Why SPM Sucks

I think the problem is that most people judge it as an RPG.

It's not an RPG guys, it's a platformer. You have to get the RPG thing out of your head.

I was well aware that it was a platformer and not an RPG. I still thought it was an extremely lousy platformer.
 
I never really had much of a problem with the gameplay. It was a perfectly enjoyable game until the story would rear its ugly head.
 
At least it had a story. Count Bleck actually has a reason for being evil, unlike Bowser, who's just evil because it's cool. Villains who have a reason to be evil are far more interesting than villains who don't have a reason, and are just evil for the hell of it. As Ballade said, Bowser is better as an anti-hero than as a villain. He had a great personality in Bowser's Inside Story.

And they've already had Bowser as the villain in the original Paper Mario. It would be boring if they repeated the same plot again.
 
Motives are nice and all but not when they're as retarded as Bleck's. Imagine if everyone acted like that when their girlfriend broke up with them.

Just because they don't want Bowser as a villain again doesn't mean they have to make him the town idiot.

Bowser is almost never the main antagonist of a Mario RPG game anyway.

Such a terrible chain, huh?

Like I've said before, that wasn't the reason why Count Bleck tried to destroy the world. It was because he thought that Tippi/Timpani had been killed, after his father made her wander through all of those dimensions.
 
THAT CHANGES NOTHING. A LOT OF PEOPLE'S SPOUSES DIE. NONE OF THEM HAVE EVER BEEN THAT SOUL-CRUSHINGLY EMO ABOUT IT.
 
My grandfather died of clinical depression shortly after my grandmother died.
 
People don't die of depression, they die of not taking care of themselves because they don't give a shit anymore.
Besides, that doesn't change the fact that Bleck is borderline-retarded, ridiculously stuck-up, and spoiled beyond belief; and THAN at the end they try to make you feel sorry for him, even though he near-single-handedly destroyed entire universes(i.e, more than any sentient being in real life will probably ever be able to fathom) over something that few would even kill THEMSELVES over.
