Miyamoto shouldn't be allowed to make any big decisions after the disaster that was Wii Music.

****ing STICKER COMBAT AGAIN and it's NOT EVEN OPEN WORLD?

WHO IS ASKING FOR THIS ****? Return to the JRPG roots and use ACTUAL COMBAT and SUBSTANCE and PLOT and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, NOT THESE ****ING GIMMICKS.

****ing TELL THEM

UGH

[Brodie]

Has there been an unreported mass exodus of smart people from the company?

[Moonchild]

Basically what's happened to the series as a whole:

[Moonchild]

And them calling Paper Mario an "action adventure" game. If Nintendo is going to treat the series like this, I'd rather they let it die in peace.

[SebaMonster]

It might still have a good storyline, we haven't seen much from the game.

I'd like to hope so, but given that almost everything else seems recycled from Sticker Star but prettier, I wouldn't count on it.

Based on that map they showed, it seems like there are going to be different types of areas, not just a grass world like in Sticker Star.

But we'll see, lol.

Why is grass/desert/water/snow/forest/cloud/lava the best they can come up with after the previous games? The first game was set in Mushroom Kingdom, but it still managed to put a lot of twists on the settings. Then, you have Rogueport, Boggly Woods, Glitzville, Twilight Town, Keelhaul Key, the Excess Express, the X-Naut fortress, Flipside, Flopside, Merlee's Mansion, Francis' Castle, Crag, Sammer's Kingdom, the Underwhere, the Overthere and Castle Bleck.

Like, where has the creativity gone?

[Goaty]

the lame thing is that if this game bombs (which I hope it will; let your wallets do the talking, girls!) I bet you anything their reaction won't be "oh, maybe this isn't what they wanted..." but rather "well this franchise isn't making any money, let's shelve it"

And if it somehow does do well, they'll be like "oh, everyone loves this direction we're going. Let's continue!"

We're screwed either way

[Goaty]

And I'm skimming through the Iwata Asks of Sticker Star and biblio-ing so hard at some of their justifications for the creative direction

Saying there's no need for a story so they just "made an objective to get to the final boss" please tell me this was a tragic mistranslation

Actually though. There used to be characters. The games used to have personality. Random **** like the play areas, the Lil Oinks, the pits of 100 trials and crap are gone. We're left with nameless, useless toads and no story. Super Paper Mario's story was incredible. Sticker Star literally had no story. I'm so tired of Nintendo just being lazy and knowing people will buy their stuff so they don't have to try. Sticker Star is literally so generic. There is no creativity to the game at all The humour is gone, the partners are inexplicably gone, and the fighting style is stupid. Plus, open world was always how the series should have gone. It makes for a better experience. I'm literally so angry still

!! Why couldn't they just have made Sticker Star + whatever the **** this disaster is called a different spinoff or something. Make it Mario Generic: Sticker Star! or something.

[Goaty]

^ omg, speaking of the SPM story, in the Iwata Asks the devs are like, "so we polled a bunch of members from Club Nintendo and less than 1% found the story of Super Paper Mario interesting. So we decided a story isn't important for Sticker Star"

[Moonchild]

Not when the SPM story was the best and most original of the series.

[Kanji]

I'm still getting my life over that Paper Mario travesty

Poor Paper stans

[Subomie]

We'll always have ttyd girls

[Flame]

omfg and did you guys SEE that ****ing PAINT CAN PARTNER???

LIKE THEY COULD HAVE DONE A ****ING GOOMBA WITH A BRUSH STRAPPED TO ITS HEAD AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPIER. IMAGINE THE KIND OF CUTE COLOR SCREWED UP PARTNERS THEY COULD HAVE HAD

and that ****ing MAP. like ok. ik Paper Mario was never really was 100% open world but it worked so much. I'm about to break my Sticker Star box and burn it. I didn't even finish the second world! omfg and the gimmick of stickers must have been too much for them. So now we have to ****ing PAINT the cards so it'll be even MORE tedious to battle. I'm assuming this because I am guessing we need to use our paint to paint basically everything to go further in the game.

Jesus. I am going home this weekend to my GameCube. I am going to play TTYD for the probably 10th time and cry. Hell, I might even put in my Super Paper Mario. I liked that game when it came out, but now that I realize how bad it could have gone.... I love it. **** him for ruining this game. SPM had the best story (even though it did lack in a lot of things) and so in response they cut all story.

**** ME. I AM SO PISSED STILL.

[Tom Vercetti]

I'm about to start a new TTYD playthrough . Gonna focus more on BP/SP for the gimmick gameplay

[Gladion]

I'm actually excited for it
