Minecraft

Okami

>critically acclaimed classic
wrong lol. gameplay battle2battle is borderline boring and offers nothing interesting. "rpg" elements are lackluster. graphics even for that time were mediocre, aged like milk in that regard. devs were overambitious, heck the game isn't even finished just look at cd2. you either never played it when it came out or your formed your opinion from some eceleb video essay on youtube.

>>12157482 (OP)
Doom. You can't even aim up or down, it's like a primitive Tiger Electronic game. I'll never understand how it became popular

Super Metroid

Fake and destroyable walls that look exactly the same as normal walls are cancer in every game they appear in and this game completely revolves around them.

>>12157959
>Fake and destroyable
this isnt even true. there are always hints. wtf are you even on about?

>>12158206
just replayed a randomizer of this recently for 100th time
feels good man

>>12157482 (OP)
FF7
and on top of that it's ugly as sin
Valkyrie Profile was cool. Alundra, Breath of Fire, Front Mission, Grandia, Lunar, but I will never understand FF7 crowd

>>12157927
>I'll never understand how it became popular
Because you've never lived in a world with no 3D FPS games.

>>12157927
Bait used to be believable.
Anon it's ok, we can talk if you want, you don't need to post shit like this to get noticed.

>>12157482 (OP)
Xenogears has one of the greatest stories in gaming history, even when devs run out of time/money and have to wrap it up by turning it into visual novel it's still amazing, too bad most people will drop it during prison arc and never experience it in it's entirety.

>>12157482 (OP)
Trails in the Sky. I tried it a couple times and simply cant get past all the utterly generic anime tropes and bad humor. not even Persona was this bad.

>>12159478
>on top of that it's ugly as sin
It's so weird to see people write ff7 looks terrible. I grew up with the ff7 models featured in magazines as the pinnacle of gaming graphics.

>>12157482 (OP)
>pic unrelated

Chrono Cross.

I don't know if it is boring but didn't click with me.

Extremely low quality thread. OP is a fag

>>12157959
You're a faggot

Use super bombs to clear a room for secret walls or the x-ray vision

All have stories that are too much for my primitive monkey brain, they feel like the developers where smelling their own farts while writing the script while being over complicated for the sake of it.
They throw so much shit at you without allowing you to breath, specially with Xenogears, stopped playing when the mom of the main character allowed the church (?) to experiment on the main character, 2deep4U.
I just like stories where good defeats evil, like DQ or Zelda.

>>12159752
jarpigs in general are a slop genre

>>12159590
I didnt even make it that far. after that terrible dungeon in the desert pit with blondie and then running around aimlessly on the ship wondering wtf to do I gave up. when does it get good?

>>12159752
TLOD doesnt fit with these others at all. perfectly straightforward story. the problem is you have to get through like 70% of the game before it starts dropping the serious plot twists on you.

symphony of the night. I played aria/dawn of sorrow first and I dont see the appeal of playing a worse version of those games

>>12157482 (OP)
the game is just bad unc trash

>Stalker
Stalker is a quintessential early zoomer game

Nuke this site, it's ResetEra tier of retarded.

>>12159967
this board should only be for people who actually enjoy retrogaming. Allowing 6th gen was a mistake.

Pretty much everything Bethesda but if I had to single out it would be picrel.
No not trying to be contrarian, I play a lot of RPGs its just something about their formula bores me a lot and the combat in them is just dreadful.

>>12157482 (OP)
The story-telling is good. What gets me is the graphics. I don't mean to be a graphics-whore, but the game looks like it was meant for the Super Nintendo and got ported to the PS1 in mid-development. It really is a really ugly game because of it.

Jagged Alliance 2
Hate everything about the setting and gameplay and the merc system.

>>12159608
Compared to what the series turns into the Sky arc is downright modest. The next arc adds genius hacker kids with cat ear headsets, beach episodes and a rudimentary choose-your-romance system and by the time you reach the following arc it's a full on school setting with harem antics. Doesn't help that it's the worst paced video game series I have ever seen apart from Final Fantasy 7 Remake. If Falcom wasn't stuck with a shitty we-must-release-one-title-a-year-or-we-go-bankrupt schedule and had better writers this series could easily be cut in half.

True
>Allowing 6th gen was a mistake
Even more true

SotN
gameplay and level design bores the fuck out of me for whatever reason but I like most other Castlevanias

>>12157482 (OP)
You spend 70% of the time menuing and 30% playing the game

>>12160253
lol what, the graphics are the only good part about it.

>>12160482
not wrong but I enjoyed the menuing. scanning a new monster, tinkering to just the right setup and then obliterating the enemy tickled my autism. and dont even get me started on comfy workshop vibes. having to save every time you interact with your supply crate was egregious however.

Custer's Revenge

>>12159646
Maybe, but Xenogears really is bad
>>12159785
It never gets good. If anything the game plays even worse later on. It's possibly the greatest example of "just watch a YouTube video".

>>12160196
Skyrim just felt empty, at release and even today it's a great looking less clunky than the games before but there was zero immersion or caring.

ES 3-4 I remember getting a feeling like I saved the day on a stupid fetch quest, those 3 mushrooms I picked in the wood kept a family fed.

Skyrim was empty, killed a dragon saved the castle. Nothing.

>>12160336
It filters me for some reason I want to like it but I can't get good. I'm used to older games and hard games but JA2 just slaps me around.

>>12160815
You didn't use 1.13, did you?
I wish it was the difficulty that bothered me. I think it might actually be the color of the palette. Just a chore to look at.

>>12159967
Weak bait, all of those games are high watermarks of the industry. You're not peak.

>>12158206

furthest I ever made it was the fish dungeon where you had to carry around that annoying bitch.

>>12157482 (OP)
FF Tactics

>>12157482 (OP)
it was the sewers for me. what a dogshit boring game.

>>12159967
I saw this on /tv/ too but you made a new hread for it

>>12159590
Their loss, everyone know about its flaws, even hardcore fans won't deny them, still, there's much more than that
What >>12160732 said isn't completely wrong, the gameplay didn't age well, but that's different from saying "it's bad, not worth it"
anyway if someone cares, there's this mod that makes the gameplay a bit better, with halved encounter rate and other QoLs https://github.com/NoharOSP/Perfect_Works_Build

>>12159478
>and on top of that it's ugly as sin
This and ALttP for me

>>12159783
But you're describing the gay copypaste shmups and street/virtua fighter clones aside the few that perfected.

Been on a Nintendo kick
Zelda 1 (guidebait)
SMB1, 2, 3, World (honestly every 2D Mario game, all dogshit and the franchise only because worthwhile in 3D)
Metroid 1, 2 (completely invalidated by their remakes on the sole basis of having actual fucking maps)
Kirby’s Dreamland 2, 3, 64 (this director’s Kirby games are the slowest, most yawn inducing garbage, I’m honestly floored that these are official first party games)

>>12159608
Yup. Trails games are absolute AIDS.

>>12160196
Skyrim is fun and you are not white.

Gameplay never gets better, story needs to be experienced in it's entirety to form an opinion, I enjoyed it from the start, but only became fully hooked late in disc 1, about 38 hours in.

If you can't stomach combat then feel free to give yourself max lvl and/or cut random encounters.

I always drop FFVI at WoR
