this game is really just a front for "what if fnaf but you had a shotgun"

i like the part where you drink alcohol and then go to jail

We need to show this game to oprah

the game does not let you put COVID as a username

perfect game to 100% if you hate your life

this game is an excellent example of psychological torture. sometimes the levels are 5 hours long with secrets near impossible to find. sometimes they're 2 seconds long and all of the secrets are in one spot. when rayman beats a boss he dances over their mangled corpse and i wish i could do the same to him

my only memory of this game is taking a picture of Luigi on the toilet.

auto lock on makes me want to KILL MYSELF

i don't know if it's just bias talking since it's been 10 YEARS since the last full game, but i REALLY really could not get super into this game like i could with the previous three. the dog (and ice pikmin) completely annihilate every challenge the game could possibly try and set up for you. the previous games offered a challenge of higher squad = higher risk of death due to having to manage a million babies, but higher power. in pikmin 4, you can just make them all board the designated tiny hitbox and then hold x at a boss until it dies.

i think the characters in this game are the weakest. i was already turned away by the custom character creation, since one of the main appeals of pikmin is how you were playing as people with actual lives and actual personalities. i don't WANT to play as myself, i WANT TO PLAY AS A 40 YEAR OLD MAN WITH A WIFE AND CHILDREN

ok minor complaints time. the music is MEDIOCRE! the fact that the story is [REDACTED] is MEDIOCRE! the rewind feature makes it feel like there's no real sense of FAILURE! and really? they really did that to MY alph? MY brittany? MY charlie? i will KILL YOU

also somehow they managed to make pikmin with gyro control bad.

why did they lock the good ending behind NOT helping the old man who just fell 20 feet and broke all of his bones
