Don't get me wrong, I thought Galaxy and 3D World were great (never played Galaxy 2 or 3D Land), but I can't tell you how happy I am that Nintendo is finally making a 3D Mario that returns to its more open ended roots after more than a decade and a half of more linear platforming, especially since SM64 is my all time favorite game. Honestly, I feel like SMO will be my personal GOTY. But hey, this is GAF, and unless you're Sony or go out of your way to include forced diversity in your games, they'll never be satisfied. And this is coming from someone who actually likes Sony.
Btw, I know it's a little off topic from my post, but I think itd be cool if maybe we had our own gaming forum. You know, a GAF alternative to just discuss games where free speech is welcome and you don't get banned for the dangerous crime of wrongthink. Or maybe another Subvoat, as I know quite a few of you prefer a Reddit like layout over a forum layout (I'm old school, so I actually like a good old message board). I don't know, is that something you guys would be interested in?

Eh, for ONCE, I agree with the gaffot. Exploration-based 3D Mario games are not as fun to me as platforming-focused ones, because the gameplay has even less in common then with the basic, original Mario gameplay from the classic early games. I like my Mario games to be fast-paced, run-and-jump affairs like 3D World. So Odyssey being like 64 is a bit of a letdown for me.
