Paper Mario Series

[TheDarknessGrows]

I really wanna disagree with you, but considering how hard the early games (including the SNES RPG) rely on the "collect 7 stars to save the world"? Yeah...

That said, the characters absolutely made you forget you're playing the same basic plot yet again.

Hey I consider Star Fox 64 one of the best games and it is a remake. And all I want from that series is basically another remake since nothing else seems to work.

bowser's inside story and beyond while good, go in too hard on gimmicks for my liking

I wanted to really like Dream Team since Luigi had more of a focus that time around, but something about it just made me put it down after getting to a certain point. Can't really pinpoint what it was but all of a sudden I got that "I kinda don't want to touch this anymore" feeling.

This is like that Bridget shit all over again.

We heard you the first five times you said this.

 

[The Ultimate Ramotith]

I earlier said that I would wait a month afte release because I wan to wait until there are mods that make the remake great.
I did not expect so many good mods after a week!

I am still trying to fix the textures with Paper Mario TTYD64 firs, though.

That is the magic everyone loves. Want more? Bug Fables gets close. More still? Maybe Costume Quest? Maybe? Even more? Well there really isn't anything.

You really going to forget about Stick of Truth like that?

Edit: Wow, look at these cool news mods that just got released.

Lol guessing Nexus mods? They're quite fagged out.

GameBanana, the same site that just deleted the mod that replaced Vivian's dialogue and descriptions with the ones from the GameCube.

I like Dream Team, but even I'll agree that at some point it started to become a bit of a slog to get through. Dunno what exactly, maybe the general attacks or exploration of it all being bigger and longer than Bowser's Inside Story, but I find it one of the harder M&L games to get back into.
Paper Jam, despite being the definition of "missed potential", was actually still a fun game since gameplay is the only thing carrying it HARD til the end, and dare I say I think I liked it more than Dream Team, probably because I could blow through enemies and cutscenes much faster with the new speed button.

Has anyone tried getting into the Mario & Luigi games? I've been making an attempt recently and I just can't do it.

Only the first one is great, the rest are good if you're desperate for more. The original seems better than the remake btw, not sure which you are playing.

I'm playing the original. The remake is ugly.

Reminder, you are not allowed to quietly enjoy not having a tranny in your game with a simple reversion mod that doesn't affect anyone who doesn't download it. All things must be in worship to the Almighty Troon. What other people do with their bodies doesn't affect you, Chud, but if you think for a second that you can enjoy something without their say-so, you'll be banned.

I've had long term friends turn on me over me pointing this shit out this shit's getting worse all the time man. Mention shits changed in a way that's not even accurate to the JP version and then it spirals into claims of "transphobia "and "right wing extremist". I guess those many years of people knowing I fucking hate preachy censored shit suddenly don't matter because the clout thirst for good boy internet politics team points is just so fucking intoxicating to people that aren't me on a level I never even knew till now.

>Localization change in favor of conservative ideals = censorship = bad
>Localization change in favor of liberal ideals = modernization = good
That’s it. That’s the argument.

What the fuck is a bisexual lesbian? You're either bisexual or lesbian.

I’d argue that all female bisexuals are by extension lesbians, but not all lesbians are female bisexuals. Likewise, all male bisexuals are by extension gay.

Paper Mario games are not about the story. People that tell you this are liars or weebs or whatever.

I can see that argument for PM64 and maybe TTYD, but SPM absolutely has a heavy focus on story.

Paper Mario is a competent turn-based combat system with partners and a well-executed action command mechanic in a explory world that has backtracking.

That is the magic everyone loves. Want more? Bug Fables gets close. More still? Maybe Costume Quest? Maybe? Even more? Well there really isn't anything.

As they all are rpgs they absolutely inherently are tied to Story focus, as simple or autistic as the story is. Like a good few other notable rpgs though, the gameplay mechanics all are what makes them stand out. Maintaining a good story/gameplay balance is something the first three paper mario games really do well IMO, all of them kind of build off SMRPG given the first paper mario was intended as a sequel to that game. Super paper mario may be the strange one of the 3 for combining the Mario platformer gameplay with the Paper Mario rpg mechanics but I'd never call it bad for it.

I'm genuinely fucking concerned what they'd do to the nerd characters from the first paper Mario and Super if they remade those given the alterations made to the TTYD english script, might've already said that I forget and I'm too lazy to check. The funny autistic nintendo fan/ butterfly forum enthusiast from Super Paper Mario would 100% be turned into some " sexist gamergate/maga reference character" to try and make you feel less worse for having to fight him.

The vivian localization mod got reuploaded! let's look at this true and honest reaction from the gamebanana community.
Jesus, it's just a game. Anyway. I've downloaded the mod before it eventually gets scrapped again. It's in the attachments.

This retard calling out people "patrolling" as if he's not being even more pathetic tallying up who's reacting to each comment. I think he made identical comments on other uploads of the mod too.

The page is removed now as well, surprised it even stayed up for an hour.

Story is what happens, plot is how it unfolds.

PM64 has a brainless story, as you said. The protagonist grabs seven things to stop the bad man from doing a bad thing. The plot carries the writing because the characters, worlds, and dialogue make it fun to follow along. A good storyteller can make their trip to the bathroom compelling, but a bad storyteller could make their survival of two nuclear detonations and a subsequent zombie apocalypse boring.

Now that I’ve finished the game twice, I have my final verdict.

I honestly feel that the improvements do make it a better game. WHEN you mod it.

Vivian mod
60fps mod
Fixed videos mod
Faster text mod

When to add those three, you get a near flawless experience that’s the best way to play this game, even compared to the GameCube.

I think I’m going to compile them all into a rar so anyone else who wants to play this game for real has easy access

On another note, I’ve been playing that new Zelda 64 recompiled. And it desperately makes me want paper mario 64 to be recompiled with the same tech and then AI upscaled

It's not just Vivian that needs to be modded, the entire script needs a do-over since it's overly sanitized compared to the original.

It also needs to have the voice chirps replaced with something that doesn't make me want to gouge my ears out.
