Thread 723694884

just beat this game, what did I think of it?

>>723694884 (OP)
you thought the boss named Cortez was the coolest thing ever and it made you want to read about how Hernan Cortez dominated the aztecs and ruined their entire civilization in like three years when Spain discovered the Americas

you loved it

>>723694950
yeah this boss fight was awesome. the cherry on top where he just lets you take the crystal shard after and is like "dude I dont even like this one" was hilarious. honestly I think keelhaul key was the best chapter easily.

>>723694884 (OP)
you thought goombella was very charming and wish more games had companions like that who you could consult at any point and get their opinion about just about every single thing in the game. You think this is an underrated feature for a game to have and really appreciated it here

it was fucking awesome and Im about to start pm64 for the first time right after, really hoping the magic continues. as long as its got the same humor and charming partners from TTYD ill be happy

>>723694884 (OP)
You will cherish it for the rest of your gaming career and yearn for a proper sequel.

>>723694884 (OP)
you really liked goombella, even more than what the previous poster said. it's unhealthy, really.

>>723695160
I did indeed think this. goombella and later ms mowz were my favorite and most useful partners for sure.

>>723694884 (OP)
You’re surprised that one of the best JRPGs you’ve played and probably will ever play is a Mario game.

>>723695173
I also recently started 64, I'm about halfway through. Having a lot of fun

>>723694950
Their civilization wasn't worth preserving, their neighbors fucking hated them and allied with the spaniards.

>>723694884 (OP)
you thought the x-naut fortress theme was the best song in the game

Im curious, what is it about sticker star thats so bad? I watched my zoomie coworker play it for about 10 minutes today on his 3ds (he always latches on to games im playing so he started sticker star after I started raving about TTYD) and it looked neat

>>723695293
youre right this was easily my favorite

damn anons you guys are hitting it out of the park

>>723695339
zero of the writing that made 64 and ttyd pleasant, very, very poorly thought out game design in terms of combat mechanics

it basically fails on every level. If you name some quality you liked about 64 or ttyd, sticker star probably doesn't have it

>>723695339
NO. FUCKING. PARTNERS

just think about that for a second. let that shit sink in. of all the other sins it has this is the real issue. who the FUCK thought removing partners was a good idea?

>>723694884 (OP)
Super Mario RPG should be played soon

>>723695223
This game is impossible to talk about on /v/

>>723694950
That does sound kinda interesting.

>>723695637
I played that one before TTYD. and it was great but surprisingly I thought TTYD was a hell of a lot better. like a big step up. idk why though they were both great. pm64 is next and then Ill probably do bowsers inside story since ive heard that ones great too (have already played SSS)

playing this the first time (recently) gave me the same warm and fuzzy "holy shit this was a masterpiece" feeling that finally playing parasite eve and vagrant story gave me

theres probably very very few rpgs left I havent played that will give me that feeling, which is sad indeed. but the good news is im playing phantasy star iv right now and so far its great. dont know if its on that level yet but we shall see.

>>723695339
Boring writing, boring world, combat is literally, ACTUALLY pointless, obtuse fucking level design, the world being a stage based format at all like we're just playing a 2D Mario game, the stickers, even should you choose to enter combat, are just a really lame system since the game isn't even difficult enough to make inventory management an actual concern. There are no partners, there is no compelling tale of adventure, there are no fun and wacky side characters along the way. The game is a fucking soulless husk. I'd equate it to a skinwalker in the way that it is this uncanny, eerie replica of something you thought you recognized. Some of the music is fine, though. The game is a 2/10 carried by some of that music, otherwise it's a fucking 1. Genuinely one of the worst games I've ever experienced in my life.

Zutt game

>liked the original

>played up to hooktail castle

should I just sell my copy? I still own the original on gamecube.

>>723696578
Heaven is a place in TTYD and it's called the Excess Express. The single best setting in a video game for me.

>>723696578
Pirate and Wrestling are best chapters. Yoshi best partner.

>>723695339
Sticker Star has some of the most obnoxious, cryptic design I've seen in any game. It feels like a game that doesn't want you to enjoy it. It's a game full of THAT PARTs.

>>723696752
Tr**n

>>723696847
Imagine not liking the train.

>>723696752
the train itself is incredibly comfy but I didnt like how much of that chapter was just walking around checking in with every npc

I guess a lot of the rest of the game/rpgs in general are like this but having some battles to mix it up helps. also I was really expecting a boss fight once you get to the musuem but it was really anticlimactic, I guess that was the point since frankly says as much before you go

>>723696721
>original: no trannies
>remake: literal trannies

>>723696882
Not enough to troon out over it.

>>723696993
I never cared about that. She was a girl when I played it as a kid, and she's a girl even now. The only difference is that the most annoying people you know are gonna latch onto her.

>>723695339
I remember a few years back I had kind of a list of reasons I hated Sticker Star after completing it and I kind of wish I'd written it down everytime I see Sticker Star pop up.
>Combat is actively discouraged because combat awards nothing but coins, but combat also consumes coins because all attacks are consumable stickers
>Discouraged from using Things because Things are also used for solving puzzles and using a Thing in combat might just leave you unable to continue until you go back and buy another copy.
>Some of the Thing puzzles feel extremely obtuse and using the Things incorrectly makes you lose them, which also discourages experimenting with them.
>Boss Battles are either a massive slog or trivialized if you use the corresponding Thing at which point it might as well have just been a puzzle instead of wasting your time. And if you brute force the fight the game lectures you about it after about how you wasted your time and there was probably a better way
>World is super boring because there are next to no NPCs with the only notable ones off the top of my head being Kersti, the Wiggler, Kamek and Bowser Jr.
>Wiggler retrieval quest was annoying
>Story is basically completely absent beyond "go save Peach", which would be fine in any game that isn't Paper Mario. Even 64, whose main story was to save Peach had plenty more going on in each zone and overarching.
>Bowser was turned from a character with a charming personality to a cardboard cutout with literally no dialogue but is still the final boss, making the final encounter boring story wise.
>Personal gripe but I thought the music was largely pretty crap, SS battle theme for example is nothing compared to 64/TTYD
I feel there was other stuff which bugged me but that's all I recall after all this time. I got it pre-owned and was excited to play a new Paper Mario portably and boy did it disappoint me.

>>723697234
>using the Things incorrectly makes you lose them
Isn't it fun you lose your Thing and have to get it back just for not understanding some obtuse bullshit puzzle? Boy howdy.

It's like when you try to use the cake in-battle, and it suddenly just disappears and Mario shrugs. Why did it not do anything and just go away, wasting my item? Well you're supposed to BLOW OUT the candles, of course! NEVER DOES THE GAME TELL YOU THIS OR EVEN HINT THAT THE MIKE DOES ANYTHING. That's the Sticker Star experience in a nutshell: zero explanation and then you wasted something important you gotta waste time to get back, and Mario does the funny shrug pose. Fuck this game.

I love this game. This and Dark Souls are probably the games I have beaten the most in my life.
It's a shame they made the remake a clunky piece of shit.

>>723694884 (OP)
TTYD is so fucking cool. Look at Bobbery man

Get out of my fucking way nerds I've got to slap down the ultimate truth.

Paper Mario >> TTYD > Nothing just sitting there bored and not even mildly horny >>> all paper mario games after TTYD

>had to talk to bob omb cheif with admiral bobbery to progress the story
>have to remember the white bob omb was in petalburg 6 chapters ago or youre fucked and have to comb through the entire game
>even if you know what to do its still a pointless slog
if it werent gamefaqs i wouldve been fucked

>>723694950
>the Americas
There's only one America. It's one large continent.

>>723698061
panama canal says otherwise

>>723698486
That's a man-made canal with a series of locks that didn't exist until the early 20th century.

>>723698553
geography is geography nigger, theyre disconnected now. get with the times chud

>>723698639
Even if that were true, one could not say that Cortez conquered "the Americas" as they were a single continent at the time.

Would you a Mimi?

>>723696776
Pirate chapter is very underrated. The initial setup where you get stranded and unable to go back to the hub is VERY nice. The ending is also a really nice spectacle with the ship fight. I fucking love it.

>>723695223
true, true

>>723696721
I had the same experience but I did finish it (I also emulated it). The remaster feels sluggish and unpleasant despite the qol features because it's forced 30fps and the text crawls really slowly for some reason. Imo the remaster doesn't add enough to justify the price, the original clears

>>723698872
its easily the best part of the game. glitz pit is overrated

>>723698831
Train was kino

>>723699768
Glitz Pit deserves the praise it gets, it's just so fucking cool. The mystery, the poisoned cake, the kidnapped fighters... So damn cool

best partner is koops. that nigga carried me in battles

>>723702460
The shell shield is very underrated

im in the star palace and these puzzles are kinda filtering me. obviously not going to give up but man..

>>723694950
That chapter is definitely the highlight of the game.
I think the train is also close but the end is pretty anti climactic

>>723695339
It's the Other M of Paper Mario. Sticker Star's gameplay is boring, at best, and the writing is nowhere near good enough to carry the experience.

Its funny that the cat ears were a censor, I had thought since it was a slot parlor they were doing a "lucky cat" theme

>>723702828
The end of the train is kinda comfy, I think it fits the vibe of the chapter. You get the climax with the boss fight but you finish the chapter by getting into the painting and finding the hidden crystal. I like it

>>723702693
>star palace
PM64?

>>723702980
The worst part is people defend TOK because it's less bad than SS

>take a shower with peach every time you get the chance
am I the only one?

>>723703161
nah the area in TTYD after you beat gloomtail. have to do 8 different puzzle rooms to unlock all the keys. Ill be smarter after some sleep

jolene owes me sex

Oh that one. Very spooky. I like it.

i'd include PiT but put it below SSS, but otherwise you're correct

Stop ruining the Internet and life you proto-woman
Y'all are spying.

I know the TTYD demake is shit but what about smrpg? is it actually good or is there a catch

>>723704028
Its fanfic shit

>>723704028
It's good! the biggest losses are the de-woolseyfied translation and the characters don't have the playing card symbols appear before they do magic attacks anymore, but the QoL improvements make up for it.

>>723704028
theyre both decent, water jew talking bout

i hate the ttyd script changes from treehouse but besides that i liked it, they did improve on the game in quite a few ways (except 30fps fuck that shit)

>>723704028
Freemasons were heavily involved.

>>723704126
Why, what do you mean, sir?

>>723704125
The TTYD demake doesn't just butcher the script but also the visuals in some places

>>723704221
Unfortunately gayass tranny whitoids need me to apologize for them.

>>723704028
theyre both disappointing to me not because theyre objectively but because they barely add anything new and worthwhile. just the bare minimum to say theres new content. there shouldve been new playable characters or a whole new post game dungeon.

I mean seriously, you can't call the remake anything better than a sidegrade.

>>723704346
HOLLLYY SHIT IS THAT A CIRCLE WITH SOME TRIANGLES?! MARIO 64 IS A SATANIC RITUAL CONFIRMED

>>723704318
i think for the most part it does a good job. some places look noticeably worse when it comes to the lighting but on the whole i like this style for the franchise, it's a bit paper but it doesn't overdo it like the previous games did giving it a nice unique look. could do with less reflections tho

>>723704580
It's not horrible and the "clean" style can even look better in some places but I think you're losing in too many places to call it an improvement. Pic related

For me the changed colors are the worst part
