LTTP: Super Paper Mario

It was great at first but stopped halfway through the game mainly because the Pixl switching is too impractical since you have to access the menu every freaking time.
The gameplay is also too simple for my taste.

I plan to finish it though... maybe sometime in the future.
you do know that there's a quick-menu feature that lets you access characters, pixls, and items, right?

I dunno... maybe? It's been a while since I play the game.
If I remember correctly, you have to press a button to access the pixl list and choose from it. Anyway, It's too annoying for me.
They should've made a quicker method than that. (i.e. megaman? or hold 2 & press up/down?)
 
Wow, this is no good, no good at all!

The party hasn't even started in PAL-land and GAF is dragging poor paper mario through the mud!

So my frothing anticipation is no longer warranted? What the hell happened?

Don't worry..
You should know by now, the rule #1 of NeoGAF:
Don't trust NeoGAF regarding game purchases/reviews/recommendations
I really liked the game, but as you can see many hated it..but then, many around here seem to hate any game with Mario or game that actually sells, in favor of the latest lolli game from Japan that noone (outside this forum) even cares... :lol

the problem is you have to push 2 buttons at once to hotkey the pixl list, and half the time it would not work
worked fine for me every time.
 
well it was something i tolerated and would not have minded if the game was better than average. anyway everyone has there own opinion but i would give it a 6. still it had its enjoyable parts.

DON'T TRUST GAF.

Just don't overhype yourself like some other people did :p

this game's hype was warranted however.

1. made by intelligent systems
2. paper mario was one of the best games on n64
3. ttyd is one of the best on cube
4. press hype was high

I agree with you but I was addressing those that had such enthusiasm only to turn in their coats afterwards.

Believe it or not, Super Paper Mario is the first and only RPG I ever played from start to finish. The light comedic value made the story bereable than most rpgs to me.

i don't know if i'd call it a rpg, more like a platformer with rpg elements

Damn! That's such a drag!! :lol

Yes.

It's not so bad at the beginning since you only have limited character/pixls.

But at later stages, the switching between characters and pixls is required so often it made the game such a drag.....
 
I just finally beat this game last night.

I loved it, though I can understand people's complaints. For some reason the dialog and the odd design choices never bothered me. Except for no running without the running Pixl. Stupid.

Also, having something like the Pit of 100 Trials without a quicksave option is horrible. Maybe I can't commit two continuous hours to the game?

But, I did enjoy this game. I haven't played any of the other Paper Mario games, so perhaps that makes me more tolerant of this game. I don't know, I liked it.

who hates mario? i don't think I've ever heard anyone say they HATE mario games... Every mario game I've ever played was a great gaming experience and can't wait for galaxy but this game sucked.

Many around here hate Mario or anything Nintendo related for that matter.
There were even some that bought Super Paper Mario, knowing that they hate Mario, and of course they hated the game..but as always..
"This is NeoGAF, dude! ®"

Back on Super Paper Mario, I loved the whole 2D/3D concept, I wouldn't mind another game with that concept incorporated in some way.
The script/dialogues for this game are what made this game even better.
 
I wasn't late to this party but I did take like a three month break. This game has been a logjam in my gaming backlog. This is the most recent thread so I thought it OK to bump.

I'm on 4-4 right now at level 9, at what point should I try and tackle the 100 room dungeon? Also, am I going to need to take notes to get through this freakin' maze?
