I go back and replay them every few years. Origami King was good, but I don’t feel it quite has the replayability of the first two. Link to comment

Shadow118 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Well, i fixed up that Nether Portal... And got an extremely shitty nether spawn Pretty much lost what i had after being knocked into lava - only major losses was a almost broken Diamond pickaxe and my Enchanted Bow with Infinity i fished up... at least i didn't have Diamond armor equipped Need more Diamonds in general - not sure how strip mining works with the updated caves... not sure if it's the same or different Why of all things did i have to get a Soulsand biome with a bunch of Skeleton spawns? Would've preferred one of the forest biomes One of them must've had an enchanted bow with Punch or something with knockback Should've put those two in a chest Well, guess you win some, lose some i suppose Edit: Wait. I also had Obsisdian on me Well, that's going to be annoying to get again Edited June 19, 2022 by Shadow118 Link to comment

April Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 paper mario's easy to run through but i love soaking up everything when i do replay it, all the NPCs, all the shit goombario talks about, all of that, so i usually go through it very slowly. i am incredibly biased though Spring and Kodiack 2 Link to comment

I think my big problem with TTYD is that on repeat playthroughs the linearity and scale of the game become really noticeable. Still a marvelous little game, but the game is reliant on setpieces to hide the fact that the levels are small-ish corridors with a ton of backtracking. TOK manages to be better than both PM's scale and TTYD's clever writing and setpieces, it's really only the combat system holding it back but "holding it back" is a pretty hyperbolic term because the combat's still a lot of fun.

Tyranogre Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I think Chuggaaconroy said it best: Modern Paper Mario is great at everything except being an RPG, but is still forced to try to be an RPG anyway. Sticker Star wants to be a progression-based Metroidvania, and Origami King wants to be a puzzle game, but because they’re Paper Mario games, they’re required to have RPG mechanics, even though said mechanics don’t mesh well with the rest of the game. The reason why Super is still compared favorably to the first two games is that the forced RPG mechanics don’t clash too hard with what the rest of the game wants to be: a straightforward platformer.

bel Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I feel like origami king's "rpg" mechanics work pretty well, they're just really weird and unique lol. Instead of rewarding exp the battles reward coins which get you better gear and more stuff. And then it's not like the mechanics are dumbed down, the battles and bosses are the most complicated and difficult in the whole series. Taking a big hit in Paper Mario 1 is taking like 7 damage, taking a big hit in Origami King is taking more damage than you even have max HP because you screwed the mechanic up. Super I actually thought the RPG mechanics were completely vestigial and the gameplay was dumbed down to the point of being pretty boring. The only reason I'd give to play that one is the story.

At least I played the first two because they were an RPG, and they’re easy to understand. I have a weird disdain or whatever to Super Paper Mario because it’s not an RPG, and it betrays the roots of what Paper Mario was. Although Sticker Star was maybe the worst out of the modern mechanics, Super Paper Mario is just another Mario platformer to me. It has maybe the best story out of the platformers… but my problem that is Paper Mario in deception. Link to comment

Super Paper Mario is an enigma of baffling design because it's a platformer that weirdly feels kinda bad to play as a fucking 2D Mario game. Link to comment

Shadow118 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 For some reason Minecraft launcher doesn’t recognize Minecraft as being bought… which is way after I migrated to a Microsoft account Which is annoying because i know i bought Java and have Bedrock Am i going to have to buy it again? At least it’s available as a bundle so I’m getting both Bedrock and Java as a bundle at least… Looks like it’s $30 so i guess it’s not extremely pricey so there’s that at least ….. Eh I’ll deal with it tomorrow at some point Spoiler Link to comment
