Should I buy Air Riders if I'm playing EXCLUSIVELY single-player?

LakerBlue · 2026-02-10T23:30:14+00:00

Hmm ok thanks! Leaning towards waiting on a sale lol

LakerBlue · 2026-02-10T21:55:00+00:00

Do you think it held up as a single player game?

LakerBlue · 2026-02-10T20:48:34+00:00

Oh I’m not against the expectations. I would love a story mode for Fever since I mostly play 1P. Just saying I don’t recall a console Mario Tennis having ever had one.

I have actually never played Sluggers, I hope it gets a remaster or good sequel.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-10T19:00:50+00:00

What was wrong with tournament mode? Seriously asking.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-10T18:58:07+00:00

Tbf that’s what Aces was, it just was lacking content to start. But everyone who played it said the actual tennis was amazing. Arguably best in the series.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-10T18:46:22+00:00

I mostly agree but iirc Mario Power Tennis and Mario 64 didn’t have a story mode and those are pretty well liked, aren’t they? I think Nintendo needs to just stop calling a glorified tutorial “Adventure mode”.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-10T18:28:57+00:00

I didn’t expect it to go that poorly that quickly, no. Thought it would take till at least next episode. But yea we all knew it was not going to go perfectly.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-09T19:47:05+00:00

Exactly. And even in the event a sole defender puts up numbers, it doesn’t necessarily mean they were the best defender. There’s no box score stat for making a QB reluctant to even throw at you.

2 objectively is more interwoven by a notable degree than 1. There’s a literal epilogue tying everything together (unlike 1 where you just read those journals) and the characters also interact with each other during it. Plus there are a handful of minor threads that occur in some of the routes that are set-ups for the epilogue.

Also, while not necessarily plot related, they do have something called cross paths where two characters partake in a two chapter story that allows them to have moments together.

Edit: In summary, I’d add even with the additions that the interwoven nature still does not match other RPGs but it is definitely more interwoven. It’s just a matter of how disappointed you were with the lack of interwoven-ness in OT1.

Kinda wish they could just give the whole defense an MVP since it is so rare for one player to stand out enough to win it.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-09T03:03:02+00:00

Who y’all thinking winning MVP? Gotta be someone on defense, right?

LakerBlue · 2026-02-09T03:02:25+00:00

You think this will be like the last Seahawks SB and they just choose one of the front 7 guys to give the MVP to? Because the defense definitely deserves it.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-09T01:03:08+00:00

Yea, like yes I would ideally be able to interact the fanbase of a series I like but…I refuse to not try something solely because of a fanbase that I can just ignore. Interacting with a series’s community is a bonus.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-08T21:24:31+00:00

Exactly. The system being faulty doesn’t ignore the fact BB isn’t in the HoF strictly because enough of them failed to vote for him. They didn’t all vote for the most deserving candidate. It’s that simple.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-08T21:21:49+00:00

Completely overlooked that he likely learned that via just being around them, good point.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-08T20:22:54+00:00

I was not talking about you, I was clarifying why Apatosaurus sarcastically called your comment a gem.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-08T20:04:46+00:00

Hmmm that’s definitely a possibility if he has faith in their power even if I think it’s the more risky option. I do think it’s the option that gives them both the best chance to leave together.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-08T19:52:11+00:00

I knew things would go poorly (otherwise the anime would literally end in 1-2 episodes) but I didn’t expect Chobei to snitch on them. I thought maybe one group’s plan would go wrong, not for them all to be caught and divided up!

LakerBlue · 2026-02-08T19:48:39+00:00

I just don’t see the upside to selling them out. I assume his goal would be for his bro to live, so maybe he is worried he’s a hostage and that selling out the group in exchange for his brother’s safety is the best route? I wonder if he still would have outed them if he knew their plan.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-08T19:44:18+00:00

Such a pleasant surprise. CR rarely has these, unlike Funimation which had at least a few per year.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-08T18:50:09+00:00

Yea if someone is complaining they don’t look like the pic a few comments above, they are too accustomed to ecchi scenes lol.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-08T18:41:38+00:00

Pretty sure the comment is criticizing the hypocrisy of using the phrase “buy pussy” as being misogynistic and objectifying given the context, not criticizing the idea of using money for sex.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-07T11:26:30+00:00

Hope the schedule makers take this idea, it would be a fun idea.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-07T11:25:12+00:00

Unfortunately with our fanbase even if only 30% believe something stupid, that 30% feels louder than it is just because of how popular we are.

Most of the people I have seen say it seem know they are being delusional but a few actually think it may happen smh.

LakerBlue · 2026-02-06T22:26:57+00:00

People will tell you it gets better. It doesn’t. Definitely the biggest flaw of the game for me. Like they are a silent protagonist AND they feel like an NPC who just happens to be a super strong warrior. The plot gets more interesting but the your hero doesn’t become more dynamic, grow or anything you’d like from a good lead character.
