Got hooked into the Tomodachi Life train. It brings the kind of non-involvement and casual play I need right now.
Oooh, how is it?
it has a weird, very japanese sense of humour, but very enjoyable. I don't enjoy making random miis, but the game has a "assisted" mii creastion tool that makes that less of a pain.
You can get very fun dialogues by inserting not-so-random prompts. And you can make things "happen" but also just watch while doing other stuff. I find it so far very enjoyable, and not very repetitive.
I've seen it being compared to The Sims, Animal Crossing or Pokopia. It's much more hands off than the first, and you do barely any interactivity in contrast to AC or Pokopia. Kinda like a movie you make an interaction every once in a while.
Interesting. Thanks for the info!
Bad things: the game does not allow me to share the pictures, or video captures. I understand the reason but not being able to (easily) share funny interactions with my bf is something I definitely don't fancy.
Oh, that's a weird decision. I would think it would work well for a game like this.
It is perfect for a game like this but I guess the freedom you have in prompts that may make your miis say questionable stuff which might work as comedy as in the picture that follows but also may be seen as discrimination when out of context.
It's Rupaul so it's fine
Ah, yeah, Nintendo is usually very careful about user generated stuff.
