Ultra Spicy is very underwhelming. The only thing it makes noticeably more difficult is the fight against the Quaggled Mireclops due to the tighter drowning time limit. Elemental deaths in general are faster but there are not enough enemy types that take any real advantage of it and the extended whistle range makes it even less of a real problem. Pikmin 3's fundamental enemy design doesn't lend itself to a more interesting challenge due to how forgiving they are in general with them being slow to start attacking, there being too many ways to stun, and Pikmin kill limits that are way too reserved. This is most obvious with the mini-bosses. Another issue with the fundamental difficulty is that Pikmin walking speeds are also now unified when they follow you instead regardless if they're a leaf or a flower so your squad's hitbox is way smaller. Enemies weren't really tweaked to take this into account, making them even less capable of picking off stragglers. This is most obvious with the Scornet Maestro fight. Now the lower difficulty is great for getting newcomers into the series but c'mon Nintendo! Give me the option to let enemies be able to wipe out over a quarter of my squad if I'm not careful. Edit: Also Yellow Pikmin are probably the cutest, at least after the shorts came out.

This was my first Pikmin game, and I had a lot of fun, but it was pretty dang easy. I know that this is a game meant to be replayed a lot, like an arcade game where you get better and better to achieve better scores and stuff, but I only ever played through the main story once. There are a few games I personally like to play for getting better scores and stuff, but this unfortunately isn't one of them. I think your difficulty slider idea could make it so this game can be less of a score chasing game and more of just, you know, a hard game to beat if the player chooses. If you are the type of person that likes to see how much juice you can finish the game with and improve your time management skills and all that, keep the settings as they are. But if you want a game that is just hard to beat on its own, make the settings give you less juice and less time, turn monster difficulty up, etc. It would make the game more inviting to different types of players.

@GL_099

3 жыл бұрын

I actually dislike difficulty sliders, they make it really hard for me to grasp what he "right" level of challenge is for me. As a completionist my first instinct would actually be to put everything to max but it might not be balanced for that. I actually thought Ultra Spicy was just right for me, not difficult but not the cakewalk that it used to be. Especially the lower Pikmin limit made me realize just how efficient I could be, to the point where the thought of having 100 pikmin made me feel overwhelmed. 60 was just right. And yeah, sure, if you're somewhat efficient you'll have a HUGE Juice buffer, but two things: For one,not everybody is that efficient. In fact some people might play in a very reserved way. I remember the first time I played Pikmin 1 I was dead set on the idea that I should collect no more than 1 ship part a day, trying anything more would be too risky, and it bit me in the back when I realized I wasn't able to defeat the final boss within one day. That reserved style of gameplay then led me to spend a whopping 120 days to complete Pikmin 2, I can't even really explain why I took that long that time. Of course, I have since learned to play the games better and improved my time in both games massively, collecting everything in less than 20 days in both games with ease. (Yes I know you can go way beyond that. I'm not honestly too great on micromanaging everything, it stresses me out trying to be perfectly efficient with every move I make. I am quite happy with what i got and I know I could do better if I really tried, but I'm not going to do that) And the other thing, there was an achievement for having a 30 day juice buffer and given that the amount of juice you get was effectively cut in half, getting that achievement on Ultra Spicy actually felt immensly satisfying, and it gave me the motivation to complete the game before the end of Day 20. Whether or not that achievement was ever intended for Ultra Spicy, the devs definitely knew how easy it was to get a Juice Buffer and chose to not cut that down to the absolute limit. And I didn't even realize the days themselves were apparently shorter too. I think they did more than enough.

@@GL_099 What if the difficulty sliders were unlocked by beating the game on the hardest difficulty? That way, if you play Ultra-Spicy mode and see that it is just right for you, you don't really have to change the sliders on your next file, because you already know which setting you like best. Then the sliders wouldn't really affect you negatively, but they would help others who want even more of a challenge than Ultra-Spicy offers.

That's only if you are playing with random people. In Pikmin you would most likely be playing with friends (playing with random people would get kind of toxic, they might keep ruining it). Sure, there's still the small possibility of high ping, but you can always just... Not play with friends online. It's not like you need to do it. After covid, it wouldn't be nearly as necessary to be online anyway. And if you really need to, you might be able to find a way to get a better connection.

I'm not trying to justify nintendo not adding multiplayer, I think they should have, but from a game design and coding perspective, pikmin online is much harder to pull off properly than splatoon.

The downside is that you always have to recalibrate the gyro by clicking on R, and so you lose a button to change your pikmin type.

Ever since pikmin 2 i wanted coop campaign, but challenge mode and 2 player battle were great too. My brother and I played through everything in co-op, and our general rule was we each get half the pikmin which in ultra spicy means a cap of 30 each which really limits what you can do because sending 1 thing back significantly lowers your damage output making fights much deadlier. The only complaints i have are that battle bingo is kinda boring with just 2 people and that the main story is very linear for a pikmin game. (Easiest to measure by how much of the game is left after you get blues, in pikmin 1 you still have 1 entire area and most of the level you find them plus the minor revists. In pikmin 2 you still have most of Valley of repose, the perplexing pool, and wistful wild plus small parts of awakening wood. In contrast with pikmin 3 you get them and should have about 1 days work at each area if you don't just go straight to the final boss fight.) I don't have anything against linear games in general but pikmin is basically the best console RTS ever made so its weird that in pikmin 3 you are so limited in what order you can complete the game in.

Without you I probably wouldn't have given Pikmin much attention - and boy, how much charm and personality I would've missed. Sure, Pikmin 3 Deluxe isn't perfect, but it still only took me two in-game days to know I loved it to bits, and two real days to start blabbering about it to anybody who would listen. Now I'm hoping it performs well enough to convince Nintendo to give us 1&2 remastered or - dare I say it - the fabled Pikmin 4. Please Nintendo, I need my babies. They're adorable and bring so much joy and _the yellow ones are cutest_

Pikmin 3 deluxe is the best selling Pikmin game. So we might get the coveted Pikmin 4.

Nothing beats pikmin 2 on the Wii tho. And pikmin 2 doesn’t have a time limit in the story mode like pikmin 3 does. You can’t even enjoy the atmosphere in pikmin 3

Me playing through Hyrule Warriors and seeing the "Go here" functionality.. Thonks

I'm SO glad you've had a delightful time with this game! I'm not a huge Pikmin fan myself, so my hope for this game's success existed solely for people like you. Have a blast as you continue playing it until the glory that is to be Pikmin 4 comes out :)

Arlo got me into pikmin after having never played one of the games before. 3dx has been my first pikmin game, and I've gotta say... I really can't wait for 4.

19:15 rock pikmin are literally just yoshi.

I haven't heard about Arlo's nephew since he was "my 3-year-old nephew" playing Mario Odyssey 🥺

I'm so glad that I watched this video. I just got to your comment about how you can complete the levels even if you go beyond the time limit. Time limits in video games give me anxiety and it's prevented me from picking these games up because I know they work on a time limit system. Knowing that I can essentially ignore the time limit until I get better at each level has convinced me to pick this game up.

I played the demo for Pikmin 3 Deluxe and after finishing it and figuring out all of the concepts, I understood your love for the series.

I think the side stories are a preparation for mission mode.

Arlo: you can't truly dismiss. Me: have you tried dismissing with the captains?

arlos reviews are so good to listen too while cleaning the house

Pikmin 3 is my comfort game (at least the main story... the challenge mode has the opposite effect). The music and the visuals are just so relaxing, and I don't even have a problem with the difficulty. Sure if I was in the mood for a challenge then maybe I'd want it to be harder, but as it is its a very chill and relaxing game for me. It helps that I hate it when Pikmin die, so having easier ways to avoid Pikmin deaths is nice.

@thebiggestproblem I’m sure you made the right choice. I just finished 3 as my first pikmin game, and while it’s a lot of fun, I really don’t think it’s worth full price like it is most of the time. I haven’t played the demo for 4 yet but the trailers make it look like all the previous games in one, and I’m hoping it’s a lot more expansive than 3, which has a short story and then two mission modes to supplement the run time. Also it runs at 720p 30fps, which is kinda ridiculous for a full price switch game. Don’t get me wrong though it’s definitely a great game worth buying on sale or used though.

Pikmin is the one franchise that isn’t allowed to be ruined by nintendo

Not the creepiest thing on the internet I suppose

I've played and loved Pikmin 1 and 2, but never got 3 due to not owning a Wii U. So glad the Switch version seems to have a whole lot going for it, and I couldn't be happier that Co-Op was brought back. Great video as always, Arlo!

hey arlo! Thanks to you, i got Pikmin 3 and i am loooooving it (well the demo really). I don't get the game til christmas but ive been playing and playing and PLAYING the demo over and over again! Thanks for making me addicted to another nintendo franchise.

Used to play the first Pikmin for the Gamecube back in the day, but this was my first Pikmin game I've picked up since then and I have to say it's so good! My only complaint is that I feel like I finished the main story mode pretty quickly even on my first try, only took a few hours. Although considering the amount of other content like side stories and mission mode there's still plenty of game left to be played after finishing the main story. Love the game so far!

Me who's only played the Pikmin 3 Deluxe demo seeing Pikmin walking underwater: Impossible.

Do I enjoy playing pikmin games? no, not my style. Do I watch every single video Arlo puts out about it? Absolutely. Hearing Arlo happy makes me happy.

I've tried the demo, and I think I'll make the purchase with my next paycheck. The demo *really* sold me on it.

Now all we need is metroid prime 4, and a rpg style paper Mario.

I hope they bring back the Bulbmin in Pikmin 4. Ultra-spicy mode's limitations only make one specific day more interesting... The day that you start with no juice about halfway through. It's still pretty easy to get enough juice back though... I think I had about 20 days of juice left when I beat the game in this mode.

If you know that day is comming you can just not collect the fruit from the first boss. Collect the corpse and bring the fruit back to base but don't actually collect it. Sadly the boss corpse despawns after 2 days (so you can get it the next day only), this means you can't give it to the blues like i wanted to. The most impactful difficulty change is the reduced max field count, specifically when playing co-op because you then split the cap for a personal limit of 30, and that makes it harder to push separately as if you send something back you may only have 20 pikmin to fight with, and thats a recipe for losing more pikmin since its harder to rush down enemies and minibosses.

pikmin was my childhood, man. i grew up playing pikmin 2 in my basement with my siblings sitting next to me. i have it hard wired into my brain that if you hear the footsteps of the gatling groink, you should run to the other side of the map. i always loved this series, and i always will, mostly for its game mechanics and the pikmin themselves. whats not to love? its really nice to know someone who loves this game as much as I do. And winged pikmin are the cutest.

Love listening to Arlo talk Pikmin, I played the demo and it doesn't seem like a game for me, but i just like that he lives it so much.

Ya know I have never had a hard time with the gyro function maybe I'm just dumb and don't notice

I enjoyed the dungeons in Pikmin 2 and it remains as my favorite Pikmin game to this day, while 3 is amazing it was just too short for me.

I got the Pikmin 3 Deluxe demo because Arlo is so passionate about the series, and I could not stop playing it. I played through that demo 3 times because I wanted to be playing Pikmin and it was all I had. My brother played it and loved it too, so we bought it. We skip a lot of games because we don't have the funds for them, but this was a must have. Now I've replayed the entire game like 6 times, by myself and with my brother in co-op, and we've poured hours into getting as good of scores on the time challenges as we felt we were capable of. They were fun, but they were bite-sized Pikmin content we could play over and over. I love this game so much now, it's hard to believe I didn't care about Pikmin at all until Deluxe. Pink Pikmin are the cutest by the way.

Thanks for the video Arlo. I am glad to hear that they included support for the Pro controller.

As someone who feels like, almost identically the same way about Pikmin 3DX as Arlo, this video was a delight to watch.

Arlo was suppressing the urge to scream out of joy.

Ah, this is the video I was awaiting eagerly from you. You’re my go-to pikmin opinion guy. I can now safely say I’ll be getting it!

Only Arlo... only Arlo can make a 21 minute video about one PIKMIN game omg

Flying Pikmin are the cutest Pikmin IMO. Rocks come close, but the little glasses on the Flying ones with that adorable high pitched voice push them over the edge for me!

Arlo is the only reason I tried out the demo, and I loved it, definitely want to get the full version.

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO, FINALLY!

I really loved mission mode, especially with my brother. We've been playing it a lot and its a blast trying to get the platinum!

As a newcomer to the Pikmin series, this was definitely a hit. In the rough that has been the year 2020, Pikmin 3 DX is an absolute diamond.

Arlo talking about the wii's problem about how you got to perfectly point the wii remote at the screen, and make sure the battery doesn't run out, is the most true thing I've ever heard, and I've seen more than most of his videos.

Tiny yet murderous Best description of Arlo’s friends ever.

Score: 6 out of 7 idk

It's always a good time to view a new Arlo video.

I stopped watching his news roundup videos but his reviews are very satisfying as always.

You see, most people would see this challenge, and attack Pikmin, talk about how it's not that good. But we know Pikmin is wonderful, so that's a losing gamble. Instead, hear me out... Donkey Kong. You see, unlike his spin-off series, Mario, there is not a lazy main game in the DK series. The original trilogy is a series of Arcade classics, and holds the only instance of evil Mario. The Country series holds many of the best classic platformers and have some of the best presentation on the Super Nintendo. Jungle Beat is an amazing, often forgotten experience that is impossible to find elsewhere. And then the reborn series of DKC holds the best platformers of prehaps all time. DK is not only an icon, but he's been there since the beginning and only produces quality. All hail the King of the Jungle Beat.
