Super Paper Mario

I think Super Paper Mario is an excellent game. It had just about all the qualities that makes a game great in the first place- the graphics, sound/music, storyline, and most importantly, the gameplay. I thought it was pretty neat how they combined the gameplay of the classic NES (and SNES) games with RPG elements from the previous Paper Mario titles. Upon browsing through numerous comments regarding the game on Youtube (as well as the "Top 5 Wii Games" topic), I've noticed that quite a few people seem to hate it. I, on the other hand, don't understand the hate for it at all. I hear numerous complaints about it, where people say that it sucks, simply because of the fact that it wasn't entirely an RPG like the other two. Seriously, WTF? If you ask me, I'd say that's a VERY stupid reason to hate the game. Quite frankly, I don't see how it's even possible to be a Mario fan (whether it's of the platformers, RPGs, or both), and hate this game. I have yet to see anyone come up with a solid argument as to why Super Paper Mario sucks. But hey, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, I guess.

I agree with CM

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door was FTW ( I like the story and my favorite chapters are 8 and 3)

At least Uniju/Free Loader's banned, but SG (Smartarse.) hates that game too...

Well, he complains a bit less, though...

Me? Never played it.

I'll go waste my money on MKW.
 
I loved the gameplay; it was worth the purchase. But I wish the ending layout would be almost like the original Paper Mario in a way. :(

Hey, don't cut me out of the fun.

Alright, time to break this down:

1) Everything mentioned was fine, except the story. Not only was it a pitiful attempt at epicness and totally unfitting of a Mario game, it had the whole stupid "omg teh powerz of LUV and FRENDSHIP will alwaiz winn".

2) Omg you can get more health, it's an RPG!

3) Well, I guess that's what this post is explaining.

4) PM is an RPG series. If you want to make a platformer, don't stamp Paper Mario on it just for more sales.

5) I do.

6) This seems like a nice place for other miscellaneous complaints. No replay value. And don't you dare mention the Pit of 100 Trials, that's not replay value, that's just extra tasks to keep you playing.

7) No you're not.

Thank you and good night.


Oh yeah, TTYD was also overhyped.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you responded to number seven, you're saying that people AREN'T entitled to an opinion?

That is correct good sir.
 
No offense, but that's got to be one of the most idiotic statements I've heard on this forum so far.
