The game mechanics feel shoddy. Shooting eggs isn't really that fun.

The fact that the game grades you after every level encourages treating it like a collectathon, which makes it even more unfun than it is normally.

Baby Mario's whining.

>> No.2385420

>>2385358

- Well, it's an opinion, though will be pretty alone with that one, most people obviously enjoy Yoshi's abilities, which I am one of too, I find the shoothing very precise, just press L to fix the crosshair in place before shooting. Also the egg mechanic fits Yoshi very well.

- Adds replay value. You can finish the game without caring about the collectables, you get nothing gameplay- wise from 100% it, no special ending, no new move, nothing. But if your inner collector wins he will be pleased.

All those opinions are very valid. I mean, I don't agree with them, but I can understand it. "music gets annoying", "mini-games are stupid", etc. Don't agree but that stuff is subjective as fuck. I enjoyed the mini-games VS the bandit, they're fun as fuck. The item-farming bonuses are just standard casino-type games, nothing great and Kamek is kind of an asshole in that panel flipping one.

Nobody is really saying the game has a major flaw. This was one of the best platformers of its era, and people still play it nowdays for the gameplay alone, besides of the kiddy (yet amazingly done) graphics or Yoshi's sexuality.

This. I don't understand who the fuck came up with that shit. Made me not want to buy the game.

As for the game. I guess my only complaint would be that I feel the game lacks replay value. I played it twice overall and while I don't mind playing it again, I am not actively looking to do so. But that's just looking for flaws.

I dunno, I just don't find Yoshi's Island that fun post world 1.

Its got a lot of tedious and gimmick levels. It has more then its fair share of auto-scrollers. The castles are boring, and the bosses are usually tedious and not that fun to fight,

The final showdown was pretty stupid imo.

I dunno, I think its a good game still, but people hail it like its perfect.

That being said, I don't really like any games in the Mario series. This and mario sunshine are probably te only ones I really honestly enjoyed.

It's the reason Miyamoto gave for not collaborating with Software Creations on Plok. That is, he was working on something that was too similar.

I don't think it's fair to blame YI, though, since he never said which game he was working on at the time (though no other game of his in 1993 would fit)

You mean just like any other fanbase? I seriously don't know what the hell people like you expect when you dive into threads full of fans discussing a game and start shouting that it's shit.

>> No.2387919

(1) If you want to play all the bonus levels, you have to autistically collect EVERY red coin on EVERY level, and EVERY star on EVERY level, since you must end the level with a perfect score. And if you get hit or miss a red coin on a forced scrolling level, you must start over.

(2) The jump mechanics are too floaty (even without the "air wiggle" move), especially if you prefer SMB2(J) or SMB3.

(3) It's too easy. There's zero challenge unless you go for all the bonus levels, but that's more annoying than fun.

(4) The default controls for shooting eggs are inherently inferior to the "hold the button and release" controls. While a minor gripe, it still pisses me off that I need to change it when the alternative is objectively better.

(5) Baby Mario is a crying little bitch.

Boring level design. Every level feels the same. This isn't helped by the fact that they chose mostly drab colors with low contrast. The scenery in every level feels like colored clothes that have gone through the laundry too many times. They relied too much on the egg throwing and baby-in-a-bubble mechanic. The whole game revolves around these two features. Novelty wears out very quickly.

>> No.2389425
