i still think this is one of the most well-designed and most charming games of all time, it's probably one of my top 5 ever. it just had great characters and enemies, a good world, and the badge system kept combat from being too monotonous. zap tap is the most fun badge and watt and parakarry are the best partners

>>6123701
Any game with linear turn order is easily solved IMO. This isn’t necessarily a criticism, I still love these games, but after a while you’re just leveraging the expected amount of damage you’re going to take and it’s fairly predictable. Even if an enemy seems “deadly,” you still are basically just working a math problem. Timed hits add an element of skill but PM doesn’t take it very far.

Two of the worst RPGs for any system. Quest 64 I can kind of write off as incomplete but had some good ideas even if the execution was horrible.

Aidyn Chronicles is by far not only the worst RPG of its generation, it might be the worst game on the 64. It is the harbinger of all the soulless, ugly, and empty console RPGs to come. There is nothing redeemable about it.

I absolutely loved Mario RPG and it's one of the reasons I kind of regret getting a chink super everdrive instead of sd2snes

Can't remember Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga but the GBA library was fuckin lit, spent months playing great game after the other so honestly I don't recall much besides the sick spriteart and goofy sense of humor

I really should play Paper Mario
