I don't understand whre the total time comes from after each hole. like I clearly wasn't on that course for more than 30 seconds so why is my total time 40?
even when I skip the baking stage I still get 47% on my baking mark. nothing you do matters significantly in these games and you have to wait forever for terrible animations. furthermore what should be interchangeable orders aren't. the lack of effort put into fixing the problems of these games is criminal. they would be bad without these problems but with these problems still prevalent it's clear that each of these games is just the lowest effort cash grab the devs thought they could get away with
I mean people complain about this series, and they are all awful, but they're not significantly worse than 60% of what gets badge of the day on this site
a bad game is a bad game. this doesn't have some piece of historical context that makes it not horrible, it's a derivative launch game that's incredibly poorly paced. quit being apologists for it
there's a lot of stuff designed to slow your momentum and the biggest one is stupid leap of faith BS. these levels are horribly horribly designed. like really one of the biggest obstacles is the camera. what a stupid conceit. like the game itself isn't hard, but things are pointlessly obscured from the player
seriously I can't get over how bad the delineation between foreground and background is. in that there's none. it's totally appalling and unforgivable in a platformer.
there's really nothing clever about trying to beat this fast. it's totally rote. the only skill involved is knowing what the level looks like beforehand
