Paper Mario was never good though

>It's better because I can masturbate to bugs

This man gets it.

>Kickstarter game isn't even out yet
>I can say for certain it surpasses this other game
Fuck right off, and I'm even looking forward to this game coming out.

Samefag.

>he doesn't masturbate to bugs

Making animal/insect main characters and not putting clothes on them is retarded. I knew Yooka Laylee would be shit just from seeing the main characters, and this game is no different.

Finally someone said it.

>LOOK MOM I MADE THIS THREAD AGAiN
>haha this game is terrible fuck off shilldev spic :)
>i'm shilling it but only ironically

>it's a kickstarter spiritual successor episode
What could possibly go wrong? how do you fucking faggots never learn

Devs are super nice.
Don't be a huge tool and pretend they're starting console wars.

hat in time turned out good though

>hes not cranking to bugs

Demo is out tho

If this is some 4d chess to make people hate your kickstarter game it's working.

Not even him, but I unironically enjoyed the couple hours from the demo more than anything from Paper Mario. Sorry to hear that you can't accept a different opinion.

Nothing stings worse for me as a fan of Banjo-Kazooie than the fact that Hat in Time kicked the absolute shit out of Yooka-Layee. Really sours me on Playtonic in general.

Hat in Time really is great, though.

I wonder what indie dev is so jealous of Bug that they want to poorly false flag like this.

Stop shilling your shit game you fucking faggot

But user, that' a plant!

It looked decent, but the setting looks boring as fuck and it all just feels like it’d turn out to be a discount Paper Mario rather than a spiritual successor.

Why is the game a carbon copy of original Paper Mario except worse? Why couldn't they change a single thing? Why could they add modifiers to the level up system? Why don't character actions happen if you press and hold the action button but not if you just tap it? Why do I keep getting stuck to walls? Why does the art look like ass? Is the demo's writing any indication of how the final game is going to be written? Part of what made Paper Mario charming is the writing, so why are they half assing it?
Literally everything that isn't copied from Mario is ass.

Probably just someone sick of the threads.

>He doesn't recognize satire
Getting mad there, BugDev? Maybe you should stop shilling your game here.

It's not an ebin spiritual successor
It just tried to be a good 3D platformer, and it was

>Why don't character actions happen if you press and hold the action button but not if you just tap it?
Man that's some autistic nit picking.

Also, it's a demo.

>a dev team of old rare members
>but none of the coders or levels designers
Wow who would have saw it coming

>shilling this hard
fuck off, your game looks fucking worse than N64.

Reminder that these threads are created by an autist who is trying to condition Sup Forums to hate this game.

It's a really bad demo that doesn't show anything original.
What are they changing from Paper Mario? How are they improving on the formula?

>Thread is about spiritual successors in general
>Immediately fills with Paperbug fags
And you guys say you aren't shilling on Sup Forums.

>A Hat in Time is a 3D collect-a-thon platformer in the spirit of the beloved Nintendo and Rare games from the Nintendo 64 era.
>in the spirit
it touted itself as one but I agree that the final product was actually pretty unique

Let's be real too, No one talks about an in-development fan game every single day unless there are daily progress updates, and it has been every single day for the past several days, so that's pretty suspect all by itself.

Hahaha pretty cool game OP, anyone know where to donate?

Let’s not pretend that it wasn’t advertised that way for some extra Nintendo shekels, because it was.

Yeah too bad people can't filter or ignore threads
I've just been follow bugdev for a long ass time and I don't wanna see Sup Forums's general asshat nonsense fuck it up before it can even take off

>If it's not a 1:1 successor, it's shit
Please
>Thread about a topic
>has on top posting
Holy fuck

>muh conspiracy theories
>i-it's part of a bigger plan!!

Falseflagging aside, it's an ok project, but they really need to iron out some details, the UI feels too amateurish still. There are some small things that don't feel right, like the fact that the star points are awarded before the enemy totally disappears, instead of gradually increasing as they come out of the enemy.

>trying this hard to pretend you aren’t a dev
Fuck off to literally anywhere else to advertise your shit game.

>it's a 1:1 rip off, so it's good
Do you think the game will even be allowed to release? Do you think Nintendo isn't on a witch hunt at the moment?

It's not really imo, nothing stopped or stops people from posting multiple daily generals back when, mostly from not checking the catalog, I don't see much of a difference

Plus we've had bugdev post before I think, he's a nice guy and pretty obv when he's posting.

>MY conspiracy theories are better than YOURS!

but is correct
it's not really a conspiracy, it's probably just one guy doing it for the luls

its incredibly obvious you moron

Are you unable to imagine someone having a differing opinion?

Don't you have another game to TORtanic?
I didn't imply that all.

>Plus we've had bugdev post before I think, he's a nice guy and pretty obv when he's posting.

>No one would ever post Anonymously on Sup Forums, if they use a trip once they'll use it forever!

>All these posts at the exact same time defending BugDev
Hmm... I wonder who could be responsible for this... maybe a group... of shills...

>Sorry to hear that you can't accept a different opinion.
But you also clearly can't handle a different opinion, going by your incredibly passive-aggressive post.

Not when it's more beneficial to be honest about it. Which devs do here.

Why make an anonymous post when you could post as yourself and people would flock to the thread?

I think the original post was likely someone involved with the project shilling
The most recent threads, especially this one, are blatantly someone pretending to be a supporter of the game
I'm a Sup Forums expert, kiddo, I think I'd know.

>but I unironically enjoyed the couple hours from the demo more than anything from Paper Mario
I know this is a lie because there's literally nothing differentiating it from Paper Mario

no, we're just sick of faggots abusing their anonymity in a 32 layered falseflag game

>Do you think the game will even be allowed to release? Do you think Nintendo isn't on a witch hunt at the moment?
When has a game ever been shut down just because the artstyle was vaguely similar? This isn't someone doing a fan game for Paper Mario, they're making their own IP and it looks kinda like Paper Mario.

Personally I really liked the demo and I think the game shows a lot of promise. I'm most likely going to back it. But too many threads have been made, and now it's going to be impossible to actually talk about the game once it's out because of all the retards who will scream "SHILL" every time a future thread is made. The game will forever be seen as negative due to all of the stupid horseshit that has been going on in these threads.

It's a damn shame. I hope the game doesn't suffer because of it.

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and guess that the guy trying to start the hate train on this game is the same guy who was making a game based on his maplestory OC that got mad at paoerbugdev for actually making a game.

god damn I hate praying mantises

>doesn’t even deny that he’s a dev, just tries to deflect

Do your part

>art style
try the entire game style, nigger.
Name one gameplay mechanics in it that isn't in Paper Mario

>we're just sick of faggots abusing their anonymity
...Then it sounds like Sup Forums is probably not the place for you.

Same here. There's some potential for the game (though from what I played from the demo, there's still some hiccups with its core) and the shill is probably just one falseflagger who wants to give the game a bad rep. I do think the criticisms about its art are true though, there are some inconsistencies and it does look a tad bit unprofessional.

Chubee is best bug, needs some lewd art

Idk OP post reeks of cringe console wars faggot and I haven't really seen that lately

Cept when it's obvious bait

Ok even if that is true, so what? When has any game been shut down for playing similar to another? Literally, when has that EVER happened? (Also I haven't played the demo)

its almost like... people are in this thread... right now.... to talk about the topic outlined by OP...

its almost like... there can be two sides.... to this topic...

what a shocking revelation, you fucking idiot

Not him, but name one thing that could legally get this game shut down by Nintendo.

Maybe you should try reddit then. They'll probably love your shitty Paper Mario ripoff there.

exactly

I don't think you played the demo.or care about anything other than watching some indie game fail

You know if there are two sides to any topic you shouldn't get so upset when people discuss the other side.

...

not interested in a shitty indie ripoff
factually incorrect

My only real complaints with the game are the sub-par art assets. And the completely unimaginative names for the main characters. Other than that though everything seems pretty solid. It's everything I would want out of a Paper Mario game, which is perfectly fine by me.

It's the literal definition of plagiarism.
Let me put it this way, if Paper Mario was in any way different, this game would reflect that change.

>rips off literally everything from Paper Mario
>IT MUST BE THE FALSEFLAGGER GIVING THE GAME A BAD REP

it doesn't have stickers and toads everywhere, not even the audience from TTYD or superguard

Blown
The
Fuck
Out

Yeah remember when Overwatch was shut down because it played similar to TF2? Man that was nuts.
>plagiarism
I don't think you know what that word means. Here, let me help you.
>Plagiarism - the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.
You see (and I know this is difficult to grasp) they came up with their own IP and merely copied the artstyle. I can link a definition for artstyle too if you need it.

Since you seemed to have misunderstood the question, I'll ask again. Name one thing that could, on a legal basis, get this game shut down.

Your plagiarism claim is substantial at best. Yes, I can absolutely see where you're coming from, as all of the mechanics and artstyle are quite similar. But an argument like that would NOT hold up in court unless Nintendo had patents/copyrights on the Paper Mario mechanics and artstyle.

Should South Park Stick of Truth have been shut down as well?

Oh I guess that's ok then. I guess Nintendo isn't going to do anything when they see their design framework ripped completely from the stem.
Plagiarism only applies to characters and stickers

False flagging is disingenuous and isn't "discussion". Of course though, according to you, defending against this bait technique is being a shill. Do you even know what your trying to argue anymore?

>rips off literally everything from Paper Mario
>Except Mario and the gang
Ok?

they won't
they can't
there's no reason to

You're a retard. Nintendo wouldn't have a strong enough case for this. The court would throw it out on day one.

Except for the better battle system, more interesting character designs, more challenge, better resolution... it's just more fun.

Overwatch is similar, not the same. TF2 doesn't have kill moves and Overwatch doesn't have multiple weapons for each character.
This game is a straight rip

If the game turned out good or bad I wouldn’t care one way or another, but the fact that you’re straight up shitposting to gain some traction for a subpar looking indie game is dumb as fuck.

>they came up with their own IP and merely copied the artstyle

And the mechanics

Block the thread
Not really, there's discussing the game 'discussing the game' (the typical thing where you've never touched it but feel free to state how terrible it plays/mechanic are) or bitch about shilling

One if these is not on 'the other side if the coin'
One of these is autism

>This game is a straight rip

So which part of the demo uses Nintendo owned assets and designs senpai?

You said in your original post "its almost like... there can be two sides.... to this topic..." and I was merely pointing out that you shouldn't get so upset at people for discussing both sides of it. Also can you explain how that statement was "false flagging?"

Also it's funny how you sidestepped the issue. Just saying.

Anyone else think the game looks like shit?

I like bugs. They're neat-o.

>Block the thread
Not all of us are soyboys like you, user. When we see cancer, it has to be purged.

>better battle system
is the only real argument you have, and even then you're wrong. It's identical

The characters can't even damage enemies by jumping, which other PM clones copy straight

>Except for the better battle system, more interesting character designs, more challenge, better resolution... it's just more fun.
Care to elaborate on what the game brings to the table?
