I will buy this game.
The copy is arriving tomorrow while being at work.
God damn, its gonna be a long day...
Played it for about 2 hours now and I love it. Alomost like the X-Com lite I always wanted. And the small deatails are great like flowers in the background moving to the music etc.
I hate Ubi games, I hate the rabbits - but this is a good game
Bring your Switch with you
Perhaps @ lunch time you may try it out?
Looks pretty cool. I wish the rabbids weren't in it though, I'd be way more hyped without them.
I think we might be in the minority but I too am not found of the rabbids. I still want to try the game though after learning it's very xcom.
Ah shit I don't know if I want it now.Game of the Year
Nice OT, but "Ubisort Paris" !
Just finished sonic mania, perfect timing.

Speaking about a way to bypass eShop regional restrictions to get the game early is frowned upon ?

The creative director, Davide Soliani (the one who famously cried tears of joy when his idol Miyamoto honored him at the E3 presser), is a huge fan of XCOM and other tactics games. He had ideas for a tactics game featuring Mario and Rabbids, and this appealed to Miyamoto when he pitched it since Miyamoto's one rule was "Don't make a jump game." He wanted something Mario hasn't done before. So it was a perfect combination of factors. Soliani got to make a game with the brand that got him into videogames (Mario) as well as a game in one of his favorite genres (XCOM-style tactics), and with the creative liberties afforded by the Rabbids. Dream come true for the guy.I'm less surprised by the Rabbids + Mario team-up these days but have been getting more and more intrigued by the choice to go for an XCOM style combat system when combining these two series that both don't have any ties to tactical combat. Did the devs ever comment on this choice? Was there any history with similar games within the team perhaps?
Having just completed XCOM: Enemy Within and having just started playing XCOM 2, I am definitely more interested in this game because of the combat, even despite the Rabbids I have to admit.
