Pikmin 3 was a let down.

Am I just too old now or what? 1 and 2 are some of my favorite games ever. I don't know why Pikmin 3 was so boring to me, I didn't even beat it. I haven't played it in years, but I'll try to list what I didn't like off the top of my head.

-No dungeons like P2
-No time limit like P1
-Rock and Flying pikmin are not as fuck as White and purple
-I don't give a fuck about the new captains, I want Olimar and Louie
-No journal where Olimar teaches you about the flora and fauna
-It felt to me like everything in P3 had to be done in more of a precise order, more like being guided along a path instead of big open levels to explore and do what you like in

The positives
-Game looks absolutely beautiful
-Blue pikmin actually being able to swim was pretty cool

i always disliked hunting wogpoles because I'd get almost no payout while they shake the flowers off of my Pikmin
But they are in the way of moving a treasure and knocking out Pikmin doing their business and/or distracting them
They were a waste of time that I somehow felt was necessary, and that bothered me.

One of the fun things about looking at unused content in games is wondering what the developers were originally planning.

For example, this Wollywog with a rock on it's belly that exists in Pikmin 3's code. Who knows what the developers were planning for it? Were you supposed to somehow hit Rock Pikmin against it's belly?

>>378696605
>-Rock and Flying pikmin are not as fuck as White and purple
Please do not fuck the pikmin

>>378696858

I meant fun. Is it that bad when muscle memory I guess makes me type "fuck" without even thinking about it on the internet?

>>378696605
Purple pikmin were too good they had to be nerf and the answer to that was rock pikmin

>>378696858
How would you even fuck a Pikmin?

>>378696092
I fell your pain anon, almost as much as I feel my spine constantly. I hate scoliosis.
>Tfw never exercise

>>378696605
I think it was a great game, but it certainly did lack the charm P1 and P2 had, and no dungeons really hurt it.
>-Rock and Flying pikmin are not as fuck as White and purple
Purple Pikmin were broken as fuck in P2, which is why Rock Pikmin exist
Flying Pikmin are better than White Pikmin

>>378697032

I do agree purple pikmin were overpowered. I don't think rock pikmin were a satisfactory answer to this, they were less cute and more boring.

Also, another negative of Pikmin 3. No c stick! I loved making my guys line up against walls to avoid shit or making them march in a straight line while that silly music played.

It is hard, but not terribly so. I did it in pikmin 2 as well. No life wooo. But seriously, its all about 20 man squads. Just enough to put em all to work after the battle, and few enough that C stick can move your buddies out of harms way most of the time. Had to restart once or twice tho

A cool design for a world boss could be a giant version of the Creeping Chrysanthemum, called the "Weeping Chrysanthemum"

It's based off of the plant of the same name in pic related, except it would probably be about the size of a bush.
Other than it's looks, it gets the name "weeping" because a steady stream of acidic/poisonous liquid is coming from its eyes, which s obviously harmful to pikmin.

>>378699498
Except white pikmin, cause white anything is OP

>>378699629
True, but this was opperating on the idea that whites weren't a part of the story, like in Pikmin 3. Though if they are, then I guess this boss could double down a bit more on the poison, so that whites are needed a bit more that the others.

>>378699778
Right, sorry about that. How would it be taken down?

AYO STOP SCARING AWAY THE PUSSY!

>>378699894
Not sure about that yet, though I had the idea that this boss would be completely stuck in the center of the arena, which is a small, circular flower bed type deal like pic related, only it would be nothing but dirt, eith the boss planted in the center.

The players would move around on a walkway of ground that divides the arena from the grass in the rest of the yard.

The Chrysanthemum will look down at you with a few of the total amount of eyea it has, while also leaning its giant body down to slowly and sneakily rears up its mouth to try and eat pikmin without them being aware. Once it's eyes are close enough, throw white pikmin at them, until they both pop (it will reveal two eyes at a time). Once all of its eyes are gone, which will also tick away most of its health, it will start to go into a panic mode, where it will flail its mouth around and occasionally slam into the ground, knocking it out for a short period of time. Once its knocked out, throw any kind of pimmin on its closed mouth to finally kill it before it wakes up again.

Well, I became more and more sure about how to attack it, as the post went on, as you can see...

But ye, this whole idea kind of came from the Quaggled Mireclops, with the whole eye thing, although the eyes would come from the branches of the tree seen in >>378699498, eith the mouth coming from a flower bud sprouting on the center-top of the tree

>>378701114
Instead, what if when its stunned, you throw them on it's leaves, knocking them off? Once the leaves are down its gone.

I suppose that could work too, though it would certainly have a lot of very small leaves, or I guess in this particular plant's case, petals. How would it work, if you don't mind me asking? would you de-petal this creature the same way you rip out all of the Shaggy Long-Legs' hair?

Thats what i was thinking, at first, but now looking at it i feel it would be recieved as a tired trope of pikmin boss fights. Oooooh, what if close to its ( poison saturated) base a root would pop out, after the eyes. Throw the white piks to dig it out (as they do) and it reveals a long root, like on the wall of the arena. Then the rest of your army breaks it. Rinse and repeat.

>>378703123
I see, that would be pretty cool. Maybe even, after the white pikmin have dug out the root enough, they could begin carrying the tip of the root as if they were taking it back to the ship, but once the root is pulled and stretched too far, it whips back and smacks the Chrysanthemum in the face, causing it to become dizzy, like the regular ones in pikmin 2, then you could attack the eyes once they're laying on the ground, or throw your pikmin at the eyes, where they would climb up the eyestalks/branches and begin the depetal the creature until it wakes up.

If you know about him though he's easy as fuck to either avoid or deal with

We have more evidence that Pikmin 4 isn't Hey! Pikmin than we do that it is. But I cannot give you a direct diagnosis, anon. Pleas understand.

>>378703614
I love where this is going. We can have two versions of this. One just this. Easy mode. Second could be colored a diffrent color and be named slightly different. At 20 percent, the hard version turns into a verison of the machine gun spider, except it lobs poison all over the map. Your part of the ship that accompanies you into the dungeons could have a cleanse zone and in that zone could be another part. But what i cant think of.

Bonus missions? What are those? Like I said I didn't beat the game and it's been a few years since I played.

I think I lost my game somehow, so I'll probably never play it now. My Wii U isn't even hooked up anymore anyways and I never plan on using the console again. I'd totally buy P3 on the switch though, someday.

>>378704570
Nintendo's mobile games haven't been that bad from memory, give them at least a little bit of credit, they are all PR anyway, and personally that's the smartest use of the mobile games division, and it works.

>>378704661
the extra modes, they are pretty hard.

>>378704661
You know how Pikmin 1 had the Challenge Mode where you keep trying to spawn more Pikmin & Pikmin 2's where you try collect stuff? Well basically has a mix of both but it's a bit more expanded upon since the score tallies up everything from Pikmin, to Fruit collected, to enemies killed & etc. Your goal is to get a perfect score, it's the most addicting challenge mode yet.

>>378704661
There are challenge rooms you can access from the main menu. These test the absolute limits of your efficiency in managing multiple characters at once.

Those games are great & probably some of the best on the system but no, it's not worth it for only 2 games. You could try emulating it though, I'm not sure if Pikmin 3 would be a good idea since you can command where certain captains go via gamepad but Tropical Freeze would be perfect I imagine.

>>378704997
NO. Wii U was a fucking mistake.
I love pikmin 3 and still would not have bought the console had I known how dead the lineup was going to be.

Just wait till CEMU is good enough and then play it that way.

>>378704186
I really like the poison flinging aspect of this. Would make for a good attack for it to do whenever its in the panic mode I referred to earlier. Though I'm not sure if dividing it into two different creatures would be a good idea, as it would be a bit strange to have a world boss also be the boss of a cave. perhaps we could compromise on how this boss could function to make one boss battle?

>>378696605
I've spent a lot of time thinking of this myself. Pikmin 3 never made me as proud as I was when I cleared the Forest Navel in a single in-game day.

Pikmin 3 is boring because they changed their approach to structuring levels. Pikmin 1 and 2 are clearly structured in such a way that players will want to plan out their days in advance to collect the largest amount of treasure in the fewest amount of days. This is supported by the campaign modes of these two games, which place the focus of the campaign on collecting the shit. Players will naturally want to go back over their plans and tweak them in order to improve their performance. The maps also open up to the player much more quickly in those games, which also encourages replay value and experimenting with new strategies.

Pikmin 3's plot is structured around reaching checkpoints around the map, which forces the player through a series of obstacles instead of asking them to juggle a half-dozen jobs. This is the main reason why the maps don't open up as quickly. The fruits are a side objective, and the levels are not built to encourage the player to gather them in the same way they did the treasures in the first two games.

Compare this with Pikmin 3's mission mode, which actually does use the original Pikmin level design philosophy. 3's mission mode manages to scratch the same perfectionist itch that that first two games did so well. I'll even concede that it manages to be the most consistent fun I've had with the series. Even then, it's still really frustrating that the main campaign diverged from the philosophy that earned the series so many die-hard fans in the first place.

Flying and Rock pikmin blow Purple and White pikmin out of the fucking water, though.

>>378704997
You can get it for cheap right now, sure, You could also emulate or wait for some ports to Switch and buy that, I think if we get Pikmin 4 there's the chance of a Pikmin 3 port.

This drain is a personal favorite of mine, as it just seems so cinematic in terms of it's shape and depth, not to mention it's placement in the grass.

Might as well post this idea I had a few threads back so that the nwxt photo makes sense:

I think it would be the coolest shit ever if after every world boss, instead having the boss just cough up the treasure in front of you, it would lead you to a room where the treasure was, and every treasure room was this huge ass landscape, made specifically for the view, and if you wait there longg enough, you'll barely see a real animal in the back ground.

For instance: there you just killed a boss in the forest area of the game, and you go to the room dedicated to that boss's treasure, and it shows a HUGE expance of forestry, and if you wait there for a few minutes, you can barely see a huge ass deer or moose walk by in the distance.

Another example could be a beach-side boss fight, which leads to its treasure room and a beautiful view of the ocean, where you can see a dophin or a whale briefly surface.

>>378711493
replace 3 with 1 and you'd have the perfect tier list, friend.

>>378711528
>made specifically for the view, and if you wait there longg enough, you'll barely see a real animal in the back ground.
this is something i've wanted since pikmin 3, however not with real animals, i would like to see the "big"(normal for us) sized animals on earth like maybe if you hold your camera for a long time on a certain spot you could see some animals pop up like a huge ass bird or something, or some quadrupedal animal in the background

yeah, I've since revised this idea in my head to include more pikmin like creatures instead of real life animals. Perhaps something like a beady long legs or even one of the world bosses from pikmin 3 could be visible in the backgrounds of these treasure rooms.

It's a few days late but I screencapped the Borb Thread finally for those interested. Tell me if I screwed anything up, this got a bit confusing with the timelines.

And here's the photo I was talking about:

This next one is more or less just scenery, as it could just serve as the background of a more industrial area, blocked off by a fence and possibly a bit of a concrete curb, so that the pikmin can't just walk through the holes of the fence lel.

Perhaps this could be one of the backgrounds for the "treasure rooms" that you can see bosses/animals.

Wait, sorry, forgot to add a couple images on near the beginning, text on the top of the right side and cropped it a bit more.

I still don't understand what happened in the "deja vu" part

>>378716708
Damn, you made me realize I put the deja vu part on the wrong side. That's the Wojak lasering him from the right side.
