Please do not pretend your opinion about Color Splash is a fact just because you played TTYD. I played all of the Paper Mario games, but Color Splash was such a piece of trash that I stopped playing after 10-15h. Yes the presentation is good, the graphics are gorgeous and the music isn't bad, but all of those things don't make a game good. Gameplay is what makes a game good. My problems with CS: - Battles have no point. You waste paint and good cards on weak enemies and gain worse cards back - Battles are slow due to the many steps required for only one attack even with advanced settings on - Hammer upgrades are useless as you can get paint anywhere in the game (somebody at GameXplain easily finished the game without any hammer upgrades) - Story is boring and predictable and has a big plothole: Bowser throws the Stars away while he needs them for the final battle - ToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToadsToads - Boss battles require no skills: only guessing which card to use at the right time. Because of this they are either extremely easy (if you know what card to use) or impossible (if you don't know which card to use) - Puzzles lack patterns. You randomly need to notice rectangular shapes to use cards. Sometimes they work and sometimes not, which doesn't make any sense. Scissor mechanic is dependent on distance and perspective, while some puzzles logically can be solved from multiple perspectives - A severe lack of variety in enemy design. They even use Shy Guys and Koopa's as good AND bad guys! This caused me to jump on good guys and trying to talk with bad guys. Emberassing! - Reason for me to stop playing: the stupid quiz minigame requires you to have the right card in your deck. So even if you know the answer, you can't answer it right. Like this: ''The answer is B!'' - ''Do you have a B-button on your table?'' - ''No'' - ''Then your answer is wrong YOU GET NOTHING!''. I even missed a card when buying from the Shy Guy (which I thought was a bad guy at first).
The first 3 Paper Mario's did everything better than the last two. The sales and reviews prove this. You can't call me a troll for having so many legitimate issues with the downgraded Paper Mario's. |
Thanks for this example of why the "you haven't played the game!" defense is stupid. You've listed some of my criticisms, proving that no, the game wont magically change after playing it, it'll be the same game from previews/hands-on/trailers/etc., thus all my problems with it will remain.
