sometimes i look at the opinions that i see online and i'm like. damn. mario & luigi fans really only like bowser's inside story.
this game's got hella issues, but i'd be lying if i said i didn't at least kinda like it. tutorials out the ass, giant battles that are essentially 20 minute long cutscenes, at least half the game is worthless padding... not to mention the combat feels really, REALLY wonky sometimes. call me a scrub if you want but some of the counterattack windows feel really stupid, and a ton of your bros/Luigi attacks feel really terrible - especially the gyro control ones where they sometimes expect you to be pixel perfect. especially your luiginary attacks - the only ones that didn't feel either frustrating or severely underpowered were the ball and hammer (love that fuckin luigi ball though that shit is sick).
but like. damn. the game just hits this really weird sweet spot for me that's hard to describe. it's not the aesthetics, since the world feels like shit most of the time and most of the dream areas are empty, hapharzard platforming messes. it's not the story. maybe it's just how the spritework feels like a big step up from the DS games, or the funky ass music. none of this makes up for all the issues this game has, but. there's some good stuff here. i don't hate this one as much as i probably should.
maybe i just miss the days of starting fights on miiverse. i dunno. sometimes it feels like the year of luigi never ended.
