So…is it any good? All of the reviews I can find are full of paid shills and I'm not sure the inclusion of Fox and friends is enough to sell me on the game. The gameplay looks like a generic space shooter and, from what I heard, it's like No Man's Sky if it had an ounce of fun. I'm not liking the nigger girl in to opening cutscenes and I feel like the story is going to be full of hamfisted political messages.

The Starfox missions are only about 2 hours of content from what I heard. Which is kinda funny because it seems like a lot of the attention for this game is for the Starfox content alone.

I can't think of any multiplat in recent years that has had this much attention and interest just from platform exclusive character crossover, it's just weird.

>the nigger girl in to opening cutscenes

She's actually Brazilian and even has a robotic arm to make her even more of diversity rep which I didn't even notice till someone brought it up a few days ago.

This sentence doesn't even make a semblance of sense. The concept of paid shills is exclusive to posts pretending to be from random people having an opinion. It's synonymous with astroturfing. A review comes from one guy giving an elaborate opinion. It cannot functionally be "full of paid shills".

I guess that's kind of nice if the characters don't feel like dialogue derived NPCs for the rest of the game. It looks like the entire game can be completed in just under 20 hours though so I might not pick it up for that reason.

And that's my problem, I can't find any unpaid opinions. By "full of paid shills" I mean people that were given game codes and/or the complete toy collection from (((Ubisoft))) before reviewing the game. Call me bias, but anyone that gets their ass kissed by a company is probably going to pull a couple punches when talking shit about said company's game.

I played it, I had fun, the game is good but it runs like absolute shit on the Switch.

If this were a game that wasn't jewed to lose with toys to life, and which was on PC so I could adjust the FOV and camera shake so I don't get motion sick, I would play the fuck out of it.

Yeah, I saw guy on YouTube who got a free package from Ubisoft with all the toys, while he had fun playing and reassembling all his crazy amount of ship parts and then showing a quick camera shot and commenting of all the packaging rubbish it leaves behind it, I would imagine that average player will not get all the ships, weapons and pilot toys (or some who just stay with the default included ship) leaving them with a less fulfilling experience of the same game.

It's also important to point out that Xbone and PS4 only have the default ship in the base game, while the Switch version gets the physical Arwing and a digital version of the default ship, so Switch owners already get more mix and match ship customization just from their version of the base game.

There was also the incentive from some retailers to get the (temporary) exclusive Star Tail furry cat alien pilot not to be confused with Star Fox for free when pre-ordering so that could have potentially driven up early purchases.
