Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle

not

Same as all Mario games, pretty good but you got over actually giving a shit about Mario games years ago.

77 on metacritic
Doesn't look like absolute dogshit, but also doesn't look like something that you'd enjoy playing

>>386535063
85 on metacritic
Critics will generally praise the game but will complain about the few number of worlds and the shallow exploration parts

>>386535063
>How bad will it be?
kill yourself as soon as possible, retard

>but also doesn't look like something that you'd enjoy playing
Exactly the opposite.

>>386535063
Looks really good but I can't see the combat systems being deep enough to make it interesting
Id be happy to be proved wrong though

>>386535063
It doesn't look bad as per "holy shit what were they thinking", right now it looks like random shovelware with a little polish.
It doesn't look any more offensive than Mario&Sonic at the Olympics and other crap like that. Well that doesn't mean anything good but at least it's nothing like the complete distaster people were expecting.

>>386535491
The combat looks about as deep as nu-XCOM, and I enjoyed those games.

I think what will really make or break it will be enemy variety.

can't wait

>Exploration parts: “I don’t want to spoil much, but I will say it’s 30 percent of the overall game. It’s needed to connect the combat phases, but I didn’t want to ever just have a hub where the player could load battles. I wanted to create a seamless experience and that’s why we said players should really immerse in the exploration, and you know every world is divided into 10 chapters, like the chapters of a book, you can read just a chapter, or you can read multiple of them. There’s are some secret chapters in each world. In each world there is a mid boss in the middle of it. There’s a boss fight at the end of it. There are secret chapters, and in between you have exploration where you can collect treasure chests in order to find collectibles, but also cool weapons that can upgrade your character. You can solve puzzles to advance and you can meet several other heroes that will start to be part of your roster. And each of the heroes has unique abilities; these will open up new possibilities in terms of strategy gameplay for the players to be applied on the battleground.”

blatant shill thread

abort

>>386535063
Not at all.

>>386535063
should have been the Rayman Legends cast meets Mario fighting against the Rabbids

>shilling your game
don't worry I'm already getting it but don't do this.

I think this game will be a solid 8_ rated game on metacritic, might be a bit short, will have good music and fun gameplay though the gameplay will obviously be much easier than even the new XCOM stuff.

Is it bad that I'm starting to like that rabbids because of this game?
Some of the enemy rabbids are genuinely well designed

>>386535063
Average Ubisoft crap.

>shill
woah, deep

>>386536326
It's confirmed to be around 20 hours long

>>386536326
Nah I remember reading on one of the gameplay video descriptions saying they skip "20 hours further" into the game.

>>386535063
Not very. Looks like fun and from what I can tell you have to use three character's, so you don't have to use Rabbid's.

>>386536341
Why would you hate a vidya character? Are you an insecure 12yo with mental problems? Rabbids are nice.

>>386535272
This sounds pretty realistic.

You can see that they wanted to impress Nintendo. And they fucking succeeded. Visually it looks phenomenal and the gameplay looks fun as fuck.

>>386535654
They've spent three years on this game and the lead director was crying when it was finally shown off. It has more passion behind it than "random shovelware with a little polish".

>>386536416
is that 20 hours more with a dog playing it so nothing is happening or a person who actually knows how to play a game? because that 20 hours could easily turn into 4-5

>>386536578
come on, dude, you're replying to an obvious shitposter

What is the release date?

>>386537392
29th of this month.

>>386535063
I'm expecting pure mediocrity. People are only singing its praises because they started out with rock-bottom expectations. Looking at the actual gameplay, it's basically babby's first nu-XCOM, with very few of the things that make XCOM enjoyable.

>flat uninteresting level design
>boring New Super Mario-esque setpieces
>static characters, no perma-death
>nothing even resembling the geoscape, between battles all you do is just walk around
>boring skill tree progression
>will probably be piss easy (video game journalism aside)

And it doesn't even look appealing from a fanservice perspective, half the cast is made up of shitty rabbids. The game would be much better as a pure Mario game that could incorporate the more interesting obscurer characters.

It should give me my bing bing fix until Odyssey comes out. Also It'll be nice to have a single player game other than Zelda on my Switch

>>386535063
It looks like one of those games you give to kids so they can shut up for a while

>>386538458
>wasting your time typing that bullshit

nu-XCOM
jesus christ, you need some fresh air

>>386538458
i'm not trying to shit on XCOM but how are

>flat uninteresting level design
>Boring skill tree progression

any different from XCOM?

and how is
>static characters no permadeath
worse than
>No characters at all, but hey your nameless grunts can permadie

>>386535063
Could be great, but I'm not buying it because of the Rabbids.

>Get to shoot Rabbids
>Mario ripped off Mega Man's buster and gets to shoot Rabbids
>Bazooka Yoshi

Good enough for me.
