What's the appeal of paper mario again?

Fun?

RPG-lite with timed button prompts for people who don't like turn-based battles.
Not a lot of RPGs are like that. Shadow Hearts and Legend of Dragoon do come to mind, though.
I'd say Legend of Dragoon was better than Paper Mario 1 at the time but it has aged like milk in comparison.
Shadow Hearts was fun but way too edgy so TTYD beats it in presentation.
I'm sure there's other RPGs that do what Mario does, but the pickings are slim. The only other example I can think of is FFX makes you do button prompts for big moves. That's not really the same because those other games have you doing times presses for every action in every battle.
Hell, in Shadow Hearts you can't even buy shit at the store without doing the timed prompts.

DUDE
PAPER
LMAO

paper jokes

Lmao this would fit perfectly to Zig Forumsirgins if you changed it into:

Oh I get it he's paper. I always begin my conversation by pointing out that I'm covered in skin.
>I really like the warmth of fire, even though I'm covered I skin

HAHA I GET IT
HE'S MADE OUT OF PAPER
AND PAPER GETS SOAKED WHEN WATER COMES INTO CONTACT WITH IT

haha i get it mario turns into a paper airplane and a paper boat cause its paper mario LOL

Remember when Paper Mario could touch paper water and it was just treated as a guy touching fucking water?

>this is clearly stylized paper water
>later in this same game there's regular ass realistic water

Doesn't that invalidate the whole joke this toad is making?

LOL

i don't even feel like engaging in petty little bitchfights over this series anymore, i'm just becoming completely numb to it.
i don't feel this completely apathetic towards any other series, like i'll still jump into a fallout thread to piss myself into a rage over the new games, but for some reason i've just been stricken with a complete disdain over talking about the fucking thing anymore. it just feels slightly more pointless than aimlessly bitching over any other subject on this cesspool.

Anyone else actually playing the game? I just got through the Colored Pencils and man, this shit exceeded my expectations. I’m looking for any excuse I get to hate it but I can’t. The battle system is decent, the music is great, level design is really cool and there are some jokes that make me chuckle.

That's not anywhere near as clever, you barely-sapient retard

the original joke isn't clever at all.

that sucks i hope you can enjoy being angry again soon

>potentially decent/goofy writing is wasted on a game with no substantial core mechanics
Why the fuck should I even be arsed to care

This
Seeing the insanely aggressive counter fans who seem to love the nu games and hate the old ones just feels surreal to me. I feel like I'm being gas lighted, and I played both SS and CS and genuinely felt like they were some of the worst games I'd ever spent money on, and thats saying a lot from someone who enjoyed Super Paper as well
I just don't care anymore
This series is fucking dead

Except those actually let you explore the world. They had an in-game function.
These are just "lmao paper" jokes that any grade-school kid could come up with.

The idea that you could take a paper peach and wipe your ass with her against her will.

lolsorandumb humor from my experience so far with The Origami King

>Imagine being this passionate and angry over baby's first RPG becoming baby's first puzzle game

>imagine playing video games

Yes, ignore the contrarian part. It's not like there have been entire comics written that ONLY portray that one part of the joke!

Complaining about jokes that include the word "paper" in them is like complaining that you can murder someone in GTA even after 5 games.

I would be okay with it if Nintendo didn;t treat the old games as some failed experiment. An experiment which if counting RPG lasted 8 games, three seperate series and countless kudos. And what's the "cost" of acknowledging the old style? One japanese man gets his fee fees hurt because he saw starlow porn? Some retard casuals being put off by the numbers (Single fucking numbers I may add, you hardly break above 10)

I just don't fucking know anymore.

>tfw I can't even tell whos shit posting or if people are actually so dumb that they don't understand why nuPM is bad anymore
Why are we made to suffer

don't let low-efffort contrarians who pretend to be retarded for kicks affect your life in any way. in a week they'll get bored.

go play a real RPG

i don't get it

True enough, But its almost hilarious to the extent Nintendo keeps this franchise going.

The sheer fucking retardation boggles my mind, in a way Ive almost warmed up to it. Sort of like the biggest "fuck you" to fans in history that somehow changed the narrative.

Either way, pretty funny stuff.

I'm just glad that we finally have closure. That interview where they said that it is no longer possible for them to make original characters like they used to at the very least confirmed that the series won't go back to what it'll be so there's no reason to give a shit about it anymore.

Why do you care about Goombas with hats so much?

Is any other series going to enter this rut? Zelda seems pretty safe but Star Fox seems fucked and Metroid could go both ways.

The interview also mentioned that they were told not to return to older gameplay styles (likely because of Mario and Luigi) and still plan not to go back to RPGs so its a bit more than that.
It just reminds me a lot of the direction Sonic went. (Just like Sonic, it retained the good music and visuals despite the shit gameplay)

watched the first chapter get played on twitch. probably gonna buy it, looks fun

His “material” is just Paper, he’s saying “Paper paper paper” not only because the newer PM entries mostly talk about how papery everything is, but also because he is holding a piece of paper and he’s saying what he’s holding, which is what stand up comedians often do. It’s a multi-layered joke.

fuck i miss chubby hammer bros

im up to world 5 and seem to be liking it way more than most people
its nothing great but i think its like a fun solid 7.5 on its own

Dry Bones is an improvement

It's in this game too
But you'd have to play it to know

Top Kek

Worth it imo. A step in the right direction.

To be fair most of the Paper Mario designs were just taken from Yoshi's Island anyways.

Realistic water is used to attacks and such, seems to cause actual damage

jokes should be simpler, too complex and they just aren't funny

ha paper ha mario ha

I'm in this same exact boat. I open these threads and just poker face from start to finish. I practically consider it a different series almost like SMT and Persona and I've just decided that maybe it's just not for me and it's a series I can completely ignore and tab out any time they announce a new entry in a direct.

I come in mostly just to get "neat" info and see any cool references or cameos in the game.

sorry you're a idiot user

It definitely has its merits, and some ideas here should carry on to future games, but the battling sucks anus

>paper mario origami king nsfw is trending on Google
What a world we live in.
