 Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a 3rd party Mario game designed by Ubisoft combining the classic Mario Characters and their Rayman murdering Rabbids. Yes, I am obvious. It’s basically an x-com game, simplified, and made cute. It’s for kids after all, and it’s actually cute and somewhat. I unironically love it. I’ll be joined by my funnier smarter wife Mistywave, as we tackle this game. I’ll be controlling the single player, and yes, we’ll do all the co-op games too together. Now, I know this is a kids game, so what’s better than making it into a drinking game? That’s right, I’m ripping off Danaru, and gonna be drinking. My wife will be drinking too, but on her own schedule not my drinking conditions. Drinking Conditions: Everytime I miss a 50% shot Everytime I get hit by a 50% shot One sip per level rating. Perfect: 1 Good: 2 Fine: 3 If any of my characters get knocked out, I finish the drink If I get a golden shot, sip. TPK: Special Surprise Defeating a boss or midboss: Chug! Of course, feel free to suggest more conditions for me! Now, enough of me babbling, here’s the link to the videos Updates Episode #1 Wherein we lay out the drinking conditions Episode 2: I say splooge way too much Episode 2.5: Mushroom Kingdom's drunkest tour guides Episode 3: Where the crit rate is kinda borked Episode 4: The first boss battle Episode 5: Where we get the best hero Episode 6: Wherein I get drunk and mistakes were made bunnyofdoom fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Apr 17, 2021 |

In the background a pectoid grumbles as it adds another pair of plates to its bench. This game was surprisingly good and I was really surprised by the reception it got. I'm kind of sad it preformed so badly because we won't get another when it's one of the few mario games that gets discounted by Nintendo with any regularity. And boy does it get big discounts all the time. I can't say I've ever experienced it the way bunny sees it though. 2 tutorial fights in and this is already going special places.

This game is pretty cute, but to be honest, I don't know if I want more of it beyond the one game. Partly because Ubisoft spent years covering up workplace sexual harrassment and can burn in hell, partly because it feels like the premise of Mario+Rabbids has kinda been fully explored. Like, if we were to see another Nintendo-Rabbids crossover, I'd actually like to see them show up in Pikmin. They're both teeming hordes of goofy mascot characters, but one group is helpful and constructive, and the other is chaos incarnate. Seems like there's some fun to be had there. Also, my suggested drinking condition is to pick up some vodka, Galliano, and orange juice for later in the game. It'll be pretty obvious when it's time to use it.

I am on board for these dada hijinks, including the drinking game. I usually go with stronger stuff but if a drinking game exists I may have to downgrade to cider. Also bunnyofdoom is not alone in thinking of the broader implications of the SupaMerge. To that end I have an Awkward Zombie for the class:

That title screen just gives me such weird fanart vibes. I can't believe someone at Nintendo signed off on "give Mario a loving gun". But even that reaction pales in comparison to: Holy gently caress those rabbit creatures are so goddamn ugly. It's utterly repulsive. ...The lp looks like it could be fun , though.

So were Rabbids basically Minions before Minions even existed?

It's better in French. There, the name for the Rabbids is, Les Lapins Crétins. It suits them.

This is partially the game that had me finally buy a switch. Portable chill XCOM just sounded like a lot of fun and it was.

Ok, so when I did the thread title I was thinking XCOM 2 Pectoids alright. Misty agrees with you that XCOM1 and Verge are cute (Although Cherub is cuter) Next video will be up tomorrow morning, we have two more episodes recorded, and in the mail today came a bottle of Jeppson's Malort, courtesy of my friend in Chigaco, so prepare for me to hurt myself badly.

bunnyofdoom posted:Drinking Conditions: Are we going to witness fatal alcohol poisoning live? Because  Finish your drink at the start of world 3 boss. Luigi is a stone cold killer who deserves all the respect, Peach is clearly enjoying the rare game where she doesn't get kidnapped, rabbid Mario is actually not annoying, the other three rabbids should be launched into the sun and I understand perfectly that's

The Mario mobility elements mean you can do some absolute bullshit with the character that specialize in it. It's loving satisfying stomping an rear end in a top hat into the ground with Mario and then murdering a clumped group on the rebound, as it should always be when controlling Mario; and all characters have something like that.

Update #3! It's Easter Long weekend, so let's celebrate our lord and savior Shigeru Miyamoto, let's have some rabbits run around and shoot other rabbits with his greatest creation. There's two videos today! One is kinda just a bonus video really of us exploring the hub world, but the other has sweet delicious content. Enjoy! Episode 2.5: Mushroom Kingdom's drunkest tour guides Episode 3: Where the crit rate is kinda borked (I actually do think that the DLC guns are fudged to proc more often now)

The ASCII translates to "DORK" in text. This is ostensibly a children's game so they couldn't say anything actually profane, just schoolyard profane.

I wish the game had taken the X-COM vibes even further. Rabbid autopsies. A shadowy figure on a monitor giving Mario orders who is blatantly Peach in silhouette. That loadout screen from the 90s original with the line of shadowy men in black holding out a suitcase of deniable banknotes, only they're all Toads and the case is full of coins...

Update 4! Hoppy Easter Y'all! Come on, you knew I was gonna post multiple videos over Easter Weekend. Moving forwards, it'll be one per week on Saturday the vids released. On that note, we're ahead on recordings, so if you have any suggestions/thoughts, telling me what party members to use, it won't take effect until Sherbert Desert. Anyways, enjoy Update 4: The first boss battle

If you have more audio hiccups, at least layer some background music over it instead of dead silence. Other than that, having fun. Looking forward to your wife dunking on you.

In the beginning of the vid you changed the DLC weapons out because they crit more than 30% - yes they do, against certain enemies. You see that 'Against Ziggies +30%', or 'against Hoppers +30%'? That's added crit chance against those particular critters. So you had a 60% chance to proc crits against Ziggies with the DLC stuff.

Update #5 gently caress you, Luigi is the best I love using Luigi in this game cause he's the only sniper we get. Which is a shame. Like, you'd expect one of the Rabbids to be a sniper, but nope. Seraphic Neoman posted:drat so does the boss always crit? Cause that's kinda rude as poo poo. Yuuuuuuup. It is rude as poo poo, especially with some later status effects that are bullshit.

That bad luck fire proc gave me flashbacks towards a specific level later in the game. It's kind of weird how they toned down the random in most places, but in some they shot it through the roof. You have the heavily simplified cover and tons of fixed damage and the variable stuff has a narrow range relative to the numbers on one hand, but on the other you have unreliable random effect procs and fire in particular can randomly hit your own guys harder than the enemy you proc it on.

Yeah. If I had to say anything was most xcom bullshit it would be the fire status. Anyways, 2 things I wanted to add onto the video This is the big apple I mentioned. The wiki page is a little outta date cause they do have a cider brewery on site which is real good. Once this hell pandemic is over, if you are doing a roadtrip down rhe 401 I recommend stopping by. 2. I am happy to report I did go get a burrito. It was great
