Oof. I bet nintendrones are already sperging out about that and looking for any reviewers who don't give it a perfect score to witch hunt

Sorry I didn't mean to scare you

Galaxy has a better user score and the same critic score.

already a thread in the catalog

Is there porn of the female rabbit yet

>>13696620

Odyssey is not open world by any stretch of the imagination. The main difference with 64 is that there are far more "stars" to collect, a lot of them are easy as shit, and you don't get booted to the hub every time you collect one. That's it.

>>13696740

Yeah, available for 9999 coins.

>>13696925

Even the hat looks pretty spooked.

>>13696635

I'd give it a 6-7/10 as well

>>13696921

I wonder, is there a mod that doesn't boot you to the main castle after collecting a star?

>>13696606

I've played several hours, and despite the game being very good in a number of ways, I'm disappointed in the lack of cohesion. There's no uniform art style, and the mix of cartoony, and semi-realistic design is jarring, and undermines the universe I hoped to immerse in. There's also a lack of memorable music, aside from what we already remember from past games; and music doesn't have a huge role most of the time (meanwhile I still have Mario 64 songs running through my head).

The Moon collectables come too quick, and too easily; it stops feeling like an achievement pretty fast. I think it was a mistake to make them so numerous, but maybe they thought attention spans of today require constant reinforcement.

Eh. Maybe if it had come out when I was 9.

>>13696675

>>13696878

It's become a fast tradition to make new Odyssey threads while the last one or two are still below the bump limit. >>13619429 is still below the bump limit, and has been bumplocked becuase Mark thinks Odyssey deserves more threads.

>>13696606

3 or World is the best.

>>13696623

Not even a real Mario game.

>>13697041

3 or 4 years ago i remember open world was "the future of videogames", funny how it turned out to be moba shit instead

>>13697007

the artstyle reminds me of some shitty steam greenlight game made in unity. It's really not very good at all. Why they didn't continue the styling of Super Mario 3D world I have no idea… Hell, even a cel-shaded kind of style would have been preferable, would have improved the visuals AND made it a better experience in portable mode, could have been at a higher base resolution

>>13697007

>The Moon collectables come too quick, and too easily; it stops feeling like an achievement pretty fast. I think it was a mistake to make them so numerous, but maybe they thought attention spans of today require constant reinforcement.

They made it with the Japanese market in mind. They play these things most often in incredibly short bursts while commuting.

>>13697056

Are Japs really whipping out their Switch in public? Seems unlikely.

>>13696985

Yes.

>>13697032

>Not even a real Mario game.

Bullshit

It was originally developed as a Mario game and changed to Doki-Doki Panic later on. It's 100% Mario game and even introduced features (such as grabbing enemies) that have been a staple in Mario games since.

>>13697032

>Not even a real Mario game.

Ackhually, that story is more complicated than the rumors that have long been repeated. It was Mario game first, then Doki Doki Panic, then Mario again. I can't recall the specifics off the top of my head.

>>13697076

>Are Japs really whipping out their Switch in public? Seems unlikely.

Yes, just like their phones and DSs, 3DSs, 2DSs, PSPs, Vitas, etc. The culture surrounding playing vidya in public in Nippon is very different from the West's, even with vidya becoming more publicly acceptable here as normalfags eat more garbage, and has been for some time.

>>13697090

Don't forget enemies that have been staples as well, such as Shy Guys and even recurring characters like Birdo.

>>13697090

>The Doki Doki Panic engine started as a Mario-style tech demo using vertical-scrolling mechanics as opposed to side-scrolling mechanics[2]. Shigeru Miyamoto suggested the inclusion of side-scrolling mechanics to make it more of a Mario concept. Nintendo entered a licensing deal with Fuji Television, and the game's development proceeded with Yume Kōjō characters. Shigeru Miyamoto as a result was more involved with the development of Doki Doki Panic than he was in what eventually became the original Super Mario Bros. 2. Many of the game's enemies have become generic Mario enemies, though many were not intended to be that at the time of their creation.

Doesn't seem that way. Mario style is not the same as intending it to be a Mario game.

Mario Odyssey isn't the best game out this year, nor is it the best Mario game. It's a solid 8/10 (which shouldn't be a negative score) with an engaging, really fluid movement system that fails to utilise it the majority of the game.

Most of the worlds moons are hidden behind menial tasks that often repeat themselves. A couple are hidden in shiny hills that need to be ground pound, a couple are being held by NPCs that you talk to, some are hidden up a pole or a tree, and others are just out there in plain sight. Whereas that's fun the first world or two, it quickly gets boring… Rather than enjoying engaging level design and tight platforming, you spend most the time walking around a map for the fourth or fifth time looking for a shiny hill, or a plant pot.

What makes the game even less of a challenge is its -10 coin death penalty. Of course, this would be a penalty if it weren't for the fact that coins respawn after death and any you drop can be picked up again provided you didn't fall off the map. The game is too generous and accessible, and in several challenges there have been more than 10 coins right next to the starting point… Which respawn, meaning you actually earn money every time you die.

People fall quiet about some of the captures, but the trex and tank are not fun. The hammer bros are awkward, and the two actually fun captures right at the end of the game? You do one two times overall, and the other for a total of three times in the entire game, that includes the unlockable "hard mode" ending sequence.

The soundtrack can get painfully bad, or simply nonexistent. The first time you enter Metro Kingdom you'll have to do a night section on it, and any challenge maps that utilise the night section use the same song, but the music playing in the background during this is awful. I actually had to mute my TV and listen to music while playing the game more than once.

The only time I felt challenged was the two postgame unlockable rewards: dark side of the moon and darker side of the moon. Both give you fuck all in terms of rewards, the formers challenge rooms give one or two moons at most and its boss rush gauntlet gives you three moons and an ugly outfit.

The latter only has one challenge, and although it's difficult that's mainly because there's no checkpoints and most of it is above the map, where if you fall once you need to start all over again. That being said it was great fun to complete it, even if the invisibility cap it gives you is a gimmick that gets boring quickly, and it only gives 3 moons which you could make in 5 minutes doing fuck all elsewhere.

Mario Odyssey is not a bad game, but in terms of level design it's a huge step backwards for the series.

>>13697054

Yeah, I agree. Still an exceedingly well made game, though. I'm having fun.

>>13697056

Maybe short bursts is the better way to play it.

>>13696620

Never ever, deal with it

>>13697109

Also while I'm at it, the boss design it's incredibly fucking lazy.

For the most story, you fight the four rabbits one by one. Then you fight them again, using the same attacks, the same tactics, just slightly harder. At the end of the game, an unlockable challenge is to fight them a third time without healing between fights.

The chain chomp holding mother rabbit? You fight her twice, using the same tactics, same attacks, it just takes more hits to capture the chain chomp.

Bowser? You fight him twice, with the second fight once again being identical to the first minus being slightly more difficult. An unlockable challenge is to fight him a third time once again fighting with the same methods.

And every other boss you fight? They're also recycled hard mode battles in mushroom kingdom.

>>13697108

If you read further on:

>Nintendo took the finished Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and reverted the licensing changes to once again feature Mario and his friends as playable characters.

So it was originally a mario-style game that featured Mario and his friends as playable characters; A "mario game", if you will.

>>13697109

>really fluid movement system that fails to utilise it the majority of the game.

This is the worst offense, probably. Agreed on everything you said. It's not up the level of 64 or Sunshine, in my opinion.

Nintendo totally doesn't pay for reviews haha

>>13697135

>deal with it

just go back…

>>13697307

>pay full price for a game to only temporarily own it

Switch softmodding when?

>>13697323

People pay full price for games on Steam, Origin, Uplay, etc. and don't actually own them at all. When renting or trading games at least a physical product is involved.

>>13697326

That's what I'm waiting for.

I really enjoyed the visuals of Sonic Adventure, but something about Odyssey makes me feel that it's going to age like milk.

>>13697032

>3 or World is the best

I can never place 2D and 3D games in a series in the same list, they're too different.

>>13696985

It's called play Banjo Kazooie.

>>13697939

64 was best. Swap with Galaxy and you're about on the money. 3D world needs a giant fucking power gap though.

>>13696606

Every 3D mario game after 64 has been an attempt to replicate the success of super mario 64, but never can do what made the original a smash hit.

>>13697043

damn she's thick

>>13697085

much obliged

>>13697090

Everyone says that now. But where's the proof?

>>13697043

MOAR.

>>13698891

Haven't you heard, if it's not pure nonlinear it's open world. Exploration is a bad thing now.

>>13698949

https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php/Super_Mario_Galaxy

>>13697122

This is exactly why I don't carry around any expensive electronics. There's tons of videos and shit of people getting their belongings monkey nabbed. I remember that one with the LPer streaming pokemon go live. And you just see this black dude walk beside him and steal his phone live.

>>13698585

Because it's the best? Because it's an actual Mario game in 3D?

>>13697949

>I really enjoyed the visuals of Sonic Adventure, but something about Odyssey makes me feel that it's going to age like milk.

Have you seen Sonic Adventure recently? That game aged horribly. Characters are janky as fuck, areas are graphically unimpressive, and the game just lacks polish. Some of the areas in Odyssey look like ass, though. I do agree with that. The grass textures are some of the worst I've seen in the last two generations. I have no idea how they managed to have individual blades of grass in the Wii U version of Breath of the Wild, to move to these ugly ass textures in Mario Odyssey. It comes off as lazy.

>>13699034

Games don't age, if they were good when they came out they're still good today.

>>13699043

Then Sonic Adventure was never good.

>>13699014

What 3D world? Nah it was shit.

>>13699034

It was already janky when it came out, especially compared to other games from that era like Rayman 2 (which aged just fine)

>>13698969

Minimal graphical issues, nice.

>>13699057

I disagree, it was never my favorite or the best game, but it's still a good game.

>>13699097

Nah. And neither is mario 64

>>13697917

Open world is cancerous, Odyssey and BotW prove this

>empty map with fucking nothing to do outside a few points of interest

>hand crafted level designed to be experienced in a balanced and enjoyable way

Sandbox open world games is a step back for gaming, it's a regressive game design that would rather have people wander around a map devoid of life. Only Reddit, normalfags and games journalists like open world.

>>13699126

Is that why Nintendo can't reproduce how solid the movement was in 64 to this day?

>>13699136

That's just nitpicking, of course with their first attempt to 3D there'll be some weird moments here and there.

>>13699136

It seems like you criticism is more with dated graphics than artstyle.

I don't know about you guys, but I just want a Broadway production of Mario: The Musical.

>>13697122

I don't mind playing games in public. I also carry a gun with me everywhere I go. Let them try.

>>13699222

Some normalfag is more likely to try to feel better about himself by taking a picture of you playing vidya in public and calling you a loser playing vidya in public on whatever site he goes to than steal from you.

>>13697323

Well that's what I do with friends who have PS4, either pay full price or ½ and they loan me the console.

>>13699243

So? Can the faggot taking pictures DL 450 pounds?

>>13699243

All I'm saying is there's no shame in being yourself, but its probably good to make yourself into a bit of a monster so people don't fuck with you.

>>13699243

>taking a picture of you playing vidya in public and calling you a loser

Anon that's not how normal adults behave, have you ever been outside? That's some cartoony delusion you got there.

>>13699452

Oh come on, that would get some thot or dickhead at least 20+ retweets on twitter, and people live off of anonymous validation from the internet nowadays.

>>13699484

Where the fuck are you living?

>>13699487

Its not as bad as you'd think.

>>13699493

It's only the case if you're unattractive that some loser normalfag takes a photo of you minding your own damn business just playing a game so they can post it on twitter or reddit or wherever for instant validation they're not a complete loser themselves.

>>13699502

Odyssey gave Mario the HL2 Gordon treatment.

>>13696620

>I can't imagine how a kid must feel playing through Odyssey as their first Mario game

Who gives a shit? Fuck kids. At worst they don't know what the references are and don't care and go on with their lives. At best, the throwbacks make them play older Mario games to see what all that was about.

>>13699536

Exactly, I doubt anyone here is ugly.

>>13699122

>two head tall anthropomorphic animals

>six head tall humanoids

>Sonic Adventure's artsyle is fine.

Nevermind those horrendous mouth movements.

People bitched about it in Sonic '06, and it was a problem in Sonic Adventure as well. I had the same feelings about Mario Odyssey when New Donk City was full of somewhat realistically proportioned humans next to Daisy who had slightly exaggerated proportions, next to Mario who has seriously exaggerated proportions, next to a goomba.

>>13699502

Didn't like Paper Mario much I guess?

>>13699596

Paper Mario only has like one good game and that one is mostly nostalgia kids who grew up with a Cube talking.

>>13699592

Yeah it was strange enough when I watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I don't know why Mario and more historically Sonic are totally fine with this.

>>13697041

That's because a lot of early open world games were good. It's not their fault that the genre became shit.

>>13696606

>Is Super Mario Odyssey THE best Mario game ever made?

Nah. Might take the cake for one of the dullest though.

>>13699629

You just have to be not a fat fuck, and don't wear goddamn cringey vidya clothing or cosplay or whatever in public.

Flat-brimmed cap with your favorite superhero/sci-fi on it? Into the trash it goes.

T-shirts with ANY kind of nerd shit that isn't a very subtle design? Fuck you, burn it.

Trenchcoat/duster, and you're not an actual cowboy or some kind of military officer or a businessman with matching suit? Throw that shit in an industrial shredder.

Pants with a zipper anywhere but the crotch? No.

Balding on top of your head? Shave it completely, you're not a medieval friar.

Can't grow a beard without weird bald spots in it? Just shave it all off for fuck's sake.

>>13699637

Sonic gets away with being an animal. But this is Mario, who is human next to more realistic proportioned humans.

>>13699662

Normalfags don't have the ability to differentiate some fat loser with an anime tshirt and anyone just playing 3DS in public or watching anime in public, a lot of normalfags want to feel better about themselves so they just lump the two together, hence why anything that's not ultra mainstream is called "weebshit" by normalfags.

>>13699686

You have a persecution complex my dude.

>>13699701

It's not a persecution complex, normalfags have zero ability to think for themselves outside of memes and you know it.

>>13699686

>>13699703

I'm telling you, the "loser" part is literally just looking like a loser. If you're normal sized and don't dress like you're in 8th grade, nobody gives a shit what you do in public. If you're getting laughed at for playing a portable on the bus, it's because you're riding the bus and sitting in bum piss because you can't afford a car, not because of the portable.

>>13699723

>They look more or less like Mickey Mouse knockoffs with their oversized heads, hands and feet.

Because Sonic was literally created with Mickey and Felix the Cat in mind.

>>13699703

You spend too much time on this website. If you think normalfags even know what weebshit is or what that might conceptually mean, you are vastly overestimating them.

>>13699749

Yeah, and there were neve any significant Disney properties that combined realistic humans with Disney cartoon characters, imagine that. The only thing that comes remotely close is Kingdom Hearts but the humans in that game are still very stylized.

>sitting in the office

>overhear people talking about videogames

>"oh that's that one with the cap shit right? not interested"

Odyssey catered to normalfags and journalists, and they still aren't interested in the game. Please give me my challenging linear platforming adventure back and remove this shitty open level design.

>>13699792

Odyssey catered to kids dummy, and kids love it.

>>13699484

I prefer to live in your world because in mine every fucker is trying to get some nerd cred and it's especially cringey when it's girls doing it, it just flashes to my mind how poorly they've been brought up.

>>13697939

Not 64>sunshine>galaxy ?

Honestly don't get what's supposed to be so great about galaxy. You spend so much time in them doing nothing but watching those star cannon cutscenes.

>>13700180

Do you know if there is a limit with how many you can buy at the shop?

There is also a Ton of content after beating the game it's almost like they have half the game unlock after you beat it.

>>13700198

I don't know but you can only buy 1 per level until after you beat the game.

>>13700295

Because some fags need to justify to themselves not buying a Switch just to play it. Even though not wanting to buy a switch for 1 game is justification enough.

>still being interested in mario after puberty

>>13700295

But is it better than SM3DW? honest question, i thought that one was piss easy and was disappoint by that, don't comment on the easy modo on oddysey i know about it, its for children, i want to know about the regular mode

>>13697122

>not owning a car

Poorfags, everyone!

>>13700198

You can buy as many as you like, but they are 100 coins each. This was put into place so people can reach the super end game content more easily, but people who enjoy going back and collecting moons can do that as well. it's a pretty good system.

>>13700367

It's too late, hes already given up his job as a plumber.

>>13700323

Just wait for an emulator, its just android so it shouldnt take that long.

another nit pick I have with this game is that most of the level just end with clifts Like they made the level but did feel like making a convinceing reason why you can't walk out of it, so they just made everything a cliff.

>>13700640

Said map brings you into a dark forest map if you fall off said cliffs so that's not really the best example to use.

>>13700697

Oh I had no idea about that, okay so the cliffs aren't all bad.

>>13700608

Cliffs are far more immersive than invisible walls or distant environment and horizon line being sacrificed for mountains around every level.

>>13700608

I haven't played it yet, but I did play Yooka. The biggest problem with Yooka was the giant maps that felt empty. I went back and re-played SM64 after Yooka, and one of the first things I noticed was that SM64 levels are really, really small. But they are filled to the brim with stuff to do. You enter the stage to get one star, and on the way you see 3 other things that you really want to do instead.

When we are stuck with giant open worlds and developers making some retarded push to make things bigger just because they can, having a small, crammed world is awesome to see.

The size of the world doesn't reflect how much there is to do in the world. The difference between SM64 and Yooka Laylee is a perfect example of a small and lively world and a giant, dead world.

>>13700965

Those are not realistic humans like Odyssey's.

I sure hope so. The ending isn't even that big a deal.

After all the fighting Bowser and Mario both try and win over Peach by trying to give her flowers but then Peach is like "enough of this shit!" and walks off, Mario and Bowser both feel rejected for all of two seconds until Peach basicly says "lets go home" to Mario, I imagine Peach after getting kidnapped and almost forced into a wedding wasn't in the mood to be swept off her feet.

>>13699034

Sonic adventure had some impressive visuals when the Dreamcast was new, but as a game it was just okay.

I more for criticizing the fact that Peach as a character sees to randomly decide when she's capable of taking care of herself and when she needs saving.

In Mario 3D World you can play through the entire game as Peach and defeat Bowser as her. Yet here she needs saving yet again. But i guess that's just lazy writing at this point. "Mario need to save Peach because he's Mario and she's Peach."

>>13701646

cause its easy and pretty

>>13701559

That's all it will ever be, though. A meme dream. The best open world games have already been made.

>beat the story

>beat the boss rush

>beat the long journeys end

>90% of my time has become nothing more than go to the X on your map, look for a shiny thing or talk to someone

>moons hidden behind really shitty criteria that you'd never think of doing unless you were reading a guide

>this includes look through the binoculars at one of the objects in the sky for a few seconds and it'll drop a star, the game gave no indication that this would ever drop stars and never even hinted that the binoculars would be used to obtain stars at all

>random rocks that aren't even shiny contain moons, the game expects you to go around kicking absolutely every single rock you see

>one moon involves capturing a hidden coin purse, moving to a plant and shooting 500 coins into it. Because you'd naturally think to do that when you can buy moons from the store for 100 coins

>one moon just has you take control of a goomba and do a slow ass trek across the desert to a female goomba because fuck you

>every world is just repeating this shitty criteria over and over again

>no more unlockable platforming segments to look forward to, have to grind through a collectable worse than fucking korok seeds if I want 100%

>seeing 100% videos shows it's not even worth it anyway

The more I play this, the more justified of an 8/10 this game becomes. With all the repeated moons and bosses, perhaps even 7/10.

I'm wondering if journalists even played the game for longer than 5 hours.

>>13701991

Journalists never play longer then they have too. They beat games as fast as they can which isn't very fast, So they can shit out a piece on the game, and then go back to bitching

about inconsequential crap on Twitter.

>>13701991

>3 coins hidden on the very edge of the map for no reason, there's nothing special in that immediate area at all

>Have to hang off the edge of the map to collect them

This is not how you do good level design, everything in this is a chore.

>>13701676

Best to treat each Mario game as a standalone. Nothing makes sense under scrutiny, because they don't care. Their goal isn't consistant characters or a consistant universe. If I remember, Miyamoto once said something about the Mario Characters being a cast of actors, putting on different plays, sometimes taking different roles. And then they play Tennis together on their days off.

>>13702115

I guess that's a fair way to look at things.

Although as a kid I gravitated a little more to Sonic then Mario (still played both a ton) due to getting invested in the story that connected each game.

>>13697917

>dweebagoon

You have to go back.

>>13699043

They age graphically. That's why games that go for muh realism most often look like shit down the line, but games that go for a polished stylized aesthetic most often still appear visually appealing even when graphics have vastly imrpoved.

>Wasting your life driving in terrible traffic instead of doing anything else while riding public transit

Granted, the optimal solution is to get out of the fucking city, but that's not necessarily an option for everyone.

>>13700198

>>13700405

Bullshit. There are 883 unique moons, including 1 per each Kingdom's shop. You max at 999. Has anyone bought more than 116 extra moons? Because I bet you that's the cap.

>>13700152

>>13700135

There are 883 moons, not counting extras you can buy after the ending.

>>13699683

I don't know if 3D world really counts. I mean yeah, it's technically a 'main-series' Mario game according to fan wikis, but then so were all the New Super Mario Bros games.

If we're talking AAA Mario Games, then the last ones that came before Odyssey were the Galaxy games.

>>13699723

Yes, Sonic 06, that's what Odyssey's artstyle reminds me of!

Real disappointed with the size of the levels and how bland the level design is. Really wanted to like this game.

>>13702062

wouldnt it be more fun to play and enjoy the game? i dont understand

>>13702647

They don't enjoy games. They enjoy waxing retarded on social media. They enjoy virtue signalling and have likes and favorites roll in. They enjoy #RESISTing and towing the political line. They do not like games. Games are work to them. Games are a means to and end. They are for furthering their agenda. Games are for propaganda and money.

FUCK BEACH VOLLEYBALL AND FUCK TRACE WALKING

You better not be talking about the star in the ceiling of peach's castle.

>>13702304

3D world definitely doesn't count as a 3D mario game, because while it is 3D, the levels are designed in the same linear fashion as a 2D game.

>>13703378

>implying he criticized it for being different

>implying it isn't worse than sunshine

>>13703416

Galaxy's levels were mostly linear.

>>13703060

>Fuck trace walking

You're a nigger. That shit is easy.

>>13703416

>You better not be talking about the star in the ceiling of peach's castle.

No. You get moons to appear sometimes by simply staring at certain objects through the possessable binoculars. I'm pretty sure anon is just a faggot who happened to look at something that gave a star before finding the hint that tells him what to look at.

>>13703791

But they weren't designed like 2D levels, like 3D world's levels were

>>13697032

>>>/reddit/

>>13703060

Volleyball is utter horseshit. It’s pretty much only doable with 2P mode, which makes it a joke.

Just park Mario’s ass in a corner and use Cappy’s instant acceleration and higher speed to destroy the minigame.

Why is my shitty thread still up

>>13707947

>shill tries to validate himself on /v/

lol

>>13696606

From what I've seen it looks like a solid 6.5 to 7 out of 10 game. Has a lot of flaws that made me not interested in playing it, but it looked like it could've been a fun time regardless. Not enough for me to want to buy a Switch, though, especially with the amiibo shit and the actual build quality of the thing.

>>13707947

>Makes an Odyssey thread while previous threads aren't past the bump limit, let alone close to falling off the catalog

Game is okay, but you're a fucking shill.

Don't blow your cover next time Mr. Damage Control.

>>13708036

surely the other threads actually discussed the game though, right?

>>13696620

By that logic Dues ex is open world.

You haven't played this game have you? It's like 64 and sunshine.

>>13709204

i think your enjoyment of galaxy depends on how much you enjoyed the bonus stages in mario sunshine, of which i enjoyed immensely. to someone like me it was a masterpiece.

>>13709204

>You're just railroaded the whole way through.

You are exactly as railroaded in Super Mario Galaxy as you are in Super Mario 64. Super Mario Galaxy, however, looks a lot better and has much larger levels than SM64. Also Bowser and the other boss fights aren't nearly as boring.

>>13709998

I never liked the Bowser bosses in 64. The difficulty all depends on how well you can time your throw into the bombs. If you're skilled, it's over in a minute, if not it's repetitive trial and error.

>>13709204

turbo tiddy peach is best peach.

I really enjoyed Odyessey because it was something different. It didn't feel like a rehash. It felt like a true continuation of 64.

>>13710042

Neither is DK94

>>13710062

With worse controls and overall gameplay.

>>13710079

Please, 64 aged like milk and the only reason it still talked is becuase muh pannykek maymays.

>>13710094

Angry Henry detected. No really it's aged fine, the movement mechanics are still better than anything we've gotten since

>>13710096

Disagree. Galaxy refined it farther.

>>13710106

Galaxy's level design was to open and to full of other gimmicks for anything to happen with the controls. And they severely fucked with the new momentum which was one of the key elements in 64. It also added spinning which wasn't shit but they botched it by forcing it to shaking the numchuck. Galaxy refined a lot of things but it cut corners in the process. It's a solid title but nothing comes close to the controls in 64. Where you could pull of some great combos to get to areas that didn't seem possible before.

>>13710094

>64 aged like milk

Not really

>>13701533

>>13701540

I thankfully don't and I still want to chainsaw the insufferable, edgy pretentious retard.

>>13710094

objectively wrong. In fact I only recently played 64 seriously and its hands down the best 3D Mario. The aesthetics are the only part that aged poorly but the controls are top notch.

>>13710106

Galaxy was nothing but a shallow fun gimmick game. It didn't "refine" jack shit.

>>13701571

This.

>>13701593

No mercy on the retards.

>>13701531

I just read the article, it's parody.

>>13710217

He literally is a Popeye ripoff, DK was originally going to be a Popeye game. Funnily enough, Sonic is Mickey Mouse/Felix the Cat.

>>13710171

Thats cute

>>13710217

"Peach could beat Bowser in that game, why is she getting kidnapped in this one?" is not overanalyzing anon. I was just poking fun at continuity.

I don't actually give a shit.

>>13701425

I've seen plenty of things that are worse than this, but this still managed to disgust me a lot deeper than most things have. Good job.

>>13710229

Nowadays, Miyamoto wants Mario to be like Mickey Mouse and Sonic's attitude has been toned down.

>>13710280

Mickey never had an actual personality nor did Mario. It's why Wario and Donald exist.

>>13709204

>railroaded

You say that like it's a bad thing.

I don't really get this mentality about 3D Mario.

Like, wasn't 64 only "open ended" in its structure, because they had to think of ways to save cartridge space, so they reused the same maps for a lot of shit, just having different things change?

If I'm wrong on that, and the intent was always to make something like Odyssey? I still don't really think completely open 3D Mario is the best way to do it. Or rather, this whole "quantity over quality" mentality to the moons.

The most fun I've had in the game is hands down any time there's any sort of platforming challenge. Because Mario's controls in Odyssey are just that fucking good and fun. Probably the best controls Mario has had in 3D, though sunshine's physics might be preferable albeit his Odyssey moveset is better.

And the biggest problem is there's just not enough shit to use this sublime movement on. You want fun and interesting challenges? Fuck you, go climb up this really basic geometry to find a moon. Go pound this glowing spot. Go and look in some random knook.

I don't want that shit, because that shit is FUCKING BORING.

And every single time this happens the most memorable parts of the open leveled 3D Marios are when you're just fucking platforming.

Mario's not a fucking collectathon, it's about going from point A to point B, 64 stood in stark contrast to the series established mechanics, at that point, and it shows.

As much as people give 3D Land/World shit, and to a lesser extent Galaxy, they really are the most "Mario" 3D Mario games there are, though maybe Galaxy has them beat, simply because they don't shy away from the linearity of Mario.

>>13710400

Dammit I recognize that artist.

>>13704095

The main difference was the static camera and the less cinematic presentation. Put those things aside, and 3D World's level design feels very Galaxyesque.

>>13710347

I'm with you there. I do enjoy collectathon platformers, and I welcome Odyessy just because it's good to keep things varied and never settle too hard into one formula, but for me THE Mario games are SMB3 and SMW, and I love Galaxy and 3D World because they bring the feel of those games into 3D, whereas 64/Sunshine/Odyessy feels more like a spinoff series.

>>13710417

I do not. Can you give source? (also, are they both traps?)

>>13710475

You are implicitly ranking 3D World above SM64 and that disturbs me.

>>13710497

3D World might be my favourite 3D Mario game.

>>13710511

<he thinks that is deep lore

<not when new donk city has a infinite supply of power moons that powers the cit

>>13700501

They're less assumptions and more observations from the look of it. It's okay to be a manchild nintenbabby-kun, just be okay with being called out for it.

>>13710501

3D World is trash. It's just New Super Mario 3D Land 2. Terrible rehashed garbage.

>>13710744

And yet it's great when they rehash a game you like.

Mario is the cod of marios

>>13710832

Quite a feat when there's nothing happening.

>>13710744

>>13710756

I liked 3D land because it was fun to play in short bursts on the 3DS, had some decent levels and the best bowser fights of the series.

3D world took all the worst aspects of it, shit controls, no moveset, bland artstyle, no presentation and made everything else worse. Bowser fights were terrible and repetitive, the level design was just sticking a few large boxes together so 4 people could run around and climb up walls in cat outfits.

>>13710816

>not even "COD of platformers"

apply yourself

>>13710280

Mario has been the video game equivalent of Mickey Mouse since the NES days. It was only during the early arcade years that he could be compared to Popeye. Sonic is like a mix of Felix and a Looney Tunes character.

>>13712075

It makes little difference whether he's analgous to Popeye or old Mickey. Back then, they were both "actor characters" taking on different roles in whatever they starred in.

>>13711991

Does that make her a shortstack now, or just short?

>>13711991

mario is a shortlet

>>13710441

Not really. Galaxy's levels are literally spheres, while 3D's levels are just "go right"

>>13710400

Why is saucenoa so shit at actually finding the source of hentai?

>>13708982

>999 moons

>like 64 and sunshine

The levels are at least triple the size of 64s, and while that isn't open world, that's pretty damn big

>>13710094

(You)

I hate it. Not trying to be contrarian or whatever buzzword you want to throw at me, but fuck sake after decades since the last 3d platformers, I would have thought this game would have made a giant leap, a tremendous stride a new mario game to set the bar for platformers but fucking hell these levels are tiny as hell and are poorly designed, they're no fun. I wasn't expecting gargantuan maps and they would have done it wrong had they gone that route, but something a bit bigger and more vertical and better designed. I knew right away when I got to new donk the rest of the game would be shit, I was so hyped for new donk city. Really disappointed. This was the only new game I got hyped for, I will never buy into hype.

Truthfully, the switch has been pretty shit so far. Zelda's boring empty open world, arms, Mario Kart port, hell I didn't enjoy Splatoon 2 as much as the original. I dunno.

>>13715271

>levels are tiny as hell

This is the only thing I disagree with. 64's levels were way smaller and were still fun. Size barely matters.

>>13715386

Thinking back on it, you're right. The levels are just poorly designed and are really boring because a few months ago I replayed Galaxy, Sunshine and 64 and they're all really good. Odysseys level design is stale and boring, anon >>13697109 makes really good points, I agree with everything he says.

>with an engaging, really fluid movement system that fails to utilise it the majority of the game

I have to create my own challenges bypassing obstacles that are supposed to be used with the captures by chaining hat jumps.

>>13699484

You must be under 18 if you actually believe this bullshit.

Nigtendo.
