Dyne's Blog - May 18th - BaB forces me to play Paper Mario

You know, as much as I've harped on it, I think it's actually pretty good. Even though it shamelessly recycles a lot of Mario RPG's good points, it overall works. It falls flat (ohoho) in some areas, but I'm hoping they resolve as I play through.

Ok, I finished Chapter "1" in Paper Mario and got the first star. Are you happy BaB.

Very happy.
Now we need details, what worked. What didn't work.

How it feels to play more than 5 mins.

Well a lot of it seems familiar. I'm wondering if I did watch my brother do the first chapter. I DO remember that I played maybe half an hour, and not five minutes, but wasn't saving - and it bittered the experience for me. But VC is way, way more convenient.

I'm just glad to see timed attacks back. Those really worked in Mario RPG. Personally, I don't like the two-in-a-party situation because it puts too much focus on Mario. But maybe I'll warm up to it.

The two people in a party but not really two does take some getting use to.

And it's been a while since I've played who is in your party at the end of the first chapter. I know you have the goomba.

It's Goombario, Kooper, and Bombette. Not bad. I like Kooper the best so far though.

Some cool characters.
I believe the first one sticks to it more than the sequel and alot more than Super Paper Mario, but I like that your buddies are all enemies in other Mario games.

And for some reason don't remember you getting a party that fast, I believe it is slower in the other two games.
