Anyone else enjoy classic Paper Mario AND what came after too?

Blatantly untrue, cube was the first console I owned but I’m looking forward to TOK and enjoyed all of them. It’s just a few vocal retards spamming the board

Let's be real. Color splash would have been a great game if they just removed all the RPG shit. Honestly would have preferred if it was just Super paper Mario combat in 3d space.

Paper Mario should stop trying to be an RPG if they are just gonna make shit that gives you no reason to battle.

I have PM64, TTYD and CS all in my top 100 though.

It might be the one Mario game in existence where its main flaw is its central gameplay and its biggest virtue is its writing.

I liked the first 3, skipped ss and played cs and thought that lots of things are holding it way back
>character design is bland
>gameplay is pretty pointless feeling (sort of like how pacifist Undertale is) with how little actual progression there is
>story itself wasn't too interesting
The writing has its ups, but there was just so much that brought that down for me.
I'm pretty sure cubie is bait, its just because its pretty common for people to like ttyd the most since it did the turn-based style combat the best and people like inciting (you)s

That's pretty much Super Paper Mario

I didn't play Super and when I learned that SS and CS used a card system I didn't even bother picking them up. I'm cautiously optimistic about the upcoming game but my decision to buy it will be contingent on whether or not partners & the battle system are similar to the first two.

Cubie is definitely a real type of person who blindly worships that generation though

Yeah it knows what it wants to do and does it very well.
Too bad one of those things it wanted to do was "be too fucking easy"

“Cubie” is a new meme some autist has been trying to force to devalue people’s legitimate criticisms.

No, honestly.
I love 64, TTYD, and Super, but I hate Sticker Star and Color Splash.
I think Origami King has a chance to be good in its own way, if the important stuff we haven't seen turns out to be good instead of bad. We'll have to wait for more info.

>and CS
then you're objectively a retard zoomer and your opinion has no actual knowledge behind it. The combat alone and your defense of it makes you out to be an idiot

I enjoy PM64 the most and think it would have been fine as a standalone title to never receive sequels. TTYD is pretty good but it's quite far away from a Mario game to me, which isn't a bad thing, but it makes it feel more different than you'd think. The core of PM64 is the Mario Universe & its not revolutionizing anything with its story, but it tells its story with such authenticity that it's charming, and has just enough quirks & worldbuilding to make the adventure worth every second.
I feel from there, I don't think there was that much material for a sequel without things feeling recycled, so they made TTYD which is a bit of a departure from the Mario Universe into its own, which i'm fine with.
My issue comes with the workarounds that happened with SS & CS when they went back to the Mario Universe being the core. I always felt that there's such little confidence in the developers making this that they're forced to give it some kind of value, and so, they went with humor. Humor has always been present in Paper Mario, but I don't believe it can act as a substitute to good story, worldbuilding, or simply having faith in what you're telling. Maybe my perspective is jaded or whatever, but it feels so depressing to me seeing jokes being cracked even when the stakes are supposed to be high: It feels like they gave up and this is the next best thing they can do.

The first three are some of my favorite games of all time. I wish the combat was a little more substantial in SPM but the story and unique world were enough to keep me hooked. Sticker Star on the other hand I couldn't even bring myself to finish, the combat was so god damn boring and I dont remember a thing about the story. Origami King looks good though, at least the dialogue and visuals, but i feel like they didnt show more combat because they know it'll disappoint the die hards

Nobody said cubie before the TOK trailer.

One of the funniest games I've played. Yeah the combat is a major flaw but I have no regrets whatsoever of 100%ing.

>Anyone else enjoy classic Paper Mario AND what came after too?
Sticker Star and Color Splash are bad games, so not really. Paper Jam was mediocre but enjoyable to some degree, but that's more of a Mario & Luigi spinoff. Origami King might be okay, but between Miyamoto's rule of as little originality and story as possible, Tanabe only knowing about various common enemies and multicolored Toads, and IS forcing in tedious gimmicks instead of improving the core formula, I don't have much hope for the series' future.

most of the people who like TTYD generally like 64 too and at least tolerate super, that name has no real sense to it

All the negative backlash around Color Splash's reveal trailer was what made me go and play all the Paper Mario games, only Mario RPGs I've played before then were the first few Mario & Luigi games and I was really into those but never really thought of Paper Mario
>Paper Mario 64 and TTYD: Both great games, fun to play, all the interesting characters were good and the battle system was good. TTYD had a bit too much backtracking in some areas, but it was still fun despite that
>SPM: Gameplay's not as good as the first two. The flip mechanic was fun to play around with and the story's fine, but the game was just ok at best
>Sticker Star: The entire game felt generic and the sticker battle was pretty useless, the only time you really have to fight is at a boss to progress the game, and even then you couldn't beat them without getting some specific thing sticker. No interesting side characters and the only memorable location being the Boo Mansion. Even separating it from the others as it's own thing, it's just very mediocre
>Color Splash: An improvement over SS. Better worlds, dialogue and non-battle gameplay was actually enjoyable. But for how good those are, the fact that they still continued to go with SSs terrible battle system really drags it down, but as an action-adventure game, it's ok. I also liked the papercraft look of the environment that everyone seems to hate. Game's still not on the same level as the first two, but it's ok, honestly enjoyed it a bit more than SPM
I hope they eventually being back 64 and TTYDs battle system. Origami King's looks the same as CS but with the rotation gimmick

I like the little touch that origami peach/enemies have a different text box compared to the paper characters text box and Olivia

Based user no-selling otheranon's bullshit. M&L fags want me to think Partners in Time is bad.

Think the issue is that one waits a long ass time for a new console Paper Mario and it's only one per gen, so those missing stakes are SoL until the next installment. If you had a TTYD-type of affair AND Color Splash in the same console I think folks would be much kinder to it as a pure comedy standing next to the narratively richer meal.

Not to mention SMRPG and M&LSSS, SNES and GBA games, are also beloved Mario RPGs.

Ironically Super did start as a Gamecube game

OLLIE IS CUTE

IF I CONVERT, WILL HE LET ME RUB HIS FEET

The humor is the main triumph, but the music, graphics and non-combat gameplay is also great (quite dug exploring every level to fill in the blank paint spots, the one that was a homage to SMB3 was particularly fiendish!)

Atta man, you enjoy what you want with no shame, don't see what some anons gain from trying to convince you that you're wrong for enjoying a game.
