Odd Mutant posted:I played a bunch of Victor VRam on the computer. The ways in which it differentiates itself from other Diablo clones are pretty weird and the character design for Victor and his costumes are all dumb (one of his outfits has a tophat made of steel with a giant "V" on it) but it's still a really fun game that controlled great with the controller. Well you and I have different definitions of dumb. e; gonna check the game out thanks

I was wondering how long it would take a Diablolike to get onto the Switch, that's always seemed like a genre that'd be great portable. Victor Vran is legit pretty fun as they go too.

Finally getting around to Mario Rabbids and this game is great. I was really skeptical of comments I’ve heard about it improving on stuff from XCOM but I’m a believer now. The focus on aggressive play is great. I still don’t think I’d call it better than XCOM or anything but it certainly is enough of its own thing that I’m glad that both of them exist. The only things I don’t like is that I find the overworld pretty confusing at times, and even after like 4 hours my brain cannot process that I am controlling this roomba and not Mario, which makes the controls feel lovely even though they aren’t.

That took me the longest god drat time to get used to. I overshot so many pipes and other interactables because I forgot I wasn't actually controlling Mario himself.

Yeah it's a cool sidegrade of xcom with less RNG and the focus being on each map being kind of a puzzle. The movement option you get in it are also really great.

deep dish peat moss posted:You also unlock a Boss Rush mode where you pick your starting power and three allies and are stuck with that team, then you take on boss waves. You do play as Kirby in this one. Both modes can of course be played co-op. You can actually play as the helpers in Boss Rush mode as well. If you press X when selecting a power at the start you can switch between Kirby and the power's respective helper.

Fitzy Fitz posted:I can think of two problems with luncheon kingdom. It doesn't feel like a living place like most of them do. It's more like a series of obstacles and puzzles that happens to have a town in the middle. This is actually exactly why the Luncheon kingdom was one of my favorites. I play Mario games for the platforming. I don't care if it "feels like a living place," I just want to jump around on blocks and climb things. The levels with more "natural" feeling spaces were my least favorite, like the Flower plant kingdom, and the Jurassic kingdom. Too much extraneous stuff and big, blank areas getting in the way of my platforming. It's overall why I think I like Mario 64 more than Odyssey; 64 has more pure platforming, which is what I'm there for. (Standard Internet disclaimers: I loved Odyssey, it is is great and everyone should get it; I'm disagreeing with you, not attacking you; it's OK for people to like different things.)

Since we’re all being honest here I’ll say I didn’t like odyssey too much. I like it and it’s a good game, but I doubt I’ll go back to it very much, whereas most mario games have a lot of replay value for me. I feel like the hat mechanic and other movement stuff obfuscated the core gameplay too much. Like I see the insane balloons in Luigi’s balloon world videos and it doesn’t even look fun to me. I’m just weird.

Infinitum posted:I was going to say that Victor Vran was a cool game, but I'm thinking of Van Helsing on Steam. Same genre, but more arcadey and with a really goofy sense of humour and a love of going over the top to play on how much everything looks like a cheesy metal album cover. If you like that genre it's probably worth a spin, and if the Switch release is too much I've seen it for less than $5 during Steam sales.

My main issue with Mario odyssey was that most of the moons were either simple or samey to get, making it overall less memorable than the other 3D Mario games for me. Like sure it rocks that there’s so many of them, but I dunno.

I also picked up Victor Vran for super cheap but was very impressed with it. Fun action RPG with guns and even some jumping up on ledges and stuff, which for whatever reason I enjoyed about it, at the time.

Now if only VC would come out so I can buy Mario64 for the 5th time and reminisce my youth once more.

I want to wrap up Skyrim. I've explored pretty much most of the map and I'm pushing level 50, plus I've more or less maxed the trees I was aiming for (a punchy arrow user). Perhaps to the games credit I've hardly done any actual quest-lines (plenty of quests though), I don't think I've finished a single one. What is the general recommendation: Companion's, Dark Brotherhood, Thieves and Mages guild, plus the DLC story quests and the main storyline? I know that's gonna add I don't know how many more hours, but I figure if I streamline those I'd be satisfied with my efforts in the game.

Odyssey mostly just reminded me how much more I enjoy Mario in 2D. It was an easy eBay sell after a couple hundred moons and I haven't really thought about it since. Didn't make it bad by any stretch.

I think with me it's just because I haven't really played any Nintendo 1st party games since the Gamecube days, and so picking one up now feels so refreshing to play. The games are actually finished for a start, there are practically no bugs, no microtransactions or loot crates, controls feel responsive, intuitive, everything has an immaculate level of polish. You rarely see that these days and so playing Mario and Zelda feels, to me, like a step up from most of the PC games I've played over the last half-decade or so, and this is causing my opinion of the games to be a little hyperbolic but that's how they feel to me right now.

I wouldn't bother with it either unless you really want to play more. Personally I'm a fan of the Dark Brotherhood and the Thieves Guild, but it was the Mage's Guild that gave me my "win condition" I was happy with and I put down the game after that. At the end of the Mage's Guild you become the head of the guild and the Academy. I realized I had basically become Dumbledore and how can you possibly top being Dumbledore?! So I stopped there.

Companions is fine just a bit wrote, but it's got neat characters and a cohesive competent storyline. Skyrim Thieves Guild is some of the worst writing Bethesda has ever done. The whole thing is just painfully stupid and railroady.The Dark Brotherhood is solid as always. The main storyline and mages are inoffensive. Mostly. The DLC quests are all the best bits of the game though. Dragonborn especially kinda rules.

Thieves Guild gives you a lot of useful stuff though, like having those fences around is pretty nice if you're like me and become an uncontrollable kleptomaniac who breaks into houses left and right when you play video games. I'd say out of all of them, Thieves Guild wound up being the most handy. The gear is nice too. Its story does in fact blow huge chunks, however. I did not care about any of its characters. Some of the quests are fun, like the meadery one.
