MB's Video Game Classics: Paper Mario

Key · 07-15-2018, 11:52 AM

Still one of my all time favorite Paper Mario games. I've played a little bit of some of the other games in the series, but the first one will always be the best imo.

I watched my brother play one of these games for an hour once and it looked very, very boring. He's a big Nintendo fan, but it's not always that I see the appeal. Wario Ware is 11/10 though.

Wario Ware is indeed fantastic.

Paper Mario is fantastic. Great gameplay, fun characters, and plenty of charm. In many ways, it's a lot like Shadow Hearts: Covenant, with a timing system that adds spice to the turn based battles, and a whole bunch of fun and bizarre side stuff to discover (although nothing as weird as SH:C's dog fighting system, with the pre-match smacktalk between the dogs

).

Total 10/10 for me (or 5/5, or whatever). Loved every second of it.

Shadow Hearts Covenant? **** yeah. My personal favorite JRPG if you can believe that.

It's definitely a top ten JRPG. The combat system alone raises it above most of it's peers. I never did get around to beating it, though. Made it through the first disc and most of the second, before life stuff happened, and I just never got back around to it.

I've never beaten either. I'm stuck somewhere on disc two. I've beaten most of disc one a couple times, but I got to disc two for the first time ever last year.

The combat system helps keeping it fun for me. I'm not normally that into the genre.

either way strangely the best RPG I have ever played probably, so much heavier than it has a right to be, the Mario universe explored as a semi-cohesive universe is unique, and crazy, and colorful and unlike any other world you're likely to experience in an RPG

the writing is consistently funny, again way more than it has a right to be, it's family friendly humor that delivers in a way that brought out audible laughter on more than one occasion from me

and that's when it's not cranking up the feels as I found myself pretty invested in the fate of the characters

I was more so talking about the first one but if you wanna talk about them collectively that's perfectly fine. They're all great games from what I can tell.
