Galaxy 2 is definitely better than Galaxy 1, but 3D World is better than both.
Playing on spheres was no fun at all, motion controls also are really not my cup of tea, at all.
3D World was Wonder before Wonder, New Super Mario Bros. games across DS, Wii, 3DS and Wii U were by far the worst phase Mario ever had, and 3D World (and also 3D Land to an extent) finally felt like traditional Mario was finally back at being fun.
Traditional Mario is leagues above 3D Mario, and 3D World could be Traditional Mario in 3D and very good, it finally felt like Mario World had a succesor.
Plus it's about cats, that's the definite best theme it could ever get.
PS3 has a bunch of masterpieces, I mean The Last of Us, Demon's Souls, Red Dead Redemption, God of War 3, some real crazy stuff, but the bulk of the "good" games is by far the weakest from any PS console, PS4 brought it back up a lot, plus 8th was the gen indies finally shined, they started to bloom during 7th gen but they massively peaked during 8th gen, and that's a LOT of great games for an affordable price.
It's not like 7th gen is bad, but it's actually the worst 3D gen without a doubt.
IMO only 3rd gen loses to 7th gen, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th beat it no contest.
1st and 2nd gen are to far behind to even compare, so I pretend they only exist to evolve tech and game development enough until it truly got good. |
I think Mario 64 and odyssey are the best 3d Mario games. Mario 64 especially for it time and the hardware nailed it, it had exploring, great controls and platforming. Mario odyssey is great as well but it's more of Banjo-kazooie sequel and i really want a Mario 64 sequel.
As for for mario galaxy, mario just feels so floaty and sluggish. The game is basically go to a little plant do brain dead things and shoot a star to another little planet extremely linear, bad camera angles and bases most of the game on a gravity gimmick.
Those games you mentioned while great for their time i have to be honest last of us combat sucks now, god of war 3 is a button masher, and red redemption well it's rockstar they never make good combat, this has been massively improved for 8th gen. The best game of the 7th gen is arkham city for me.
