Pikmin 4 never

I had a dream last night it was cancelled
Saddest shit

>Play pikmin 2 with my brothers constantly
Here's what we learned

1) Bitter spray is a hard counter to Spicy spray. If someone uses spicy spray in the fight, bitter spray ends it instantly. Only save spicy spray for hauling items, and don't use it in a fight unless you're trying to bait out the bitter spray.
2) Don't collect marbles immediately. Lure your opponent into a false sense of security by bringing them close to your onion, then rush them all in at the last minute.
3) Suicide bombing is devastatingly effective, and can be a game ender if you catch someone off-gaurd. If Louie or Olimar is running at you by themselves with a bomb, there's not much you can do by run away. The best you can hope for is that you find your own bomb while running, loop around, and then kill the pikmin they left unattended while chasing you.

Not a chance. Time-halting dungeons were a mistake

ok alph

No it wasn't. They are both great. Pikmin 1 was awesome but it did what it was meant to do and Pikmin 2 expanded the gameplay. It was better with more pikmin and new monsters and abilities.

Yes but we can all agree that out of the mainline games 3 was the worst

well I dunno about that

I can totally understand why some people woul dislike Pikmin 2

If you don't like the caves, you basically don't like the majority of the game

Someone post "Bupkip 2 was never good"

You want me to screencap your post and send it to you when you're 34, or can you do it yourself?

I'm 30 next month :^), still shit posting here daily.

Caves are fun, but they take away the time aspect of the game, so the optimal strategy in caves is almost always "keep your pikmin by the ship and go spend 10minues clearing the place safely as a captain, then send in the pikmin to clean up or finish off anything a captain can't kill." Challenge Mode, caves with timers, was what caves should have been.

This post, alongside the monumental balancing issues that Spicy spray, Bitter spray, and Purple fucking Pikmin brought to the table, is why 2 is objectively the worst Pikmin game.

It's not a bad game, but it's definitely not really a Pikmin game at its core.

>come back to it now better at videogames in general
>finally redeem yourself and almost never lose Pikmin
>still afraid of losing Pikmin

How are Pikmin threads the most wholesome?

Liking Pikmin 2 better than Pikmin 1 makes no sense if you like Pikmin for the right reasons. If you only like it for the gameplay, sure, Pikmin 2 is way better. If you understand what made Pikmin 1 great, maybe even 3 is kinda better than 2.

It's a cozy series that's mostly focused on exploring an alien world with your naturalist captain. It's in the same vein as high budget national geographic animal shows, in vidya format.

This might be the most retarded thing I’ve read all day. Get your shit together, dude

it's honestly pretty retarded that they didn't release the latter with all the hype for Ridley and Dark Samus in smash

His wording is retarded but he's right

You could pretend to be Louie instead. Same thing.

I kind of agree. 2 had a lot of expansions but barely any of them were good. The addition of semirandom "dungeons" make the game feel less cohesive, ruining the punch a lot of bosses had in Pikmin 1, and makes the world design oddly bland. The sense of discovery mixed with the hurry is gone too, the relaxed but insistent day timer was a good thing in 1. I still like 2 a lot, though. Haven't played 3 yet.

Louie being a psychopath is very good.

I was about 11. I had a ps2 and gtaiii, my friend had a GameCube and pikmin. I played pikmin all night and he played gta3. only made it to the cave level

The only thing that made the world design bland in 2 was the reusing of maps, and even still they were very well remixed for the game. The addition of more human elements in Pikmin 2 was a cool aspect, especially in the caves. It really made you feel small

I would say reusing the maps wasn't the problem, it's that the overworld is so little of the game that none of it sticks. I have the Pikmin 1 and 3 maps committed to memory because they're required to know well for a successful run. The majority of 2's gameplay is in randomized, all-look-the-same cave floors. I barely remember the 2 overworld layout as a result.

Yes, I agree. The usage of brands and stuff was very smart (didn't P1 have subtle human elements, though? It's been a while), but I really feel like there's no proper gluing in this world. The caves didn't seem to follow the same scale as the rest of the world, in a sense, and I really don't like the segmented/more "arcade" vision they give to this game that is very exploratory in its nature.

Oh, Pikmin 3 follows the first game's style of design? That's tight, can't wait to keep waiting for a Switch release

I have 2's maps committed to memory because it let me spend so much time just messing around. My oldest save (all the way back from 2004) is at 64 days. I don't remember 1 and 3's maps as well because I never actually owned 1, just rented it and only played 3 once before beating it and going back to 2
there are some subtle hints in 1 like the skull in Distant Spring and the cardboard boxes

See, a lot of people enjoy the unlimited day feature of 2, and while 3's may be non-existent once you get better, it does force you to explore with deliberate intent. Exploration means something because getting things done in time is crucial to success. Committing things to memory is vital. In 2, however, not memorizing things doesn't penalize you. It doesn't matter how long it takes you, there's no incentive to force it all to stick.

Oh, you ran out of time to do that today? Eh, whatever. Not like there's anything stopping you from taking forever to do it. That's the core appeal of Pikmin to me at least - when we first get our hands on Pikmin 4 some day, it's gonna (hopefully) be a rough road at first, but on subsequent playthroughs the gap between the deadline and your progress will grow. In Pikmin 2 there is no deadline and thus, no real measure of improvement unless you want to beat your own day-duration, which is fine, but there's no real incentive to do that from the start.

my wording is retarded because my english is shit... And the way I said was kind of meant to be little like a joke, but not really since I really mean it.

Yess, that serene kind of pastoral exploration, but with the timer and all the things you need to learn and shit

Ideally Pikmin 4 will let you choose between unlimited days, or unlocking them like in 3.
