I would spend an hour or more on one delivery just walking from one end of the map to the other! DS is not my usual kind of game but it fits me perfectly.
I had some of this feeling too and found the game is much better in very hard difficulty as it makes all the equipment and weather reports actually useful.
I barely buy any physical media anymore. I didn't intend to be this way but I guess it's a combination of things now with cost of living crisis, new games cost more than before, digital sales are mush better and more games are given away for free with various services. Out of everything we own it is Switch games that have the most physical versions because digital prices of Nintendo games suck.
Personally I'm not going to buy it until some more updates are released and/or it shows significant potential. I can't shake the feeling that it is going to go the same way of something like KSP2, Payday 3 or Cities Skylines 2 where the sequel is too stripped back compared to the original and falls flat...
Edit: I love the first game so will hope for the best.
Fishing Controller and a copy of Sega Bass Fishing for the Dreamcast was good fun.
I'm a big fan of the lightgun more though and have so many good memories. Point Blank, Die Hard Trilogy, Virtua Cop, Time Crisis, Confidential Mission, House of the Dead and even Ghost Squad and Red Steel 2 on the Wii were all so good.
You'd be surprised (or not) how many parents just don't have a clue. I hope the quote and headline but plastered everywhere though so it might get through to some.
I want to be the player when I first see or encounter stuff and not just be watching a trailer. Avoiding spoilers is a lost skill it seems nowadays with the amount of stuff they deliberately pack in to trailers.
Although it's Kojima so I will be watching, a lot :/
I'm not watching trailers or reading articles for DS. The more excited I am for a game then more I avoid everything about it as trailers now days (especially movies) spoil so much.
I think most people are on your side. For me it wasn't until after the first few chapters (when I got to Lake Knot City) that the game really took hold of me.
That's amazing but some game companies should embrace and respect their history more. I spent many many hours doing laps on Hard Drivin' as it's one of the few games I had.
Definitely play the others before 3.
