I just can't get over how much fun this game is. That's what it all comes down to. FUN.
And for what it's worth, it's only easy during the main story which isn't even half the game. Once you open up the endgame and fully unlock all kingdoms there's a lot of challenge.
If you don't play this, you're really missing out, no matter what company you're a "fan" of.
This is pure ludo.
>its FUN!!!

Don't you like fun?
It's for children, literally and figuratively.

That weeb pandering at the end was kind of uncalled for. It's almost cringe worthy.
>"reddit memecuck words" motivate human happiness and will to pursue life

I got 90s movie vibes. Like Shrek or something. It was all warm, fuzzy, feel-good nostalgia.

How can a game figuratively be for children?
Fuck this thread already. Apparently maturity is hating fun.
this is a no nintenbro zone, reditor
>That weeb pandering at the end was kind of uncalled for. It's almost cringe worthy.
It's a game about traveling the world and seeing different cultures. It doesn't stick anymore than Mexico Land.
It's no surprise really, this game deserved prematurely winning the 2017 GOTY as voted by Sup Forums

Sup Forums's opinion of Splatoon 2 has soured, honestly. There are plenty of things wrong with it. Change July to pic related.
>I would rather have nothing win gotm (something always has to, hence why Prey in May, just a weak month) because of a few anti-Nintendo shitposters
I mean, i agree that it's some mindless fun, but in order for a game to be really engaging and really fun it needs to be at least somewhat challenging, to me personally at least. I don't know where you got the idea that the post game is challenging, the game is never challenging. It's a complete safe space of gaming. Honestly, my biggest issue with this game - and it's a big one - is that the moons just aren't a satisfying main collectible. The main collectible in a collectathon should feel satisfying to get but they're almsot Korok seed tier.
>Talk to someone to get a moon
>Use ground pound on suspicious place to get a moon
>Jump on top a little thing to get a moon
>Ground pound in completely random areas to get a moon (These are supposedly the """well hidden""" ones)
Meh.
Still a 7/10 game overall
Grow up and play a real game like Horizon Zero Dawn.
>anti-Nintendo shitposters
Keep telling (you)rself, that.
How many moons do you have? Are you sure you're in the post game?
I find them much more enjoying than korok seeds, especially postgame has plenty of challenging ones.
Also, have you considered that you have just become better at video games? SM64 and Sunshine are not as hard as you might remember them to be.
But all videogames are for children.
>inb4 mature ratings and adult marketing
All for children, they eat that shit up. Why do you think ads for toys use teens and young adults?
Vidya is a childish hobby, you may as well enjoy it instead of thinking you're a """mature""" gamer
The only challenge is hunting down straggling moons, which is more of a pain in the ass than anything.
Not saying SM64 or sunshine were hard either, but at least most collectibles in those games had some kind of dedicated challenge designed around obtaining them, whereas suns are just quantity, quantity, quantity. I mean, they're more enjoyable than Korok seeds overall, but there are still a lot of moons that are just the same as Korok seeds. Using Ground Pounds on a suspicious looking place for the 20th time is pretty much the same amount of good game design as placing a rock in a stone circle for the 20th time. And by that i mean that it's not good.
Many reviews point out just how many moons there are in a game, as if it was solely a positive thing, and i guess that was Nintendos goal, but i'd prefer a quarter the amount of moons over what we have, with some actual effort put into them
oops. meant moons not suns in my first sentence.
The core gameplay of Splatoon has and always will be amazing, but Splatoon 2 isn't a proper sequel and Nintendo not only reintroduced idiotic decisions from the first game, but included new ones as well. And the online is fucking even worse than the first one. No game has ever made rage as hard as Splatoon has. I fucking hate how hard they've gimped a game with such phenomenal gameplay at its core.
Change August to Sonic Mania.
I like how theres all kinds of moons, the game has to appeal to a large demographic. There are a lot of moons in tricky places.
It makes sense that they would make it so that the main game (go defeat bowser) would be the easy part, so that even some little kid can enjoy the game. For all others there's so much more to do post game with challenging moons you unlock later.
Culminae crater is ball busting at points, I haven't beat it yet.
Also, nice word pun Nintendo.
>using buzzreplies that started on YCS
kek
what do you mean pun
Well, maybe SMO will come with a DLC Hard mode.
Complete garbage, more like. It tries to be both Ninja Gaiden and Souls and isn't nearly as good as either. Combat is shallow, enemy variety is nonexistent, and the levels are simple and lazily designed.
And yet it's still slightly ahead of Nier
...
I just beat the game. What a fucking piece of shit ending.
>Games so meh. 7 out of....
>Suddenly...
>That after the ending
IM literally in tears. 9.5/10 goty
>I just beat the game
You mean you went through the tutorial mode? Real game starts now buddy.
if it really was fun, you would be playing it instead of making threads on Sup Forums.
May should be Endless Space 2, Prey didn't manage to push the bounds of anything, Endless Space 2 is a massive improvement on Endless Space/Legend and it's soundtrack is probably this years best, depends on if Xenoblade 2 delivers on it's soundtrack.

If they do I really hope they fix how Mario controls otherwise it'll just be a frustrating pain in the ass.
I keep hearing the 'real game starts when you beat the game' but how is that exactly? Without spoiling anything, does that mean all you get is access to more moons, the ones you couldn't get before? Is that really all, orrrr...?
Pretty okay list imo, I think Sonic Mania barely edges out Rabbids, What else came out in July? I love Splatoon but its not the most amaing game like most of these other games are. Havent played Prey

Basically, when playing through the game (the main story until Bowser at the end you know), you only see small portions and things to do in each kingdom, it opens up a lot more in each place afterwards with way more things to get, much harder too.
No it isn't.
Not true, end game just gives you more Moons per level to collect.
>mario + rabbids
>goty
>Prey
Nigga please
Where does it say mario + rabbids is goty?
It's GOTM only.
This, when you're interrupted every 30 seconds, it becomes a problem.
Beating the game unlocks more moons in every level for you to get but real game starts after the ending is an exaduration
The music is literally a smooth rendition of Muda Kingdom from Super Mario Land.

There are more Moons with a dedicated challenge in Odyssey then Sunshine, so if you are playing just for the core content you still get more.
The obvious ones feel like they're in place to progress the story. I don't mind them, it's just something to fill the ship
When someone who is upset by these and ass stomps do they genuinely rage when a moon comes out?
Basically like most Mario games, you only need a certain amount of progression to unlock the next kingdom each time. The game usually only asks you to find 10-15 moons in each world before you can move on. Usually hitting these minimums is very easy.
But each world usually has between 20-60 moons total, meaning that you really are just scraping the surface of each world when you pass through the first time.
After you finish the game you unlock a new kingdom, as well as smaller post game worlds too later on. And the game basically just encourages you to keep playing with a steady stream of neat unlocks as you find more moons.
I finished the main story with 100-200 moons out of the total 800+
Oh, okay, cool, so no need to stress myself on the first go through then.
Not at all, if anything just go through, you'll only be able to really do everything everywhere after the main story anyway
>Muda Kingdom
Could this be...
It's kind of bullshit, honestly. Yes it gives more moons that only unlock after you beat the game, but what people mean is if you only follow what you're supposed to be doing in the story mode without any real exploration. If you've already been exploring, then it doesn't really apply.
This game is currently my game of the year. I felt Zelda was overrated - wonderful game world which was ruined by a lack of compelling dungeons and repetitive enemies - but Odyssey delivers the goods. The game just drags you in and keeps you enthralled in the wonderful and crazy imagination of the Japanese developers who are not bogged down by (((Hollywood))) cliches and Western style fixation on politics and diversity. Long live Nintendo!
I really like all the accordion music Nintendo is using. That song is amazing.
Yeah I feel like between BotW and Odyssey, the latter wins for me as well.
I feel sad they didn't use chai kingdom for bowsers weeb kingdom now.
youtube.com
Not even remotely close.
BOTW has laid the foundations for the next Zelda game perfectly. A little more structure, a little more variety while retaining the open world character and you have the foundations for a game that will go down as an all classic. I got bored of Zelda after playing through my second Divine Beast dungeon... felt like there was not enough meat on them bones. The cohesion of the world Nintendo created was a thing of beauty, it just seemed to lack that spark to keep me going though.
Definitely needs a bit more structure and maybe linearity to it. I don't think Zelda should be this open, as much fun as its sandboxyness is.
>you have the foundations for a game that will go down as an all classic.
make that all time classic.
To me Wind Waker remains the best Zelda game I have played.
you're off your fucking lips mate, it's way better than souls and nier
t. previous soulsfag.
14 seconds in is pretty much the exact tune.
I hate to admit this but that insufferable faggot Jim Sterling probably nailed it with his review of BOTW...
WW HD is the most pleasing game to the eyes man.
I want them to put a triforce collection consisting of WW HD + TP HD + all new SS HD (with two control schemes, the one it has and a new pro controller focused traditional one) on the Switch.
>It's way better than Souls
calm down there buddy, it's better than NieR but that's it. Souls wipes its ass with it.
>I got bored of Zelda after playing through my second Divine Beast dungeon
This.
The open world was beautiful and compelling, but never provided any proper incentives to explore it. You see neat looking scenery and go to investigate, only to come across more bokoblin camps, korok seeds, or a shrine. If they integrated the shrine puzzles and the dungeons seamlessly into the world, provide far more compelling and useful collectables, don't completely frontload the items and abilities needed to beat the game to the tutorial area, make the combat actually worth a damn, and provide a story where everything remotely interesting didn't happen 100 years ago, then they'd have a winner.
>yfw Giant Dragon
I thought the Dinosaur was the most we were going to get and then seeing a giant ass Dark Dragon in a Mario game is great.
I still have fond memories of sailing the seas, soaking up the ever changing colors with that wonderful music evoking the wanderlust that resides deep within my spirit. WW is a special - special game, certainly better than BOTW for me.
Yeah I agree completely, they have the sown the seeds of something truly epic with BOTW... and I get the feeling that the next Zelda will be up there with the best.
>tfw no one remembers this fella

Even though I feel like this song should be more impressive, it just sounds like forgettable elevator music to me.

I don't know why, but Dire Dire Docks just crushes it. I remember the tune to this day. Even though it's simpler, and nowhere near as technical, the atmosphere and soothing qualities are phenomenal.

Being a Broodal is suffering
Not to mention your boss is too busy walking her chain chomp to give a shit about you.
Nintendo need to hurry the fuck up and make a Nintendo store worth giving a fuck about... Imagine having the classics at your disposal on the Switch... the Metroid trilogy, Zelda's from the days of yore, Mario Galaxy and so on... what are they waiting for???
...
I already fell for the "this is PURE AUTHENTIC FUN THAT NO OTHER COMPANY BUT NINTENDO CAN COME UP WITH" meme with Super Mario Galaxy only to find an uninteresting, cringy excuse of a game that I could play with my feet and still never get a game over screen.
Go play The Witcher 3 if you want to see what's a game with actual effort put on that is worth your money.
Comets in SMG are harder than anything in TW3.
Fuck off, the moons and controls are legitimate criticisms.
