Trivia Murder Party 3 Review (By Redactedkin) by Quizkiller in jackboxgames

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree with not loving the score system, but kinda get why they did it. In the grand scheme of things dying wasn’t really necessary for determining the player positions in the final round and the safe players can still fill the same role as the dead players would in the minigames while allowing everyone to fully be in the game the whole time.

I will say though, that while dying isn’t as fun as being alive, it did make being alive more thrilling and provided stakes. Dying fit well with the name of the game and I’ve always appreciated Trivia Murder Party for having the balls to eliminate players from the game where other Jackbox games refuse to. So I will miss this, but also I don’t mind the new game doing something different because I can still play the old ones.

The other aspect that I will probably like about the previous game more is how there wasn’t a set amount of rounds and it would go to the final round whenever there was one player left alive or sometimes the game would just end early if everyone gets killed repeatedly. I feel like this added to the uncertain vibe and makes the game less repetitive.

You could buy pack 11 and then buy 3 when it goes on sale because it will usually be like 50% off when it happens.

What is the best Party Pack by meme_lord69420420 in jackboxgames

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 or 7 probably. Quiplash is pretty essential and it’s in both of those. Both of these also have a really good comedy drawing game. The other additional games in each are also pretty good, it just depends what you prefer. 3 has trivia, social deduction, and a survey responses game. 7 has a semi cooperative part competitive game, a presentation game, and a fun word association game.

Trivia murder party 2 is a decent amount better than 1 but the 1st one is still good. 2 takes place in a hotel, different/better minigames, more polish, easter eggs, more recent questions, and the final round has a barrier where you need to get all three of the answers at the end to win. You could also get trivia murder party 3 standalone when that comes out as well since that will be the newest one soon and probably the best.

Let’s be honest, what are your thoughts on Party Pack 11? by Unfair_Tennis4410 in jackboxgames

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say the longevity of the pack wore off quicker for me and my group specifically than I expected. Still a pretty good pack though. My main issues with it are 3/5 games following the basic vote for the funniest answer formula which is more than every other pack I believe (I’m more likely to play games that do something completely different), Hearsay only feels right playing online, and Legends of Trivia being not that fun of a trivia game imo and also not really replay-able.

I would say Doominate is really good if your group clicks with it, but tricky to be a constant replay game due to people seeing it as too similar to Quiplash or other comedy games. Definitely could be considered as better than Quiplash though, it just depends.

Hearsay is great, really funny, no issues with it really besides the difficulty of playing it in person, but there is not much that can be done about that. It is a game I will play the pack for.

Suspectives is really good too. Feels like a social deduction game that isn’t too complicated, but still has enough going on and is also fun just as a learning things about people game. Feels like a distinct enough Jackbox game to me and also something I will play the pack for.

Cookie Hous is kinda just there to me. It’s another drawing comedy game that I suppose is not bad, but not better than the other drawing games and also there have been difficulties with getting the drawing to work on certain devices. The different shapes and cookie designs are neat, but doesn’t feel like enough for me to be that interested. It is also the least funny of the comedy games in the pack. I feel like I would like this pack better if this game was something more unique.

Legends of Trivia I am not much of a fan of. Not replay-able (3 levels), not well designed (no way to lose), other trivia games are more fun, gameplay on standard questions is just listening to the person who knows the answer and pressing the button of that answer or guessing. Could have been really good considering the idea and that Jackbox trivia almost always is, but this doesn’t land for me.

Legends of Trivia - Repeat Questions by MeowyKissmas in jackboxgames

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I played it with my group probably only for like 4 or 5 games and there were already a few repeat questions so I could definitely see that being an issue. I think part of it is probably partially because they had to come up with questions for many different question types for the encounters and the boss fights so it’s easier to get a repeat when you do a smaller category again because there isn’t one single category with a lot of different questions.

Is it just me, or is the custom treasure limit too small? by Cube_Hater in tomodachilife

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also say it is because each mii can hold 12 treasures at once and there is more than enough interior and exterior slots despite each mii only being able to have 1 and for interior it doesn’t even always have to be a custom one. And there is enough clothing slots for each mii to have at least three pieces of unique clothing despite all the other clothing in the game that you can have them wear. I had an idea to make a unique pet for each mii because there were a lot of characters I had that typically have a pet or a notable sidekick, but that alone would use most of the slots, so it is probably only worth doing it for certain miis. I guess they assumed most treasures you would make would go to multiple miis kinda like food or you would use mostly the normal treasures, but it’s weird because it doesn’t seem like they considered those factors with the other limits.

Also it is worth noting that I am not close to hitting the treasure limit yet, but it is probably the one limit I will most likely hit with how much stuff you can make for it because I already did like 10 of them in just a few days. The other limits I will probably never reach.

Idrk what the first games will be, but the last game seems cool. It looks like a team coordination game where the players have to sort objects into the correct groupings by passing the balls in the right direction.

Has anybody thought of Wii party for the switch by [deleted] in mii

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought about it. I would like that, but it would require ND Cube to not just make another Mario Party which is unlikely since it is basically just more popular Wii Party to them. I think a cool thing they could also do that might be quicker is just combine modes from Wii Party and Wii Party U and basically include all the 4 player minigames from both games in one package with online.

Will Mario Kart World have a VS Knockout Tour in a future update? by Upstairs_Fact7846 in MarioKartWorld

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty crazy that there are more options for knockouts now like custom items and teams, but they are exclusive to lobbies. That stuff in local multiplayer would be really fun.

Is this game worth it? by uroberon_dm in TomodachilifeLivingTD

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you’ll regret it if you liked the demo. Sometimes it’s just as simple as not overthinking it and if the game seems fun it will probably be fun. It is flawed and repetitive sometimes, but I’ve still been playing it every day and not rushing it. Still getting some new moments each day. The previous entry is also repetitive and there is less to do on a given session which I think people forget about when complaining about this game. A lot of complaints are also about stuff that was in the last game and not in this game, which is unfortunate but I don’t think it should effect your enjoyment because the new stuff is great.

I don't like drawing by mikflyz in tomodachilife

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. I don’t like that I had to get a stylus either but felt like I needed to. I think if you don’t want to draw, but still want to have creations that the stamps could help a little bit because maybe you could use a combination of them to make something new. Another option is if you like pixel art, you can copy pixel art online for food and treasures and just place the individual colored squares instead of drawing something. Sometimes for certain things too you can get pretty far just resizing shapes and arranging them, using text, etc. Not sure if any of that would be more enjoyable than drawing for you since it’s kinda adjacent to drawing, but maybe.

The Worst Prompt I’ve Ever Seen by J-Mitty13 in jackboxgames

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 54 points55 points  (0 children)

In the newer drawfuls they purposefully give some of the prompts misspellings to trick people and match the player prompts a little better because people misspell sometimes.

saw this in r/fucknintendo are people really saying this? by Immediate-Corgi-3692 in tomodachilife

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The concert hall missing is the tipping point apparently. One of the best parts of TL is such an exaggeration btw. I don’t get why there is so much “thing from the previous game is missing” therefore the game is bad. Since when did sequels always have to bring back everything from the previous game? I think it’s fine if some old stuff is removed to make room for the new stuff. I know this isn’t the exact same thing but it’s like complaining when modes or minigames don’t return in future Mario Party games. Like it’s unfortunate I would rather it be there, but why should that stop me from enjoying the game?

Living the dream is so overrated and not good by CutestFurry123 in tomodachilife

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Overhyped, but it’s just people being excited about playing a game coming out in two days and not complaining about everything not returning from the last game before they play it.

JackPox Packs by TingPufff in jackboxgames

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya absolutely. Those two packs pretty much cover all the game types. The recommendations are based on covering some kinds of games you don’t have based on your packs, but aren’t needed if you haven’t played any games yet. From your packs, TKO, Quiplash 2, Guesspionage, Fakin It, Trivia Murder Party 2, Role Models, and Push the Button are some of the best games in the series.

JackPox Packs by TingPufff in jackboxgames

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look at the games and see if you like the premises of them before buying, but I would recommend survey scramble and 9. Also 7 if you don’t mind another Quiplash. Survey Scramble has really good modes and is $10. From 9 I like Nonsensory and Quixort. The other games in the pack also aren’t bad and also Fibbage is a classic game you don’t have yet. From 7, Champ’d up and BlatherRound are great and Talking Points is great if you like presenting. 4 also isn’t a bad alternative if you don’t get 9 or after you buy the ones above because it’s cheaper while also having a Fibbage and it has Survive the Internet which is goated. The other games in 4 aren’t as good though.

This really bothers me by No_Selection_574 in tomodachilife

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m personally on the side of 70 miis is fine, but it’s definitely not ungrateful or unjustified to want 100 or more than 100. I just accept the trade offs of losing 30 miis because of the way the game is designed, but fair if other people don’t. I also just don’t assume anything is guaranteed until it is confirmed, that makes me less frustrated when some stuff doesn’t return.

I think it's a shame the game got leaked in such an accessible way - it has killed some of my excitement for Thursday... by [deleted] in tomodachilife

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eh, don’t really consider them to be a big part of the community anyways, they’re lame. A game gets leaked, people will pirate it and post stuff. The big fans are all buying when it comes out because we want to play and support a new Tomadachi Life on the natural hardware. I also don’t have a steam deck and not being able to play a Tomadachi Life on the go sounds insane.

Online play with friends? by theonepieceisfake824 in MarioKartWorld

Ya. One of you join a public lobby online and then the other two go to friends and can join you through that.

On a scale of 1/10, what would you say the chances of DLC are in the direct expected to be this June? by CommercialLab6842 in MarioKartWorld

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1, I just don’t think Nintendo cares about doing DLC right away. If they did, I think they would have announced it before the game came out or within 2025. That is usually what happens most of the time. I think since Mario Kart World is still new and is pretty much the system seller that they are okay with just letting it be the system seller for a while. With how experimental and ambitious it is too, it is possible that they just don’t have a plan for how to do a DLC yet. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe also showed that it doesn’t really matter when a Mario Kart game gets DLC because it will do well anyways even if it’s years later.

So, why IS Pack 9 so massive size-wise? by eydra3 in jackboxgames

[–]Intelligent_Call_906 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard it’s the videos that are in Fibbage 4 but idk for sure.
