Its weird, everyone bitches about Mario Party 9's car mechanic. But I got a few old friends together and we busted out Mario Party 2 and it was the SLOWEST paced game ever. I think there's some heavy nostalgia glasses at play here.

I played 2 recently with friends and it seemed to be paced just fine, although there's a lot less player involvement when it's not your turn. You can still spam noises though.

It seems like Mario Party is a really good game in theory, it just doesn't really get executed well often. I remember playing some Mario Party for the N64 and GCN and I enjoyed them, especially the extras like Minigame island. If they're going back to the "roots" of success with games like Cat Mario, they could at least do it for Mario Party.

this is now the mario party 2 thread: i like how in western world if you call a hootenany the other players will move past the hootenany space on their turn so if you have the funds you can get trapped in an endless cycle of hootenanies

Hey guys, just got a Wii U as a gift from a friend in the States. I was told to register my 3DS on the Canada region to avoid the crazy inflated prices the Mexican store has. Can something similar be done with this console or do I just have to eat the extra cost per game?

By "burden of content" he's obviously referring to the amount of time/effort/money that goes into making an individual stage/area/etc. 3D Sonic games have always struggled in that sense because Sonic stages are huge and detailed and resource-intensive but Sonic needs to be able to blow through them in a few minutes, so they have to pad the games with all sorts of bullshit in order to keep people from complaining that the games are short or lacking in content or whatever.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:By "burden of content" he's obviously referring to the amount of time/effort/money that goes into making an individual stage/area/etc. It sounds like what Sonic needs is a bunch of randomly generated stages made from a bunch of theme groups. Diablo 3 had the same issue of people clearing the stages way too quickly to the point of being bored so what they did instead of having the already made dungeons with a somewhat pre-determined layout, is that there's a constant shifting array of dungeon setups every time you access yet another level. That way you can re-use stuff and still have it provide sufficient challenge and content without it being too taxing on resources.

But it just sounds like such a dumb problem. I would play sonic if it were more akin to fzero and the terrain was largely barren but full of twists and turns. Instead we have a cast of dull characters that force the levels to be made for slower then sonic gameplay too. Its a shame.

Yeah but in terms of Platformers, Rayman legends is not only the largest 2D perspective platformer it's also one of the most balanced and has various types of platforming. I still like it better than Mario 3D world and Tropical Freeze.

the best mario party 2 map is western land, because it has a high density of battle mini games on the main pathways, as well as the potential for shenanigans by calling hootenanies. further, the duel minigame is top quality the second best is Horror Land, as it has an interesting structure, a good map gimmick through the day night cycle, and the potential for a huge reversal via king boo the overall tier list is western land horror land bowser land space land pirate land mystery land

another reason mario party 2 is the best is because it has the cutscene in the end where you stop bowser's scheme, where it cuts to a silhouette before dramatically revealing the winner, who then bests bowser the best way to play is to turn off the screen during the distribution of bonus stars, so it's not clear who's won until this point

Also Mario Party 2 sucked rear end because around like... 70% of the minigames or more were just straight up ripped from 1 with a slightly different aesthetic. Mario Party 3 is better in every way possible.

Been playing DKCTF and thinking about it too. It's hard. I've been dying a lot in that game, but what I think is really interesting is that in this game in particular, dying makes me feel like I want to do better. Usually in games, if I'm doing badly, it just makes me frustrated and want to quit, but this game and a small few others are unique in that losing makes me want to keep playing. I wonder what specifically makes it different in this regard than other games.

Because that's been done right and well many times before. It feels more like the developers are more interested in unpolished gimmicks rather than expanding and fine-tuning the central gameplay mechanic of just running and jumping.

I feel that after SEGA went third party they stopped giving a poo poo about Sonic as anything other than a franchise that would bring profit no matter how glitchy and poorly designed the games were. SA1 and 2 were a pretty weak jump to 3D, but after that they just stopped trying at all. edit: Though I guess the trouble started when they couldn't get a proper Saturn Sonic out and the failed development almost killed the one guy they left working on the project.

Instead we have a cast of dull characters that force the levels to be made for slower then sonic gameplay too. Its a shame. the big sonic games haven't had any playable characters besides sonic since sonic 2006, not counting sonic boom: rise of lyric which isn't really a sonic game outside of having his name in the title. the biggest thing sonic has always had over mario imo is how every zone is it's own unique and detailed world with it's own music that isn't ever repeated across the entire series. some zones do have similar themes with others but they always have something that makes them unique. it's the whole reason why a game like generations was even possible to make. removing that from sonic is one of the worst things that could be done to the series.
