Comment on What gaming console you owned disappointed you the most and why ?
Meatwagon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks agoIt was such a long time ago I just remember more of the vibes than the solid reasons I didn’t like it.
*The levels weren’t as open as 64. It felt more guardrailed. There was a lot less exploration.
*My favourite thing in 64 was getting flying caps and flying around which wasn’t a thing in Sunshine.
*64 had a darker, more mysterious tone that felt a lot more meaningful and Sunshine felt very frivolous
*cleaning up the sludge wasn’t a very fun minigame for me, it was a weird villain
By itself it was probably a good game but it shouldn’t have been a Mario game.

Fair enough. I liked that the maps felt lived in and connected, so exploration was actually more compelling for me in Sunshine, and I tend to lean away from darker games in general. Different tastes.
