Not a dealbreaker, but the game not being 60fps is slightly a let down since it's a Nintendo game.

Music is dope tho. I've never played XCOM so this is an interesting new game experience for me!

Also I ran into this weird bug instantly, it only happened in this specific area :v:

Is there some way to like... heal between battles? If you die do you have to start the whole world over again? How does this work. Mario is on 80 HP right now and I haven't fully got my head around this type of game yet so I'm gonna be making mistakes early on I think. I think I saw an "easy mode" option at some point when I started but I don't wanna do that

You get all your health back when you complete a 'level', which typically contains 2 battles, but some contain 3 (or just 1).
I think there are also mushrooms that restore health hidden in some places?

Cool thanks! I haven't found one of those mushrooms yet sadly but I redid the battle after losing and it went better and got health back so :toot:

Also I was idling for a minute doing something else and noticed the big tuba/horn looking flowers that were moving in the scenery were also animating to the horn sections of the music. LOVE those kinds of little details.

You get 1 move (including as many jumps and slides as you can fit into your area), 1 buff, and 1 attack per character per turn. You can do a lot of damage if you plan it right.

It's pretty satisfying when you change together multiple of those "the enemy moves behind cover and you get a free shot during their turn" attacks. One of my favorites was when an enemy turned a corner and Mario automatically shot him and then the camera zoomed way back to Luigi who sniped him so hard it knocked him back out of bounds.

:psyduck: I don't know HOW I managed to get this within 13 turns. It felt like I was taking my sweet rear end time getting through this one because the big guys infinitely respawn.



:toot:

I'll say, this battle especially really hammered home how important the dash attack is. Granted it certainly helped that I got lucky with a few shots and knocked some of the big guys off the screen and also inked the last one I fought right as it got next to both Mario and Luigi.

I also got a loving sick shot with Mario where he combo'd with himself where he crit an enemy, the enemy went flying and the flying trigged Mario's special move and he shot him AGAIN while in the air and the dude went flying out of bounds. It was fuckin awesome. This game needs a highlight system

I am genuinely shocked at how much I'm enjoying the game. The actual xcom didn't interest me in the slightest, and it frankly still doesn't even after playing this, but I'm glad I took the risk on buying this game cause it's really really fun.

I can't ever make burn cooperate properly and I just don't find honey all that satisfying to use. Ink is good when it comes through in a clutch.

I loving love the poo poo out of bounce and will equip that poo poo as much as I can. Sending the enemy flying out of bounds or even throwing the big guys way the gently caress back ruining all their already slow progress is just so so satisfying.

Also the fact that several of us can do several different tactics and each of them seem to work for us is a huge plus to this game. It's probably really tough to make a game where you have all these choices to use in fights but in the end there's only one thing that everyone ends up using (Bioshock tends to suffer from this, WoW and Heroes of the Storm SUPER suffers from this) so it's cool when there's a game like this where you actually have have totally different tactics from another player and not feel like you're intentionally gimping yourself

DalaranJ posted:

The enemies in the level are two smashers and three supporters, so the cover is only useful when it prevents smashers from getting to you. Use rabbid Mario. Try to destroy as much cover as possible so the supporters bunch up around what remains, and use the boom dash + boomshot to take out all the supporters or all the smashers in a single turn.

I haven't even tried Rabbid Mario. I have no gold for a good weapon for him. Can I warp back to the castle and go farm coins somewhere and come back to before that battle?

Yeah really early reactions were negative but after gameplay got shown at e3 people started getting hyped for it.

Yeah in typical Nintendo fashion they came out swinging by showing gameplay, and a ton of it, and basically destroyed any bad vibes people had for the game. I think people were understandably put off by the leaks. A Mario game, not handled by Nintendo themselves, by Ubisoft no less, starring the RABBIDS. Like nothing about that sounds good on paper. Plus I don't think anyone was expecting the game to be "XCOM but Mario". It's such a different type of game than what Nintendo has ever done before.

It also feels like on Ubisoft's side, they tried to make the Rabbids a bit more charming and it ends up working pretty well. Both Rabbid Luigi and Rabbid Peach have actual personalities and the Rabbid that is causing all the chaos is adorable. It also helps that they made the lovely rhoomba thing so much of an rear end in a top hat to make the Rabbids so much better in comparison

did you forget to give them cleansing jump?

No! I went with the tactic he1ixx posted! It just wasn't working out for me. In the end I had to basically sacrifice one of my guys (Luigi in this case) to use up the enemy's special attack so that Mario and rLuigi could finish the job.


Zore posted:

Have you tried using Peach over Luigi? Her Shotgun and healing is insanely useful on that level since it makes the status clearing a lot better.

I think I did it in 4 turns with her and RLuigi

I tried using Peach but I couldn't seem to make it work since her jump heal put her in the line of fire too much.

Theta Zero posted:

Is this the challenge 3-1 or just the level 3-1? Because I barely remember it being any difficult. What is it? Is it just when they first introduce enemies teleporting around?

It was the big map with the statue in the middle, and all the guys could ink you and all of them had a special sight move. I just couldn't ever work out the positioning. I also had gotten so used to the more close quarter fighting with Rabbid Luigi and Mario with Luigi providing ranged support, this one didn't really allow for that too much.

I'm totally planning on coming back and redoing it at some point though. The game is fun enough that I'm totally down with replaying ones and trying to perfect everything. I should also probably go back and do some challenges and get me some gold and uh... orb things.

Rabbid Mario seems so interesting but I haven't used him enough yet. I absolutely love how ridiculous Peach's gun is

its not the cutscene before that was annoying, it was watching dk grab my character, rubbing the character on his butt, and slamming it on the ground every time that was annoying me, because you can't fast forward that animation for some loving reason.

:psyduck: What? I didn't even know that was a thing he even did. The only attack of his that ever hit me was his wave blast thing before I figured out how to properly avoid it. Is that what happens when you use your character to step on the pad? I always just used Luigi's RC car to activate the button

edit: :lol: Just had an amazing interaction I didn't even know was possible. I'm doing one of the world 1 challenges, and I used rabbid Mario to attack several of the smasher guys at once. This prompted both to come at me AT THE SAME TIME (which I didn't know was possible) and both of them were on either side of me. They both smashed down at the same time, and bounced not just me, but each other, one of them knocking the other out of bounds and killing him.

There are some times I wish that this game had a replay system cause that was amazing

My guess is the one right before the big cannon that you need the ability from I think World 4 to use?

Which "big cannon" is this? The only cannon that isn't the same size as all the others is the big one that sends you to world 1 in Peach's Castle. I feel like I combed every area and didn't find any area that I couldn't access without an ability I don't have (I don't have whatever the world 4 ability is)

That's the one. There's a chest that requires the push ability that's a bit towards the camera and right of the cannon that's easy to miss.

Just collected it and that was indeed the one chest I'm missing. It's reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally stupid that chest counts toward the world 1 chest since it's in the hub world.

That world 3 boss was A++++++

But man. I lost a perfect on it at the VERY last minute, a pretty wounded rabbid luigi moved, triggering the big dude's overwatch (I had no idea he even activated an overwatch ability), which STONED him leaving him in a really vulnerable spot and I had no way of getting in between them or any ability to do... anything to save him. He one shot rabbid luigi the very next turn and cost me my perfect. :(

You can do individual chapters, and you also aren't restricted to the characters you had during that world. I went back and perfected the world 2 boss with Luigi for example (he super trivializes it). Did a bunch of world 1 with Rabbid Mario

FUUUUCKing god Rabbid Mario is the MVP of this game

Rabbid Mario, Mario and Luigi is a loving broken combo sometimes. I just did 4-2, and I vamp-critted four rabbids at once with Rabbid Mario after jumping into the middle of them and magnetizing them all to me. Cleaned them up with the others, and then the rest of the rabbids that were spawned were all killed by bouncing crit overwatch attacks from Mario and Luigi. I literally did the italian MWAH whatever hand gesture in real life it was such a beating.
