I'm not talking about the television bubbles. I'm talking about the constant help bubbles that pop up. Every sign has them. Every time you grab a power-up, you get them. The game is already visually confusing enough, the help bubbles just push it over the edge. I just didn't enjoy this game right off the bat. I'm enjoying it now, after playing through the first world, but the intro and first levels are not very good. Anyways, I find it funny how defensive people are being! This game has a 98 on metacritic, how dare I criticize it! |
Firstly, there's a difference between "disagreement" and being defensive. I would not think to defend this game: it doens't need defending, and I wouldn't be the one to do that anyway.
You have to actually read signs. Again, that's an optional engagement that you get into for youself.
Granted you get a short bubble tutorial when you pick up powerups for the first time, but it's been this way since Super Mario 64 and I don't find it visually confusing - and neither does the newbie I had playing yesterday. They find it helpful.
I don't actually care if you enjoyed it. I'm expressing disagreement on points unrelated to that.
