RegularGuyGamer | 2,013 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Man, I just can't get behind FOMO buying. It would be co if it ends up being a Cinderella game but with a name like Cooking Mama, I just can't see it happening. LRG games will ultimately have lower numbers and be better quality games even if it doesn't end up having a weird limited run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the epiphany one day that for the rest of my life I can probably only afford to buy x games. Do I want Cooking Mama to be one of those games? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how everyone assumes this is either FOMO buying or full-set collecting. I am doing neither. I actually like Cooking Mama and enjoy collecting dumb games. This one probably isn’t good but I want it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,739 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) I'm surprised that so many of you assume it's a terrible game. I've always heard good things about the Cooking Mama series. I haven't played it, and I'm sure the game isn't for everyone, but for those who get into the game, I hear they really enjoy it. The fans probably fall under the "casual gamer" group which is why you aren't hearing from them here. Edited April 10, 2020 by TDIRunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutling | 31 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Without the hype, this legit would have been a game i would open and play becasue i love cooking/type games like this lol.

MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Just got my copy of Cookstar which I had ordered from Amazon for $39.99. It was shipped First Class direct from the publisher’s office. If you buy it from their website now for $59.99 it’s probably the same thing. So now they aren’t paying the Amazon seller fee and and charging $20 extra on top of their original MSRP. Sleazy!

ICrappedMyPants | 302 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I tried Arms for the first time last night and it felt really awkward to hold the joy-cons the way they recommend. Does anybody have any suggestions for how to get comfortable playing this game? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,933 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I never got used to it and the game just felt boring and repetitive for me so I sold it. It was awkward trying to get a consistent feel for the play as they tried to instruct it which sucked the fun out of it some as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp | 383 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Arms is actually not too bad and get an actual little workout. I have no idea how to do the controls though. I'm just doing random punches and karate moves pretending I am in control lol. It is just so awkward moving around in the game. That beach ball one is HORRID. I did beat it though on the first mode even getting some rounds perfect. I was doing that free full game trial. For $60 though, no way is it worth that much. I'd get it for $30 or less. Also received my copy of Cooking Mama today from eBay. Edited April 11, 2020 by Skorp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never got used to the controls and that's coming from someone who is a huge fan of fighters. I plan on picking it up when it sees a price drop in the distant future but considering I sold it for as much as I bought it, I feel like I Dodged a bullet.

stephbm6 | 16 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 They dropped the price of Cooking Mama to $39.99 so I highly doubt this is a low print run. https://shop.cookingmamacookstar.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
