What if I told you they were all fully-grown adults?
Makes sense, their children have hijacked their ipads on the sofa.

It is a great game, and a good Mario game with some very original and interesting ideas, don't get me wrong. But I disagree with it being the best game of the generation.
I agree with
DunDunDunpachi
saying Super Mario 3D World was a better game. I'm more a fan of the "traditional" Mario stuff, so no Mario game in the sandbox format will outdo them. It is the best sandbox Mario game to date I think. No doubt.

BotW is tops.
Of the recent 3d Marios, Galaxy 1 still holds the top spot, followed by 3d World, and finally Odyssey in third.

Happy for Nintendo. Personally I enjoyed Mario Odyssey greatly but not to the extent that I thought it was that groundbreaking. To me it lacked "traditional" platforming-challenges. Also, I am more of a 2D Mario-guy which is why I prefer 3D World over Odyssey. I´m aware that I´m crazy, yeah...
Nonetheless, I think it´s a suberb videogame with an awesome feel-good atmosphere and an essential title for the Nintendo Switch.

Not crazy at all, 3D World is a beautiful game. It was a bit divisive when it came out for what it wasn't (an exploration based game with full analog control), and not loved enough for what it was (an expertly designed, perfectly paced and fun as fuck collection of levels). I love it more and more and I badly want a sequel.

It’s not.
It’s a great game, full of creativity and polish. But it’s not even the best 3D Mario, c’mon now.

I don’t mind if people just don’t like Nintendo games, we all have different taste, but thing I found extremely strange is people just pissed off that Switch doing well, and they have justify it somehow and calling anyone who enjoys them “fanboys”.
I really want know why they get angry about it.

Immaturity , I bet the ones the get the angriest don’t even own a Switch.
Let them bitch and us “fanboys” will still be having fun gaming on our console made for babies. It doesn’t really bother me but I do find it funny what lengths some go just to put Nintendo down.

I came up with 2 possibilities:
1. based on old Switch sales prediction thread, lots of people expected/hoped Switch would fail but it didn't.
2. If you look at most NeoGAF threads. you will see far more people care about graphics so the entire idea of under power console like Switch selling well makes them angry.
That best reasons I can think of.

Okay, I admit not everyone is going to have as good of a taste in gaming as I do.
I don't doubt people would aquire a taste for garbage, and even consider it "good", if that's all they ate their entire life. You do you though.

Gamers love Nintendo and SONY games.

Whats your issue for people liking the games you don't like!? You act like people are immature for liking Nintendo games but you yourself act like angry child and insulting everyone who doesn't share your taste in games. For fuck sake just get over it, not everyone is gonna like what you like.

OutrageousFacts, is that you?Okay, I admit not everyone is going to have as good of a taste in gaming as I do.
Edit: Just to be clear, I liked having him on here. The shrug emote (combined with a penguin) just reminds me of his posting style a lot.
And I hope he'll ask for his self-requested permaban to be lifted someday, or when Xenoblade Remastered is released. He clearly has a passion for the games he loves and while he tends to jump into arguments a bit quickly, his discussions are decent food for thought.

Mario/Zelda is one-two punch of some of the best gaming of either series and indeed a system seller. can't argue with that top 3.
Mario Odyssey is really something special. the graphics are wonderful and the gameplay is seamless. like the best 3D Mario games once you master the controls it is easy to flip and jump and do super crazy cool acrobatics to get around, and you can pull them off with ease and just a few buttons. it is super polished, fun to play, and has dozens of hours worth of additional platforming challenges in NG+ once you beat the game. it's a great package, Nintendo really crafted a thing of beauty.
on top of that, there is the top notch art design, the wonderfully vivid cartoon nearly Pixar-level graphical fidelity it all, the good mix of realistic style open worlds and Mario Sunshine-style abstract platforming. i really loved New Donk City, and was all smiles for so many parts of the game. the open world aspects i felt were very well done; each of the main levels is a giant open world hub, with lots of pipes and doorways within that go to other, mini-level areas. if you think back to Super Mario Bros. 3 or whatever, there always were these little bite sized chunks set off to the side, where you could run to collect coins or whatever. Odyssey continues that tradition, burying dozens of micro levels throughout the Mario 64-style main worlds. it's very much like a sequel to that game.
SMB3 is to SMW as SM64 is to SMO

Odyssey fucking sucked. One of the worst 3D Marios yet.

I don’t wanna be that guy but I’m gonna be that guy.
It wouldn’t be the highest rated if it wasn’t a Mario game.
