Super Mario Odyssey
 

Preordered it :clap1:

Out Friday ladies!! (Why was there no thread x)

Was gonna make one so well done for beating me to it

So excited for this

I'm preordering it too <3 Can't wait eventhough i've spoilt most of the game for myself because of the leaks

This is the game I've been most looking forward to this year (apart from the Crash remakes) so I'm really hyped!

30+ 10/10 scores :amazed:

I can't decide if I want it. It's getting great reviews but I dunno if I'll like it :think:

Got to be honest, and I'm sure it's good and everything but... I'm pretty much convinced that Nintendo is buying reviews (not just for this, but in general).

Well that’s just ridiculous

Anyway, :clap1: at the reviews

how can they be buying reviews though when there’s like 60 outstanding reviews surely they can’t be paying for all of them?

They have no need to pay for them, Mario has always (rightfully) received acclaim!

The sign that they're paying for reviews is if there are large differences between review score- there is zero chance that Breath of the Wild or Odyssey paid for reviews

I'm going to pick it up tomorrow morning so hopefully Walmart has them in stock!

Also just bought Mario and Rabbids on a whim because it was 40% off here in Canada (for a two-month old game) :O

My mum keeps mentioning "we got a parcel coming tomorrow :) ". If that parcel doesn't contain Super Mario Odyssey I'm gonna be an orphan. Not gonna kill my mum I'm just gonna do that thing where i make her my not legal guardian. so i can be put up for adoption? whats that called?

:joker::joker::joker:

I'm not saying Nintendo games aren't often GREAT games... it's just that the number that are 100% or 10/10 seems disproportionate to other games that are just as great? I mean... really? 10/10, literally zero flaws? Breath Of The Wild getting an array of 10/10 scores when it had notable framerate problems that must have been present for launch reviewers? :think: That doesn't make sense either.

See I'm not saying these aren't 9/10 amazing games... just wondering if there might be some kickbacks going on to nudge some of those 9's to a 10 :joker:

I suppose it's more likely that it's just plain ol' nostaligia making reviewers ignore small flaws, though. I do wish reviewers were more impartial than that, though. A 10/10 should be something exceptionally rare, surely... reserved for games that are well made, well written, AND with zero (or damn close to zero) technical issues. A masterpiece of story and gameplay that suffers stuttering or framerate drops is a 9/10...

No game is perfect, I often take 10/10's to mean 'Yeah it has some issues but the game itself overcomes them completely'.

BOTW has framerate issues but that doesn't make it any less of a 10/10 game.

Must save money to get a switch.

Still waiting for mine to be delivered, mum isn't home so I have no clue if its even there

Yeah I'd agree with this. I think game reviews should just be based on how enjoyable a game is. If a game has issues but it's still 10/10 in terms of enjoyment then so be it. The frame rate drops in BotW are pretty rare as well, certainly not enough to account for a 10% drop in the game's score.

breath of the wild isn’t a 10/10 anyway :worry:

a 9/10 yes but NOT 10/10 like i just can’t imagine scoring ha 10/10

Shut your ***** mouth.

DARE you say it’s better than persona 5?

THEY ARE BOTH 10/10s!

do NOT try that you dirty cheating ***** you can’t keep them both sweet as much as you would like to

be a woman and pick a side

They are both great and greatness can coexist. you segregationist slut.

SO it wasn't in the parcel BUT my mum bought it at the shops to surprise me :love: we had a mini argument because she wouldnt let me give her the money she spent and she insists its a month old Birthday gift :laugh: :love:

What I like about the game is that it feels so rewarding. Mainly because of how many moons you can get. I feel so obliged to just take my time and explore the world and when I do I always find something interesting, just gives me an icentive to keep playing :love:

I really do thing this could be my favourite Mario game ever (sorry TTYD and 64 </3). I loved 3D World's format but I forgot how I preferred the "open world" feel of some Mario games (despite the fact most of the game is pretty linear in terms of how story progresses, but that's Mario for ya)

ALSO "Jump up, Super star!" is STILL in my head 4 months later gah

When Skyward Sword got a 10/10, Breath of the Wild is most certainly a 10
(Despite the fact I hammered the **** out of BotW, I didn't like something about it... and I can't place my finger on it, which is odd since I think it's my favourite Zelda. That said I've only finished about 6 Zelda games overall)

Been playing this all night and it’s fantastic

Really challenging, mind

has anyone managed to get every moon in any of the kingdoms? :suspect: i need 5 in the dinosaur one but toad has stopped selling me hints and that parrot thing won’t tell me either kmt

Nah lol, I need even more than 5 in that one but some you have to go back to later on

It’s really annoying me though, those large unbreakable silver boxes in each kingdom and I don’t have a clue what you’re supposed to do with them

the lake kingdom is so ****ing gorgeous THE MUSIC ugh i wanna cry

does anyone else think this game feels slightly more ‘mature’ than the others aesthetic wise? like wood kingdom icr what the correct name is but it lowkey looks like far cry or something lmao (in certain parts anyway)

I’ve still got a load of moons to collect but I’m at the credits already lol

Yeah, I thought this especially regarding the ruined kingdom

The ruined kingdom was so cool, I wish they would have have made it a full kingdom :bawling:

If anyone has advice for finishing the 100-jump rope challenge I am in desperate need ... :shrug:

Honestly I LIVE for it. Mario's so used to really cartoony and colourful graphics and it's such a relief to see that they got a nice balance of that. The levels don't look gritty, and they're such a departure from the usual levels of Mario while remaining familiar

I just finished the game. The ending song is :love: (as is the ending... and the game of course. Super Mario Odyssey is the prime example of post-game content done right!)

I just gotta collect another 600 or so Moons :)
