Ruki Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 The Vanguard class is just so good. It's mad level ability + tank stats have gotten me through the last two boss fights. You need two healers at times too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Mom Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 I've been trying Mario 64 and just can't get into it because of the sucky camera. Is it like that on the other 2 games too? I think I might get rid of it if that's the case because I just can't navigate this messy stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion the Galaxy series are the best 3D Mario games. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Galaxy is excellent, but Odyssey surpassed it for me. I think getting rid of the lives system was a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Mom Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 So maybe I'll just skip 64 and move on to the other 2 games 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not actually prefer the open world approach in Odyssey. I love the Galaxy/3D World approach where they have a small world that I explore in a time limit and everything is so curated and immaculate. I think to some of the worlds in Odyssey and think some of them are not as interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruki Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Just started chapter 2, and it's already obvious who Adelle's sister is. Really liking the class system though! I had Gloria as a white/black mage the whole game, but now I have her as a berserker... the ability to healing HP/MP on physical strikes (which she gained from Black/White mage) is great. I am training Gloria in White Mage to do the same. I want to like the thief and gambler class, but the steal rates are really low and the gambler, it costs money (which I accidentally spent all mine) for a lot of the skills + you might not get JP at the end of battle (which sucks, because I want the level 10 ability to get rare items).

I was wondering what the benefit of mastering a class was. Does the class need to be equipped to get these rare items? And when do said rare items come into play? (I already mastered Black Mage with Elvis) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I already mastered Black Mage with Elvis) The rare item drops actually come from the gambler ability, where there's like a 10% chance of them dropping I think? But the point to mastering a class, you get a second passive ability with them. I have Elvis mastered Black Mage (prevents all attack spells from being nullified or absorbed, but doesn't stop damage debuff or reflect.), Gloria mastered White Mage (all healing spells benefit all party members), and Adelle has mastered Vanguard physical attack power and crit chance are raised based on how likely the user is to be targeted). I've not mastered any classes on Seth yet, but got him high on Freelancer, Monk, and Beastmaster. I'm thinking of going back to freelancer, just to get the second JP up ability. But the class is just so boring and meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruki Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 The boat system is great. I come back to my game and am able to level Elvis' freelancer from 1-5 with the JP orbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Galaxy has the finest levels of the 3D Marios. 64 is definitely dated, I loved it at the time but it suffers from some problems that by the time Galaxy came around got corrected. Odyssey is a blast and so much fun to return to from time time just to collect more. But it does suffer from some camera problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Galaxy is a fantastic game. I just really really wish Nintendo included Galaxy 2 in 3D All Stars. I bought the game anyway, but dammit that's the one I wanted the most! I already own Sunshine 3 times at this point as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 It's mad to think that 3D All-Stars will no longer be sold in just over three weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skummy Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 I think Galaxy 2 is probably the greatest 3D platformer ever made, just an absolute masterpiece of level design married perfectly with controls and gameplay mechanics. Everything that Mario titles are great for, but just done to perfection. My simple test of if a game is well made or not is if, when you're doing badly, you blame yourself or the game. If you're blaming the game - the camera's in the wrong place, the controls are too clunky or unresponsive, the level design is unclear, or there's something just cheap like an enemy you don't see until the last second - it's poorly made, but if every time you fuck up you know that it's on you, you know what you should be doing to achieve, and you're happy to keep going until you manage it rather than getting frustrated, then it's well made. Galaxy and Galaxy 2 nail that probably better than anything I've ever played. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
