[@FungusBug]

Honestly I won’t sit here and pretend like the game doesn’t have issues, but it’s definitely not as bad as IGN’s review makes it out to be. The pacing issues are nothing compared to the ones that existed in Paper Jam and Dream Team

[@reydesonic]

Paper Jam is such an outlier because it has amazing pacing in the very beginning (Green Shell, Fire Flower, Jump, Hammer, Paper Mario’s Jump, Hammer, Copy AND Special Attack ALL in the first hour of the game) But then the pacing takes a nosedive and becomes the stupidest fetch quest ever.

[@brzt4256]

How bad do you think IGN's review makes it out to be? I think the review was fair and balanced, and I think the score makes sense. I always see people talk about it by comparing it to other reviews, but that doesn't make any sense. Same thing with this comment: we're supposed to think the pacing is good because there exist two games which have worse pacing? How does that make sense?

[@reecenolan9292]

​@@brzt4256 because IGN gave dream team an 8 and paper jam a 6, despite the problems they talk about in their brothership review being way more pronounced and apparent in these games.

[@swittchblade]

​@@reecenolan9292 You do have to take into account though, that it doesn't look like any of those reviews were written by the same person. One person's 6 is another person's 8. The reviews were also written at different times. Gaming culture changes and what was acceptable in the past may no longer be acceptable now. I haven't researched ign's reviews for all 3 games so I'm not really going to speak on what the games deserved as their scores, but I don't think comparing one ign score to another is the most productive thing without further context.

[@reecenolan9292]

[@echelonii3403]

@@defierofdeath2463 I love RPGs, but you can make RPGs where the pacing isn’t bad at the start. Final Fantasy 7 starts pretty strong, for example. Dragon Ball Fusions handles its pacing quite well. A lot of pokemon games that aren’t BW or Sun/Moon thread the needle pretty well. Let’s not pretend it’s impossible to have decent pacing at the start of an RPG. I doubt it’s as big an issue in brothership as reviews say but like…come on now.

JUST beat the game! It’s so good until the final arc of it. The final boss as a character really overstays his welcome. Especially in the final area. It’s so sluggish

[@ThomasJohnson-o9f]

Spoilers: I do agree that the bond collecting quest is a pretty annoying Ulti-Bed style fetch quest, and the lower layer of the Soli-Tree is a bit too long, but the fake mushroom kingdom and everything past that point is basically everything I wanted from this game’s finale. Even if it takes a step back in some ways (namely music), we can at least appreciate it isn’t Bowser for the sixth time in this six game series.

@@houndoomdude2 it's a fair criticism but it's bundled with many other points in the review that don't really make sense for review of a remake specifically.(for me) And like i know the two reviews of ORAS and RS are done by different people but the sheer disconnect of how they're rated and its critique on the content is unfairly biased.

People complaining about this game's pacing as if slow pace wasn't the norm in most RPGs.

Well, maybe that's why not everyone's into RPGs. If a game can't get you in it's opening, that sounds like a fault imo

[@Cobalt957]

There are plenty of RPGs with solid pacing. Slow pacing may be a thing in most RPGs but that doesnt mean its good

[@Loner098]

[@miserirken]

@@Cobalt957 slow pace doesn't mean bad pase. Some games take their time building up the setting and story, as this game does.

[@Cobalt957]

@@miserirken Slow pacing is indeed not inherently bad, however slow pacing can easily spiral out into dragging many in game hours with nothing really happening. There were many Moments in this game which almost made me quit even. Dk64 for example has a way slower pace especially at the start of mid game compared SM64 or Banjo Kazooie, bit I think its good pacing because you have a lot to do and there arent too many annoying things which drag out time in an unnecessary way. In Brothership I wanted some areas to be over half way through quite a lot of times

The last review i trusted was from forspoken. You can imagine how that went... could have spent the money on a cheap hocker and would have fewer regrets. And ign?

There are rarely any demos of games, but recently, they started to make more of them.

In my opinion the 5/10 it got from ign is not too far off what i would give it. But for ign standards a 5/10 is the worst game of all time Other than luigi logic (and even then it gets a little stale) it feels like its missing the charm of the other mario rpgs.

I feel bad for people who can tell the difference between 30 and 60. It’s not your fault you’re this way, but it’s basically impossible to not be. Hopefully the Switch successor can bring this game to a solid 60 so you can enjoy it as much as me and many others have.
