Anacybele Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 THE RUMOR WAS TRUE THE RUMOR WAS TRUE THE RUMOR WAS TRUE I'm so happy! AND it has a theme I can dig! I love something about colors! And this reminds me of that one Powerpuff Girls episode where Townsville was getting drained of its color. This game also looks like Mario gets partners akin to the pixls from Super Paper Mario, which I like! Anyone else looking forward to this? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Naut Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'm hoping the battle system isn't too much like Sticker Star's but the preview isn't too encouraging... On the bright side, Prism Island's plaza reminds me of Rogueport's if the Thousand Year Door's pedestal was pasted back on the surface.

Sasori Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 The trailer did't do much to convince me on this Paper Mario. It looks like Sticker Star with a paint theme, instead of being the return to form I hoped for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ema Skye Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 If the battle system is anything like Sticker Star, I hope this game bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solrocknroll Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) It looks amazing. I adored Sticker Star and this looks similar yet different. It's great.

kingddd Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Absolutely disappointed in this title just from the footage in general. This is not what I like about the Paper Mario series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solrocknroll Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 this title is everything I like about Paper Mario Colorful, stylized, pretty, Mario and Peach are front and center, battles are against fun and tradition enemies, world based puzzles, and most importantly no annoying partners. It'll be the bomb if there's no Fawful/Dimentio-esque villain. I can't fathom how characters so random can even be written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 If its another sticker star then it might mean Nintendo truly is no longer interested in a real Paper Mario game anymore. That's a shame because so many people have made clear that they very much want a Paper Mario game. There is a clear market so I'm not sure why Nintendo just doesn't go for it. Well, maybe they think two Mario rpg's are to much, especially now Xenoblade and Bravely default are becoming big Nintendo rpg's. Perhaps they just want to keep one rpg and one series they can just faff around with. The paper aspect of Paper Mario unfortunately lends the series quite good for faffing around.

Anacybele Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Partners are awesome. I liked most, if not all of the partners in TTYD. And I enjoyed the pixls and playing as Luigi in SPM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEVA Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I still feel like Sticker Star gets a disproportionate amount of hate. I understand that people think it doesn't live up to the first few games in the series, but that's no reason to treat it similarly to, like, Sonic 06 or Sonic Boom or something. It's not that bad. I, for one, really liked Sticker Star and I think this new game looks gorgeous. #unpopularopinion #dontkillmeplease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Mario tried to do something special which the other Mario games didn't and if they take that away then the fans who appreciated that are left with pretty much nothing to fill that niche.

DarkDestr0yer61 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) From someone who has never played a PM game, I think the paint thing seems kind of interesting. I'm not sure what to think of the battle system. I can't say that the trailer has made me excited for the game. But maybe the trailer isn't doing it justice? I don't know.

Mario and Luigi? I disliked M&L for all the same reasons I dislike TTYD. It shares plenty in common. I'd also say that no, you can't get that from just any Mario game. IntSys has a particular writing style that shined through in humor like with Wiggler's Scrapbook or the Things Dealer Toad. The settings were super fun and followed the style that I love from Mario.

solrocknroll Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Well, I thought SPM and TTYD had great writing and humor too. Same with the M&L games. The antagonists single handedly ruined those games for me tbh. All of them are annoying and loud. They all follow the same tropes and random humor. Dimentio and Fawful especially fell into that trope. Paper Jam has Bowsers, Kameks, Juniors, and the Koopalings, so I adore it. That's the style I enjoy. Nobody beats the King after all.

Anacybele Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) What? I disagree entirely. Okay, I don't know anything of Fawful since I didn't play the game he's in. And Dimentio WAS fairly uninteresting. But Count Bleck was great. He was deep and interesting and his and Tippi's story gave me feels. I enjoyed Paper Jam. But I admit that I wish it had more of a story and different characters like TTYD and SPM and past M&L games.

Its only natural to compare it to its older brethren when it shares the name yet refuses to live up to it. There is also the fact that most of the things that made Sticker Star fail as a paper Mario were deliberate choices that showed a lack of understanding or even a lack of respect to the Paper Mario series. The thought behind it seemed to be ''Lets make a Paper Mario game but less like Paper Mario'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was pretty lame. Edited March 3, 2016 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was pretty lame. I heard they tried to make a successor to THRD but Miyamoto shot it down and gave the ''suggestions'' that would turn the game into sticker star.

kirby9612 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) I hope that Miyamoto had NO influence on this one. Hopefully there are new characters and the return of recipes in this one or I'm hanging myself tonight. Brought to you by Cobermani, I think this sums up my reaction.

SEVA Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Well, I don't think EXP ever did much. Doing the same thing through items, like Sticker Star did, is great and incentivises exploration. As for partners, this is more of a personal opinion, but I always thought they were done awkwardly. They're ok in the field, but in battle they just feel unnecessary to me. It's probably because battles are so heavily skewed in Mario's favour in terms of variety - Mario gets EXP, badges, jump and hammer attacks, star power and star power attacks. He's also the one who mainly takes damage and the one who blocks. All partners get is a few upgrades which give them one more move. In battle, partners feel a little tacked on, like "oh, we have these guys who do cool things in the field, we should probably have them do something in battle as well."
