Thanks for your input.

Levels go over 1-8 now?

You have seen nothing yet.

It gets better. Make sure to upgrade all your movement options, you'll eventually be able to chain moves and make it halfway across the map in one turn.

I agree OP. Best surprise of the year for me as well. Longtime Mario and Xcom fan here so its not a shock though. Currently in world two, I did half the challenges of world 1 but wanted to level a bit before going back for the rest. Does anyone know when you unlock the 5th character?

Nice to hear that!

After 2-3.

I honestly feel stupid when I fought Rabbid Kong. I would keep sending Luigi in because of his double jump, not realizing I could trigger the button by using the sentry until the last turn, after Mario and Rabbid Luigi were knocked out.

My friend further surprised me when he told me he won the fight by using Bounce abilities and pushing enemies into the button, which sounds needlessly complex, but I appreciate there are multiple approaches into winning fights.

Awesome thanks Im close then. I wanted to see what weapons they have before I buy anything else. Liking how the sentries mess with the AI and thinking of getting Mario's hammer next

>only 4 worlds

I keep seeing people saying the exact same things about this game in every thread. Is this a shill tactic?

I lucked out with the sentry ans figured that out on the second turn. Took me longer than it should have to realize the full cover made you immune from his shockwaves though

>enjoy XCOM, but suck at it, even on easy setting
>figure this would be a lot easier to enjoy because it's Mario
>getting my ass stomped by mid-world 2

Maybe I should just kill myself.

Well world 1 took me about 3-4 hours and Ive heard the difficulty ramps up quite a bit. 20 hours or so including some challenges isnt bad for a 60 dollar game, though I do wish it was longer.

And each one is pretty long, on top of all of the bonus & hidden missions.
The one thing the game has is a good amount of content.

To be fair they feel like multiple worlds crammed together
World 1 goes from plains to water to jungle to sunset ruins to a jenga tower

>even on easy setting
are you actually braindead

you're not doing something retarded like not upgrading your gear or forgetting about applying power orbs?

>Just beat Xcom 2 WotC on Ironaman commander
>Playin this and i've reset some battles multiple times

I constantly want the highest bonus, but the game plays very different from xcom to keep even myself engaged. The hyper aggressiveness you have to play with is pretty refreshing.

He's talking about Xcom on easy mode.

>Convince Gamers/Media
Granted I've been actively ignoring all info because ew rabbids but Unisoft are known for being shit.

Worlds are actually pretty long, and going back to do challenges and secret levels add a shit ton more content.

I'm 15 hours in, and still messing with Worlds 1 and 2

Its pretty neat how different it can be. Check out Banner Saga 1 and 2 if youee looking for another great turn based tactics game too user. Its actually has a great story as well and is different enough from Xcom to be really fun

>you can reset your skill tree at any time

>not realizing I could trigger the button by using the sentry until the last turn
explain

N-Nani?

>use sentry
>it drives up to kong
>presses the button

did you really need this explained?

If you send a sentry to the boss it wont reach him but it will hit the switch that continues the fight each time.

every thread about a video game

>hurrrrrrrrrr shills!!!!111111

just fucking kill yourself already. we want to talk about video games. fuck off.

The sentry can drive and activate the button.

Hell, it cant even reach DK, so it maybe possible to do it on turn 1 and it follow DK pressing the button to remove the bananas

This might be the best ubisoft game in a long ever.

well fuck I sent R Peach there every time. R Kong fucked her hard

>Reach zone mission
>have luigi with maxed out team jump
>Itchy feet
>move rabbid as far as possible
>use mario to jump off the rabbid as far as possible (onto an enemy and go further if possible too)
>Luigi covers like 25 fucking cells in one turn of movement/double jump
>Turn limit 7 to Perfect mission
>Complete it in 2

>rabbid peach
if your team isn't Mario/Luigi/Rabbid Luigi then just get out of my face. Every time I got a new character I couldn't justify using them over the Luigi's.

Honestly I'd prefer to swap Mario out for someone else but you can't.

This, who needs heals when you can snipe rabbids across the map, or life steal it all back.

is Luigi that good? my team is R Peach, R Luigi, Mario

What is regular yoshi's gimmick?
Hes the only one I dont have.

>can't get rid of him tier
Mario

>Luigi tier
Luigi, Rabbid Luigi

>irrelevant tier
Everyone else

>taking any rabbids once you have the ability to always roll with 3 real Mario characters

absolutely disgusting

Pretty good Tier list I have to say.

when do you get that ability, when you get real Yoshi?

ok I'll SWITCH from R Peach to Luigi

>389667686
You get real Peach at the end of World 2 IIRC

Yoshi's regular gimmick is that he makes a ground pound when he Team Jumps, as well as having a skill that makes weapon effect guaranteed.

I don't know if you're aware of this fact my good friend but you're not allowed to not have a rabbid in the party

Selecting Luigi or Peach for your team greys out the other, leaving only rabbids.

Even when you get Peach you're still forced to have one Rabbid in your team.

Currently at world 3.

Was that the mission early in world 4? There were lots of zig-zagging paths but Luigi does indeed close off the whole distance in almost one turn with fully powered-up movement abilities.

Well most people here played Xcom several years ago. Glad to see Nintendo fags can finally play a cheap knockoff of the series.

>There are people that don't know the pure bliss of Mario + Luigi + R.Mario
Using R.Mario magnet into 5 overwatch shot then cleanup with hammer or shotty feels incredibly good. And R. Mario got some vamp weapons to help, even if it's not as reliable as RLuigi dash

I cannot believe we ended up in the timeline where not only does this game exist, but most people have positive things to say about it.

I'm at World 4-8 now and I certainly suck ass. I love the game so far, but I'm not getting perfects in any of the stages anymore because I stupidly let one of my characters die near the end of a mission or I don't complete them fast enough.

I use a team of Mario, Rabbid Luigi, and Rabbid Peach for the most part.

I enjoy Xcom but Mario+Rabbids is more fun

Seriously, coming from Xcom where you have to inch your way around the map to Mario+rabbids running 8 cells, dashing into 2 enemies, running 16 cells the opposite direction into a pipe which moves you across the map and then run to another pipe which takes you across the map again to jump off an allied character 8 cells to stomp an enemy and land 5 cells away behind full cover and shooting them with a flanked shot all in ONE FUCKING TURN feels fucking incredible

Or people that played xcom back then are glad that there's more like it now.

how hard is it compared to world 1

While there may be some debate over which rabbid to take as the third party member, Luigi is non-negotiable.

stop replying to obvious baits

Princess Peach is the best in the game

It's not like Ubisoft only makes shit. They just make shit 99% of the time. The last two Rayman games were pretty good. Hearing about how hard they worked to try to impress Nintendo, there's definitely still people who care about games at Ubisoft.

it's a solid game, definitvely not a 10/10 but fun

>BUT-BUT RABBIDS!

most people posting on Sup Forums right now didn't even had pubes when they made their first appearance

As World 4's the final world, it's much tougher. Some of the levels are easier than others, but one in particular that stood out to me as being a huge pain in the ass is 4-3/4-4 (forgot which one), where you have to kill 9 enemies. Every single enemy outside of two Hoppers are Smashers and a group of Smashers spawns every other turn. Smashers usually aren't a problem, but they're horrifying in huge groups, even with Rabbid Luigi's drain dash.

Should I replace Rabbid Peach with him? I've been using Rabbid Peach as a healer, but I guess I can use Rabbid Luigi for that if I can use my vampire attacks better.

You literally never get to use Peach apart from her forced mission because using Peach means you're not using Luigi

If you're lucky, you can also send an enemy flying to trigger the button.

I switch characters, but I just like Peach

...

Why is Rosalina not in the game LMAO

lads

I would also cry If I made a good Mario game

I laughed at that one faggot who made this game crying at its reveal, but knowing that they tried really hard to impress Nintendo and that the game came out really good actually makes me feel good for him.
Maybe Ubisoft can produce something more than open world tower climbing yawn fests.

Its hard to fuck up these kinds of games if you think about it. Makes me wonder why there isnt more of them, generally they are either ok or great games.

I just got R Mario and this nigga is fucking crazy. If the explosions didn't hurt nearby allies I'd probably keep using him.

>calling him a faggot

I called the police

>thread of shills pretending they enjoy a shitty xcom ripoff

Is this what Nintendo is reduced to these days? Sad

150 double dash's that apply significant lifesteal is too good to pass up brah

I'm also amazed by how well Mario works in every goddamn context.

you did the right thing

I mean its not bad at all, but I think that people are giving it way more credit than its worth. I think its because noone expected it to actually be good. Id still play regular Xcom over this, but thats not to say this is bad, I wish actual Xcom games got this kind of recognition.

>its not bad at all
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

STOP. REPLYING. TO. OBVIOUS. BLATANT. SHITPOSTERS. YOU. FUCKING. RETARD.

Not a fan of the fact she has to use a boomshot.
Kinda makes using her as a frontlines support a pain when she just destroys cover and has to be out in the open to hit anything.

She is what /tg/ calls a "Paladin".

>I wish actual Xcom games got this kind og recognition

What? they do, Wasn't Enemy Unknown pretty praised? They just fucked up Xcom 2 by making it an unoptimized piece of shit, even with the updates in WotC there is no reason why it runs so shitty still.

How comfortable

screenshot or it's not possible

What are you talking about, you go into skill trees and theres a reset button there.

>Maybe Ubisoft can produce something more than open world tower climbing yawn fests.

they have

it's called rayman

It's pretty funny that this game got and is still getting a ton of praise while the Xcom 2 expansion was only hailed by grognards, virgins and other such unlikables before vanishing from the collective consciousness.

Might as well ask me to stop posting on Sup Forums

might I add the expanision and m+r:kb came out on the same day

wholesome twitter

WOTC has gotten praise everywhere I've seen it mentioned, but it's also a DLC for an already released game and is PC only. Whereas this is a new release, on a console that's still pretty hot and new (and was lacking for exclusives), and it was an E3 headliner game for Ubisoft, and it's a Mario game, and it seemed so goofy and destined to fail that a lot of people were curious about it.

When a professional marathon runner is able to run a bit farther and faster than he ever could before it's interesting, but people are gonna be way more interested to hear about the one-legged retarded 12 year old kid who managed to finish a race.

I've never played a game of Xcom in my life, and it's still not that hard of a game. It gets a little challenging but it's not hard by any means.

Or maybe Xcom 2 is just kind of bad.

wholesome

You're allowed to feel however you want about the quality of a videogame user

Why the fuck am I forced to use a damn rabbid in the party, I just want to kill them.
The game's pretty fun, but I expected a secret world or something

i want that goddamn hat

WHY DOES NOBODY EVER MENTION THE MUSIC? IT'S GODLIKE

Fine. The music is pretty good. This is the best one:
youtube.com/watch?v=k7fHqIiF99c

Holy shit that sounds pretty great, a guaranteed honey proc could come in fucking handy

Okay, you're either retarded or you don't have the game. You HAVE to have a rabbid in the party. The game will not allow you to pick two non-rabbid characters.

It's great yeah especially for the game itself but it's not catchy like Sonic Mania's music for example
