Message: [QUOTE="Pickle surprise, post: 372991, member: 16423"] My candidates are Paper Mario: Sticker Star and New Super Mario Bros 2. I tried to like Sticker Star at first and went in with high hopes, thinking it was just old school fans being too rigid in their tastes and being afraid of change. But no, they were right. Combat is pointless, bosses are a slog unless you have the right sticker to deal with them, if you used that sticker in another area by trying to figure out a puzzle then you are just screwed, having to backtrack to a shop to retrieve stickers that you misplaced, limited inventory size, Bowser has no personality whatsoever, bland as hell story in general, and no new character designs with the exception of a Wiggler butterfly. The hate for this game is well deserved, complete disgrace to the Paper Mario series. NSMB2 is one of the most Ubisoft Nintendo games I ever played. It feels so paint by numbers and its one gimmick that supposedly differentiates if from other Mario games is pathetic. COINS, lots and lots of COINS! Do you do anything special with these coins? Well if you collect enough, you get a new title screen! Anything else? Nope! I love collecting stuff in games but the collecting has to serve a larger purpose. Collecting shit just for the sake of it is not compelling gameplay, Nintendo. Honestly, it felt like they released this just because the NSMB games sell like gangbusters and Nintendo needed something that was guaranteed to bring in the money. It feels so lazy that they did not even bother to try anything that could make this game stand out from the rest of the series. I was miserable playing this as I felt like I was going through the ropes yet again playing through the most by-the-numbers levels Nintendo has eve rout out. I just felt insulted by Nintendo's lack of shit to give. One of the most lazy, cynical and bland games Ninrendo has ever put out and is easily the worst entry of the Super Mario series. Truly the low point of the franchise. People will say but what about Mario is Missing and Hotel Mario? Well first off, I never played them and secondly, this was made by Nintendo themselves so I feel NSMB 2 deserves extra scorn and criticism as they can do a hell of a lot better than what they produced here.
