    super paper mario had pretty great characters


    I would definitely say I like it better than Paper Mario 64

    I liked Super Paper Mario

    it wasn't anywhere near as good as the others but I still enjoyed myself

    The art style if you could call it that blew ass.

    Otherwise it was a passable if a bit lame action RPG

    The art style is what made me buy it.

    M&L Superstar was really really good

    I don't get why the other M&L games weren't as good

    i think superstar just kinda came out of left field and was really good

    and they tried to follow it up without putting as much effort into it (or maybe too much effort in the wrong places)

    plus honestly the babies are kinda dumb

    this sounds like like the difficulty curve of the superstar saga games, funnily enough

    there was like a lost-woods type area

    I got through it to some harbor town or something, and as far as I could figure I needed to do something on the other side of the lost woods to progress

    but you couldn't backtrack through the lost woods until you had done the thing in the harbor town

    I dunno it might have just been a case of being bad at video games it was years ago

    I still feel deeply betrayed by how golden sun ended halfway through the god damn plot it set up

    but I wanted to give this DS one a chance
    and I really like the battle system
    and it is god damn gorgeous at times
    but oh my god it is so brainlessly easy there is basically no reason to play it

    When I first played golden sun I got stuck in the tutorial dungeon

    I spent months of playing on and off before I figured out to just tap A in front of a little light shooting out of wall

    I was so happy when I figured that out, I've loved the series ever since

    If it was possible to graft guys who are good at writing character dialogue and stories onto the guys from Golden Sun that do the graphics and gameplay, the resulting game would be pretty great

    I was really surprised it ended when it did

    I mean
    I had the roc feather and I was gonna get my glider and do the southern continent and hang out with Isaac and find Piers banging some 17 year old and oh man what is dark psynergy I bet there is light psynergy let's do this thang

    Then *BAM* it was over

    I am happy with the promise of a sequel, especially because I'd completely forgotten about the mourning moon thing

    But all the plot points being tossed out and the way the game had felt so easy so far made that boss fight feel very much like a middle of the game fight (see: Poseidon)

    I still really liked it though

    oh man, I remember when I first found Poseidon and I didn't have that trident

    I was honestly kind of expecting something like that after the first to games, a climax to the current adventure with a bunch of open hooks for the sequel

    I really wish they would've started up the main story sooner than 2/3rds through the game though, and I would have liked to see more of the original cast

    really enjoyed it though, hope the next one doesn't take 6 years to come out

    Guys, we need to get back on track.

    I guess Wotter's final form does still use a sword. But not in the way I wanted.

    Yeah, considering the other games I guess it wasn't too surprising

    But I still think most of the game felt pretty easy, I only had to retry the final boss once and I think I died maybe twice before that in the whole game

    And I don't think I ever really had a very satisfying "a-HA!" moment with any of the puzzles like I did in air rock

    Also the second venus adept felt super tacked on

    And the story really meandered for a long time

    I really did like it way more than I'm making it sound

    Edit-Fiz those are both still stupid and I will never reverse my dissapointment of final-wotter unless he is awesome in the anime

    The ending should tick you off plenty. It is very easy though. Post game dungeons are pretty tough though. I'm having to grind some to get the more powerful summons. Not gonna attempt Dullahan for awhile.
    Himi was a pretty big disappointment. They definitely just kinda threw her in there. At least they kept connections to the old games with her being Susa's daughter.
