I felt genuine disgust when Bethesda tried to take credit for inventing Wolfenstein 3D, live on stage. Like, I watched the Devolver Digital conference afterwards, with all it's blood and gore and puke and seizure inducing screen scrambling, and that still filled me with less disgust than Bethesda trying to take all the credit for what was provably ID software's work alone.
Do they think people were born yesterday or something...? Okay in hindsight these idiots cheering on Elder Scrolls Blades probably gave them that exact impression. Nevermind then.

Blacklightning got a reaction from SupahBerry for a status update, Having finally found some time to buy TSR and play some story mode, two big gripes on May 28

Having finally found some time to buy TSR and play some story mode, two big gripes on my mind.
- The events that aren't just plain racing are even worse than ASRT's, and that's fucking saying a lot. At least ASRT's were creative, even if they were tedious and annoying - TSR treats you like a fucking idiot if you're not snaking 99.99% of the time, on a level you can't concievably have attained by the time these missions start popping up, and attempting to play them only leaves me struggling to understand where the fuck exactly you're supposed to get that many points from in some of them (seriously, how the shit do you win Daredevil?).
- The Wisps should not have been in this game. I don't mean that in the usual sense, IE they were stale and overdone even when Lost World did it and don't fit into the game setting - this is a spinoff so I'm willing to grant it more leeway on that. Pick an item, any item from the first two All Star Racing games - nine times out of ten, they'll have a unique colour and unique shape that's usually self-evident as to their function even from your peripheral vision. Example: The obligatory speed boost item in ASRT is a bright purple arrow shape that is identical to the grounded boost pads that perform the same function.
Wisps don't do that. For starters a lot of them depend on having prior knowledge as to what their original function was, which you stand a pretty good chance of not having because the Wisp games are spread out across like 5 different fucking platforms and often have exclusive wisps to one another, and that's if they even follow them (Eagle comes to mind). Next, a lot of them look fucking identical out of the corner of my eye, and I'm sick of having to just guess whether I just picked up Rocket or Burst because I can't take my eyes off the road, and the same again for Bomb and Void. And lastly, they're basically just... things with no self-evident shape even taking all of that into account, and with the exception of Cube and Ghost they have a really hard time standing out from one another. What should have been a cute stylistic choice has instead just been hours of confusion for me and they honestly would have been much better off just doing items from scratch like the other Sumo titles.
But hey for what it's worth the racing itself is really nice and the team mechanics are a huge breath of fresh air in what could otherwise have been another shameless Mario Kart clone. I kinda wish drift boosting didn't feel so weak compared to slingshotting, but honestly I can't tell whether that's because I'm doing them wrong or because of my character choices (they've all been Technique racers so far). Hopefully people are still playing it online by the time I'm done with story.
