People are upset about Paper Mario because it shows that Nintendo didn't learn from Sticker Star that people don't want that style of gameplay. 

I guess we`ll find out from the sales. My guess is that the angry people will be the first ones in line to buy it...

Gotta buy it to confirm that it sucks? And then might as well keep it and play all the way through and I guess it wasn't that bad after all.

I kind of did that with Metroid Other M, except at the end I looked back and went "that was kind of still really bad."
