    I sort of disagree with your take on Pikmin 1's story. While the story seems simple, it is Olimar's reactions which makes the story of Pikmin 1 so compelling to me. The fact that he is fascinated and yet cautious of all the things that inhabit PNF-404, as well as his often reminiscence of his home really does make him such a charming character.
    Also, in your reasoning as to why Pikmin 3's story is better than Pikmin 2's, you make it sound like it's better because of the larger stakes. There are a lot of stories where the earth is going to explode or whatnot, yet most of them pale in comparison to stories that have seemingly lesser stakes like The Fault In Our Stars or Green Mile.

      Yeah, I think the premise of Piknmin 1 is very compelling. You really feel isolated in that game. In all the other games, you have at least 1 companion and there are messages being sent or conversations being had on a regular basis. In Pikmin 1, Olimar is completely alone on an uncharted planet and no one knows where he is. All you have are his journal entries in which he talks bout the family he misses and the discoveries he's made. He's basically a truck driver but he approaches everything in a very scholarly way. There's something quietly heroic about his story. He doesn't panic. He just does what he can to carry on.
      The enemies you face in Pikmin 1 are also much tankier than in any other game, at least as far as I can remember. That, combined with the time limit, make the odds feel much more stacked against you.
      I agree with your point about Pikmin 3 vs 2. Bigger stakes don't always make a better story. Sometimes the smaller struggles faced by a few people can be much more compelling and grounded. I couldn't see how collecting juice on another planet was supposed to feed a dying world full of billions of people, but I could definitely see how a company could be dug out of massive debt by finding treasure.

      In my opinion, Pikmin 3 does have the best story due to it being a good middle ground between the serious tone of the first and the goofy tone of the second while also having concrete stakes but I agree with your point on Pikmin’s story

    This might be a hot take, but i actully like the aesthetics of Pikmin 3 better than 4. As great as 4 looks, the colors look overly-saturated, and a lot creatures and objects have this weird, almost plasticy look to them.
    Where as Pikmin 3's colors are a bit more subtle and natural. Plus much of Pikmin 4's levels feel like they have too much empty space, where as Pikmin 3's levels look more filled out. But I still agree that Pikmin 4 is the overall better game.

It's based of Japanese mythology, but I'm not the best at explaining it so I recommend googling it if you have the chance.

      It’s an old Pikmin theory that states that the “wraith” creatures (Goolix, Waterwraith, Plasm Wraith) were following Olimar, and cause the crashes. It comes from the Japanese name of the Waterwraith, a combination of Amoeba and Umibōzo, a mythical Japanese sea monster that sinks ships. I don’t know the exact name of the video the theory is from, but you could probably find it if you tried.

      4 sometimes felt like it has a very “nintendo” philosophy, meaning that they didn’t want you to have fun if you weren’t having fun their way. they forced you into one control set with auto lock permanently enabled and the full motion aiming just completely removed. and you also can’t change your controls which is a feature every modern game should have. i don’t get how nintendo manages to screw up the most basic no-brainer things sometimes. 4 is an amazing game obviously but this stuff really frustrated me and significantly worsened my playthrough

      Pikmin 1's can be very good for dandori as well, really honing in to get as many ship parts in a day as you can, but there's a drastic difference between the two games not ONLY in that you're reduced to just one captain, but ship parts also for the most part require a GOOD chunk of pikmin to carry, and more often than not you'll be inclined to stay with them to make sure they don't get screwed over
      Pikmin 2 and 4 bring you up to 2 captains, but also makes it almost null and void because there's no reason to exercise dandori outside of a few select castles, since the time limit doesn't mean anything with the existence of unlimited days

    First of all, i think Pikmin 2's plot is better than 3's, even though 3's plot is on a larger scale of an entire planet in danger, they only TELL you its bad without showing the situation at all. In Pikmin 2, you actually see the company grounds in it's dry, empty and dire state. You actually see just how serious it is especially when the S.S. Dolphin, the ship you worked hard to fix in Pikmin 1, is almost immediately taken away to be sold to pay off the debt. Meanwhile in Pikmin 3 you are just Told that they're gonna starve, without being shown anything that shows how serious it is. Like a wise man once said: show, don't tell.
    Second of all, i think a game's replayability would be more important than it's runtime. Sure a game thats 12 hours to beat may be good, but a game that is 8 hours with players wanting to play it again would be better. So i was a little suprised that runtime took priority over replayability.
    Third, i'd personally not recommend Pikmin 4 if you're trying out pikmin for the first time. Pikmin 2 or 1 would be a great introduction to the game(Pikmin 3 if you want to go easy)

    2 is Peak-min, Music is better than in 1, since 1's music has akways felt off for me and not in a good way, aesthetically, Pikmin has a huge tonal shift between 1 & 2 and 3 & 4, with the later being a lot more clean and cutesy and the first being a lot more alien and bizarre, i very much preffer the first since it felt more unique than just another cutesy series while still having the cute factor simply not having it being the main appeal, so while the graphics are bastly and undeniably superior on 3 & 4, 3 at least feels pretty bland in terms of charm and overcharged in terms of visuals, 4 is definitelly an improvement and closer to 2's atmosphere, but the lower quality of the graphics in 2 manages to elevate the atmosphere to a degree that modern graphics cant hope to replicate. Gameplay wise i'd have to give it to Pikmin 2, since 1 is pretty much the same but with less stuff, 3 is piss easy and doesnt have the swarm mechanic, and 4 cant be played with point controls(wii controls) which are objectibly the best way to play pikmin. Characters i'd also give to Pikmin 2 since it handles them perfectly by giving them charm without needing to have them chat throught the entire game, the President is the main speaker in that game and he only does so in cutscenes while Olimar and Luie remain silent for the most part, making the President special, not to mention his whistle is unique, the shit talking only when it's neesary is very much appreciated, since i never enjoyed the Copai crew or the pikmin 4 crew chatting the entire fucking time or commenting on stuff that doesnt deserve it. the Piklopedia not only let's the best aspect of the series shine (the creature design and nature aspect of the series) but also develops the silent protagonists of the game by having us read Olimar's analitic biology notes or the notes on the treasures, but also having Luie talk about how to cook every living creature in game. That said it's clear pikmin 2 can stablish well it's characters and their charm without the need of the following title's unskipable dialogue. Enemies and creatures in general are also better in 2, Pikmin 3's new enemies are amazing, but the bosses fucking suck both in fights and designs, being the only exceptions the hairy long legs which is optional, and the very final boss, i cant comment much on PIkmin 4's bosses tho, but Pikmin 1 doesnt have enough to be in the discussion, PIkmin 2 has PLENTY and among those plenty there are some if not the most iconic in the series, that and the fact that combat is actually compelling in this game and not laughably easy, makes it ez to declare it the one with best bosses, enemies and creatures. Story-wise i would onl count 1 and 2, since 4 is a clusterfuck that has driven the community in a debate to see where the fuck does the game even fit or if it fits at all into the timneline, and 3, i simply didnt care for the Copai crew at all, the fruit is and feels like a mcguffin, since in Pikmin 1 the objective is simple and inmediate, so the stakes are clear, in Pikmin 2, we actually get to see Hocotate and what's left of the bussiness run by the President, so at least we know what we're dealing with, in Pikmin 3 we're just told that a planet we've never heard of needs us to pick up fruits, but there are never any stakes, juice is super ez to obtain and you can practically stay on pnf-404 forever without the game ever telling you about the people of Copai feeling an impact of this. kinda the same happens with Pikmin 4, sort of. i could go on but aint noboddy reading all this anyways so yeah, Peak-min 2 on top💪

    Pikmin 2 Is definitely the best one to be honest.
    The only problems I really have with It Is that you don't spend much time In the overworld than In the caves but the overworld segments Is at least as much as Pikmin 1, Pikmin Balancing (Purples being too OP and Reds being redundant).
    Day Limit from Pikmin 1&3 barely even matters on repeat playthroughs tbh but I'd still be encouraged to go fast to make the most of my 13 & a half minutes per day.

  • @danielmunoz1275
    @danielmunoz1275 7 місяців тому

    Personal opinion. I'm not saying anyone's wrong, this is just preference:
    I have a hard time choosing from Pikmin 4's or 3's gameplay:
    On one hand 4 has Oatchi, and more mode variety in the campaign. On the other hand, Pikmin 3 has an amazing focus in multitasking with the three captains, the sectioned areas, it introduced the Charge mechanic, it introduced lock-on, it has a great co-op, and bosses in this game have the biggest scale and cinematic feel. Also, a very bad point against Pikmin 4 game play is the permanent non-toggable lock-on.
    For these reasons, I think Pikmin 4 and 3 stand at a very equal level in regards to gameplay; however, purely for personal taste, I prefer Pikmin 3 game play (specially because I can actually aim on my on).
    I also would've added a side-content category. To which I would've given to Pikmin 3.
    Pikmin 1: Challenge mode is just the same campaign areas, with the objective to grow as many Pikmin possible. Not bad, but not that interesting, you play them once and probably never again.
    Pikmin 2: Challenge mode is actually a set of interesting challenges in different caves l, with different Pikmin and resources. Really neat, but if you're not a Pikin 2 caves fan, then this mode becomes a hit or miss. VS mode, fighting for the marble is really fun and challenging; however, it was a mode with a lot of potential and room for improvement
    Pikmin 4: Dandridge battle. That's it. Basically, while not bad at all, it is a least fun version of Bingo battle. Although the luck factor is mostly gone, the stages aren't that great, the AI is a joke in terms of challenge, and against another player is fun, but not as fun as Bingo battle.
    Pikmin 3: For starters, mission mode has stunning stages that really challenge the players time and resource management, the stages have characteristics themes and gimmicks, you can compare your performance to the general results of others. Boss battles, good for practicing and then applying the faster strategies to beat records in the campaign, or just for the sake of beating the bosses again, not the best mode, but one that is appreciated to have. Olimar's campaigns, prologue, and epilogue that add on to the mission mode with more challenges that test strategy.
    Bingo battle. Easily the best multi-player mode of the series. You can seriously screw over your rival, but it isn't completely unfair if they are wary and react quickly, the Bingo mechanic makes it so any player can uniquely strategically choose their priorities, there are a lot of stages, each stage has unique gimmicks and fun designs. Overall it's the perfect battle mode for Pikmin.
    So, to me Pikmin 3 Deluxe is the best game of franchise. No shame to Pikmkn 4 or any other at all, but based on my preferences, quantity and quality of its content, Pikmin 3 takes the trophy home.

    @leeartlee915 9 місяців тому

    I love every game… but what holds back Pikmin 4 for being my favorite of the series is mostly the challenge (or lack there of). In an effort to make the game as accessible as possible, they’ve made the combat kind of automated. I’ve never had an easier time keeping my Pikmin alive. Even in part 3, I would lose Pikmin on occasion. But I literally only lost like 12 Pikmin in my entire playthrough in part 4.
    One thing that I love about this series is that each game has its positives and negatives. No one game outshines the others completely. The first game has the best vibe/story. Pikmin 2 has the most strategy/challenge (as long as you don’t cheese it with purple Pikmin). Part 3 is just gorgeous with really cool concepts (that, unfortunately, aren’t completely fulfilled). And Part 4 has the most ideas packed into the series. I liked both part 3 and 4 but I think I had “more fun” playing part 4. The GC versions feel like different games with their lack of lock on aiming.
    I’ll always have a soft spot for Pikmin 1 as it’s just so frickin’ charming. Plus, since it was mainly a proof of concept, it’s so endlessly replay-able.

    For me the rankings are…
    4. Pikmin 2
    It’s good at the start, but it gets boring and repetitive once you get to the third area and is just a pain to play. I only kept playing since I wanted to beat the game. Caves are bad as well.
    3. Pikmin 1
    It’s a great game with a ton of flaws, but unlike Pikmin 2, it stays fun the whole way through. I adore the time limit as well.
    2. Pikmin 4
    Pikmin 2 but good is what Pikmin 4 could be called. It’s not repetitive and boring, and fun the whole way through. I dislike caves though, they’re just not as fun as exploring one big map. This may also sound dumb, but it felt too long. There’s only so many caves I actually want to play.
    1. Pikmin 3
    Not even a contest. The game is the best looking on the series, has an amazing soundtrack, the bosses feel dynamic and exciting, the adjustable time limit with the fruits is a great feature, and it doesn’t drag on for too long. Just a great game in general.

Being that that's the main part of the whole series, that's a pretty major blow just in its own. Though i love the lore setup and how it confirms some of my biggest wishes and theories for the continuity, it just falls short above the others, except 2, which is still solidly my favorite. Everything in that game just works together perfectly, and mods keep it infinite. Colossal caverns mod is peak infinite pikmin content. Every true fan needs to play that
