What did they mean by this?

Is this...a compliment?

Do they assume that their readers played Dishonored?

Also, check out the second image in this pic (under the word "WAFFLE")

For the nintendo fans that don't play anything but the same 8 series nintendo gives it's reffering to body possession. I doubt it'll be on the same level as dishonored though but i expect mario fans to call anything after this releases with that mechanic a rip off.

Dishonored is good and all but what the hell is he saying?

>>380471590
But Dishonored isn't even a platformer. Botw and Skyrim is a fair comparison, but what the fuck

is he trashing it or what?

Dishonored is more stealth than platformer. I don't understand

>>380472584
>>380472339
you have power to possess animals and people in dishonored and you jump up to higher places to reach your goal. Those are the only similarities I can see.

>>380471590
Are the genuinely saying Odyssey looks like a bad game?

>>380472012
Does Dishonored have dinosaurs in it?

>>380472683
>Nintendo's Dark Souls

Metroid with sword combat?

>>380472639
No Jamal, we don't behead people here. When will you learn that?

Does the ending change depending on how many people Mario murders?

>>380471590
Alright bare with me here but I think it's trying to say it has tight controls?

>>380471590
does this mean they are implementing a stealth element or maybe a shit morality system?
is it going to be a darker story maybe?
i can see a zelda skyrim comparison but what the hell does dishonored have to do with mario?

>>380471590
>While Super Mario Odyssey is an authentic, robust, finely crafted, and ludicrously-honed 3D Mario game in its heart, with all the tactile, polished, instinctive and rewarding jump-based traversal that entails, Cappy builds that framework into so much more. Cappy offers a freedom to manipulate, reinterpret, and ‘cheat’ your way through environments that, with no exaggeration of facetiousness, makes it feel like Nintendo has developed its first Immersive Sim. If The Breath of the Wild is Nintendo’s Skyrim, Super Mario Odyssey is its Dishonored or Prey.

That's what he meant, and fuck you.

wtf i'm hyped now

didn't geist do the whole possession thing like 15 years ago for nintendo?

So Mario is too powerful?

>>380471590

liberal people was a mistake.

>>380471590
it's an experimental stealth game with multiple different outcomes depending how you play?

Holy shit, Dishonored is from Bethesda? I never knew.

>>380471590
Why couldn't they just say
"Super Mario Odyssey seems like the Switch's next big game"
what is this comparison?

>>380471590
They meant that the reviewer has never played a video game and is just mindlessly comparing games to each other.

>>380471590
Isn't Breath of the Wild, like, a legendary-tier game? Skyrim is, what, an overhyped piece of garbage?

Probably just means that the game presents you with a challenge and there are multiple ways to overcome it thanks to the hat abilities.

>>380471590
I never played Dishonored but isn't it a stealth game? Why not compare Mario to like Farcry or something?

>>380480181
It's not, they just published it. Bethesda themselves basically only make Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, at least for the past decade or two. They used to do a lot of other little stuff but after Morrowind's massive success they started focusing only on that one style of game.

>>380471590
It's gonna be really fucking short like Dishonored

>>380471590
>Dishonored
Pre-order cancelled

I think they're saying it's going to be critically praised, but its actually terrible

>>380480894
When was Mario about fighting enemies outside of bosses?

>BotW is Nintendo's Skyrim
you what? if something Skyrim is Bethesda's Zelda
>comparing the most well know character of videogames to fucking Dishonored.

>>380471590
Has social media damaged everyone's brains to the point where they can't read more than 140 characters at a time? It's a fucking article, not a riddle. If you want to know what he meant then just read it; he goes into great detail explaining it. If you don't want to know what he meant then fuck off and don't waste space posting it.

As someone who hasn't watched any Odyssey gameplay, my immediate assumption is:
>Skyrim and BOTW are both open world games, thus the comparison between Odyssey and Dishonored is about their level design.
>Dishonored had open level design where you could approach objectives the way you wanted to, thus Odyssey shares this trait.

If this isn't the case, then the journalist can't into writing comparisons.

>>380482271
Yep, that's exactly what was meant.

Holy fuck remember that one time when Mario slit some guy's throat and then shot the other one in the head with a gun? What the fuck Nintendo, I thought those games were supposed to be family friendly.

>>380480857
So if Odyssey is Nintendo's Dishonored, then Dishonored is Bethesda's Deus Ex?
(and so on)

>>380482134
>>comparing the most well know character of videogames to fucking Dishonored.
Don't you know? Everything is ICONIC!!!1 now. Ask Ubishit, they started it. Dishonored is an iconic piece of video game history.

What's Nintendo's Half Life?

>>380476275
This person needs to start taking meds or stop doing drugs. Just because you can jump into a bullet bill and fly around doesn't make the game in any way like Dishonored.
