I am most likely one of thousands of the same story. Loved older paper mario games, picked this one up and was treated to one of the most dreadful experiences of my life. Theres many MANY examples of people ripping this game to shreds (little paper based humor if you got that haha) so i wont go to into it but just good lord man how did living breathing humans manage to fucked up every single aspect of this series and for it to never really recover
