the Yoshi franchise > Star Fox franchise.
Not /vr/ but Crafted World is gonna slap.

why did you make such an arbitrary comparison

[Anonymous No.5397882]

Comfy game. Sorry you can't appreciate it OP

[Anonymous No.5397905]

Woolly World > Yoshi's Island > Yoshi's Island DS > Yoshi's New Island > Yoshi's Story

Let's hope the new Yoshi will be as good as WW was, bros.

[Anonymous No.5397925]

Comfy ass piece of game.
It's quite popular in Japan, I guess it's too cute for the west.

Because a good portion of /vr/ can only enjoy media by comparing it to something else. See >>5397905. Idk, maybe I'm just autistic and there's an appeal of ranking this stuff that I don't understand. Though after years of console warring and games like OP getting hated on for not being as good as some other game, I'm disinterested in viewing media as a competition. I just play what I like even if it's a objectively a shitty game lol

No, anon... the autism is needing to rank, compare, and optimize all facets of life. Going with the flow and enjoying things for their own sake is very specifically not autism.

The game that killed Yoshi for me.

[Anonymous No.5398160]

My problem with every Yoshi game after thet snes yoshi, wich was great, is that is too slow paced. Yoshi Wooly World for the Wii U is gorgeous and seems like a very comfy game, but is so slow it gets way too boring, i bought it and never had the will to finish it. Yoshi switch looks exactly like that, so i wont be buying it this time.

[Anonymous No.5398198]

>>5398160
The Shyguys move slower than a snail in that game, what a joke I hate how Yoshi Story is basically the series blue print now.

Yoshi should have just stayed a secondary Mario character but they keep fucking him up in those games too.
>can't keep him for more than a level
>dissolves in water in sunshine
>you can't fucking ride him in Odyssey you have to use the stupid fucking possession gimmick
>doesn't even look like a dinosaur anymore

At least he was pretty sick in Galaxy 2 but why the fuck couldn't we keep him after we clear the levels?? A 30 year old game could do that shit!

[Anonymous No.5398210]

>can't keep him for more than a level
That's fair when yoshi was more of power up
>dissolves in water in sunshine
it does add to the dificulty of the game
>>you can't fucking ride him in Odyssey you have to use the stupid fucking possession gimmick
gameplay wise it's same thing
>doesn't even look like a dinosaur anymore
he never did, he was always cute looking
He was great on Mario Galaxy 2

But the main Yoshi games are just too slow and boring.

>That's fair when yoshi was more of power up
How is that any different from a Fire Flower or fucking Yoshi from Super Mario World?
>>dissolves in water in sunshine
You're not wrong but it's still fucking stupid.
>gameplay wise it's same thing
I don't care it's fucking stupid.
>he never did, he was always cute looking
Are you really going to tell me that Super Mario World Yoshi isn't very clearly designed to look like a Dinosaur while the new Yoshi is some kind of fucked up fraggle thing that lost all his dinosaur traits in the transition to 3D?

[Anonymous No.5398263]

To be fair, the Yoshi on Story aren't supposed to be adult Yoshi, they're like toddler Yoshi.
It wasn't mean to be how Yoshi would look like as an adult, but they kept that toddler design instead of the long-necked adult in SMW.
Maybe he doesn't look as small in Odyssey and Galaxy 2, but it retains the same basic design just a bit taller, but not quite like SMW's original.
I think his 3D model in Mario 64 and Smash 64 is more like what classic SMW Yoshi would look like in early 3D, but they changed it with Melee and Sunshine

[Anonymous No.5398264]

>>5398251
SMW Yoshi is a cartoon dinosaur. Modern Yoshi is a muppet frog.

[Anonymous No.5398280]

>>5398251
I never said he wasn't a cutesy green mascot, I said he actually looks like a dinosaur. Modern Yoshi has lost too many of his dino traits and isn't as cute.

[Anonymous No.5398282]

>>5398263
When's the last time you saw Melee Yoshi, he looks just like SMW Yoshi but with the giant hands from Yoshi Story.

It was hot garbage. I've never felt such disappointment in my life getting this game after loving Yoshi's Island.

I like to imagine that these games were made as if Nintendo was being presented with a challenge, kinda like calling some kid retarded and then he starts going full retard as a response.

Mario like the kid being called retarded and not noticing because he had headphones in and was too absorbed in what he was already doing at the time.

[Anonymous No.5398439]

>>5398406
I'm joking, the game is very kiddy and cutesy, but it has those odd moments of creepy stuff that seem more fitting for Castlevania than Yoshi's Story.

[Anonymous No.5398489]

>>5398439
Castlevania always sucked

[Anonymous No.5398801]

always thought the N64 looked like the bonnet of a high performance vehicle

wasn’t till GameCube that they went full babby

[Anonymous No.5399018]

>>5398160
I have the same problem, its because it's created for young children eg 4-8 as primary demographic. I tried playing yoshi story a while back, i think i would have enjoyed it as an 8 year old.

After Sonic went to shit and there was clearly no need to worry about him, N changed the formula of all the other games. Yoshi’s Island is one of my FAVORITE ALL TIME games. But fuck the other Yoshi games.

The reason they specifically look that way is because they were changed into babies. Nintendo is just retarded and kept the design

So does your mom, too bad she fucked up the night you got a free home

[Anonymous No.5399645]

Felt exactly the same way. Wooly World is GORGEOUS and is a great example of art direction overcoming technically low fidelity graphics but it's such a snooze fest. I've been trying to finish it for about 3 years now.

I'm sure that if they got different devs besides shitty Artoon to make games then Yoshi would be better too.

[Anonymous No.5399675]

I wish the beta got leaked. So much more detail and style. But it was probably a 64DD game.

[Anonymous No.5399779]

>>5399675
It doesn't look more detailed than the final game, just different artistic choices. Beta Story looks good in its own right, but I think the fabric/material textures they achieved the final game looks more polished, and aesthetically pleasant, than the beta.

[Anonymous No.5400049]

>>5399779
Yea that makes sense. I did see some comparison screenshots back then and I remember some of the beta shots were much more detailed. But what you said makes sense. I was fooled!

Anyone managed to get a melon-perfect run in ANY of the levels?

[Anonymous No.5401930]

I don't like how they marketed this game as a true sequel to yoshi's island on the snes. It set everyone up for disappointment and likely a big reason why many don't appreciate the game. If they has put it out as some sort of spinoff at a reduced price, it would have done much better.

Another thing they could have done is actually force you to go through each level of the game to beat it, instead of 1/3 of the levels only being required to beat the game, making it seem laughably short.
