Default Re: Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door

I loved it.

For me, yeah it was too long, but only because I was renting it. I rented it the first thinking 'Oh yeah, Paper Mario, pffff I'll be able to beat it within two rentals at most'....... welllll, three rentals and some 36-40 hours later I still hadn't beat it and I had to return it unfinished. I mean, I would spend all my free time playing this game because I felt like I had to rush and finish it before the rental was up, so I didn't do anything but work and then come home and play this game for three weeks. That's not how I like to live.

But, if I had just bought it in the first place, it would be a perfect length. Something I could spend all summer playing off and on. It is really long if you go for all the extra sidequests, which I like to do. But if you skip most of them you can finish it much quicker I gather.

About sidequests: does anyone else feel like less of a gamer if they don't finish all the sidequests? I mean, I would still beat the game, but all those meaningless sidequests that I wouldn't have finished weigh on the back of my mind telling me, 'NO! You didn't really finish it! Play us again!' Unhealthy......
