Movement on the overworld feels awkward and I absolutely cannot stand that you use the A button to pick Luigi's command in battle but the B button to execute it. Other than that I'm enjoying it

After the first few islands Im liking it but I hate the changes to Luigi. Its so annoying they still let you use B to make him jump but it literally doesnt matter because hes basically just an AI partner now

game is also way too wordy

when it gets out of its own way its great and Im glad they brought back original characters

it looks beautiful but the performance is kind of unacceptable from a first party game

Games at the end of a console's life are supposed to be peak performance, this is kinda ridiculous of nintendo to be honest...

I'm kinda desperate for rpgs since switch hasn't had a single good one in its 8 year lifespan so I think I'm gonna get this game anyway based on goodwill from the original trilogy. But I'll wait until it's on sale like I did bayonetta origins.

It honestly feels like since the Switch 2's gonna be backwards compatible that Nintendo's just saying "fuck it, the games will run better on the next console anyway" with how the performance is handled for these games lately.

I've been playing it since launch.

There are a few things that annoy me, like Luigi's action selections being mapped to A instead of B, and the game takes *forever* to kick off. I'm like 4 hours in and finally fought the first boss, and you still don't have Bros Attacks until after that fight. Everything gets introduced to you very slowly.

Overall though, it is starting to pick up. Music isn't nearly as good now that Yoko Shimomura isn't on board, but some of it is alright. The game also has side quests which is a first for this series I think. Overall though I'm having a good time, and I don't think I'll regret buying it.

Yeah that's an odd one. I can see not counting old games via ports and remakes but I guess he doesn't like Xenoblade at all.

The timing for button presses, as well as counter attack jumps, is way too lenient imo. Theres almost no challenge in battle because the window is so wide

there are times where you clearly dont even land on the enemy in a counter attack jump and it still works

Keep playing. The game's start is meh, but after the first boss it starts opening up pretty rapidly. I finally feel like I'm playing a proper M&L game, with a Bros Attack and two field abilities unlocked.

Oh... oh no. I was actually willing to excuse almost everything else in this topic but this is approaching deal breaker territory; this is supposed to be a cartridge game not a ps1 cd plagued with load times.

Reviews I've been reading and videos of game play are making me sit this one out. What they did to my boy Luigi is unacceptable.

I finally got started on this a couple hours ago and just finished the tutorial island (don't worry, it isn't actually that long, I just like to talk to every NPC and explore). I've messed up in combat a couple times already because muscle memory makes me want to use B for every action during Luigi's turn, but I'll get used to it eventually. There does seem to be a slight delay from pressing a button to jump to actually jumping and I'm still getting used to that as well.

From what I've played, it's still a fun M&L experience and I look forward to playing more after I've had something to eat.

This is currently my biggest annoyance. I like the game, but battles are very annoying as a result

Are you guys playing digital or physical with the loading issues? I am digital and it's been pretty snappy for me but maybe I just haven't noticed.

Ok so I want to preface this with I do like this game because this is going to be another complaint

Im currently waiting ~5 minutes for the ship to travel around the currents to the next area because I have everything cleared from all the available levels and have literally nothing else to do

the sea concept is cool but the execution could definitely be better. There could at least be more secrets to find or something idk

After the fourth island you can speed the ship up. And it's *fast*.

somebody please tell me enemy variety gets better

I'm at the fourth area, and the only enemy is the seedle, the same basic enemy that appeared in the first level of the game, now with a blue variant that heals

every single battle is just three green seedles and one or two blue seedles

It's noticeable for sure compared to the other games. It's just being covered up with the flashiest. Battle transitions take a BIT longer than they should.

I repeat, those who are disappointed with the game, just keep playing. It keeps getting better. Also don't ignore side quests, some of them have character backstories locked behind them which is honestly really cool. And a few of them have good gear too.

Boss fights are becoming more common too. It takes forever to get to the first one, but then you get a pretty decent flow of them.

I got up to go to the bathroom and noticed if you idle in battle it starts doing Pokemon Stadium style camera pans if you idle long enough.
