Gah, it is so tempting. The game looks fantastic but I already have an insane Switch backlog.
if your backlog is already insane what's another game to add to the pile
For what it's worth, I paid full price on launch for it and feel it was absolutely worth it. Strategy is my favourite genre though so there's a big bias there but putting aside the game mechanics, it's a charming and fun experience as well. $30 it's a steal.Gah, it is so tempting.

Have you played XCOM or XCOM 2?For what it's worth, I paid full price on launch for it and feel it was absolutely worth it. Strategy is my favourite genre though so there's a big bias there but putting aside the game mechanics, it's a charming and fun experience as well. $30 it's a steal.
Now there's a question. Have you played the XCOM2 expansion yet? That's the one to go to first, but Mario & Rabbids is real good in its own right.
Yep, about 200 hours into each. There are a lot of differences in the gameplay but I would say the 2 ones which stand out to me are the reliance on manipulating % in XCOM, whilst M+R depends on combos and being creative with your action points.

I play on PC so I just mod them out if I'm not playing Long War mod. They're not that bad, you just need to have a team that doesn't rely on a few turns of positioning on rooftops etc. And make sure a couple of guys have scanners and decoys equipped.I've been on the fence about XCOM 2 since console release, I loved the first one but I've heard so much about the timed missions which sound like the least fun thing in the world to me.

Wooded Kingdom has great music and is a lot more vertical which leads to better platforming - that might be a reason?So I was playing Mario Odyssey and the opposite of BotW just happened to me.
I wasn't disliking the game but I didn't think it was that great either. Got to the Wooded Kingdom, the game clicked and I think I'm in love. Which is strange because I don't think it's doing anything drastically new that the previous kingdoms didn't already.

I'd say it's up there with Metro Kingdom as my favourite places to jump around.

I like XCOM 2 more than 1 primarily due to the timed missions. But I enjoy the tension they bring to each turn and decision you make.
Mario + Rabbids is $30 at Walmart. Is it worth it for me to go ahead and buy it despite the fact that I probably won't get around to playing it for a couple of months? I guess the question is, because it's a Ubisoft game, I'm expecting it to fall in price later down the line as opposed to if it was a Nintendo game. Am I wrong in that line of thought?

Anyone who follows his twitter at all lnows that bobservo has an unhealthy obsession with colin. The fact that you guys are just having "normal" conversations with bob says a whole lot about how ignorant this thread is being.
Colin wasn't nice to bob. But bob obsessively searches for colin threads on a dummy twitter account because he was blocked, talks shit about him incessantly (without even having the decency to try and addresss him directly), and refused to entertain Colin's offer to make content out of their debate while donating any money made. If this is the thread for "love and respect," you guys really shouldn't be associating with that guy.
Don't take bobs act on this thread at face value. "I'm not trying to send people after him when i tweet" says a guy repeatedly taking screenshots and talking crap.
And to somehow act like it's virtuous to constantly rip a guy but NOT tag him in the conversations is absurd. It's quintessential "talking behind someone's back" and bob is trying to sell it like some kind of mature step.
You'll also notice hat bob has 5 total posts on resetera. One to promote his podcast, and then 4 In this thread to talk about colin. He joined October 28, has never posted about a a video game or favorite console, or anything like that. No evidence that he cares at all about this board. Except of course when colin gets brought it, and suddenly he's here and talkative.
Look, there are plenty of reasons to dislike colin. Don't particularly care for him myself. But bob is just as deserving (and perhaps more so) of being shunned by a community that preaches love and respect. But instead you're just believing everything he says and acting like his interactions are totally normal.
I've been on the fence about XCOM 2 since console release, I loved the first one but I've heard so much about the timed missions which sound like the least fun thing in the world to me.
The timed missions are easier to deal with on PC, since there are mods where the timers only start after concealment is lost, but War of the Chosen adds a Second Wave option to double the timers, along with a lot of performance improvements for PC.
I have more posts in this thread than the Retronauts one because I heard about the dust-up with Colin and Easy Allies and checked out this thread because I knew there would be some people in here parroting the "Bob is an obsessed murderer" garbage that Colin feeds his fanbase.
A large part of my Twitter account is dunking on dumb, toxic conservatives, and Colin happens to be one of those. I just happen to think he's more harmful than most because he preaches his zero-empathy philosophy to young, male gamers, who need to hear anything BUT that. He's a public figure making public statements on public platforms. The last time I tweeted about Colin, I did it while waiting for soup to cool (so obsessed), and there's no "dummy account" needed. You just have to right click in Chrome. He's also made dozens of bad YouTube videos. Honestly, continuing to call someone "crazy" for criticizing a public figure with influence (admittedly waning influence) is some fucked-up gaslighting that Colin definitely encourages.
And I don't @ him or contact him directly because he's an extremely fragile man, as history will show. I think the real reason I got under his skin is that in the past he could simply bully his way out of any criticism. In the past, he's used his influence to threaten people's livelihoods—Greg Miller sacrificed me to his 1.6 million followers and boy was that fun—and sends his own fanbase after critics, in the hopes that they'll eventually be pummeled into submission. But I've been through much worse stuff than whatever a shut-in libertarian could do to me online, and that makes him furious. So he goes on to attack my LinkedIn account (so classy and cool), call me mentally ill, a potential murderer, etc.
It's been incredibly clear that Colin doesn't want these "spirited and productive" debates he crows about so often. He just wants you to agree with him, and to be nice about it. We all see what happens when you don't.
Take your derailing to pm's.From bob mackeys twitter:
"he came up in another thread because he's desperately trying to work with the remaining people in the games press he hasn't alienated yet"
Colin sent a tweet to Brandon inviting him on. That's not "desperately" doing anything. So yea, bob, you can stop with the gaslighting yourself and playing the victim card.

I'd rather have the ship the showed in the background of the pre-reveal stuff be the strategy layer hub thing (like XCOM 2 does with the Avenger). I wouldn't mind going into towns and what not if it weren't for the fact that there are Famitsu screencaps of the game using the old "close in shot of a character's head overlaid on a background environment" cutscene style. If it was more like The Evil Within 2's dialogue scenes, then having towns would provide actual value.
Since I never played 2 and 3 I'm not sure but I have a hard time imagining how towns fit into it(in the more standard rpg sense). Feels like it's probably just cheaper to have different backgrounds to your base camp menus depending on where you are in the story. Would be fun though to just walk around in hub towns so if they can do it sure.
I think I'm going to pick this up after I finish Hellblade. It's another one where I just keep hearing nothing but good things.Playing Night in the Woods right now.
This game is up there alongside the best of the year. Don't sleep on it.

Has it been confirmed Ben is reviewing DB FighterZ and Monster Hunter World? They come out on the same day, so I assumed they were going to give one of those to another ally (probably DBF to either Brad or Huber)
