Hey guys im back with another rant however it's a bit different.....See like with shadow there is also a certain ting that gets way too much popularity..But see I accually like this gameThat's right Paper Mario The THousand Year door now the reason I say this game is overrated is because everytime they compare it to its sequeals or other games they always say OH TTYD is best game ever SPM PMSS sucks or any other game sucks without relieasing it's flaws but point out the other games flaws,Don't get me wrong this is my favroite Mario RPG game and Back when the series was good.
But people keep shoving it down our throats a little too much like really people.....Well Gameplay wise i can see where it beats them all.However it improved on what it's predasser lacked Now your party members have more freedom to do other things than just attack all the time the take damage and have more persionallty put into them plus everything is more balanced out more sidequest which make great replay ability ...However this also makes the game way to easy really in the first one I heard someone where i live at say they loved the game alot but they said the enimes were overpowered at times
but still the bosses were too easy the new mechanics made it also easy in battles at times like the super guard etc the story is amazing and like the idea behind it,But SPM story was better imo cause that villian(who is really one just confused and hurt)
Accually was going to destroy everything (more of a love story behind it)Even though the gameplay and some chapters were BORING But in TTYD the Shadow Queen (Or Thousand year Old Bitch as I call her.)Wanted to rule the world Plus Chapter 4 and Begning of Chapter 7 backtracking was Annoying (but I can forgive it so it's cool)Plus some of the enemies at time were a bit annoying like one who heal others etc Plus I didn't really care for chapter 2 Im sorry but at times it was boring Plus the boos to me was meh it was giant robot (so unoringal) Also Bowser interludes were pointless and he had nothing to do with the story at all and felt rather shove in (sure it was great for some great and funny dialouge )But thats it also the whole 2d sidescroller thing to me made no since either.
IDK
However I undertsand it's a mario game but it's still cliche IDK bottom line is yeah it deseves it's popularity but people just Rub it in way too much and act like it's god it's annoying at times i won't lie Plus every arguement i hear basheing the others all just come down too TTYD is best game ever because of this and that Guys it's great but don't keep shoving it down out throats Although Paper Mario Sticker star sucks IMO and SPM gameplay and couple of chapters were boring EX Chapter 4
But still just going to and on about something really doesn't help a cause plus... Vivian Is a overused party Member don't get me wrong She's my 2nd favroite party member in the series it's just yeah you feel sorry for how much abuse and neglect her sisters do to her but every playthough overuses her Plus why is so there many sexual pic ive seemn of her
I liked Using Gombella a Bit more because she had more attidue and funny humor put into her Vivian Is sweet But she acts to Emo and Bland at times(her dialouge not her character)
Although she's better than Kersti who imo is the most usless party member she just bitches at you her hints are useless untill the final fight of the game but anyways
Overall TTYD gets way way way too much praise though it deserves it The fanbase it has at times at stuck up with it and shove it down our thoats way too much just like Super Smash Bros Melee they always say it's best game ever While I agree it's new mechanics not only improved but made it easy at times
It's not a bad game it's far from it i just wanted to say the fanbase at times overrate it I still ove this game and it's the best in the series anyways thats all i have see yeah

I liked TTYD but the fans keep thinking this game is the best game ever and every other game sucks. They're also throwing a fit of the new Paper Mario game because it looks like sticker star and thinks it's gonna suck cuz it looks like sticker star. Not a big fan of sticker star but not every game needs to be TTYD 2.0. It's like Melee fanboys wanting Smash bros melee 2.0. Give the new game a chance. Sure it looks like Sticker Star but you haven't seen more of it yet.

The fanbase for Paper Mario made me hate Thousand Year Door. Theyβd never let me hear the end of it if I played it the whole way through, and said it was worse than Color Splash, where Super and Sticker Star are my top two favorite games in this series because of how much like they feel like actual Mario games. Sticker Star especially with the Mario & Luigi series.

Not really. You do realize these same people who love TTYD also like SPM and 64 right? They aren't just one singular unit, I don't understand why people constantly feel the need to group them as one. And to be honest, why is hating the game for being another Stinker Star a problem? Sure people can like the game, and yeah I do agree hating people who like the game is wrong and people do have rights to what they want to like. But really, the Stinker Star engine is terrible. It also doesn't help that Color Splash is just a slightly altered Stinker Star with the only different being that the writing, music and charm is good. Everything else remains mediocre or average.Β
Honestly I think only the gameplay portion of the game needs to come back. I think that's where people's main drawbacks lie with the new installments. It has nothing to do with people actually wanting the game to be like TTYD from the ground up, but more of they want the game to play like it because the gameplay portion of the game was refined. Or most polish. In fact whenever you see people complain about the gameplay TTYD's gameplay is often the only thing people note they want, so the whole "TTYD 2" thing comes from gameplay really. it's also kinda contradicting to want a Stinker Star 2, but rail on another side from wanting the same.Β
TTYD has flaws obviously. Such as the obnoxious backtracking in Chapter's 4, the first half of Chapter's 5 and 7. And the RNG/Stage Hazards, but there's really not anything else wrong aside from being easy, but honestly every game in the series is easy, so it's not just a criticism to TTYD. Something Color Splash defenders use against it, even though Color Splash is debatably easier. Even 64, Super Paper Mario and Stinker Star had backtracking too. There's the Apple Hunt in SPM, as well as Chapters 4 and 5. And Chapter 6 in 64. Stinker Star was loaded with this. Honestly I think defenders are just as bad as haters and I question what most of them liked about the series in the first place. Paper Mario was never a flawless series and every game has issues, but honestly I think TTYD is only wanted so much because of the polished gameplay style, it's the only ever thing brought up. Which is understandable. I actually don't prefer TTYD over every game objectively. I do prefer the gameplay style the most of every game, as well as the characterization and presentation. But I do like things in 64 better than TTYD at the same time, and the story in SPM. Stinker Star and Color Splash don't even feel like Paper Mario games at all, they're just typical Mario Plaformers with a different skin, the games use way too many boring Mario tropes.Β

Sticker Star > Thousand Year Door
Mario & Luigi series > Paper Mario series

anytime they say the soundtracks the best Mario have ever done, I have to point them towards the galaxy series, M&L Partners in Time, and Dream Team.

I love TTYD, but yeah I agree. It gets way too much hype. Sticker Star was a disappointment IMO. My favorite Paper Mario game believe it or not is the 1st one on the N64. Not only did it feel more like a Mario game than TTYD did, but I love the overall atmosphere of it. The storyline wasn't too dark (which was something I felt that TTYD did a little), and I love the party members (with Lady Bow and Watt being my personal favorites from the game). TTYD had great party members too, but yeah.
I love personally Vivian, she was my personal favorite from TTYD. Not only was she cute and had great character development, but I found her to be the most useful of the party members. But I understand where you're coming from.
