What does /v/ think of Pikmin 3? So after completing 1 and 2,

garbage compared to 1 and 2, only praised because of the graphics

This

Aw man. I was hoping how messy the level layouts were just me being half asleep. So it doesn't get all that much better?
Also I see they kept the "reds are better fighters" thing, but rock Pikmin seem to just fight almost everything better. Is it going to stay that way? Did purples get nerfed? I haven't gotten them yet.

>>389887598
There are no purples or whites in the main game. And if you want my opinion, the game is better than 2.

Though i moslty played the game for the multiplayer and challenge modes, which is the best part of the game. I actually put 3X more time into those modes than the actualstory.

1 > 3 > 2
2 is really overrated.

>>389886759
Holy shit, I've never heard of a more wrong opinion

>>389887751
>There are no purples or whites in the main game.
really? Wow, I feel sort of mislead. I guess that/s fine then since it would probably feel like a clusterfuck of 7 different Pikmin.

slightly worse than 1 because it was too easy

2 is still the best for me

>>389886669
I think it's great, but I prefer the first two games overall. The fruit limit doesn't ever feel like much of a threat and it lacks the expansive subterranean complexes of Pikmin 2. Also the writing feels flaccid, especially when it comes to item descriptions. Challenge maps are a ton of fun, though.

Midly related but is Hey Pikmin similar to Kirby and is it good?

>>389886669
Oh, I almost forgot to complain about the FUCKING CAMERA ANGLES IN THIS GAME! Wether it's the areas with them fixed or the inability to zoom, they really pisses me off.

>>389888039
They are in the challenge mode, but purps have been nerfed so that they're main purpose is carrying treasure rather than combat

I really think the atmosphere in 1 was top notch. The haunting or urgent melodies that would play in the over world were amazing, and the environments truly felt like I was in the wilderness.
The atmosphere in 2 was nice, but lacked the bleakness of the wilderness. I get that you're not stranded like in 1 and your life is in danger and all, but it was I guess more a cute sort of comfines than a peaceful wild one, if that makes sense.
Now the orchestral styling of Pikmin 3 and it's detailed environments were gorgeous, but it's like comparing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DS to 3ds: it's pretty but hella distracting. It's a lot harder to notice things because of sensory overload I get.

>>389888615
no (what?)
no

>similar to Kirby
Use unique abilities to progess through the map. Basically each pikmin is a Kirby. transformation. And how the games are geared towards kids.

What the fuck do you even do in Hey Pikmin?

I feel like Pikmin 2 substitutes the more grounded wilderness feeling of the first game for a weirder, almost avant-garde atmosphere. The tone in the caves in particular, which are often designed to be abstract and illogical, is often plain bizarre.

I agree with this. You know, I suppose it's for the best considering that if they kept trying to make it feel like 1 it would probably get stale or bad.

>>389886669
I played it on release and I'm convinced it was rushed to release. Staggering little content considering I paid £40 for it

I heard it got DLC and it's intended control scheme patched in a year later but I never went back to it.

>>389889651
I only played the demo but it seems like you progress through a nature themed 2D mario-esque level where you have to use each pikmin's unique ability to kill enemys, break/move terrain, all while looking for 3 optional treasures in the map.

I think it's a nice blend of elements from both Pikmin 1 and 2. The juice limit is the best compromise between a time limit and no time limit.

>>389886669
what the fuck happened to pokemons designs

>>389891437
they copied off digimon

>>389886669
It ok

>>389886669
Use Wiimote controls.

All 3 Pikmin games are better games with pointer controls.

I like it, but having the charge command instead of c-sticking still bothers me.

Too much dialogue

>>389887598
The final boss is the most entertaining part of the trilogy. I like to remember Pikmin 3 for the boss and the challenge modes.

>>389893812
I have to agree with this. If you had Pikmin 1 with no overworld dialog past the small chunks when a part is found, the daily reports, and Pikmin 2's pikilopedia then it'd be perfect.

>>389886669
I liked it

collecting treasure was more fun, and I missed reading the piklopedia.

pink pikmin made the game too easy also

>>389886669
My favorite one.

>>389893421
What do you mean, "it alright"?

>>389886669
Too easy, but I liked it more than 2.
