>>332028153
Chapter 1 was meh.
Chapter 2 is underrated, cool story line, cool boss fight, good dunegon.
Chapter 3 is overrated, the forest is obnoxious, the boss fight is a gimmick all it has is the haunted mansion
Chapter 4 is good but the backtracking kills it
Chapter 5 is solid
Chapter 6 is the worst, backtracking, gimmick boss, shit partner.
Chapter 7 is the best by far
I haven't played this game in four years. All I remember is, fuck the toy box level.

>>332036162

my only issue with TTYD is two of your party memers being non classical mario enemies.

It's only decent if you go into it knowing that it will be very different from 64 and TTYD. It's really hard to see it as a good game when you compare it to its predecessors.

I think I was 14 or 15 when I first played Paper Mario and Flower Fields gave me a really weird feeling. Like a good feeling (not lewd you faggots) but I can't describe it. There's just something about I really really like and I always look forward to it when I play the game. I still get that same feeling even just looking at screenshots of it.
>>332043009
Honestly it's not even the fact that it's a different genre, hell I would've welcomed a platformer if it had been a GOOD platformer. Instead we get this horrible frankenstein platformer-RPG that tries not to be to "difficult" or some shit, presumably under the false assumption that people who play RPGs don't like action games and vice versa, and also that in spite of most of the humor in PM plays better to a slightly older audience they absolutely need to target the little kiddies just because they don't trust that people will be able to look past the cutesy artstyle.

Do you pronounce it bau, as in "I bow before you" or boe, as in "Bow wears a bow on her head"I know boe makes more sense but I'm always inclined to say bau for some reason

>>332043995
This song gives me an unreasonable amount of anxiety. Jesus.
>>332043535
I feel like 64 had the most consistent and harmonious aesthetic. TTYD consistently has clashing color palettes and weird, jagged silhouettes that frankly remind me sometimes of those horrible early 2000-era cartoons when a lot of studios started migrating to digital. I also appreciated the fact that the sprites were actually animated frame-by-frame as opposed to the horrible flashlike animation of the sequels, though I realize it probably has less to do with muh quality and more to do with technical limitations.
TTYD pretty much only has the chapter settings/scenarios going for it -- 64 had better aesthetic, as I mentioned, but also more exploration and more of the sense of a "classic" RPG where the defining feature is immersion and exploration rather than levels or combat. SPM had okay aesthetic(still better than TTYD imo but not as good as 64) and total shit gameplay but as many have said the writing is the best.
tl;dr 64 best world/aesthetic/exploration, TTYD best scenario/gameplay, SPM best story/writingfor me overall 64 is the best, but in spite of all my shitting on TTYD I can still understand why it's some peoples' favoriteHOLY FUCK ANY MORE OF THIS CAPTCHA BULLSHIT AND I'M GOING TO START GETTING TRIGGERED BY KAYAKS AND PALM TREES

Fuck guys I haven't played that in ages. Nobody around me had ever played it and I never finished it. Loved the intro though
>>332044803
Yeah, that's what I meant.
>>332044767
This isn't an excuse. TTYD doesn't suffer this problem at all. You have action commands right off the bat, the battles and pacing in general is also much smoother.
Chapters 3 and 6 in TTYD can go fuck themselves though. After the first time playing those, these are nothing but time wasters.
Who here would play a Paper Luigi game based on his stories from TTYD?The twist is that Luigi is actually an anti-protagnoist and you spend most of the game playing as the partners trying to fix his messes, but he occasionally manages to pull through even if it is a little blundery/accidental
>>332044959
>Hating the excess Express

>TTYD chapter 2
By far the worst chapter of the series.
>>332044847
i enjoyed it. i think it gets way too much hate. some of the boss fights were fucking infuriating though
>>332045162
I don't exactly hate them, as harsh as I made that sound. Its the fact that they both suck after having played them before because you know everything.
Basically I'm saying the magic is gone, which sucks.
>>332044959
Again, that's somewhat necessary just to highlight how useful, critical timed motions are.
And as far as pacing? Both PM and TTYD's Chapter 1's suffered in different ways. PM featured a fair deal of walking in empty space but did have progress either by escalating enemies or puzzles, while TTYD was a fairly large and predictable slog-through that was redeemed by the fair amount of reward in Coins and Items to be gained (not too much, not too little).
>>332045226
Tedious yes but it has one of the most fascinating aesthetics of...well, pretty much any videogame location really. I don't even give a fuck that the way the water and tree roots interact doesn't make any sense, it's amazing.

OFFICIAL REVIEW OF EACH PAPER MARIO CHAPTER, SUCK MY FAT VEINY COCK
Paper Mario
>1: simple as hell but it does its job, 7/10
>2: a large area with an intrigue, too bad the dungeon is too short, 8/10
>3: more intrigue, not one but two mansions to explore, mexican music, 9/10
>4: short as fuck and that's including the backtracking, 4/10
>5: pretty good adventuring vibes, very large area too, kolorado is great, 9/10
>6: just one big dungeon, 7/10
>7: some intrigue with the "murder" mystery, the climb to the other side of the Crystal Palace is pretty climactic, 8/10
>8: really large, everything you've done so far reaches its peak and conclusion there, the music changes as you progress, one of the best Paper Mario series chapters, 10/10
>>332055508
TTYD
>1: see PM chapter 1, 7/10
>2: see PM chapter 1 except it's not supposed to be like chapter 1, 6/10
>3: first half makes it a 5/10 but intrigue seriously kicks in after that, bringing it to a 10/10
>4: really unexpected plot, unfortunately the area is way too small, but the story saves it, 7/10
>5: basically chapter 5 of PM1 but smaller, 8/10
>6: more intrigue and mystery, not a whole lot of gameplay but fuck off, this is a RPG, 9/10
>7: just backtrack my shit up f a m, becomes really climactic when you reac the X-Nauts' fortress, 8/10
>8: spooky shit, again everything you've done so far reaches its peak there, the area suffers a little from not being diverse enough though, 9/10

SPM
>1: see PM chapter 1, 7/10
>2: basically more of the same of the previous chapter, Merlee's Mansion is not very fun either, and then there's the whole "get 1 billion rupees" shit, 6/10
>3: great, just one big homage to classic games, and the last part is hilarious, 9/10
>4: no intrigue besides "who is that green thing anyway" until you meet Mr. L, everything is just slow and floaty too, 5/10 (it only exists to introduce Mr. L)
>5: decent chapter, Flint Cragley is great, 7/10 (it only exists to introduce the Floro Sprout Dimentio uses to re-awaken Mr. L at the end)
>6: holy shit what was that? It's basically chapter 3 of TTYD - first half is just fight after fight, but intrigue kicks in afterward and it's glorious. The chapter structure is completely disregarded too, and it's just a lot of unexpected events happening. I'm including the Underwhere part because chapter 7 doesn't actually begin until you open the door. 10/10
>Chapter 7: it's decent, the Overthere bits are bland though, but overall it's decent platforming and the story tries to keep riding the excitement of the previous chapter, with Luvbi being the Pure Heart. 7/10
>8: long and climactic, with each party member "dying" until you're alone. the last part is where all the story concludes, but until then not much happens, and it's the only final dungeon to only have one theme song, that doesn't even change over time either. 8/10
>>332036162
I'dbangher
Bowser's flying fortress in the original PM was so much fun... I'm surprised it isn't scoring better than that.
>>332043834
Not exactly a track, but I love that little intro jingle when Mario's falling from the castle at the beginning of PM64
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxMmCv2qgFk&list=PLN_lgq4Nvxmu8-O2XZgkUaUaiQT51PxT6
at the very end of the video
It's also similar to the jingle at the beginning of the title screen music, but I especially like the variation used there
>>332056321
Blunder Star
>1: see PM chapter 1, 7/10
>2: having to find the several scraps to make the tower appear is reminescent of PM1's chapter 2, however I feel that the lack of a town or new characters prevents it from being as engrossing, 7/10
>3: really big area, there's like 12 levels too, however constantly running after parts of Wiggler's body isn't exactly the most exciting storyline, Sniffit or Whiffit, losing your gear underground, and the world's boss thankfully rescue it, 8/10
>4: a couple of areas are boring and pointless, which could make this a 3/10, but a couple of areas are really fun and there's even classic Paper Mario intrigue with the Enigmansion, enhanced by the 3D effects and paper style. So it is a 7/10, could have been a 9 or 10 if half of the chapter wasn't pointless though
>5: the paper effects are nice I guess, nothing special happens beside an annoying run-from-a-giant-fish minigame and going through the dungeon without your stuff, 5/10
>6: are you fucking kidding me? 3/10
>>332056681
This LP looks pretty good, it's like the old SA ones. Thanks for introducing me to these guys.
>>332056681
Also I really like that part as well, how it slowly fades to white as Mario falls through the clouds and the logo comes in with the title motif. It has a really good feel to it, plus it's very nostalgic to me.
