Okay, I took a week off from the internet to chill out, and get my chakra recentered (it's like a tire alignment for the soul).
But now I'm back! Problem is, I'm busy as hell now, so I'm just gonna have to make quick snipe posts until this weekend. So, with that said, SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY! WOOOO! HELL YEAH!

It's very good Renz. There's an awesome amount of sheer, playful inventiveness on display.
Also, dark theorytime!
Mario is dead.
He gets knocked off of the airship at the start of the game, presumably falls to his death, which is hinted at by the tattered cap, and ends up in a muted world populated by what look like Boos in disguise. I reckon Bonneton is the underworld.
He then gets a new hat which gives him the power to possess both sentient and inanimate objects, like a ghost.
DEAD I TELLS YA.

It's like everything that was great about Mario 64, supersized and made even more dense with crazy secrets. It is the perfect 3D Mario game.
And my theory is that...
Mario finally kicked his mushroom habit, hence why there are none to be found in the game, and everything you see happen in Odyssey is a fever dream hallucination he's experiencing while going through the early stages of withdrawal.
If I have to find one thing to complain about, it'd be the complete lack (so far) of slide levels. If there aren't any in Odyssey, it'll be a damn crying shame.
Malf on 31/10/2017 at 15:46
Yeah, I've thought that too. Sliding that is. I especially think the addition of the Samus-like roll indicates that sliding probably wont feature. But there's still plenty of time for me to be proven wrong.

Hey, Malf. Have you found the Mario 64 costume yet? Still need to get the hat, myself.

Nope! Not got that one yet. You say have I "found" it Renz; do you mean outfits can be found outside of shops?
Renzatic on 1/11/2017 at 14:43
I found the shop it's sold in, so it still works.

You were gone? Huh.
I picked up Odyssey too, but for some reason I haven't played much yet. Finishing up other games and playing FMs I guess.
Malf on 1/11/2017 at 14:55
I'm on my fifth world in Odyssey, but that doesn't mean I've completed the previous ones. I'm sure there's still tons of things I've missed.
But I'm also still playing Horizon Zero Dawn, I'm popping in and out of The Division, and I've also got TLOU Remastered and Uncharted 4 cued up.
I also really need to get around to finally fighting Ganon in Zelda BoTW, I've still not finished West of Loathing or Night in the Woods, and really enjoyed the little time we spent with Helldivers at the weekend.
And I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff I'm forgetting.

Speaking as someone who isn't even playing it, Mario Odyssey definitely deserves it's own thread.
icemann, surely you can rebind that button?
