There is still not an OT for this game so I claimed it for myself. Made it in a hurry. Hope it's not too bad.

20 years later, the door opens up again...

To quote what I said in the review thread:

My only issue so far are the new arrangements for the music. Hard to explain but they are TOO busy. They've added more instruments and at times they clash with the old ones. Whats more annoying is you can switch to the original music but you would have to know where to get the badge to do that at (Badge shop in rogue port above the normal shop. Get there from the Inn).

As for the Frame rates, honestly not a big deal. It may be 30fps but it's smooth and never dropped a frame so far (Beat chapter 2). Plus, they balanced the timing for Action commands for the frame rate, honestly the timing is easier. Honestly I can't see how 30fps can take someone out of the experience as long as it's a smooth 30.

Thanks for the OT

So far…

I don’t remember this guy from the OG but after paying him 20 gold I ended up getting 2x star points after the fight with the sisters in Boggly Woods.

Seek that dude out. There’s some sweet fucking bonuses.

30fps on a portable system is perfectly fine, specially for an RPG like this I agree.

It’s that that gives you bonuses during or after the fight. I don’t ever remember finding something like this in the original game.

Dude I got 56 star points after defeating the sisters. Never in my 20 years etc..,

You won’t get access til you can twist yourself to squeeze between bars.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Good job on OT! Ready to discuss, will join you guys in playing as soon as my copy comes in. Hopefully sometime tomorrow.

Nice OT! I might have to avoid this thread if it's going to be spoilery...it's my first time playing the game.

Oh and just to remind everyone, you can play this game in pseudo 60fps. If you have a OLED TV, you can turn the Tru Motion feature on. It actually looks great and works (mostly) for me, especially with a non graphically intense game like this. I would suggest at least giving it a shot and seeing what you think.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

I posted this in the review thread so I thought I'd just pop it here in the OT as well.

Just for people's reference, back in the day Gaf did a games of the generation vote for the PS2/Xbox/GC generation. Unsurprisingly games like Resi 4, Metroid Prime and Snake Eater took the top spots.

But there was a lot of extremely good games in that generation, so it may surprise some people to learn that Thousand Year Door was in the top 20 and was described by many people as a Jrpg masterpiece, including myself. Looking forward to replaying it for the first time in 20 years.

Hopefully the localization examples previously discussed are the majority of the butchering of the original game's script, since story was a strong point for Thousand Year Door.

You bastards getting to play on release! My copy didn't arrive today.

My copy:

Cool cover. I got a sticker sheet and fold up paper plane with paper mario art/print on it in the UK. Wasn't paying extra for the one with the self assemble paper/card 'stage/fight' theatre miniature.

This is one of those games where I keep telling myself “okay, this is the year… this is the year I actually play this game”, and then never do.

But for real, this is the year.

How about tomorrow you go pick it up.

 

[Tangerine]

Yeah I've never played it either. I watched a lets play years ago, possibly game grumps. I think/hope I've forgotten most of it.

Whole thing is just adorable. Graphics are so good and charming. And I do love the orchestral score. When do you get the badge to be able to switch between old and new soundtracks?

 

[evanft]

Does the game have some kind of weird sharpening filter? Looks really jaggy in Ryujinx.

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Is this game a 1:1 recreation of have they added new content?

I believe it's located at Rogueport in a shop above the Inn. So go into the Inn then upstairs.

There's new content. I heard there's a new boss fight(s) and some new badges.

 

[tkscz]

I just got here and I'm so happy they gave the guards back sprites. For nearly 20 years I couldn't tell if their hands were behind their backs or they just had nubs for arms.

 

[UltimaKilo]

Glad people are re-experiencing this old masterpiece!

 

[amigastar]

Glad people are re-experiencing this old masterpiece!

For sure, game is great.

 

[Woopah]

Really looking forward to hearing impressions from people who are playing this masterpiece for the first time.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Replaying gave me the itch to hunt down a copy of Origami King. I was really enjoying it back in the quarantine days and have no idea why I stopped. Something else must’ve released

The game was kind of a bitch to find. Had to drive all the way into The City.

 

[diffusionx]

I bought this, I have a trip in a couple weeks and plan to play it while traveling. I'm also playing through Paper Mario and despite its obvious age, it really is a tremendous game and one of N64's best.

 

[DarkStream]

Bought the game today.
Decided to play on emulator; a 60 FPS patch already exists.

[Emedan]

Fantastic game. Just beat Chapter 4. Can't say I'd understand anyone complaining about the framerate, what an absolute non issue.

 

[N0S]

First time playing this. Its real charming, dont mind the 30 cap.

[jshackles]

I came incredibly close to buying this game when I was in Japan recently. GEO had it for only 5,280 yen which is about $33.

I thought to myself: "I'll probably wait to play this anyway." Now I'm back in the States and looking at picking this up for $60.

 

[Dacvak]

I’m feeling the FOMO like a MF. I even have the original GameCube game, I just have never played it. But now I wanna just buy the Switch version, even though I know I won’t have time to play it for a couple weeks.

Mine won't come until Tuesday at the earliest.

 

[Gamer79]

Picked this up. Love it.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

It arrived. This game could have come out yesterday, for the first time - if it wasn't for the references. Love the koopa kid who plugs Fire Emblem - a game basically unknown to western audiences, and also developed by Paper Mario studio Intelligent Systems.

God this game oozes personality in every aspect. Love the updated music, love the conveniences like the partner ring and being able to hammer above/below you, even little things like Koops' power icon with the arrow.

The cursed treasure chest and X-Naut salute recurring gags make me laugh every time, the humor in this game is top tier.

Having the best time revisiting one of the best games of all time. So glad Nintendo recognized it and took special care to make an excellent remake.

[tkscz]

Umm... excuse me?

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Always wanted to play this. Will get to it once am done with Zelda SS and a couple of Mario games.

You want to pay twice for a 20-year-old game that you already own, just to be part of the zeitgeist a few weeks from now?

Paying 200% for a game that runs at 50% of the framerate means you are only geting 25% value for your money.

Glad people are re-experiencing this old masterpiece!

Or as most will, get to experience this classic masterpiece for the first time, all shiny and new.

 

[SCB3]

I don't remember playing the originals at all I think Super was my first one, played a few hours of origami King as well

But this apparently is incredible, so I'm starting it now

I dunno why outlets and others are saying that the new

And he totally beat my ass. Wasn't expecting that. And Im considerably overleveled
