Why is the media trying so hard to make this game the 2nd coming of Christ? it's a fucking solid 8/10 nothing less nothing more

Nah, it's a solid 9.5/10. Stay salty.

I presume they list various reasons why they find it favorable.

Same thing with BOTW, Nintendo is really pushing to be back where they were with the N64

I enjoyed it but I'd still rather play SM64 instead of staying in one area trying to get 20 moons

Your comparing 2 Different designs user

Because nobody knows how to make a good 3D Platformer that’s why

Then here comes Mario not only being a good game but also setting yet another standard in it

Mario literally has no competition and yet still innovates

Bitch please, it is adequately good. 9/10

Not really, Galaxy games were 9/10 and Odyssey is better than those therefore it's a 9.5/10

I found botw to be pretty boring. I gave up after about 10 hours. I don't really get the hype.

Mario Odyssey is my goty. I feel like this is the first time they recaptured the magic of SMW and Mario 64. All Mario games are good but Odyssey is something special.

>why cant people just agree with my contrarian opinion boo hoo
jesus christ Sup Forums, first BOTW and now Odyssey. This is getting really pathetic.
BOTW is alright, but I'm not gonna cry about everyone else praising it to hell and back because I don't care, and neither should you. Own up to your shit opinions and cry to somebody who cares.

>talking shit about mario
Why is this allowed

Sup Forums Sup Forums isn't the media

I wouldn't say it's an 8. It's a really good platformer that's held back by its own design. Staying in one stage for hours is tedious, and while the game tries its damnest to keep things interesting, nothing can help the fact that you're running to and fro the same few areas endlessly.

I'd prefer if levels had 'episodes' to them like Sunshine where the whole area changes based on the mission, or some other modifier, but regardless Odyssey controls so damn well and it kept my playing until the end. 9.5 at best.

this

I wish the open world meme would get knocked down a few pegs.

fuck off

8 is the new 11/10 though, OP. We've had to sit through SO MUCH crap when it comes to games in the last few years that you end up with Sonybros and Micro$hitters living the salt-life. "Bawwwwww, Nintendo is finished!!!" they keep saying, while playing games they could be playing BETTER on a PC. Nintendo is great because they get WHY people buy game-consoles (protip: It's for games), instead of media-devices. I mean I have a great computer hooked up to my TV (also a PS4Pro, and a PS3, and a Raspi3, and also because it was cheap a PSTV), when I want to play A top tier multiplat, or watch movies, or listen to music, net etc, I exclusively go PC, if I want to play a console exclusive, you better bet I'm on my consoles.

Back to the point, Your "solid 8/10" seems to miss the simple fact that MOST games nowadays are solid 5's.

Because single player games without corporate and liberal bullshit deserve to be celebrated. Also the game is amazing based entirely on it's own merits as well.

Odyssey isn't open world you dumb nigger, it's sandbox style just like Mario 64 and Sunshine. While you are free to explore these sandboxes at your leisure, they are not excessively large (except maybe the Sand Kingdom which still isn't that bad.)

>nintend autists argue about their shitty little game made for children

You're all sad why don't you grow up and play a real game like league of legends

What's a 10/10 for you?

>just like Mario 64 and Sunshine
I just can't liken it so much to them. While level structure is similar to M64 (sunshine somehow ended up being more open AND linear at the same time), Odyssey's tone was entirely different, and included a lot of gimmicks, and a lot of the map just felt empty, with too much space in between anything of importance.

tl;dr you're kind of right, but it sure doesn't feel like it.

>it's a fucking solid 8/10 nothing less nothing more
Dammit I want to play this game before spoilers. Whose dick so I have to suck to get a Switch?

Literally me

You're a fucking faggot, dude.

>world can be cleared in 10-20 minutes
>this is somehow "tedious"
>wanting the linear single-goal-then-kicked-out-to-go-back-in-again formula back

so trueee!

Point me to a game were collecting all collectibles want tedious?

I know that Sup Forums likes to give them shit, but I prefer Galaxy 1 and 2. The levels may have been linear, but they were just so much more imaginative and varied. Just because something's non-linear doesn't automatically make it better.

Mario 64 and Galaxy.

its a nintendo game, nintendo games are overrated all the time.

>getting all the green stars in Galaxy 2 wasn't tedious
You are a lying sack of shit.

You stupid assholes talk shit about Mario with a lot of his games already on your own without any other fanbase. Fucking hell.

He said Galaxy not Galaxy 2 you dumbass.

>playing through the same exact levels again but as Luigi wasn't tedious
Galaxy is even more tedious.

Luigi was awesome and it made replaying the game much better. Green Stars in 2 were new content in comparison but I don't remember a goddamn thing about them.
