How do you feel about ARMS at this point?
This was a weird game for me. I like some nintendo first party ips but can't stand others. Odyssey was the first Mario game i bought since Galaxy for example. So i dont fall into the Nintendrone diehard that believes nintendo can do no wrong.
But that is what surprised me with ARMS. The switch got revealed with ARMS and all the nintendo fanboys i know surprisingly DIDN'T like the game on first impressions. They hated the characters, the style and did not want wagglan again.
While my reaction was the exact opposite, i loved the designs and energetic style that reminded me of Power Stone meets Punch Out. Even the wagglan was fine -though it works better in traditional controller mode- was an okay use. The Wii era had enough shovelware to make us sick of wagglan -along with move and kinect compounding it- but a boxing game is the perfect application for waggle controls and i didn't see the issue.
But now its the end of the year and i wonder what others make of it. Personally i'm still having fun but i'm still really using my main Twintelle and Master Mummy characters because the new characters really didnt interest me and didnt get much play in the ribbon girl and minmin span online. The unlocking arms and customising is fun, though i wish we could get some skins to unlock for more customisation and something to keep you chasing after the initial charm wears off but overall i still really enjoy it and would recommend it to 'some' switch owners but not all.
What do you think of it now its have some months of patches and balancing?
