It wasn't that bad.
>>341703249
man, shut up anon
>>341703249
It was a lazy, cynical game
no b8, pls
>>341703249
Yes it was, go away marketer.
>>341703249
How many times have we been over this, anon?
>>341703249
Yeah, you're right,it was ALL bad!
DOHOHOHOHOHO
It wasnt that bad.
I can't even be bothered to finish sticker star, but you haters should all know that you are galvanizing support and optimism for color splash. Your overwhelming hate for color splash is causing tons of "it doesn't look that bad" "haters aren't giving it a chance" "I'm going to buy it despite the haters, sticker star was my first game" posts on the internet
>>341703249
Yes it was
>>341704360
>sticker star was my first game
I honestly can't imagine someone enjoying Sticker Star even if it was their first Paper Mario.
It's not like it's bad as a Paper Mario sequel/game
It's just plain bad.
>>341706929
You sound like the kinda guy that didn't wait in line for the roller coaster in the ice world.
Oh wait you don't know what I'm talking about because you haven't played it.

I got all the way to the Bowser fight and stopped playing because he had something like 300 HP, and I was so sick and tired of the game that I didn't want to have to go back and search for whatever magic thing(s) it was that would make him a joke like the rest of the bosses.
Also, I mean this game is four years old now so I don't really remember the details of the game, but I'm sure that I did wait in that line.
However neat it may have been doesn't make the other 99% of the game somehow less awful and unenjoyable.
>>341703249
i loved it guess i have shit taste
>>341707627
>loved it
>loved
You undoubtedly have shit taste
SS was fun on a bun
It was fun, but /v/ hates fun and they just want to grind for a thousand years
and it got more sales than the previous games
>inb4 that's because 3ds has more owners
if it was as bad as you pretend it is, it wouldn't have sold much anyway, but it did, and outside autistic nests like /v/, reddit and youtube everyone liked it
>>341710143
>It was fun
It wasn't
>they just want to grind for a thousand years
You mean like Sticker Star is designed for?
>if it was as bad as you pretend it is, it wouldn't have sold much anyway
This is such a fallacious argument I can't believe you'd actually post it.
You know that someone can't know a game is bad until they play it, or other people play it, right?
I wasn't too sure about Sticker Star, but I got it anyway because I mean I liked the other ones, so why not right?
Fucking
It's one of the worst games I've ever played. Genuinely.
My friend, who did not buy it because he thought it would turn out bad, played my copy for about 10 minutes and was like "yeah I don't like this."
Sales do not equal quality you fucking moron
>>341710143
>grinding in Paper Mario
how bad you have to be
>disregarding the massive install base of the 3DS compared to the Gamecube and stating that at least people with no taste liked it

At the time I bought it I had fun with it, but then I couldn't quite tell what it was but the game grew continually worse from then on.
I don't even remember when I dropped it but it probably was around the second or third boss.
There was just nothing keeping me engaged in the game, dunno

Fucking this. I hated SPM because of the floaty controls and constant speed and the fact that PM isn't meant to be a fucking platformer, then when I read they were going back to turn based combat and battle instances I jumped on stickerstar without even looking at gameplay footage. My fucking god. Never again.
>>341710143
>if it was as bad as you pretend it is, it wouldn't have sold much anyway, but it did, and outside autistic nests like /v/, reddit and youtube everyone liked it
it sold well because it was a mario game on a console with 30 million sales and the game went into the $12.99 bargain bin at wal mart and gamestop 2 months after its release.
>>341703249
Honestly, a good number of Sticker Star haters are just a stick in the mud chumps that hold Thousand-Year door to such a high pedestal that it's ridiculous.
>>341711489
and this is coming from a guy who thinks Sticker Star is the weakest of the Paper Mario games too.
The problem is that it's alright, just alright
And its just alright while also changing so many things from the formula of paper mario, making it seem like they fucked up horribly by wanting to change it. And now we know Nintendo are gonna try their best to change Paper Mario for the worst because of the Wii U game
Super Paper Mario would be the same if it wasn't a great game by itself. It changed a lot but still kept the feel of a Paper Mario game
>>341710392
>You know that someone can't know a game is bad until they play it
if you're a loser with no friends, preorder or too lazy to watch a video in youtube, and the previous Paper Mario didn't have turn-based battles at all, in fact more people would expect Sticker Star to not have them either
>Sales do not equal quality
they do to a certain point, you can promise heaven, get lots of preorders but if the game is the crap you say it is everyone will notice and stop buying it
>>341710415
>cater to my circlejerk, not to a bigger market
sorry but devs work for money, not for your personal pleasure
tl;dr This game isn't made for you, move to a game that fits your tastes instead of telling everyone to enjoy things the way you want
>>341711754
>it's alright, just alright
When the core design of your combat encourages the player to avoid combat, I would not call that alright.
When your game is level-based, meaning and the only thing to do in the levels is more forward with occasional combat, and the combat is completely worthless, meaning the entire level is a waste of time
I would not call that alright
>>341711963
I played it not expecting much and I was sortof just meh about it
That's alright in my book. I give the game a 6/10 by itself, but a 2/10 for trying to be Paper Mario
>Nintendo makes a Mario that plays like the older games
>REHASH! NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY THE SAME THING AGAIN
>Nintendo makes a Mario with new mechanics
>YOU KILLED THE FRANCHISE, WE JUST WANTED THE SAME
>>341711960
>that image
I am the demographic Sticker Star was trying to appeal to.
The demographic being fans of Paper Mario because it was a Paper Mario game.
>if you're a loser with no friends
See, when it comes to things like this, there has to be a "guinea pig" friend.
I was the guinea pig.
I picked the game up on release day so there were no YouTube videos or anything.
>This game isn't made for you
Why would they make a PAPER MARIO GAME if they did not want it to appeal to PAPER MARIO FANS?
Stop being such a shit-sucking apologist.
Sticker Star is a bad game.
>>341712270
The thing is, Paper Mario fans wanted a game that played like the older ones. That's what they've been clamoring about for the past 12 years.
>>341712250
"just sort of meh" is the worst thing a video game can possibly be
>>341712270
The problem is that SS's mechanics were trash.
If they had been good and not trash, then nobody would mind.
Also, if they hadn't removed Bowser's ability to speak
If they hadn't removed every character that wasn't fucking Toad
If they hadn't removed a large, connected world in favor of NSMB-style levels
If they hadn't removed fucking stats and levels, the core concept of RPGs that even SPM, which changed a LOT, managed to adhere to
>>341703249
Anon, I loved it too, don't let /v/ tell you what you shall enjoy or not.
>>341712630
OP here, I actually hate sticker star and just wanted to get a venting thread going
>>341712270
>Nintendo makes a Mario with new mechanics
Make it it's own thing then dammit. Don't ruin a franchise by fixing what isn't broken.
Also remember the golden rule faggot, /v/ isn't one person.
And another thing. If the mechanics they put into the game where GOOD mechanics, no one would complain.
There is a reason people don't despise Super Paper Mario as much as Sticker Star
>>341712270
Big fucking difference between rehashing a MARIO PLATFORMER with something like NSMBW and NSMBU, and rehashing a STORY DRIVEN TURN BASED RPG. One of those you want innovation and something new each time because of the basic premise, the other relies on the gameplay and narrative. They removed fucking both. Fuck outta here with those false equivalencies.
color splash is going to suck
>>341703839
>those copy paste hallways
Holy shit I hope you aren't implying this is somehow better
>>341703249
ok sticker star is good.
but Thousand-Year Door is a thousand times better.
>>341717950
:^)!!!!!!!!!
>>341716575
Those hallways are battle gauntlets. They're three hallways in length and there's a chance you won't even encounter them at all.
Yes, it was.
I don't care how fucking pretty Color Splash looks if it's going to be just as fucking boring.
I'm surprised this one isn't just titled "PAPER MARIO: BECAUSE HE'S MADE OF PAPER! GET IT?!"
>>341703249
>literally Zelda cycle except with Paper Mario
top lol
>>341710143
>grinding

Congratulations, you're the biggest casual on the fucking planet.
