Thoughts on Tetris The Grandmaster? Is the exam mechanic in 3 good or bad design? Favourite TGM game?

who told you that

After thoroughly enjoying Warioland II, I decided to play the first Warioland since I heard it was better than the second one. Unfortunately, I'm not having a good time with this game.
Most of my problems with the game revolve around Wario himself. First, he moves and jumps at a snail's pace; furthermore, the ability to take damage and shrink is quite annoying, especially when combined with the first issue. Compared to Warioland II, Wario in Super Mario Land 3 feels like a neutered version of Mario. Admittedly, the game does have 'MARIO' in the name, but that still doesn't change the fact that playing as Wario is not a fun time.
There are some parts of the game I do like, such as:
>Sprites
>Level design (for the most part)
>The hat system
But to me, they don't balance out the bad stuff. This is all just my opinion, and I can see why some people would enjoy this game. What are your thoughts on Warioland 1?
>>
Wario being slower and bulkier made sense to me, dashing and tackling enemies was and and different, more aggressive than Mario games. Also ground pound.
I honestly feel like it's an amazing game.
I never played II though, or the others except for Virtual Boy Wario Land which I loved as well
>>
>>12717449
I understand Wario feeling bulkier, but I personally think Warioland II was slightly better when it came to making Wario feel like a walking tank.
Perhaps I was too harsh when writing the original post
>>
Warioland 2 is the best of the three. 3 is close, but annoying because it doles out your base abilities really slowly and makes you backtrack through the same levels repeatedly. 1 is just incredibly slow, clunky and boring, a really half baked concept that 2 got right.
>>
Warioland 1 has short levels and you can move faster when you have the Flightcap. Or when you're charging.
>>
For me 1 is insanely replayable, meanwhile 2 and 3 are the sort of puzzle based games that are kinda boring to replay once you know the solutions to the puzzles.
I especially can't stand WL3 anymore, it's funny how you can tell who played those games or not because there are often people claiming that 2 and 3 sucks because "you're invicible" when in reality the punishment for getting hit even just ONCE in WL3 often sends you back at least as much if not more than in most platformers.

Anyway I had all 3 as a kid, I've 100%'d all 3 and played them many times; so there is that. But for, now, some 25-30 years later, I wouldn't even think of replaying 3. Everytime I think of replaying 2, I just end up giving up on the game after a few levels out of boredom; but 1, I'll always go through the entire game again.

This is actually, legitimately the single biggest flaw of that questline. It's close to being something you could piece together without being told, but the name 'poacher's saw' throws you off and prevents you from seeing the natural connection it has to the carpenters.

Just finished this and boy does it go down the crapper at the ending. The final level is way too short and simple, the boss sucks, and everything gets resolved way too fast.
Also making Jade some kind of super special girl with unexplained superpowers was beyond unnecessary, and kinda shits all over the theme of a concerned citizen making a difference through sheer bravery and grit.
All the stuff on Hillys is very good though. Good characters, good story, good level design, cool setting and atmosphere. Very stylish and polished for a 2003 adventure game. Easy to see why it became a cult classic.

The game as a whole is basically like playing through the Child portion of OoT, anticipating the time you'll get to travel to the future, only the game ends just as that happens and baits you for a sequel instead.

That's the best way I think to describe it. A genuine 10/10 that's blatantly not close to having been finished in spite of how good it otherwise is.
>>
>>12718463
>A genuine 10/10

It's a pretty good game. Of course Zelda fans hate it because it doesn't feed their autism enough.

Limited discussion of video processing and scaling devices is alright, but remember to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories.

Maybe something like, "Still acting sour to hide that you like me?" or "Were you an asshole to all your past crushes too?". Think that gets the intended point across better without weeb words or whatever fragile male ego was suppose to convey.

never got a chance to play any Mario RPG as a kid, I enjoyed all the music of course and the humor is cute too, but thats not enough for me to finish a game. I might check it out and enjoy it for a few hours but if there is no active challenge or friction happening I would rather be engaging my brain with a more challenging activity that feels gratifying after you do it.

There are games meant for kids that are still challenging as balls. Fuck, even Kirby has a *little* bit of challenge unlike this game.

It sounds fucking dumb, and I would've disliked it if you'd asked me about the "fragile male ego" line in a vacuum, but it sounds like a lot of fragile male egos were legitimately triggered over nothing here and I'm glad you crybaby faggots got your feelings hurt.

That's what immediately came to mind as the most accurate approximation of tsundere, but the reason it wasn't used is pretty obvious. It would be insulting to real life people who are bipolar etc etc etc. Goddamn do I hate woke faggots.

sega was not intrinsic to games being good back then. sega was allowed to exist because the market was different. i always see sega fans acting like the scene would be different if sega was still around, or if sega came back they would make a bunch of epic sequels to games that *they* played as a kid (which demonstrates a fundemental misunderstanding of the company back then to begin with), and they totally wouldnt have the cancers of paid online or microtransactions or digital only or live service trash, when those are things necessary to survive in the current market
