I dunno, though. It's a Gust game.

Yeah, that's why I'm watching out for it. Out of 3 Gust games I played, I enjoyed one and loved another. One was just mediocre, but that's still a ratio at least on par with most, and better than some, JRPG companies.DarknessTear said:I dunno, though. It's a Gust game.
I see, but is it really on par with SMT3/DDS (I find that extremely hard to believe - I'd be ecstatic though). Also, that's "Buff" for you. Reminds me of "Bow" in BoF2.duckroll said:Etrian Odyssey has a story to uncover. But sadly for 'Fight' and 'Heal', they were too weak to venture past the first area of the Yggdrasil Labyrinth. Alas... maybe if they brought their friend 'Powerup' along they might have stood a chance.....

The Sphinx said:I can't stop wondering about this. Couldn't he have figured out their roles by their skill sets? Or by their character portraits? The guy in a skirt probably isn't your frontline defender. Or speaking of which wouldn't it be obvious which were frontline troops and which were backline by whether they were in the front or the back line?
This isn't like FFXII where EVERYone looks like they just walked off a fashion show runway and they all end up with the same skillset anyway. If I'm looking at a character whose class is 'Protector', whose skills include several synonyms of 'Defend', and whose portrait is wearing full body armor (even if I pick the 4 foot tall blonde chick), do I really need to NAME THE CHARACTER 'Meatshield' to remind myself of her role?
Of course not. As I said, I agree with the sentiment that the review sucks. But really, it's GI and a JRPG. What would anyone expect?duckroll said:Having said that, there's still no excuse to print something so juvenille as "Boo hoo I named my characters 'Fight' and 'Heal' just so I knew what they were good for! This game suxxx!" in a professional review.
"I had to give my party members names like "Fight" and "Heal" just so I could recognize who should do what in battle."

Wait, so they were right and they were wrong?Sean said:they scored Paper Mario right this time... though that's a little high IMO.
It's not what they want, it's what they think you want.Avalon said:I think there whole problem with it was that it wasn't JRPG'ish enough. All their bitching suggest they wanted a hold my hand story focused RPG.

Hmm, perhaps, imo it's a solid AA game, but definitely not a 9.5 or AAA game. The scores have been mixed, but most of the well respected reviewers have been giving it a AA if I'm not mistaken.Mrbob said:Super Paper Mario is one of the most overrated games of the year so far.
The main storyline is pretty bland, but the smaller storylines(i.e. within the worlds) and the dialogue are top-notch. So considering the strength of those elements, you are wrong about the story being horrible. If you are genuine in your opinion, then I think you have bad taste in video-game storyline elements and thus your opinion is probably not valid for the vast majority of gamers.Mrbob said:1) The Story is horrible
There wasn't much wii-mote functionality at all, so what big problem did you have with the little use of the wii-mote that was in there? And if you're problem is the fact that there wasn't much wii-mote usage, then you should say that, instead of saying it's a "joke."Mrbob said:2) The Wiimote functionality is a joke
WHAT? the 2D/3D mechanic is awesome. I absolutely love what it adds to the gameplay. It made so many new types of puzzle and secrets possible.Mrbob said:3) The 2D/3D mechanic isn't implemented very well
Partly Agreed, by only giving Mario the ability to flip dimensions, it made all of the characters seem more like tools that you call upon every now and then when you need them to do something. Calling them worthless is a bit much, as you simply can not finish the game without the other characters help at times.Mrbob said:4) The supporting cast outside of Mario is worthless

This is bullshit, they were paid to give this game such a high mark. It deserves a 3.Kintaro said:I'm bored, might as well.
