Battletoads release trailer.

I played for a little bit last night. I liked the visuals much more when I actually played it. Gameplay felt fine but nothing extraordinary. I’ll pry put a bit more into it this weekend.

I played some this morning. Like you said, nothing extraordinary. Definitely something you need a couple beers and other ppl to play with to get the most out of.

In the last 18 months or so, Microsoft gave the Wasteland development team a cash injection, for extra polish and fully voiced NPC's which originally wasn't covered by the fundraiser..

They raised 3mil+ with this stated clearly

"Simultaneously releasing to Windows, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One."

That would be a douche move to go exclusive, if not illegal? I guess they could refund those who bought for other platforms, but what a headache, not to mention PR nightmare.

Of course, it's 100% the right move to release it multi platform.. and fulfil their committment to backers.

Nonetheless, Microsoft have the invested the money to enable InXile to make Wasteland 3, the most polished in the series.. which I wouldn't say is a bad thing.

Apparently the game is actually pretty good. I got it downloaded already thanks to Game Pass. Gonna hopefully co-op it this weekend.

This game is average to below average with the limited amounf of playing i've done so far.

It's not polished enough.

1. Controls suck for PC. Took a bit to get used to the controls. Unfortunately I wanted to play with just the keyboard and it's annoying as fuck. I am sure i'll have a much better experience with a controller as the game suggested but fuckin' A they couldn't put a bit of effort into making sure the game plays well with a keyboard? I reached some olympic minigames and i couldn't beat the bouncing balls because i couldn't reverse the controls (i am a lefty). Was forced to use the mouse and when i went into the options i didn't see anything for the minigame. Had to give up cause i couldn't play it reversed.

2. Pacing is weird. It'll slow down drastically for you to walk to the next area and you're looking for these stupid things by spitting/revealing them. I feel like it takes away from what i really what, side scrolling action or just plain action. The minigames are kinda stupid but whatever. They're minigames. I don't know where i am at in the game but i feel like ive almost as many minigames as sections of fighting. They went overboard with it. It takes away from the action.

3. Story - I was going to shit on the story because it felt so fuckin lame but once the Queen appeared I actually laughed a few times. Story warmed up to me a bit but the banter/jokes at the beginning felt a bit forced and often times not funny.
