I am just finishing Luigi's Mansion 3 and while I enjoyed it, I was annoyed by two things:
.- poor controls
I really don't remember being this pissed off at the controls on 1 or 2, I absolutely adored LM2 on the 3DS and I can't remember if I had issues with controls but I think if I had had them, I'd remember. Maybe I just played it the wrong way and was too lazy to learn them properly? don't know
.- a tacked on co-op component in a series known for its single player experience. like, why nintendo?
my memory is hazy but multiplayer on LM2 was completely outside the main game, it was a side-game and fun for what it was and a nice addition but the meat and potatoes was the single player experience. In LM3 you get gooigi, which is a replacement for people like me that don't have people to play co-op with...
why do devs do this? I will never understand it. Get people interested in their single player experience then insist on adding some shitty MP competent, same with resident evil 5 after 4. I will never understand what is the line of thought there. give people what they do not want instead of what they want. no idea why there is noone in the dev team who says "hey, but that's multiplayer, won't we alienate the fanbase by putting that???"
is not as bad on LM3, you get through the game nicely on SP but you can tell, it's not the way it's supposed to be played.
anyway, what's your order?
I am for LM2>>>> LM3>>>>LM1
how about everyone else?
