      Probably because when you're a dumb kid, you make millions of mistakes on the first level and become much more familiar with a game's jank. If you come into Mario 64 with platforming experience already, the game's jank will stand out much more as you don't make platforming mistakes or combat mistakes, only camera mistakes.

    Everyone expressing they thought Odyssey should reset the level more is such a bizarre wish for me because that's the type of mechanic that only works in the previous games because of how the exploration works. You *can* do things out of sequence in 64 but the game was designed so that you would go in, commit to the goal of one star while the world was configured for that star to be the goal, then leave. But Odyssey is so dense and you're meant to keep going. Having Odyssey reset on moon pick ups frequently would KILL the momentum and break the world design. Both of these options work in their own individual games but wouldn't translate to the other super well

    • @gigastrike2
      @gigastrike2 3 года назад +11

      Their idea is that there be more multi-moons and fewer regular moons. In that way it would be balanced more like Sunshine where multi-moons are shine sprites, and moons are blue coins.

    • @LordLemmysLabs
      @LordLemmysLabs 3 года назад +5

      I sort of agree and disagree. I love the idea of not being booted out of a level every single time you collect the major collectible, but the way Odyssey implemented the moons by having every level so jam packed with them in such a massive range of challenge levels definitely dampened the feeling of accomplishment and progression in the game. Which sucks, because there are plenty of moons that are just as challenging as any of the stars or shinesprites of previous titles, and some even moreso, but the impact of that accomplishment is lessened by the fact you likely collected 5 or more just getting there. I would've loved if there were more multimoons, or something similar, that actually felt different and more accomplishing compared to the the regular moons, while having less moons in general. Maybe doesn't even always have to boot you out with the multimoon, but it should have some more visible accomplishment. Maybe like a shortcut to other areas, or access to entirely new areas.
      All that said? I still think Odyssey is one of the best Mario games to date purely on the fact that moving around and traversing the levels is just so damn fun and intuitive that practically anyone can pull off some simple maneuvers that feel amazing to pull off, but the skill ceiling is so high that players are incentivised to try absurd maneuvers to get around stages in ways that even the developers may not have considered. Which is just... *chefs kiss*
      I just think Odyssey clearly has the building blocks for an even better game by refining their ideas and experiments into something even greater, a la Galaxy 1 to 2, and Nintendo would be missing a huge opportunity if they weren't actually doing anything with that.

    • @pikmints
      @pikmints 3 года назад +20

      While nostalgia would inevitably play in role in each person's list, there are a few things that time can help reveal.
      First, there's the allure that new things have. New environments, controls, characters, mechanics, can all be more awe-inspiring the first time you see them. Coming back once you're familiar with them can help you determine if they actually look good/are clever or if you just got caught up in the new shiny game.
      Next, there's replayability. Some games start very slow or have very empty areas to let the player learn the controls the first time they play, that on subsequent playthroughs just feel like an area devoid of content. Some games also give players so much control that you can blast past the early challenges if you know what you're doing, making the early game even more fun on your second playthrough. Maybe the cast here hasn't replayed the game, so they would feel like their impression would be colored by how quickly they understood what the game was demanding of them.
      Also there are game design decisions that can really change a person's view long after they've played the game. It wasn't until long after I beat Mario Sunshine when I learned what the requirements are for unlocking the final level were, and learning that the blue coins and Delfino sub areas were all useless outside of 100% completion definitely took the wind out of them, even if they were fun for my first couple playthroughs. Maybe Odyssey has some decisions that could sway peoples' opinions once someone points it out, otherwise it will successfully withstand the test of time.

    What makes Galaxy so great isn’t really just the gameplay. That’s good and all, but the environment around it is what pushes it above all others for me. The memorable worlds, the amazing music, and things like the hub world just make it so much more interesting than something like the old 2D style stage selection from galaxy 2.

    • @callinater6133
      @callinater6133 3 года назад +1

      More interesting doesn’t mean better. Galaxy 1’s hub was empty and was basically a level select with extra steps. ‘But it’s charming and atmospheric -‘ yeah yeah, I get it. But mechanically at least, 2’s is more efficient and therefore superior from a gameplay standpoint.

    The Galaxy hate is actually mind-blowing. I rented 3D All Stars from Gamefly recently after not having played any of them in years, and Galaxy was the only one that didn't have me pulling my hair out because the controls were so finicky. Also Galaxy has one of the best soundtracks in any game, by far my favorite Mario soundtrack.

    I felt that the Mario 64 bias here was a little ridiculous. As a fresh player who spent about 30 hours with it I really had to force myself to play it. Without nostalgia, I can really see how the game has aged poorly. You can't put a game at the top of a tier list based purely on its legacy and what it was during its own time. This list is weighing 3D Mario's as they can stand on their own and Super Mario 64 is sluggish in its pacing with the boot out system, it's hard to control, it doesn't look very good anymore, and there's not a whole lotta variation in gameplay when compared to most of the other games in the series. This is just my take but I'd love to see some younger takes in these videos, maybe with some up-and-comers who don't have the same rose-tinted glasses.

      @@derekrequiem4359 Super Mario Odyssey isn’t a masterpiece. It has flaws, it has pacing issues, and the difficulty to reward balancing is really weak. But it’s still a better game than 64. It experiments with Mario and intermingled ideas in very fresh ways. It looks better, controls better, and is more fun than 64. That’s not recency bias cause I played Sunshine, 64, and Galaxy 2 for the first time after Odyssey. Honestly I’m not sure which I’d rank higher between Galaxy, Galaxy 2, and Odyssey but I can say I enjoyed them all better than 64. Although I do agree with you that people have been throwing “masterpiece” around way to much with recent switch games like Odyssey and Breath of the Wild.

The lack in more sandboxy levels, Galaxy one had honeyhive, beach bowl ect. But Galaxy 2 only had 1 level that was like that. And also the lack of any kind of big hub world. Sure in the pure gameplay department it beats 1, 1 being piss easy and 2 actually having some challenge, but it just isn't as much as an experience as 1 and that's what makes me love 1 so much more.
