It's quite possibly the worst RPG I've ever played (albeit I do avoid most of the bad ones by choice. If only I could have avoided sticker star). It also doesn't matter whether they've played the previous games or not, because it's certainly the worst retail RPG on 3DS that I can think of. And not to get too anecdotal here, but I know people who've not played any of hte paper mario games before, and they hated it too (as rpg fans).

The entire battle system is absolute shi't. How no-one called them out during development on the fact that they managed to ruin an almost perfect system they had from Thousand year door is beyond me. Oh right, because miyamoto said so, the same reason they threw out all the funny characters and plot from previous games too.


There are far, far too many good games on 3DS to recommend a mediocre title like paper mario.

There goes your "perfect system".

Lozmaster Wrote:If you're implying the reason for the system being changed is to make it more balanced, you couldn't be more wrong. First, it's entirely possible to do 300 damage per turn with little effort in sticker star, with a sticker you can easily get multiple copies of (something like infinite jump), or the thing stickers that are bsically guarenteed one hit kills. Not that you had any reason to stay in fights, because you don't get any reward for doing it.

And Woopdeedoo, there were a couple of badge combinations that made mario ridiculously strong. The clear differences between that and the pomegranatety sticker system are
A) you get to choose if you do that, and
B) that doesn't actually change the battle system at all.

I actually can't think of many jrpgs where you can't horribly break the battle system in some sense to make the enemies hilariously weak compared to you.

People be quick on the routes!

案山子 Wrote:The ONLY thing people had trouble on is remembering which rooms go where. The difficulty and length of the temple itself actually makes it the easiest temple in the entire game (First 3 dungeons don't count since they're tutorials). That's why the only thing they did to make it "easier" in the 3DS remake is mark the more important rooms with different colors so you're less likely to forget.

案山子 Wrote:Honestly, in all these years I've yet to ever know/hear/see somebody use the map in ANY Zelda game whether they're good at the games or not. So my answer is, "No, they probably don't think or care to use the map".
