If only that were true. That's another sub-par Mario game on the same system. |
It should sell over a million.

lol you are correct. The game is bad and sells likely wont be too good either.
I want to burn club Nintendo to the ground.

I don't believe there is a single ideal way. That's kind of like saying there is an ideal way to have fun. It varies completely depending on the person. I grew up as a book-worm, well-defined storytelling and characters are extremely important to me. Personally, I'll usually take a game with a great story and/or characters and average game-play over a game with great gameplay but with a shallow, meaningless story. This might sound crazy, but I much prefer a game without characters, like a pong type, over a game with flat characters. Flat characters and a throw-away plot absolutely kill my desire to finish a game. I've owned three Mario games and haven't finished a single one--keep in mind that those were NES/SNES games, when I was solidly a Nintendo fan.
Different structures resonate with different people, it's as simple as that. Shallow platformers made me drift away from gaming with the SNES but RPGs brought me back. The last two generations have definitely been my favorite, though the Atari skill-based gaming period without characters/story is a close second.

I like it. I like to bash and criticise it so much so that people will just skip over a perfectly fine game.
Imagine the sadness when they found out what they've been missing out 10 years from now when they finally get to play it.
This is good news and bad news. The good news is that nintendo actually does listen to us when we want something!
The bad news is that they chose the wrong kind of game and the wrong kind of criticism -.-
Why did he base what people liked by SPM when Sticker star is closer to being like Thousand year door?
Why must they change the game what is wrong with making a proper paper mario 3? Thousand year door was awesome. I still play it from time to time

No, as should be clear from the context, I said he's among the 1% of people who cares about the story in Paper Mario.
And yes, I think that stories in games are used as crutches by people incapable of designing a good game because they lack the creative ability to do so. The same goes for graphics by the way. Please be advised that I use the term 'game' for what it is, the actual rules that define the game experience. Anything else is fluff and presentation. By this metric most RPGs are the same game with some changes to the names and visuals.
Some people love to see the art of storytelling merged with the art of game making. I don't care for it myself, but that doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.

I don't think Soriku realized who he's messing with XD

It's not terrible, and the mechanics take a while to really click, but it is probably the weakest of the three so far (end of World 3...and have been for over a week).

(Check all that apply) Tucked somewhere in the choices is the option for "story". I tend to just choose one or type in "Fan of the franchise" and keep moving. |
Crap... I do that all the time too!
