Mario Odyssey totally burried 3D World

And that's fine. Obviously, I'm not going to stand here and argue about our opinions because theres no point in that really. It's just that the way the OP made it sound like Odyssey was the best thing ever created and 3D world was the worst PoS ever created rubbed me the wrong way.

I just wanted to show that OP shouldn't just assume that his opinion is fact and I'm surprised mods leave this bait title and OP up. Also, from looking at threads on neogaf and reddit (reading serious posts, not people who say stuff like "I hate the game but I never played it", I am far from being the only one that finds Odyssey underwhelming and repetitive to say the least. 

As I said, Odyssey is a solid 8hour experience. 3D world and other 3D Mario games are all solid 20-25hour experiences which is the big difference here... Again my opinion after 100% Odyssey and every other 3d Mario. 

You can't 100% Odyssey in 8 hours.

My exact point. Whereas every single previous 3d Mario game were incredibly fun and still felt fresh while going for 100% and felt incredibly rewarding. Odyssey feels like an incredible grind to go for 100%. Outside of the fun but short platforming bits inside the hat doors (which if you explore a bit in your first playthrough, your going to get most of them anyways), going for 100% is tedious and not very fun. In fact, I'd argue that going for 100% exposes the games biggest flaws that you probably won't feel when completing the campaign such as the formulaic structure of each kingdom (see one of my previous post). Trust me, I'm not just criticising for the sake of criticising, I've already 100% the game lol... Completed 100% every kingdom and got every purple currency and every moons. 

That, of course, is just my opinion. Again, I feel like Mario Odyssey feels amazing for the first playthrough but then quickly falls off a cliff when you go for 100% whereas, in previous Mario games, going for 100% and completing the bonus worlds was often the most fun and rewarding part of the game!
