This game will be good. Next week is pretty busy with this and hot shots golf (yeah I know it's called everybody's golf I don't give a fuuuuuuuuuuck)
Lots of side content then? That was maybe my biggest fear was for longevity/side stuff to do, and why I held off as long as I did in paying my preorder off.
I'm close to half way through so I can't give a final verdict. But if the quality remains I can definitely see 80-90 metascore game. closer to 90.
Game length seems very solid too.I didn't track my playtime but I'm sure I'm already more than 10 hours in.
In this 10h+ I finished world one, did almost every challenge of world 1 and currently sitting close to the end of world 2.
So loooot of stuff left to do

There's 2-player co-op in this, I heard? Is that correct?
How does that work?

Yeah, bar that sub boss which took me down to good since one of the party fell, the perfects haven't been an issue.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Good ideas pay off, it seems, even if most people can't get them at first ; )

Haha. I had a crack at that earlier. 14 enemies in 3 moves? Easy? Nope. I figure I'll come back to the them once I've got better gear.
So after finishing a world there will be more challenges to do, which I assume doesn't require co-op?
Seems like you will be revisiting previous worlds to complete stuff yea?
I'm honestly still very confuse on the modes or contents in game.
I've tried three times now and I'm not getting any better.
Very easy my backside!
Yeah once you've finished a world 10 challenges unlock in said world, and there's lots of secrets and collectibles to go hunt down that you wouldn't be able to get the first time you're going through it.
You failing on challenge mode is really selling me on the game honestly.
I have extremely limited budget for AAA games this year with a few reserved and locked in, so making decision is very hard here.
Thanks! Thank god for the broken street date, so that I can get so many information. Previews are not helping at all with extremely late review (in my timezone).
Yes exactly. After beating a world there will be additional challenges with rewards.
Also it is recommended to revisit world because you get abilities as you progress which open additinal paths

I've just beaten it. I powered up all my slides and a couple of my secondary weapons. The little robot secondary weapons can take out a large group in one hit.

Seeking advice here:
I just learned my Amazon preorder won't ship until Thursday next week, which is unacceptable. Should I use my preorder price to get a cheaper copy at a Walmart so I can play it on launch day? Is there a way to do this?
(I don't have BB, only Amazon).

How do you power up the slides? Is that in the skill tree?

Yeah, in the movement section on the left hand side.
There's a normal hard mode anyway if that helps. You can choose easy normal or hard.
Happy this game is getting lot's of great previews. Hope it sells well so Nintendo can risk to make more crazy games like this with third party developers. My dream is to see a true Mario x Sonic mashup in the shape of either a true 2D platformer/action game or a 3D platformer instead of those average and forgettable Olympic mashups.
Only thing I'm disappointed about so far is, since exploration mode movement is so smooth and controlling Beep-o feels akin to a cursor or stylus, I keep trying to circle around random shit hoping something happens but it never does ;((
I don't know, make trees blossom, shake rocks and give me coins.
Missed opportunity but that's just me.
Sometimes there are even a circle of coins and nothing ever happens in the middle. Somehow it's frustrating to me, especially since Mario games are usually spot on with the interactivity stuff :lol:
Edit: Also framerate often takes a hit during the animations in battle, but not really a big deal

How often would you say that is? And is that the only time the framerate drops?

Can this be pre-ordered digitally via amazon?

I was not expecting to get this game until a few months from now (if not ever) but you all are starting to make me feel like I am truly going to be missing out on a gem.

I'd rather the other Nintendo Ashley.

Can't wait, this and Wolfenstein 2 were the most interesting game of E3. Really glad to see it got depth.
I'm seriously drawing a blank on the other Ashley

Glowing impressions. Ah wth... I'm just gonna pre-order. My backlog can wait 😅
Not finished world 1 yet but I'm really enjoying this. Beautiful graphics, really nice music both original and Mario remixes, exploration is simple but satisfying with plenty of optional areas, tons of fan service, very enjoyable battle system which continues to escalate in complexity, everything is polished to a sheen. Even briefly got overconfident in one battle and nearly lost a team member.
There's an optional easy mode you can activate which gives me confidence that the challenge will ramp up nicely later on normal difficulty. I'd say this is a lock for at least a high 80s Metacritic.

I wonder if there's a day 1 patch for the game
these previews sound great though, I was taking a wait and see approach and might have to just pick this up

Next Thursday can't come soon enough. Never thought I'd be upset about having to wait a few days after release for a game featuring Rabbids but this is apparently the world we live in now. Been a long time since I've played this type of game, and that combined with the ridiculousness of the world seems just plain great.
Got mine early also, wasn't expecting it till Tuesday. Nice little surprise for today
*blah blah AWARD blah blah* on the cover. Why are they doing this, WHHHHHHY????

It's a sticker (at least in Europe), you can literally take it off
Embargo until Monday 2PM CEST.
Marketing, obviously. It's a sticker anyway so just peel it off.
UK people don't know Mario, only Knack.
