WTF went wrong? 1 is one of the best first games of a video game series ever and 4 is one of the best games ever made but GOD 2 sucks so much. The super annoying intro sequence, the annoying first level with the annoying alarm clock. Overall the entire game is annoying which is a shame since Wario games tend to be amazing.

I think 2 and 3 are great and 1 and 4 are bad. Just a matter of taste. They're basically different series

WL2 was pretty fun although you couldn’t die

>> No.7860035

the only good Wario game is Wario blast and he wasn't even supposed to be in it originally. He's a game thief. They couldn't make a proper sequel to SML2 so they did this Wario bullshit as well.

That being said, you might be in to something calling it the weakest.

That was one of the best features. It made the game really relaxing and shifted the focus to exploration and puzzle solving.

This is the worst in the series and is more or less just a prototype for 3 which did all of this game's ideas 1000x better. 3 is actually my favorite, the immortality concept in these two games is completely unlike any other game I've ever played.

The fact that you can't die actually makes it more tedious, because instead of getting "hurt" it just means every attack knocks you off a cliff and makes you re-do a 5minute platforming sequence

How can you hate on 1? It started the series. I can acknowledge that people have different opinions but could you kindly explain to me what you like about 2 and 3 and dislike so much about 1 and 4 and how exactly are those two different series in your opinion? Would you kindly elaborate?

I HATE the fact when you can NOT die. The shaky game for the Wii could be awesome but the fact you can not die ruins the game for me. To this day I wish that someone will release a rom hack where enemies KILL ME.
Kirby's Epic Yarn turned into Epic Yawn for me because of nothing can hurt you. Why would a game in god mode be any fun? It used to be a cheat and now it's a game feature wtf?
Like if people enjoy it fine by me give them this option but like me have a proper game with an actual challenge so let me toggle god mode on and off for crying out loud.

see above, also this is literally a Wario game. Also in Warioland 2 and especially 3, purposefully getting hit to get transformation effects and explore further was a big mechanic. In Kirby and Wario it's just invincibility, no clever use of the immortality for fun things like being squashed flat to squeeze through gaps.

Not even him but have you never played an arcade game? Score attack means you aim for the highest score possible similar to how time attack involves aiming for the lowest time.

They're basically puzzle platformers, or scrollin' & solvin', like Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle or Moai Kun, except with much bigger levels.
Dying would only make things worse, especially considering some of the Wario game salready punishes you for failing by having you backtrack a long way.

This being said I guess you could replace the backtracking by dying with checkpoints, and that would be an improvement, but it would take to change way too much of the game.

I love II as much as 4. The only Wario games I can't stand is 3 and Master of Disguise. I found these two to be utterly boring and just plain bad.

>> No.7861813

>>7860089
1 felt really slow and 4 had a lot of little things I didn't like. The music and visuals were more grotesque than charming like in the previous games, I didn't like the hurry up sections (especially when were secrets to find on the way back), and it was sometimes unclear what would damage you and what wouldn't (spears hurt you but arrows inflate you). I've tried it a few times because I want to love it as a big fan of 2 and 3 but I just can't.
