Gunvalkyrie2 10/12/17 12:06:39 AM #1:	Their games are always well made BUT isn't it weird that all reviewers love every franchise/characters nintendo makes? I've never understood the appeal of Mario as a character and i really need to like the characters i play AS not just have well made games. Being well made is just an aspect to gaming for me - am i alone in this?

Do you expect complex character depth in a game about a plumber rescuing a princess from a spiky turtle king? I'd say it helped Sonic, but I guess that's besides the point. Who said you need a "complex" character to have a story? Mario & Luigi Superstar Sage is the perfect example of how Mario with a story could look like. Has the charm and humor of any other Mario game, but a legitimate story that is continuous throughout a series of games. Hell, what they're doing with Odyssey and what was done with Galaxy is a step in the right direction imo. Just needs to be connected. If there was a little more exposition, they wouldn't be too far off from the "Sonic" series you're comparing it to. Odyssey's premise and theme reminds me a lot about Sonic Unleashed. Mario (Sonic) meets a cute new ally that may or may not be connected to the final boss, and the two travel the globe to fix the turmoil their respective villains have caused. --- Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-3032-7898-9500 http://psnprofiles.com/Terraforce777 http://miiverse.nintendo.net/users/Rayquaza487 <cite>Terra-enforcer posted [p:888273140] in Why is eve...

Last year the 3DS upcoming games looked completely dead, but every few months a couple games get announced and shortly released. With the Switch they have a bunch of games with no solid release dates, so you're basically being strung along for years hoping the games you actually want might be coming out soon or next year. You'd have to have the attention span of a lemming to put up with that shit. <cite>Raikuro posted [p:888273305] in Why is eve...

Who said you need a "complex" character to have a story? Mario & Luigi Superstar Sage is the perfect example of how Mario with a story could look like. Has the charm and humor of any other Mario game, but a legitimate story that is continuous throughout a series of games. Hell, what they're doing with Odyssey and what was done with Galaxy is a step in the right direction imo. Just needs to be connected. If there was a little more exposition, they wouldn't be too far off from the "Sonic" series you're comparing it to. Odyssey's premise and theme reminds me a lot about Sonic Unleashed. Mario (Sonic) meets a cute new ally that may or may not be connected to the final boss, and the two travel the globe to fix the turmoil their respective villains have caused. I literally just played a game where Sonic jumped into the Presidents limo so he could infiltrate a moon base that Eggmans father developed. Mario should never do anything like that and it has never come close. Don't worry mario will never do anything but the princess/castle bit and sell millions baded on people wanting to jump on platforms. --- #BanBlobboyendings <cite>Gunvalkyrie2 posted [p:888273315] in Why is eve...

Do you expect complex character depth in a game about a plumber rescuing a princess from a spiky turtle king?</quote> I'd say it helped Sonic, but I guess that's besides the point.

It's done plenty of stuff. It's just based around gameplay concepts instead of story and character development. Mario Galaxy's world makes no sense. Neither does using a hat character to possess people. But who cares? It's fun. That's what matters. That's why Mario has stuck around for this long. Varied level design and concepts. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:888273387] in Why is eve...
