      I like how Bowser's actions are genuinely socially unacceptable and we can find it off-putting as heck, but then as soon as his plans are over, we still love the guy and pat him on the back as consolation for being rejected. I mean, he's a cartoon character so who cares, but its food for thought. I wonder if its okay to portray a character with such beliefs in a positive way, if its okay that the rest of the characters tolerate him and still invite him to the parties and whatnot. Like the thing that gets me is that its fine because its Bowser, but would it be okay if it were some other less likeable character? Shrugg.

      She gets kidnapped to visit her kids. Then they think of some off the wall plan so she has time to spend time with them by the time Mario arrives. Then Mario takes her home and gives him a cake or a kiss on the nose because she's loyal to Bowser but doesn't wanna break Mario's heart or lose the respect of her kingdom.

      You do remember that Yahtzee's a game critic, and since a critic is a person who expresses an unfavorable opinion of something and who judges the merits of literary, artistic, or musical works, he's doing his reviews properly. The job of a critic is usually to point out all the negatives, not the positives.

    It's been stated that a recurring theme in some of the levels is extreme contrast. For example:
    - Metro Kingdom's New Donk City is a large, realistic city, contrasting with the cartoony Mario and Pauline.
    - The Sand Kingdom is a desert, but in-game it suddenly gets covered with a bunch of ice.
    - The Wooded Kingdom looks like a forest that has managed to grow over a nearby military factory. In addition, all of the citizens there are living watering can robots with sections made of wood.

    The people claiming Mario and Jumpman are different people are WRONG, Odyssey confirms they’re the same person - not only do the citizens cheekily tell Mario to “Jump, man” (which in itself isn’t conclusive evidence), the festival celebrates the city’s founding, which they all claim involved Mario (and the festival literally is a remixed version of the original Donkey Kong, culminating with the 25m level). So yes, Mario and Jumpman have been confirmed as the same now IN GAME, which is as canonical as it gets.
    Also you find out it’s the same Pauline in the game itself (not postgame) if you stay in NDC after the festival and talk to her to take her quiz.
    Side note: it’s super weird that Mario and Pauline don’t outright acknowledge each other. Like, they don’t even greet each other, their interactions seem to imply they recognize each other and yet they also act like strangers, it’s a weird blend of familiarity and strangeness... I mean, assuming they broke up and now he’s going around the world to rescue another woman, I guess maybe it’s just a case of awkward ex interactions. “Thanks for... um... saving my city...” “Don’ta mention it.. so...” “Yeah...” “...you are a mayor now?” “Yeah... yeah... How’s the plumbing?” “Oh I’ma not a plumber anymore...” “Oh... so... what do you do...?” “Well... I mean... I’ma with a princess... they usually pay me enough when I have to rescue her once a month...” “Ah yeah... the princess... she seems... nice... wait, once a month?” “Yeah... Bowser always is cooking something up-a... like last Saturday when we were playing golf-“ “You play golf with your girlfriend’s kidnapper?!?” “Well you named your city after your kidnapper!” “...whatever, let’s just keep this professional. You help my city with a few needs, we give you a few moons, then you can get back in your hat blimp and go rescue your new piece of arm candy, okay?” “Fine!” “Fine!!” “...anyways, wanna take this quiz about... my hobbies... and stuff..? I’ve gotten a lot of new interests...” “Why would I want to-“ “I’ll give you a moon.” “Okay.”

      Oh, so because it's Mario and Yahtzee enjoyed it that means it's the best game of its year? Never mind the fact that Yahtzee chose not to put it on his top 5 list that year at all in favor of A Hat in Time, no, A Hat in Time is an indie kickstarted game and not a recognized franchise, therefore it's not as good as an official Mario gammon-soiree. Maybe broaden your horizons a little and realize that just because something belongs to a well-established franchise doesn't automatically make it better than anything else.

    I get the feeling that tacking on the Mario world theme pattern to every game undermines it a bit. We definitely have said grasslands deserts forests and jungles, but each one has a complimentary theme. and Each world can stand out on its own, unlike New Super Mario Bros 1 2 Wii and U, that always recycle assets and color palettes. And to be frank. I think grasslands is a very poor representation of any world. If it's a large space and has grass. it might as well be called grasslands. And the only Fire world in the game is either also the Food kingdom, or a small segment of the moon kingdom.

    Actually there is a way to differentiate main series Mario games from the Mario spinoff titles. All the main series Mario games start with “Super”: Super Mario Bros, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Odyssey, etc. Save for Super Paper Mario, all the spinoff titles don’t start with Super: Mario + Rabbids, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, Paper Mario, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, etc.
    In conclusion, when referring to the main series games, say “A new Super Mario game’s came out!” (Like calling it Legend of Zelda and not Zelda), and when referring to the many spinoffs of Mario, just say “A new Mario game’s came out!”

      Proline Welding Ltd. Not Donkey Kong, or the old Mario Bros, seeing as it was more of an arcade game of jumping over barrels and killing turtles, but when the game went from arcade classic to home classic with Super Mario Bros where it became a side scroller, that’s when it adopted the monicker “Super Mario”.

      Yeah but it's still a main game, without it, no super would have been. The Super Mario game was the initial spin off given its totally different style. The precursor is still a part of it.

    What exactly is the "fire world" of the game, if the Luncheon Kingdom is instantly tagged as "a wild card"? For that matter: What the fuck is the "grass land"?

    I have to say, I disagree with your "grasslands desert forest ice world fire world boss" bit. Unlike, say, New Super Mario Bros, very few kingdoms in Odyssey simply use a "vanilla" terrain as their theme. The forest world has this interesting fusion between industrial metal and lush vegetation, the desert world has a Day-of-the-Dead flair to it and is frozen when you first find it, and the snow world has a bizarre obsession with racing. I also don't know why you dismissed the "wildcard" worlds, which are quite creative!

      grimmSOL I fully agree with you there. I feel like most of the Mario series has slowly declined from Galaxy in my opinion. I simply just don't have as much fun with Mario games. They seem a little lifeless after a while, but that's just me. I think a lot of gaming in general has followed suit. This video explains some problems I have with the game (mostly on the overall tone).

  • @Traveler_of_the_Stars
    @Traveler_of_the_Stars 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Regarding some of your points in the video, (and this isn't complaining FYI) the point of the game's environments were supposed to be weird and, consequently, not keep one visual tone; that's why New Donk City visuals are realistic, to clash with Mario. The developers strived to do that. Also, it's referenced *several* times on how Pauline is literally the exact same Pauline from Donkey Kong. I mean geez, have you taken a look at the decor of the city? It's arcade DK stuff. (I don't know how you could've missed that...) And I think lumping Super Mario Odyssey's worlds with the stereotypical Mario worlds is doing Odyssey a great disservice. I mean, the game has been getting perfect scores across the board due to its creativity, (similar to how Galaxy was praised) So it must be doing something right. All in all, I feel comparing it to games with lack of creativity is off-putting and trying to look for complaints. Complaining about motion controls is a logical complaint, the ones above, aren't frankly. With all this said, I'm not saying Yahtzee has to suck this game off, but some of his complaints were not very thought out.
    (I'm a big fan of Yahtzee btw, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't being held to a quality review standard
    I know he usually has.)

    • @KoboldCommando
      @KoboldCommando 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, the problem isn't that he criticizes the game, or that his "journalistic integrity" is off, it's just that he's not as entertaining when he picks half-assed complaints that don't actually pan out, especially when there are properly scathing ones sitting right there. In this case it really feels like he wrote down the "oh it's another mario" list beforehand and then crammed the script into that even where it didn't fit.
      To trot out the deadest of beaten horses, it's like his Monster Hunter review when he harped on getting himself stuck on the tutorial, despite there being a lot of really great and funny things to criticize about that game that the fanboys themselves regularly point out!
