Really? That's an interesting take.
I always felt like if they wanted to make linear levels they should have just made them all unique, like 3D World.
I will admit there were a few worlds where it did play to its advantage; like, the ice and fire mountain, where you always started on that little ice donut, and then as the world went on the donut changed a bit, becoming partially engulfed in lava by the end of it.
I just felt that those moments were far and few between, and none of the levels felt as memorable as they did in Sunshine or 64.

That's fair, but imagine something like the Been World. Each level offers a new, fun way to play, whether it's combat or time trial.

Oh, which reminds me, there are two other really great things about Galaxy; A: Secret Stars. Finding those hidden secrets off the beaten path was great B. Comets. Adding special modifiers to existing levels was really fun. Anyway, it’s been too long for me to remember any specific levels, but the new challenges every time thing could have alsp been done by making the new levels completely new places. I would say the mechanic of sticking in the same world would have had its use if each world had some unique gimmick, but I don’t believe they did (or if they did I forgot). Like, in FFCC each level has you use some mechanic that’s oft exclusive to that level, like burning down webs to navigate a labyrinth in Tida. If Galaxy’s levels had something like that, I think returning to the same level could add some longevityto thise gimmicks. But as far as I remember at least, each level’s differences were most just aesthetic.

A lot of them had distinct mechanics. I'll pm you some of my favorites.

I can’t actually respond to PMs anymore, but I can still read them!

Alright, cool![spoiler]Why is that?[/spoiler]

Not entirely sure. It’s affected a handful of people—I know Coffee can’t PM either. It says I’ve reached my daily limit, and that I need to enable crossplay and boost my Guardian Rank or something. I’ve enabled crossplay, but it still doesn’t work, so *shrug*. It’s weird, though because Operator 6O hasn’t played Destiny in just as long as I haven’t, but her PMs still work.

Maybe playing a little of... the unspeakable game... would help? I'm obviously an active player, so I could help you speedrun the guardian ranks stuff sometime, so you have to spend as little time as possible in the game you so despise.

Edited by The First Aifos: 5/17/2023 11:41:27 PMHaha, well, I appreciate the offer, but I don’t actually buy Gold or PS+ anymore, so I couldn’t take you up on it if I wanted to. Though even if I could I don’t think I value my PMs that much. I have Speaker & Coffee’s Discords, Altmith’s email, and Odin, Psyntifik, and Ghostmime’s Xbox accounts I can message, and I didn’t really PM many other folk on a regular basis beyond that. In response to the PM, though; [spoiler]-Gravity stuff was definitely fun. I don’t think I like it more than regular platforming, but I do enjoy it. -Boss fights are the best, save [i]maybe[/i] Odyssey. -Story is definitely also the best, not counting the RPGs. Rosalina is also my favorite Mario character, but ironically that actually works against Galaxy’s ranking, because though she was introduced in Galaxy, she’s playable in 3D World, and any game where you can play as Rosalina gets bonus “You can play as Rosalina” points. Galaxy is still very good. “Worst 3D Mario” is still a pretty high bar.[/spoiler]

That's good. I'll guess if you give me your email I'll address you about writing stuff there.[spoiler]I think it's better than the one for Wii U.[/spoiler]

I'm not sure I want to post my email openly on the forums. I'll put it in your RP chain. That way anyone who wants it will have to dig through hundreds of replies to find it! [spoiler]I never had a Wii U, but was that 3D World? 3D World is definitely one of the worst as well, I think, but I put it just a tad bit higher than Galaxy because; A. It went all in on being a linear platformer, so it doesn't have that awkward bit I think Galaxy has. B. It gets those bonus "You can play as Rosalina" points I mentioned earlier. :p[/spoiler]

I just had more fun playing Galaxy, and thought it was more polished.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]That’s fair. I can’t say I agree—if anything I feel the opposite, Galaxy’s controls feel a little clunkier than the others imo—but they’re all very good, so it makes sense people’s rankings shuffle them around.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Respectable. Have a nice day.[/spoiler]
