So i'm not the only user that genuinely thinks Luigi's Mansion is fantastic right?

Its kind of a meme among gen Z hipsters to like some things ironically like Waluigi and i noticed today the same types going "OMG LUIGIS MANSION HYPE!" but have clearly never played it.

But i have. I know a lot of you have too. Personally i always loved it. I always love the 'spooky' or 'halloween' levels in games like mario or even shit like Pumpkin Hill, naturally, so a full game of spooks was right up my alley.

The soundtrack is excellent, the art style stays true to the established mario style but does more creepy stuff with it and beyond little touches like Luigi's "Gameboy Horror" the game feels like a homage to classic survival horror games while also being a fun mario universe adventure game in its own right.

Whens the last time you played it? and did you find all the secrets without a guide?

You know Gen Z has around 10 years old now right? They hooked on tablets playing dumb shit or porn

How would you know, are you 12?

My Holla Forums approved bacta gel total immersion and sensory depravation tank/full body onahole is still in transit. Fucking fleshspace and its couriers.

Let me guess, you saw the direct and now know luigi's mansion isn't only on the 3ds? Check these while you are at it

If it was on the switch i would buy it again. I don't care. i spent £14 beating the arcade version. Its my power, my pleasure, my pain.

Just to spite you, Luigi's mansion is fucking shit.

Luigi's Mansion 3 soon.

I've only played Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon which was a pleasant little title. Really great game design, four buttons govern everything (blow/suction for the poltergust, flashlight and darklight) and you get no new gear throughout so there's zero menuing which is a plus in my book. What's amazing is how interactive the environments are, there's always something to uncover or spin or pull down and everything has that weight and sound to it that make it feel nice and tactile. Luigi is very emotive as well, he hums the theme tune and screams like a bitch all the time, it has that charm to it that Nintendo is really good at (when they actually bother). It has that great Resident Evil feeling of seeing locked doors and then coming back to unlock them later after some effort. It's just fun to explore the mansions and find all the little secrets.

Only thing I didn't like is collectibles are dispersed throughout all the levels which means playing through shit you've already done unless you get everything first time round. Even worse when some are locked behind mini-games that lock you out after you fail, DKC Returns style. Except in DKC Returns you can suicide and try again, while dying in Dark Moon exits the level. So another 15-20 minutes just to get a chance to get the collectible. No reason they couldn't make each mansion be one level instead of booting you back to the menu every time you complete one level. It's seemingly designed that way to be playable in small chunks like on the train but the gameplay suffers for it. There's also two really shit bosses but apparently the team was demanded to redo the bosses from ground up so maybe the initial ideas were better.

What is the appeal of Luigi's mansion? I'm positive it's not the horror aspect, but how's the game play? What do you actually do? How are the mechanics? I've tried the game very briefly but it seems to be nintendo's padding era game design where everything you do is so barely fun that the entire game is a slog to play through with no highs or really any lows.

gen z starts around born after 1996 to past 1999. Mostly highschool age.

I can only speak for the original, as I haven't played Dark Moon, but the game was satisfying if not phenomenal. It's main draw is of course being a Nintendo title but it's in own weird genre. I suppose it's a puzzle/exploration game/collectathon?
Wander around a mansion haunted by ghosts vacuuming them up, as well as looting the house by vacuuming everything from gold bars to bills to diamonds (this is the scoring system by the way). Most enemies have to be "spooked" with the flashlight so they freeze up, then you start sucking them up tilting the joystick the other way while they sporadically try to avoid you. There are also "boss ghosts" which look more like people than the amophorous blobs normal enemies are and this is where the "puzzle solving" aspect comes in, where you have to figure out how to "spook" the ghost into revealing it's heart to vacuum it up. For instance there's one room where there's this fat fuck engorging himself on food. In order to spook him you need to first light candles because the room is completely dark and the game hints he doesn't like being seen, once you do, you suck all of the food off of his plate, this will then cause two waiter ghosts to appear, you then have to suck up the waiters, then he will get angry and start spewing fireballs at you, if you successfully survive he tires out and then you can "spook" him and start vacuuming him up. There are a lot of bosses that while not the deepest puzzles in the world have creative solutions from the limited tools you have.
Again, there are two main mechanics. vacuuming up ghosts to progress through the mansion, and ransacking the place by interacting with various objects in the rooms. I've already described the mechanics for combat in general terms, but there are some creative rooms with gimmicks, for instance there's a room filled with just generic mobs but they're invisible and can only be seen by the shadow they cast from the movie projector in the room. There's also "elemental spirits" that when you vacuum them up you can then spew out that element. (i.e. suck up a fire spirit and you can shoot fireballs out of your vacuum) This is used in plenty of puzzles as well. For collecting money, there's some rooms that you can't get to unless you try some interesting things. (If you take a picture of a certain a mouse hole in the wall for example, you will get sucked into it and brought to a room filled with treasure.) or if you clear optional bosses. Room progression is tied to you vacuuming all the ghosts in a room, which turns on the lights and you can proceed, or getting keys from various boss ghosts or some environment interaction. Whatever the room you encounter though, if you shake objects such as vases, boxes or chandeliers they spit out cash, gold bards, gems etc. When you finish the game you get scored on how much wealth in dollars you acquired. I suppose it is not the most exhilarating high octane experience in existence, but I would use the word "comfy" as the entire environment is well-designed, the songs are very atmospheric and well made, and Luigi is all around a great character in this from his varied reactions to everything.

It's a fishing game disguised as a horror/adventure game.

I just wish they went with the original concepts and made it a harder horror game. In this one they skipped out on even the ghosts the majority of them are creations of a ghost painter, rather than dead souls like the original pitch and how ghosts are normally understood to be.

I liked it, I still like it, but you have to admit that the game is sorely lacking in content. It might as well be a tech demo for how sparse it all is. Mario Sunshine is better in every way.

I'm not sure if this is a game for me, from what I know from my experience it sounds very basic, simply put. Not in a bad way and sort of without surprise. I'll give it a better go some time in the future, a few hours to see if it surprises and grips me in any way but my expectations aren't exactly high here.

Thank you for letting me know.

I'm more of a sega bass fishing type

Psst! The PAL version has a hidden mansion that has harder enemies, different enemy placement, stricter rank requirements and the whole game is mirrored!

Fun Memory: I was in my early tens when I bought this game + Mario Sunshine from Blockbuster. I had a piggy bank of $80 worth of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies and paid the Blockbuster clerk with just coins. Only now do I feel bad for forcing that poor guy to painstakingly count them all lol.

As for Luigi's Mansion, I really loved it as a kid. Not as much as Sunshine, but that Ghostbusters vibe really clicked with me, y'know.

No OP. You're not a special snowflake for thinking highly of a mediocre game. Not special at all.

It's just a very well made game all around. It's not very difficult like you said, but it's got a lot of charm and hidden collectibles and the like. The Mansion is just really dope and it's filled with interesting ghosts and has a nice, spooky atmosphere for a nintendo game. It's nothing I would call scary, but it does feel lonesome and somewhat unsettling in a unique way. A lot of people criticize the game for its length or lack of content, which I think is debatable and actually works in the game's favor (I'll get to that later). But you know what this game isn't lacking?
FUCKING MONEY
The whole thing is packed with coins, jewels, gold bars, and bills; just a fuckton of treasure. You'll spend a lot of your time inspecting anything and everything for the stuff. It's incredibly addicting to knock on an inconspicuous object and then have a torrent of cash explode into the air which you then vacuum up like a voracious animal, or Mark when he needs to inhale every last crumb of cake in his immediate vicinity. It's crazy, there's just something about how the coins roll towards you, or how the bills make a cyclone as they're sucked up; it's good shit really. The only other game that gives me the same feeling of catharsis is when you find a jackpot of things you can roll up and get HUGE in Katamari Damacy. Seriously, this game brings out the jew in you when you play it, every new room you enter is just another pillaging-ground for your big giga-kike nose to snort everything up.

Apart from that, the controls give a similar feeling of addictiveness. There's just something about the twinstick push-and-pull that comes with sucking up ghosts; especially the boss ones. Boss ghosts give you pearls of varying sizes, and give you loadsamoney if you suck them up in one go. Knowing when to let up the suction a bit or dodging furniture or shit the ghosts throw at you is hectic, and it's stressful when the boss ghosts only have like 10points to go and luigi is being dragged around desperately trying to bolt his heels to the floor. Even normal ghosts are fun to suck up, like when you lure a large group together and get like 6 at once. The sound design is always on point too. Luigi's scared whistling as his health gets lower, the slight ambient music, the lack of any music but your footsteps in dark areas. My favorite is the sound effect when you have multiple ghosts to suck up at once, the *pling* sound effect as all the timers drain is really cool, especially the loud pop when you suck em all in. Actually, all of the little sounds that luigi makes are pretty good, he's a really great animated character when compared to mario.

People shit on the game for lacking content or length, but it doesn't need more than what it already offers. It's a short and sweet game which offers a lot of reply value if you want to really scrape every last secret out of the mansion. Probably one of my favs of all time and I always replay it every few years.

You can also force the game to run at 60 hz using this Gecko code on a modded Wii, Wii U, or on Dolphin

I played this game so much it was insane. Great replayability. Such a fun little gem.

Hated how the "Hidden Mansion" mode made the ghosts easier to suck up though. I don't even remember what else it did.

Try 100%ing the game and your tune will change a bit.

Best Gamecube game coming through.

Never got very far in a gold-portrait run, although I never gave it too many serious attempts. I am aware that that particular ghost is rng city though. It must really suck considering he's at the end of a run.

Pretty mediocre much like Wario World, entirely about style over substance.

It actually is possible to make a good short game, you know. Here's a good example. Wario World, on the other hand, is a piss easy shallow pile of garbage that can be 100% cleared in a single day the first time you play it. Sorry user, not even close to the best on the Gamecube.

Anyway I think the last time I played it was probably some 6-7 years ago. I not only found all the secrets without a guide, but I obtained the maximum possible money in a single playthrough. Since doing so, I have no desire to ever touch the game again. I have no doubt I'm the only one in here who's played the game anywhere near that level. Once you do you won't be so impressed with it.

post your speedrun times, asshole

Anyone remember a game where you walk into a totally normal house, pick up an item, and it turns out the house was burned down and haunted the whole time?

I still remember its commercial.

What?

Funny way to spell Simpson Hit & Run

Fable 2?

That was it. Thanks.

They could've just added Waluigi and rivalize Luigi and let's see who keeps the mansion, but it was a trap all settled by King Boo by just giving away fake wills just to find black jewels making his kingdom of horrors raise again.

Wonder if there's a way to import text from other versions of the game to the Japanese version.

==EXCELLENT== taste, user.
I just wish it was a complete game

Probably replacing the file that contains the Jap text with NA/PAL from their respective ISO?

Ghosts are more skittish.

Why do so many millenials do this shit? "Ironically" enjoy something? Like Shrek or Vaporwave, I don't get it.

...

Also from the Nintendo Power official guide that came with the game.

...

Original LM is so superior. It's just one gigantic mansion and you gotta find your way through it. Backtracking is minimal, but you can go backwards whenever you want.

Fucking top taste.

I just wish they made more use of backtracking rather than just during blackout moments, or had more blackouts on harder difficulties/the alternate mansion. On the topic of the alternate mansion, I was unfortunate enough to have an NTSC copy and therefore the changes were basically unnoticeable.

No. It's fantastic. Just too short. The sequel is better imho

Having the NTSC version was a curse and no one even talked about it.
For years I kept thinking "Gosh I fucking wish the hidden mansion was mirrored or something, what's the point of just giving you a better vacuum?" And a few years back I ended up googling around wondering if someone made a hacked ISO or randomizer or something.
When I learned about the PAL hidden mansion it was like someone was directly answering my fucking prayers.

This one?

One thing to be aware of in the PAL version: When they added more dosh to the Hidden Mansion, the Ranking system was tweaked accordingly, but the change also affects the normal mansion and makes it literally impossible to get the best Rank there.

It's a handy way to save face in the event someone doesn't like it or challenges their taste.
Liking something "ironically" is for morons, cowards, and faggots.

Just letting you know that if you were born on or after the year the NES came out you're beyond a shadow of a doubt a millennial. I'm only saying this because there's a lot of brain dead faggots here that think 'millennial = born in the 90s' and they always get offended and insist that the official definition is wrong.

Considering script rips of various games exist (hacking the text out of one version of a game for use in another), I'd say it's possible, but likely dependent on both the game in question and demand for doing so. Looking at something like Tales of Berseria, with the western release having a stupid case of visual censorship, some ruskies ripped the English text from the PC version and made a patch with it for the original JP PS3 version.

But seriously now.
The game's still a retard but what the fuck.

Pretty disgusting, really.

Pottery. I told you exactly why. I won't go further on Holla Forums, it comes to most in time, anyway.

Holla Forums is a magical place. I enjoy the amateurs crying about its existence. A board that matters so little it got this place on the ADL with an (((F))) grade.

Those that pretend to be Holla Forums on Holla Forums and Holla Forums will forever be hunted down.

No, it really doesn't. I will say though, them and Holla Forums have been awfully good at attracting the "*tips fedora" audience/reddit. As to whether or not they actually believe in the shit you're peddling though, well, it's hard to say.

No, they are not. All I will say is some Holla Forums and /a/nons have come to Holla Forums by nature of the true nightmare of matters. There is no recruitment but the existence of Holla Forums. Not the faggot pretending to be here on Holla Forums and elsewhere.

If these janitors are really up on rules. Make sure you delaminate anyone representing any other board. It won't be a new rule because kikes own Holla Forums and likely /a/ too. Everyone not fit for Holla Forums will capitulate everywhere else..

I have to agree, albeit short it's absolutely fantastic. It also encompasses how unique Nintendo used to be compared to nowadays where it's just Fire Emblem and Mareeo.
My only problem with the game is that the money requirement is ABSOLUTELY UNFORGIVING, I've never gotten past the B rank for the ending, while the mirrored difficulty is just kind of lazy to be honest.

You gotta thank Miyamoto for the faults of the game. Next Level games was going to make it very boss intensive but he forced them to tone it down. Also, do they have some special engine for their games? Because Punch Out, Mario Strikers, Federation Force and this game all feel from the same universe.
Hardware limitations. The reason why the Gamecube could hold itself together for the huge level you were in is because any time you enter a new room, Luigi very slowly opens the door and closes it behind him, while the game has the time to allow itself to render a lower resolution version of the room you're about to enter and to fade away the one you were just in. It's also why Luigi feels a bit "slower" than he should be in general and why the ghosts reset to their spawn points if dissolved.
This is one of the few things Nu-tendo is still coherent about their game design philosophy, the world around the player needs to adapt to his skills and not the other way around, it's the reason why Odyssey, the Prime series and Kirby Air Ride are so perfect.

I love you, user. I would request you to make a nice OP sometime soon.

I want to kill OP with his dildos.

Also, the 3DS game was shit

It's a good game, but not nearly long or challenging enough. I love the music and the atmosphere though, and the graphics are seriously good for a GCN launch title.

It was never good. He was a lazy, unnecessary Luigi alter-ego made up just because Wario needed a teammate.

I don't find that it holds up to scrutiny as a game. I enjoyed it as a kid, but the game is just so fucking simple and easy. No thought or technique required.

And you don't hold up yourself. So, get a new hobby.

controls were shit, boss fights were slow and boring. I doubt you're the only one who likes this game but it's cookie cutter nintendo garbage with a small twist

ah yes, nothing ironic about liking Brawl in the Family memes for a filler Super Mario character
wehwehweh

The other bosses and the music were fantastic, but they were the only great parts of the game. If it didn't have Wario in it, I wouldn't have believed it was a first party title.

Very nice, user. Checked.

Luigi's Manson is liked for many reasons. I think its awesome because It gave Luigi his creepy ass theme tune and established King Boo as his arch enemy.

He's one of the Mario series best villains. It's too bad Nintendo is determined to make King Boo's design eternally lame in every Mario spin-off and throw away what set him apart to begin with, diluting him to just another generic baddie.

Took forever for me to beat it as a kid because I had a weird obsession with safe hub areas and exploring the mansion would scare the shit out of me. Didn't realize areas would become safe once you beat the area's boss character.
