Hacking Is Paper Mario Color Splash really that bad?

[Deleted member 42501]

Huge fan of the first two games, never played the others. Can pick up the Wii U version for a fiver and am wondering if its worth playing as a lot of reviews say the battle system is atrocious and removes all of the fun of the older titles. True or overreaction for youtube views?

The game is not very good

If you are expecting anything like the original or thousand year door you will be very disappointed

It's better than sticker star in my opinion, but not by much

They got rid of most of the charm of the older games

There is a reason the game is only $5 and thousand year door still sells for $30-40

The cards gimmick with the gamepad gets VERY OLD VERY QUICK,. but the game itself is not so bad, I enjoyed (when I was not being annoyed by the gamepad repetitive functionality)

Thanks, such a shame they ruined this franchise as it was such a refreshing RPG with an excellent combat system. I wasn't too impressed with Tokyo Mirage Sessions either as I found that to be very basic underneath its glitzy graphics and quite repetitive too.

Whats left RPG wise then on Wii U?

I've played them all and whilst it's no Thousand Year Door, I did enjoy it. It has some neat little quirks here and there, it's just not as layered as some of the better titles in the series.

It's not a bad game, people are just overly nostalgic for thousand year door which over the years i've been startiing to dislike alot.

Really? Why? I thought it was one of the most fun games ever, admittedly I haven't played it in ages as I generally don't replay titles as there is so much new stuff out there to try, hence the thread. Did you find the combat in Color Splash as bad as people say it is? What were its redeeming features and parts you hated?

The story is actually pretty good and as a whole the game is not bad at all in my opinion. The combat does become repetitive but it is worth playing for the story alone.

I really enjoyed the whole game but then I haven't played the first two parts yet.

You're in for a treat! The first two games are nigh on perfect, savor them when you play them as they're so much fun and very humorous.

I can tell you that paper mario sticker star had me bored and I never finished it. So if the color splash is anything like that, then that's a problem.

Color Splash is actually excellent, in my opinion. TTYD is way overrated; CS beats it in creativity, level and event design by a mile.

Most of TTYD's locales are just long horizontal stretches of land with enemies on them. And the backtracking, hoh boy.

Yeah people don't care to admit it but at least 4 chapters are backtracking, stuck doing mandatory non boss battles and stuck on a god damn train. Also that badge system is there to prevent people from breaking the game but at the same time it allows you to break the game.

I really liked it me! It's not the best thing ever but it a fun time

It was funny, charming and had a good story (although I already forgot what it was about lol) but I really really hated those boss fights in which you had to have special cards which were hidden and you couldn't finish this fight without them. Had to use a walktrough on some parts which destroyed the game for me.

Same issue as sticker star with the unique stickers

Kind of reminds me of Zelda cdi games - winning isn't about strategy, but covering the same ground 5x
