Thread 717763876

What do we think about this now that it's an old game? Anyone like it? It's got good music and charm and I imagine it would keep a child busy

tried playing it but quickly dropped it because of how boring the gameplay was

even as a kid i didn't finish it, that's how soulless and bad it was. pm64 and spm i finished

>>717763876 (OP)
It's still the worst Paper Mario game, nothing short of a cancerous release is going to really change it. Not recommended for anyone imo, if you want to give a kid one of the nu Paper Marios at least give them Origami King. TTYD remake isn't a perfect but it's also a much better choice.

I just finished the desert level which is world 2. I'm really annoyed with this game but I feel obligated to finish it because I want to try color splash and origami king, and have the perspective of what the happened with the series. I really love those first three games so playing this is fully driven by that passion. I'm hoping some of these next worlds will have something fun happening

What about color splash

>>717764657
It's basically just the same thing with slightly more intuitive mechanics and a much less horrifically obnoxious follower character (Kersti is atrocious, frankly), but it's effectively the same game in terms to narrative and gameplay flaws.

>>717764381
It never really gets good. World 3 is probably the shittiest of all of them, so at least the worst will be behind you soon.

I stubbornly completed the game on launch out of obligation and disbelief. Wasn't worth.

>>717763876 (OP)
It's shit. Bad, terrible, waste of money. Kick in my balls. Time didn't change what I think about it at all.

>>717763876 (OP)
>It's got good music
Definitely.
>and charm
Definitely not, it's the thing it's most lacking in. Color Splash is the game that fits your description since at least it has some interesting environments.

>mod that fixes the game
>will release only part 1 next year
why are mod developers like this

>>717764657
It's better in every way. Combat, exploration, story, characters. It also looks super good even now

I bought it brand new for $5 and still feel ripped off. They literally built an RPG that its detrimental to battle anything that aren't plot specific and even then you have to use the magic win sticker or else the game utterly ruins you.

Sauce?

maybe it won't be taken down if nintendo doesnt care about SS too much

No, it's soulless slop and always be that for the rest of eternity.

>>717763876 (OP)
It's great and I'm tired of redditor claming otherwise.

>>717764010
For me that game was Color Splash. It doubled down on some of Sticker Star's issues and fights in that game especially suck ass. It's the only game in the series I haven't finished but I can't bring myself to go through it.

>>717767858
you didn't miss much

>>717768131
Color Splash is Sticker Star if it was good

>>717768131
color splash looks good, too bad it's shit

>>717768798
I saw it :)

I am just desperate to play and enjoy games on wii u so I need a full dose of cope before diving into color splash

>>717767617
Nintendo doesn't care about romhacks. Fangames get shut down as soon as possible

>>717763876 (OP)
Unless the kid has never played Paper Mario it's not worth it. It's easily the worst game in the series by a considerable amount and Kersti is an asshole who insults you if you don't abuse Things to instakill bosses. Nothing about the game is redeemable.
>There is never a reason to willingly go into battles as you will always expend more stickers than you get back, and what you get back from winning said battle will always be worse than what you just used.
>The balance is so poor that stickers you get in World 5 are worse than what you get in World 4 for some reason.
>You have to constantly go back to previous levels to restock stickers for battles because the stuff you get in most worlds are either bad or weaker than what you get in others.
>Boss fights are either "Use this extremely specific Thing or you either can't do damage or use this Thing to deal damage but do like 70% of their health".
>Things are so broken it is never worth using because of how tedious it is to obtain more.
>Things are also necessary for so many puzzles but you either have to pay an obscene amount of coins to obtain a copy from the museum or run the entire level they originated from all over again to pick a copy up.

The music was probably the only really good thing about it, like most new paper mario games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lm14CQjl7E

So no one has anything good to say about this game? Not one person likes if? It got good reviews. SOMEBODY enjoys this game

>>717769816
mario bonus

>>717764041
Yeah Origami King was fine.
I managed to trade in SS quite early after getting it, so I made most of my money back. Dog shit game.

>>717769816
Maybe it would have defenders out of sheer contrarianism if it was a one-off, but it was iterated on twice with both following attempts being better so nobody has the drive to do even that.

I remember color splash came out for free a month in advance on 4chan and everyone was seemingly having a good time with that one

So does color splash have the retarded thing puzzles and tedious gameplay and backtracking or did they learn to not constantly annoy the player

>>717770112
>everyone was seemingly having a good time with that one
I was there for the original threads and I don't remember that at all. I remember people liking the story with the mooks who are chill with Mario until he has to beat them but outside of that everyone hated it still because it was still Sticker Star with broken Things and broken combat, Kersti 2.0, still no reason to fight, and a repeat of the story essentially.

>>717767617
nintendo rarely goes after romhacks unless they're being profited off of

are those from the discord?
I hope the game will be good but taking so long to release just part 1 is a bit weird unless the project started just as soon as they posted the video

>>717772256
>are those from the discord?
yes
