Well, I was listening to the recent IGN Wii-K in Review, and was very disappointed to find out that well.. they severely dislike the Subspace Emissary. And they just go off on it..
My spoiler free summary below:
This info all comes from 9-16 minutes into the podcast. There is a lot of spoilers in the podcast though.. so you've been warned.
Anyway, they do go on to basically say the multiplayer is amazing.. as always.. And almost everything else is great..
So.. what you guys think?
I, for one, was really excited for SSE and I'll definitely still give it a chance, but it is a huge disappintment to read this. I hope some other impressions will spin it into a better light..
I'm only about 1/4 of the way in to the podcast so if I find any other info, I'll make sure to post it..
