Paper mario

sticker star came into existence

When Super Paper Mario was revealed to be a weak platformer with lazily implemented "RPG" mechanics and the majority of the new characters were literally shapes.

Would a petition even reach their offices?

I realized it long ago, but I refused to admit it until the 10th anniversary of TTYD.

After seeing SPM's sprite designs.

>>283592593
I'm confident that the disaster that was SPM is what inspired Miyamoto to reign in IS and tell them to use Mario characters. I could not give less of a fuck about the love life of a butterfly made out of rainbow-coloured triangles.

>>283593195
why'd they make Mario so short and angry looking anyway

SPM.
Laziest piece of shit I ever played with the most blatant padding. Sticker Star was bad, but they at least put effort into animating the characters. In a fucking paper world.

SLIPPERY SLOPE

Sticker Star was too obvious with the Paper aesthetic.
HEY GUYS STICKERS AND SCIZZORS AND GLUE ISNT IT NEAT
At least in the origianl it was just a part of life and TTYD was ceatve with it

>>283593637
>HAHA WHOA MARIO I'M SO CRUMPLED
>STAPLED, CAN'T MOVE
>WATER IS PAPER'S ENEMY
But to be fair, the paper aesthetic looks great in it.

When /v/ started praising TTYD as a meme.

>replaying PM2 on Dolphin
>get to Boggly Woods
>get to glitch where I can't let the old guy out of his cage and let the other things out
>stop playing for a while
>come back
>save data gone
Feels bad man ;_;

What we need is something that goes back to the Cardboard roots
>>283593784

>>283593802
It's just as good as the original m8
>>283593852
Game gets so much better past that fucking level I'm sorry bro you missed out.

literally whats poppin

>>283593637
My nigga. That was one of my main beefs with Sticker Star. I hated the way it looked with everything being made of paper and cardboard.

FTFY
Sticker Star was digging up the corpse to piss on it

>>283592452
When they veered away from the formula of the first two games.

>>283594165
They emphasized it too much. especially with that Thing shop bullshit.
The graphic mod for the origianl looks pretty good though.

>>283594508
It's honestly not that bad. the gameplay is pretty solid. It's worth it anyway. GlitzPit is chapter 3.

SPM wasn't that bad

If you think that online petitions work you haven't been on the internet long enough.
Signed, a jaded Earthbound fan.

You dont know that

1 bad game /=/ dead

you guys are worse than Metroid fags

Just because you didnt have a game in 2 fucking years doesnt mean it's dead

>>283595275
It wasn't that good either.

>>283595398
A game that was almost good is a good sign and a bad sign.
It means the people making it were perfectly capable of doing it. It also means there was a reason it pulled a u turn and that reason will probably show up again seeing as the ratings aren't too bad on it.

>>283595398
good thing there's 2 bad games, or you'd have a point

How much hope is there that there will one day be a Paper Mario that returns to and, dare I say it, builds on the original format of the first two?

What? No, SPM was really really bad. Gameplay and moving around was sluggish, and half of the zones were filler until the next cutscene.

>>283595685
I don't know why they bothered giving the pixels any personality during their intro so that they never speak again. I realized that it's because Tippi does most of the talking, but surely they could of written up a few more lines for them to make them more three dimensional.

Still, I guess there's enough dialogue as it is

>>283596061
>chain chomp partner
fuck man don't remind me

Smash 64 = Paper Mario
Melee = TTYD
Brawl = Super Paper Mario
Smash 4 = Sticker Star

At least M&L is still alive, and while there've been gimmicks, they never consumed a whole game.

I just wish that they'd stop shoving tutorials everywhere.

>>283596227

>half of the zones were filler until the next cutscene

This is Chapter 4 so much.

>>283596332
So what you're saying is that Paper Mario aged poorly, but is charming, TTYD is overrated and its fans are incredibly immature, Super Paper Mario is unfairly hated and offered the most content, and only TTYD fans hate Sticker Star.
Those are all completely wrong.

>>283596332

You insult Smash 4, anon.

I actually like how the Mario & Luigi series keep changing the format a little with every game. Keeps things fresh.

The tutorials are hell though, especially when you're playing through the game again.

>>283596929
DON'T YOU MAKE ME CRY, YOU FAGGOT

>>283596332
I enjoy Brawl because of the larger cast than melee and some that didn't make it to Smash 4. If I was able to enjoy SPM with different characters, maybe it would be enjoyable, but no, I have to switch to Mario every other screen to gain access to some incredibly obvious door or enemy. You spend so much more time than you should flipping through some stupid menu. It drives me nuts.

Well Earthbound got a fangame I don't see why PM can't.
We'll see HalfLife 3 before a new PM game gets released.
Maybe we should try and make our own.
/a/ made a fucking anime and /lit/ made a novel
It's time that /v/ stepped up and made a game.
We already have an good engine started.
We have some animation work underway.
As well as plot and mechanics covered.
We're trying to avoid "idea" guys in general but will happily accept some help if you have some skill. don't need to be pro but some art and music guys would be very appreciated

That's two posts with stupid assumptions, tripfag.

Super paper mario is actually pretty good and the only thing is that everyone hates it because it is too vastly different and it went for a completely different gameplay style than the previous games.
If is didn't have paper mario in the title none of you fucks would be calling it bad

Dosen't mean we can't try. Nothing everyone here is a autistic shitposter.
We already have an engine and that's usually what kills most projects.

>>283597349
It's Kirby's Epic Yarn with no charm or fun, easier combat, and wayyy too much talking. And no co-op

>>283597349
It like taking a game such as FF7 and making a third person shooter out of the setting.

Nothing ever bad would happen there.

>>283597738
>what even happens if you try and fight him before the heart?
You can't damage him and regular battle music plays. You can flee.

M&L. The battle mechanics have more layers to it.

>>283597646
>cliche-ridden plot
While it's completely okay to argue this, I sincerely hope you're not arguing it within a series where that's true of, for all intents and purposes, every single game.

>>283598381
M&L is consistently good, but the first two PM games blow the whole series out of the water. M&L=quantity, PM=quality.

>an entertaining, albeit outdated experience

>>283598206
Well you can't tie your points together like this if the music itself is good.

>>283598623
No PM game is better than Superstar Saga, though.

If it makes you feel any better, concept art is barely even a project.

>>283597523
Actually with the amount of writing and art assets a full-size Paper Mario game would require is monumental- designing a working battle system and such is trivial in comparison

>>283597210

We need to ask /tg/ to help us with this. I think they'll be sympathetic.

>>283599156
Oh come on, you hardly have to animate anyone frame by frame, most of it is tweening.
I've talked to programmers and they've all told me making a 3D engine is a complete whore to do.

>>283595208
I remeber dying inside reading that

>>283598381
I was surprisingly disappointed with BiS for the 2D platforming, which carried over 100% into Dream Team, which I loved for my first playthrough but now strongly dislike for its insane, insulting tutorials and excruciatingly stupid minigame combat.

I haven't played PiT in years, so I can't really comment on that one.

I personally think that SS is the only one that holds up to PM or TTYD besides maybe PiT. I think that BiS is probably objectively just as good, though, and I certainly do enjoy it on a lot of levels.

>>283597210
Maybe you should get a good writer first so you don't get things like "MUSTARD OF DOOM" "KING OF GUYS WHO TALK TO POSTERS" "NYARGLEBARGLE" or another character like Count Bleck

>>283597210
>/a/ made a fucking anime

They did?

>>283599471
We actually had all that shit done, fuck you could probably actually make the game with what we had finished, but the sheer fucking... god, there was SO MUCH art to do, and I'm a shitty neet who's whole motivation for living consists of being able to sustain an erection long enough to scribble something on my tablet

This is honestly the dumbest fucking criticism against Sticker Star.

There are a million issues with the game, it's an absolute gold mine of bad decisions, and you guys pick the fucking emphasis on paper?

It's just you attributing the other bad design decisions of the game to a completely unrelated aspect of it. If SS was as good as TTYD, shoot, half as good as TTYD, but still kept the emphasis on paper, nobody would give a fuck.

>>283601676

No fuck you it's shit

>>283592452
Started suspecting it when Super Paper Mario came out and fully realised it when Sticker Star came out. This series is a great example of why "innovating" just for the sake of it is not a good thing.

>>283602665
>This series is a great example of why "innovating" just for the sake of it is not a good thing.

Which is emblematic of the problem with Nintendo today. A game can't just be a game, it has to "innovate." Hardware can't just be hardware, it has to "innovate."

>>283602572
I actually liked the levels in Nuts & Bolts.

>>283602785

This isn't new. Nintendo has always tried to innovate. Sometimes it turns out good, sometimes not, usually it's both. But this definitely isn't something new.

ITS A FUCKING DRIVING GAME

I swear you dipshits just wanted to hate nuts and bolts

>>283602965
It just seems so much worse now, particularly with the 3DS and the Wii U. You can't just have a more powerful DS to succeed the DS, you have to give it a 3D gimmick that adds very little yet takes up an enormous amount of R&D money and system power. You can't just have a reasonably powerful console to succeed the Wii so that games like Bayonetta and W101 and the Xenoblade sequel can run at a fucking stable framerate while looking good, you NEED another gimmick controller that again sucks up R&D money that could've been spent beefing the console up.

>>283603154
>ITS A FUCKING DRIVING GAME
Yeah, that's why LogBox was a cramped vertical tower that still focused more on simple driving at the bottom than flying to the top or why the Terrarium of Terror, despite having so many twists and turns in the environment/landscape, was nearly pure aerial missions.
Face it, they didn't know what they were doing.

But you'd better have more than one programmer. Nobody wants to waste their time on something that can be brought to a screeching halt by one person's misfortunes.

I would say PM, but only slightly.
Superstar Saga is one of my favorite games ever, but PiT and DT are pretty bad and BiS is only decent.

PM Has the first 2 games being AMAZING, SPM only being disappointing but not horrible, and SS making me vomit

Legend of the Seven Stars in the best Mario RPG

>>283605547
To clarify, I'm not trying to be an asshole about this, but having multiple people that can code is crucial. I know a bunch of guys that got completely obliterated during the Global Game Jam because they had one guy that could code and like seven artists and the guy jumped ship after they had spent half a day making assets. It's just something that's too important to gloss over.

Leave some contact info here if your interested in helping out. Were currently trying to fill all the jobs needed to actually get this thing of the ground. Right now we are working on cleaning up our engine and getting mechanics and partners situated until we have a solid crew to work on this.
