Why does this game make people seethe so much?

Is it too perfect, too perfect?
>>
Not liking something doesn't equal 'seething'.
>>
>>12057943
I think you have this game confused with the n64 sequel. People are largely positive on this. Its the n64 one that sucks

Play literally anything besides you're shitty 5 SNES games. You queers are a plague.

>>12057943
It's casualized compared to SMW because you always have ranged attacks with the eggs and tongue, you can float, and when you get hit you can always recover by retrieving the baby.
For me it's the perfect amount of difficulty though. YI is the "just right" porridge between SMW and Yoshi's Story.

It's good, but Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country are clearly the superior choices. It's easy to look at da gwaffix and late release and just assume that it's automatically better, but at some point you need to have some sentience and thinking for yourself.

Why are you guys engaging in cringe console warring in the year 2025 while also claiming you're 40 years old?

https://desuarchive.org/vr/thread/12052643/#12052643

You literally get a panic attack whenever a guy thinks a Nintendo game is "meh, I guess it's ok, not my favorite thing but it's playable, has some flaws though". Every deviation from "this game is my personal saint, my religion, my everything, and everyone who doesn't believe that way should be killed for heretic thoughts" causes a breakdown. You're mentally ill and need therapy.
>>12058035
Point in case, this fucker spams the same shit in every thread like this, he literally has a mental breakdown when people don't hold Nintendo sacred.
>>
>>12058182
>mental breakdown
That's funny, but the actual spamming autist on the board is a flamming anti-nintendo schizo
>>
>>12057943
Its mostly 80 IQ retards here. They have bad taste in games, bad taste in music, bad taste in films (and you can just cross literature off from the list, these people are barely literate). And they typically have un-fucking-believably dumb schizo views about the world. I wouldn't take their commentary on art seriously for the same reason I wouldn't take them seriously on pretty much anything else.

>>12057961
It shouldn't be compared at all to SMW (it shouldn't be compared to any Mario for that matter). Apples and oranges. SMV was all about traditional platforming and discovering secret exits. YI was a much more unique spin on platforming, one that was more laid back, one that had a slight 'shooter' element to it, and one in which its challenge resided exclusively with 100%ing everything. It's obviously more 'kid-friendly' with its merciful ease of just playing it straightforward. But with stages like 'More Monkey Madness' the game will still deliver on the challenge if you're looking for it (especially if you don't use any health refills). The art is beautiful and full of soul. The level design was impeccable (albeit more linear and conventional in terms of no secret exits). The boss battles were clever and memorable. The soundtrack is great (albeit a bit scant). There's really nothing wrong with the game and most of the criticism from the peanut gallery here amounts to little more than 'waaaa, I don't like collectathons'.

You are a retard. The soundtrack is the best part of the game

It's a very, very shitty concept and the worst part is that it pretends to be Super Mario World 2 (Nintendo literally spitting in the fans face and telling them they're only making games for themselves, which led to the direction the N64 and GC took).
>>
>>12058980
>shitty
I'm convinced.
I stopped liking this game now.
>>
>>12058985
You're absolutely entitled to enjoy shit.

>>12058996
No, you convinced me. Strong arguments.
>>
>>12058182
Omg sex

>>12058980
Nigga, the boss fights in YI are so superior to the boring shit in SMW it's not even funny.

Not just SMW but most other games as well. It's boss fights are simply absolutely legendary and memorable.
>>
just did a full playthrough of this game after passing on it for so many years. it's no SMW, but it's definitely a good one.

I think my main issue with it is that it is not an "athletics" type of game, there's no run and slide under blocks, the float jump eliminates precision jumping, the high float after bouncing off enemies just does not feel as good as a regular bounce, no sliding down slopes (yes I know there is one area with water running down slopes, you don't even carry momentum from that)

still fun but I think it's closer to a Kirby game than Mario
>>
>>12059558
It's an exploration game retard, not a platformer.

Anon, this is /vr/. You don't have to start threads with ragebait.

It has a lot of tight precision platforming though.
Non-platformer exploration games don't have bottomless pits.
The flutter jump is not that different from Mario using the cape/tanuki tail to hover a bit. It can be misleading if not peoperly timed, plus when Yoshi gets knocked out by an enemy, he can't instantly float, he just falls.
>>
>>12057943
>Why does this game make people seethe so much?
They killed 2D Mario for this lame, shitty vanity product that failed to sell hardware. Also what >>12058980 said.
>>
>>12059579
you're fucking retarded bro, on par with that anon who claims Silent Hill is a Zelda clone
>>
>>12059715
It's still not going to work.
>>
>>12058015
SMB3 is just casualized SMB2
>>
>>12059707
the flutter is a lot stronger than the cape, and it's an inherent ability so you can't ever lose it. and I think it's more fun to pick up a fire flower. but anyway YI is a great game, just that calling it SMW2 gave me different expectations on what kind of game it was supposed to be.
>>
>>12059738
The game didn't work back when it released, yeah. Nintendo should be grateful to the britbongs of Rareware for DKC.
>>
>>12059930

>>12059764
SMB2 was originally a game called Yume Koujou DokiDoki Panic in Japan
>>
>>12057943
I'll tell you why, anon.

It's because the killjoys on this board can't stand how perfect this game is. This game has more story and heart conveyed with barely any dialogue than nearly any other Mario game, aside from Paper Mario, of course.

The beautiful tropic environments, skyline, quirky art direction, and MUSIC especially all blend together to make this game truly special.]

The Athletic Theme quite literally instantaneously got me out of my teen hood depression better than any woke therapist or pill ever could. This game is just too cheerful for other people on this board to take, and that's why they hate it.

As a Zoomer who's quite literally thought about this game for 7 years, I can say with certainty that this game is one of Nintendo's master works. The BADASS fight with Baby Bowser at the end really sells this game home, too.

Not to mention the ending is just so, SO sweet. The brothers finally meeting their parents was so heartwarming.

This game has withstood the test of time. It will go down in history as one of the greatest games ever made. Fuck Roblox and Fork-knife and labubu or whatever the fuck, THIS game is the shit that matters.
>>
>>12059541
Absolutely FUCKING BASED.

what the fuck is up with these "why" threads appearing in the catalogue lately. they all seem identical.

i never played it and personally it just never felt like part of the zeitgeist to me, i guess because it was a late snes release and i was more interested in new consoles. but at the same time so was donkey kong country and i loved that game and felt like its presence was everywhere.
>>
Takes a while to get difficult, which has convinced impatient players that it is too easy.
Getting 100 pts every stage is very hard tho.
>>
>>12060207
>Getting 100 pts every stage is very hard
No, it's merely very annoying. Getting 100% in Yoshi DS is very hard (because it's the same shitty concept but this time handled by incompetent devs).
>>
>>12060393
>concept
At this point you're obsessed with this game dude. Go out, it's Saturday night. Not worth it spending it seething at a popular retro game.
>>
>>12060421
Babysitting a toddler while sniffing for red coins and flowers is one hell of a shitty concept.
>>
>>12060430
Keep thinking about a game you don't like. It will still be popular no matter what you try.
>>
>>12060650
>It will still be popular
It's not popular outside of your echo chamber actually.
>>
>>12057943
It's perfect, and I've never seen anyone seethe about it because I don't venture outside of my comfort zone unnecessarily. The game is 30 years old, its legacy is cemented forever. There's no need to care about this.
>>
I dropped the game in the last world after hearing the fucking insanely loud high pitched squeal for the hundreth fucking time. its like that incredibly annoying DANGER DANGER sound in zelda or metroid when youre low life which is bad enough, but thats nothing compared to the mario crying like a bitch. its fucking inexcusable and terrible game design. I do not play games to be aggravated for no reason. god forbid theres someone else in earshot while youre playing the game, sheer humiliation ritual. losing my life and starting from a checkpoint is punishment enough, holy shit. WHO THE FUCK DECIDED THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA

the rest of the game isnt great either outside of the graphics. shooting eggs isnt fun. dkc absolutely rapes this game in every single facet.
>>
>>12061159
Remember, it's Super Mario World 2.
