FinalGamer posted:On the one hand I do agree with this. On the other hand, aren't Mario games meant to be well-reputed to be the kind of game you can just pick up and play and learn straight from the get-go? It's not a Mario game, it's a Yoshi game

Supersonic Buddha posted:Assuming it's the main character (who loving knows at this point?), it would break out of a long-running tradition of always having a male lead character, which could trend into breaking out of other traditions. A Link Between worlds took out the linearity of the dungeons, something that hasn't really been done since the original Zelda... kind of. It seems to me like they know how stale the series has gotten. So by making the main character a girl instead of a boy, that can maybe possibly make them change other gameplay stuff that will actually shake up the series? Then you use an example of a game that kept link a boy and just shook up the series by changing gameplay stuff? I'm not really seeing how that answers my question at all but w/e

Somethingdumb posted:If we lived in a world where everything was already equal and a fair amount of resources went into developing games with female leads, you might have a point. But we don't, so you don't. Sorry, but the evidence is pretty clear when there are a lot of good zelda games were link has a willy, but only bad zelda games where link has a hoo-ha. Some games are just better or worse depending on the gender of the main character. This is why series like Atelier, Neptunia and Senran Kagura have literally every important character in every game be a woman.

TechnoSyndrome posted:In Yoshi's Island the experienced player and the new player might as well be playing different games. my problem with this argument is that all it does is lead to some neat speedruns, but seeing as how sonic 2006 also leads to neat speedruns and "might as well be a different game" in the hands of an experienced player, that means nothing. the base game isn't fun so that you want to get that good at it, especially since as you just admitted the game never really NEEDS the player to step up their game the way something like say viewtiful joe does. also, no amount of skill at getting past the awkward egg throwing controls will ever fix the annoying as hell jump sounds yoshi makes. darealkooky fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Sep 11, 2014 |

MassRafTer posted:I can understand the mindset that it's not a great game if you have to 100% it to get the most out of it, I don't understand the mindset it isn't a fun game to play. comparing yoshi's island to sonic 2006 is a blatantly unfair point, it's just fun to be extreme and make extreme points. If you aren't super good at yoshi's island then it's just a mario game, only you don't go as fast and killing enemies takes longer and the levels sometimes require you to do some exploring stuff but not in a way that's really interesting the way say, metroid is.

the shooting in metroid or contra is just fine, and you can hit every general angle you can in yoshi's island (and for the few cases where you REALLY need to aim, sure, have the crosshair thing)

Captain Lavender posted:If you take Super Mario World (usually in contention with SMB3 for the best mario game out there), and then add awesome visual style, several gameplay mechanics, collectibles, and more variation between worlds, then you have Yoshi's Island. this makes zero sense, the two games play differently in literally every single aspect besides a few shared enemies, even down to the basic physics behind how your character moves saying something like "If you take Super Mario World (usually in contention with SMB3 for the best mario game out there), and then add awesome visual style, several gameplay mechanics, collectibles, and more variation between worlds, then you have Sonic 3" makes the same amount of sense

man I forgot just how loving stupid this game is. You can't ever die (unless you get a brain aneurysm from baby mario or somehow fall down one of the games rare cliffs when you have a hover jump), none of the enemies are challenging because you can either just devour them instantly or throw an egg and kill everything in the room, and the exploration is dumb because it's not an interconnected overworld or anything cool, it's just sidescrolling mazes and you don't get any sort of reward for going through them besides getting to do more sidescrolling mazes. What is the fun in playing this game, besides looking at how pretty it is or speedrunning it? At least kirby games give you variety in all sorts of new powers to trash enemies with and have co-op, in this game it's just the same goddamn yoshi over and over and over. like, look at the boss at the end of this video. his gimmick is that he becomes an easier loving target to hit as you damage him but not actually any more dangerous, that's the exact opposite of how a boss should work darealkooky fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Sep 21, 2014 |

only in mario world you can actually die from enemies/failing to jump, every level isn't a ghost house and the secret stuff is just a singular secret path in levels that are clearly marked that give you meaningful rewards like cool secret levels or shortcuts through the game instead of how you're supposed to progress through the game normally

FinalGamer posted:In any other game a health bar would be fine and no one would care. If you had a health bar in this game, it would literally not be different from any other game. You are unironically saying that a mario game needs a mechanic that's intentionally unfun because it's realistic. The game where the cartoony dinosaur mutant eats turtles and turns them into eggs and can also transform into a car, and is doing so to protect a baby who sometimes dons a superman cape and runs up walls, needs an incredibly lovely and annoying feature because it makes it more realistic.

it's a flaw because it's a lovely way to fix a premise that's essentially just an extra annoying version of picking up your rings in sonic it doesn't matter if it's thematic and makes sense and has reasons for doing it when the fundamental result sucks and only had to be in the game because they arbitrarily decided to make it different from mario

Who thought "hit this target with eggs three times so it slowly raises a thing up and you can get by" was a good idea? It's just 5something seconds of you standing there doing busywork.
