Topic: Paper Mario: The Origami King

@JaxonH yea I heard about the input lag too but didn't notice it. Not saying people aren't experiencing it, but I could have adapted without knowing.

The latest update dropped today maybe? Allows for zengetsu to be playable which is cool..i liked him.

Im With you though, I don't understand the Bashing the game got. Side by side, sure. But I was ok with it.

Side note: struggling with huff n puff on paper mario!! Hardest part of the game thus far.

Metroid Other M is exactly the game I'd compare it to. The difference is that their incredibly baffling misunderstanding of story went in fundamentally opposite directions (basically too much vs too little), and Sticker Star has more high and low points in terms of gameplay imo (at times it risks being really good ). But even as someone who thinks they're kinda almost decent, the better gameplay portions are still significantly worse than the better games in their series.

also you should have a guide when playing parts of sticker star tbh

@NintendoByNature If nothing else, Sticker Star looks fantastic in 3D. Hope you enjoy it.

I just hope this game has partners like in the first two games! Man I'm gonna have to go replay TTYD!

@baller98 I know i am. Been looking on Amazon and what not. Best I've seen is 35 USd

@baller98 I'm good thanks man. Ill prob hold out for a $20 price down the line

@kkslider5552000 Sticker Star requires a guide for some sections? I'm assuming some aspects of plot progression aren't very obvious in that case.

@Tyranexx Certain sections require specific stickers to progress. It's not always obvious what you need.

I appreciate that they were trying to add a puzzle solving element, but I think it just made the experience more tedious.

@Ralizah dang that stinks. I'm sure ill miss mandatory stuff then

Are you guys really going to deceive me into playing Sticker Star (>.<)

Thing which irks me about all the latest entries was this: whoever made the decision that the Paper Mario line was intended for absolute novice fans of Mario games. I won't say it's a theme that's been upheld completely, but the creative edge (almost always tongue-in-cheek) made for an immersive world and brought some weight to the adventure.

You would never imagine the granting of approval for Piantas as a criminal institution, for example, but it was probably the only portrayal which could give legitimacy to such a woefully strange species.

Thanks for the reply and sorry for my slow reaction! Unfortunately I dont have (nor planning to have) access to a Gamecube and I dont do emulation, so I'll hold off for now.

@Ralizah Wondered if it wasn't something along those lines. Sounds like one of those mechanics that should work, but it does sound a bit tedious if you need to backtrack for some reason.

Off topic, but Did anyone else think the new PM game reminded you of Yoshi’s Crafted World?

Will Flower Points make a return to your health system in this game or is it HP only?

@MarkL1987 So far no sign of Flower Points. Which is odd, since if the battle system really isn't using cards/stickers, then how do they limit which attacks you can do? It's honestly the biggest sign that we're still in disposable attack mode.

I just learned about a game called Bug Fables that is a classic Paper Mario look alike and it's coming to the Switch tomorrow. Reviews seem to be stellar, so I think I'll be picking that up. I wonder what it will look like next to Origami King?

@EOTW Im very interested in that one as well, cant wait

@EOTW
Bug Fables looks good. Not quite on the tier of Paper Mario but a good throwback to Thousand Year Door if you're itching for that exactly gameplay (I think I'd rather just play TTYD, then again Bug Fables is on Switch, whereas TTYD has to be played on PC).

I'm looking forward to a sequel down the line with improved visuals. They did good but, it still seems a bit lacking. If BF is successful and they can afford a larger budget next time, we could be in for a killer follow up

New trailer:

Im super pumped about this. Definitely looks to be a step up from the original I recently played through.
