      Next Level Games has to be my favorite and one of the best videogame companies of all time,The Mario Strikers series,Punch-Out Wii,and now Luigi's Mansion 3,you can see pasion and personality shine through every single game,and they deserve WAY more credit for their efforts.

Dark Moon didn't sell Pokemon levels, but it did outsell the first game, is one of the best selling 3DS games regardless, and is likely the best selling game from Next Level by far. They were still in a similar situation but still chose to develop the games the fans wanted.
      Granted, they don't have to make a new game almost every year.

      6:00 The 'Burst Ability' is one of those things; really cool and has that needed 'X factor' to boost the game's creds - but at the same time it's totally OP. Like, properly unbalanced. They should have made this a very late-game ability, like after the 4th or 5th Portrait. I enjoyed the challenge of being Outnumbered or surrounded- or planning even so you know to avoid that situation. Now, it's the ''Press the Magic n00b Button and ta-da, level Clear!!'' effect. Meh, I bought and loved the game but it mostly had little to 0 challenge.

      @@ZygonCannar the review is more a discussion on the game, not really a video made to assess whether you should purchase a game or not. I like when the review is a well thought out, fun, discussion and exploration of how the game feels to play and can go into detail on all the little aspects that made it fun/not fun. So personally, I see no issue with waiting months for a more comprehensive review and actually prefer it that way. By then both Arlo and I will have had time to form strong thoughts and opinions on the game and both of us will be ready to have a real conversation about it. If he made a review for Aninal Crossing now he would only be able to talk about the very beginning of the game and even then, anything he says would only really serve to spoil the game for me, rather than letting me experience it myself.

    Luigi has been my favourite Nintendo character since I was a child and I remember how delighted I was when I realized they made a game on the Gamecube where he is the main character, the first Luigi's Mansion, which was a great game. I never played the second one, but this third entry is now one of my favourite Nintendo games ever, the charm, the animations, the characters design, some character ghosts are just purely amazing, and like you I had a child like pleasure more than a few times playing this game, so I believe that it deserves the 7 out of 7 despite its flaws!

      @@Blackkey034 I'm just saying that this game was released first. And it might have affected his scoring of Pokémon Sword/Shield because that game has an open world in a very large(-ish) area of the game, that takes up a lot of graphical power. The result of that making Pokémon look barely above a 3DS game. There is also the mouse cursors spotted in the cut scenes, that will never be patched out.
      Rather than stress the GPU by adding an open world to a game that does not need it, Luigi's Mansion 3 takes care to make a smaller space look perfect! Proving just why that hybrid console was worthy of a port of The Witcher 3, and Breath of The Wild, and a coming port of The Outer Worlds.
      And if Arlo had reviewed LM3 first, and Pokémon now; Pokémon would have only been a 3 out of 7 instead of a 5 out of 7. Mostly because of last month's upsetting reveal of the subscription price for Pokémon Home. A service, yes, a games as a live service, that cannot even implement all of it's features on the Switch. It requires a smartphone to use all those features. Some of those features used to be in the base games in previous generations.
      The Switch can play The Witcher 3 anywhere you take it. It can make Luigi's Mansion 3 look like a PS4 game, while in your hands on a bus! The Switch will play The Outer Worlds in the future. So why is online play for Gen 8 worse than gen 7 was on the 3DS?

    While playing this game, I kinda got the idea that Luigi would avoid collecting money and gems in favor of saving his friends and brother, while Gooigi was more focused on money and gems at E. Gadd's personal request, based off his encouraging the player to collect the money. Just imagine: Luigi and Gooigi enter a room. Luigi starts to think about how to approach a situation when he hears the sound of furniture being rattled. Startled, he turns to see Gooigi searching a drawer or something and pulls out a stack of bills. Luigi asks why Gooigi continues to hunt for money. Gooigi pulls out a gem, calling out "I do it" (as he seems mostly mute). Luigi just shrugs it of as he continues to think and as Gooigi continues to search the room for more loot.

    My only real issue with the game is the slam.
    It's fun, but the difficulty didn't seem tailored around this. There are probably 2 instances in which the combat actually felt really good. And that was an optional fight when revisiting the pirate ship, and the piano stage. That was it.
    Everything else is mostly amazing, top tier. But the combat is actually a step back from Darkmoon. And this carries on to the online aspect of the game.
    Game needed a hard mode / second mansion. I also felt a lot of the later floors started to feel a bit rushed and lacking. Like the gym...dance floor eh, kinda lame.

    • @fight_and_die1573
      @fight_and_die1573 3 года назад +6

      I think it was a waste of potential on their part. Like, you can't go wrong with a dance floor, but at the same time, that floor was just used for a boss, and there wasn't any puzzle leading up the boss. All the floors accomplish what they're meant to be, but the later floors just kinda fill their role for the sake of being a floor.

    I'm surprised how few people have complained about the padding in the game with the cat making you backtrack to floors and rooms you already beat. This could've happened once or twice and been fine but the 3 or 4 times it did felt unnecessary. It and trying to aim with the plunger/objects/toads was more work than it needed to be, especially when trying to aim timed bombs into king boo's mouth for instance. Overall a near perfect game that I'll probably revisit in a few years.

    You can make the slam last longer by timing your button presses as the ghost hit the floor.
    With that it’s possible to get 4-6 slams in one cycle instead of 3.
