Last game you beat

[gamemaster1991]

Here's the deciding factor for me, I guess.
I'm nostalgic about Paper Mario N64 and can beat it entirely on a single lazy Saturday.  I can't say that about PM:ATTYD.  While it's combat and story should be better in every aspect... I love the humor of the first game.  ATTYD just doesn't do as well there.  Several chapters really drag on far too long also in ATTYD: I'm looking at you 2,4, and the final chapter.  At least Flavio lightened things up some.

In my opinion, the shortness of PM64 is the reson why I don't like it as much. I like the abbilty to saver the story of an RPG without having it to go on forever. The other reson I like TTYD over PM64 is the locations. Each chapter feels like your going into a new story. You go from one setting to another to another, with Mario helping out the people in these storys. I don't really feel that way with 64. I remimber the desert, island, toy box, and final level, but really I felt like I was just going though the beats of a Mario game. To be fair, it was a mario game and that is a big thing it has over TTYD. That game felt like someone had an idea for a Mario fanfic and . By the time I got to Twilight town, I was really tiared of hearing "Wow! Isn't Mario the gretest?". 64 also didn't have a section with a naked (al be it invisible) Peach, which didn't help the feeling. I could also deal without the second part of Twilight Town and the Excess Express, both of witch were too long and too boring.
