Hiding it only makes it weirder. Bayonetta is a hilarious game for someone not really into video games to watch.

Chapter Four has you go back and forth between the town and castle something like six. Goddamn. Times. Across four screens to get between them each way.

You just have to explain Bayonetta is a drag performance. Just instead of the man doing the performance to mock the cultural norms of femininity he designed a computer program to do it.

Goooooooooooooooooood daaaaaaaaamn

but anyway it's not that it's a bad game but it's not the flawless masterpiece everyone claims either

sticker star is pretty awful but I don't understand the idea that color splash at least doesn't even deserve to exist next to it

The battle system isn't even bad once you realize your goal should be to end encounters in one turn, and the order of enemy placement is essentially a puzzle to be solved. Especially since they give you multiple attacks as plot progression.

Colour Splash is a fun (and funny) inventory-driven adventure game with a superfluous combat system hanging off it.

It's not that so much as I'm just frustrated that it's treated as untouchable.

I actually preferred the original by a wide margin, though it also has flaws of its own.

It still holds up and is still the best one its more that the other ones aren't near as bad as the crazies think. Even Sticker Star is OK. Not exciting or great but it doesn't give you cancer.

No, if it's brown flush it down. If it's yellow, let it mellow.

Being boring I think is the greatest sin a game can commit, and Sticker Star is perfectly serviceable, but very boring

I got very bored of Sticker Star and stopped playing in Chapter 2. I picked it up again like a year later, and to my surprise it got actually good and interesting in Chapter 3.

Is Startropics 2 good? I played the original for the first time on the Wii U VC last year and liked it. When I looked at the second it seemed to have a less cool setting. I was hoping 2 would get released on the 3ds so I could play it traveling but it seems to have never been released there.

Here's another likely unpopular opinion: I actually am pretty on board with the mandate of using Mario's supporting cast over original characters, because I've always wanted to see more from Junior, Kamek, the Koopalings, and it's hard to get excited for a cast you're never really gonna see again.

Like, thanks to Paper Jam, Roy, Wendy, Larry, and Ludwig actually have personalities now. That's a gain as far as I'm concerned.

(also Bowser Jr. has the saddest childhood ever. holy gently caress)

I think they already said they weren't going back to that type of battle system.

I saw Trump's doctor about it and he said it was fine. Oddly he then led me into a room with a oneway window on the wall and asked me to pee on a pillow Obama used at the White House? I dunno what kinda test that's for

This was exactly my experience. The combat took too long, it was very samey, and there was TONS of it. There were some very clever and fun non-combat parts (and even some fun combat parts), but it wasn't worth going through tedious battles for me to finish it.

Also the rock + paper + scissors game was complete bullshit. Optional bullshit, but bullshit nonetheless.

Do you never like playing any other RPG? Teaming up with a bunch of random people is the norm for RPGs.

edit: Like I'm not against fleshing out older characters, hell fleshing out characters in general would be a good thing for the Paper Mario games. But whether or not they are new or old doesn't really affect game quality, just pre-release hype and marketing.

I remember Startropics 2 being really loving difficult. Had to use Game Genie for that game.

It's not that. I just think that if it's part of an established franchise, why NOT take the time to flesh out characters who really, really need it and use them as party members and villains?

A few original characters are fine but the overwhelming focus on them when they just vanish in the sequels makes it hard to remember anything about them. There's also a fact that ultimately a lot of them just feel... there. The two koopa party members in PM64 and TTYD are especially interchangeable, and in the end I really only think Bobbery, Bow, Goombella, and Vivian made a lasting impression on me.

Heck, Color Splash did more with a single Shy Guy on a train than some of these guys.
