'm in the endgame.

So from an outsider who doesn't understand this, they see that players can pay to progress faster and think it's pay to win - because in most games it is.

I came back to the game half a year ago and I've been enjoying every update since. Seems like you enjoyed the game before, so I'd say it's definitely worth a try.

We have some really cool stuff coming up this year, too.

That's not what that implies. I've seen that argument from religious people describing how atheists must be unruly because they have no incentive to meet a good afterlife.

I can still be clean, look how I want, and be nice to others just because I want to and I like it when others do the same.
