A lot of stuff seems to unlock in each world after you beat the boss so it's worth staying for a while and exploring instead of just moving straight to the next one

They're are a few moon types I don't like in Mario. The art types in particular feel really vague and annoyingly exact. Like I'm never sure if I'm completely wrong about where they are or just a few inches off.

It's still mostly very good though

Edit: Will I get to a spooky area in Super Mario Odyssey early on? It feels strange to play it on Halloween otherwise
I don't even think the game has one freakin boo in it. if I could tell charles martinet, creator and sole programmer of mario, one thing, it would be add more boos

I think it's a testament to my bad taste how much I am enjoying Arkham Knight. The Batmobile, The city, the Joker, the Sidequests, I'm having a blast. I won't 100% the Riddler stuff - which I never cared in any Arkham game - so I'm youtubing the true ending when I finish this, but everything else has been great.

The little sidequests are probably my favorite bit, I love how you fly or drive around finding more of them scattered around and help bring the city back to it's feet.

Arkham Knight is a good game, I honestly think even after cruising through Return to Arkham it’s my favorite one.

Sure, the plot’s kinda dumb, but so were the other two, it’s a fuckin’ Batman game.

Knight > Asylum > City, though only just barely for each one.

Also the season pass stuff for Knight is actually pretty decent, and in one case even causes a new world state once you finish it. Freeze... :smith:

HOLY poo poo I just realized those Big Boos were playing peek-a-boo. I always read the image as them having an eyes-closed sad sleepy face, not that they were holding their ghost hands over their eyes

I haven't gone to dark side yet but I was hoping the ghost stuff with be there. would honestly be disappointing if there was no ghost house stuff in the whole game.

Oh I forgot that the entire premise of Odyssey is body horror-style possession and transmogrification, it's perfect for Halloween. Also the first area is suitably moody. I have just been running around turning on lampposts and triple jumping and I already feel like this game is going to be magnificent

I did the first actual possession in the game, cutscene and all, while toasted. It was creepy as hell :ohdear:

there's a surface level of moons that are super easy to get and if you're just doing those and moving onto the next world tbh I could see how you might think its shallow, but then there's another layer of moons under that that you can get right now that take a lot more effort to get, and that's before you even get to the post game

thought this was about harvest moon and it sounded a lot deeper than i thought

I didn't really dig the music of odyssey. But then again galaxys amazing music was tough to follow so I guess they wanted to try something different. At least the remixes are great

Honestly this is the only song in Odyssey that I really liked; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tekAf_EJ5to

Most of the soundtrack isn't bad though. It just didn't stand out to me.

There are apparently a few that need it and there are some that are much harder without it

Regy Rusty
Apr 26, 2010

That's a solid maybe. At the very least there are moons that it would be easier to use the motion controls for but it's hard to say offhand that there's not a single one that outright requires them.

But like if you don't like them just don't use them until you really need them?? All the controllers have them built in so if you hit something that you can't do easily with the buttons just use the motion controls briefly and move on.

homeless snail
Mar 14, 2007

most of the time the motion controls just allow you to do things a little more stylishly or smoothly than you could otherwise but don't actually allow you to get anywhere you couldn't otherwise. there are definitely a couple edge cases though, like people are saying

I'm playing Majora's Mask for the first time and it is super fun. Getting lost all over the place while I figure out everyone's schedules and what to do each day. I'd say I'm sad I didn't play it as a kid, but I'm having a great time as a boring adult, too.
