>>5083216

Can't really get into Castlevania besides 1 and 4.
Can't get into Megaman outside of 2.
Can't get into Final Fantasy.

>>5083216
I'm with you OP, I fucking love Yoshi's Story but can't get into Island.

>>5084430
hey its not for brainlet edgelords! its for edgelord master god kings, you peon mutt cunt!

>>5083216
It's not that good to begin with, it's little brother's first video game: the game.

A Link to the Past. I really don't like anything about it and mostly find it tedious to play. Don't know why because I like plenty of Zelda games.

>>5083216
If a game fails to do its one task it's supposed to do (enjoyment), it's not a good game.

I was surprised to learn of the high regard lots of /nintendo/ has for yoshi's island. As a teen i played it (loving SMW) and yoshis island was a huge let-down. All the yoshi games since have been for an audience <8 years old IMO, an adult shouldn't enjoy something so trivial.

>>5085232
I was 9 when it came out and couldn't understand what the hell Nintendo was thinking with Yoshi's Island. Loved SMW and thought they had lost their minds. Was super surprised about 15 years later to find out that people actually liked it.

I didn't like it either. I don't even acknowledge it as a good game. I don't know what people like about it. Compared to SMB3 or SMW it's just a weird and completely underwhelming game with odd graphics, weird atmosphere and unsatisfying controls. I imagine the people who hold this game in the highest regard as being toddlercons with a diaper fetish. It's the only explanation that makes sense to me as to why they would so violently and aggressively defend this game. People usually get really upset when you state that you don't like Yoshi's Island.

I've just got the original cart for my collection, beat it and it was very meh, doesn't even touch SMW.
Don't know why some people consider it better, the hardware effects are cool but the level design and just general gameplay wasn't great.

>>5085249
its got SOUL you wouldn't understand

>>5085269
SMW had soul too friend.

>>5085273
both do

>>5083216
If ever there was a game that people overrated due to nostalgia, it's Yoshi's Island. It's a game for babies, about babies, drawn in fucking crayon. Anyone who thinks this game is good is a certified paste eater.

>>5083216
>Yoshi's Island
What did they mean by this?

Is the Island the sole property of just the titular Yoshi, with every other color Yoshi's subjugated under his dragocian yoke of colonial oppression?
Are the non-green Yoshi's ranked differently based on their complexion? Is there a correlation between the levels and the Yoshi that goes through it? Are Yoshis of certain color forced to always do the shitties jobs like slogging through the sewers and monkey-infested swaps?

I first played Yoshi's Island when I was 21. Loved it. Why wouldn't you like it? Because it's relatively easy? Grow up, nigger. It has great design.

>>5085249
Kinda agree. I don't despise Yoshi's Island, and I think it's a decent/good game, but I always regarded it as "that weird quirky side game". Then years later I look around at gaming forums and everyone is circlejerking Yoshi's Island like it's one of the greatest games of all time. That's the part I don't get. Incredibly fucking overrated.

yoshis island is the most technically impressive and advanced super mario game on snes. It looks great, sounds stellar with headphones, is immersive, has long levels, and isnt perfect but damn is it kino

>>5084409
The second or third boss honestly. The game is just insanely hard, you have to switch weapons and manage ammo while dodging and firing and it's hard to hit that first boss the way he moves

Generally Treasure games are hard for me outside of Mischief Makers

>>5083216
I've honestly never felt the desire to like something I already don't. It's a sensation that just makes no sense to me at all.

>>5085410
No but you made me think of this theory I had
>In Bowser's Castle you play as the Green Yoshi instead of Dark Blue like all the other stage 8s in the game
>In the previous world, you fight Rapheal the Raven on the Moon after Dark Blue Yoshi gets knocked up there
>There doesn't seem to be a conceivable way for DBY to get off the Moon, but baby Mario made it on a Yoshi's back in Bowser's world
The logical conclusion I came up with is that Dark Blue Yoshi threw Mario into Bowser's world like an egg, and Green had to face Bowser because Dark Blue is still stuck on the moon

>>5085635
I've never beaten Alien Soldier, but it's not actually that insanely difficult once you understand how the game works. Especially since you get infinite continues. The key is to make sure you start each boss fight with full health, because that lets you do the Down+C shinespark-style move which will significantly reduce the healthy of any boss right off the bat. From there it's just a matter of timing dodges, usually going from one side of the boss to the other.

Also the homing flames are the best weapon. Pick 4 of those and never anything else.

I tried. I honestly tried, but it's just so unreasonably hard. I can't have fun with a game if I can't beat level 2.

>>5085659
The overworld map cutscene shows dark blue teleporting for no reason.

>>5085413
A game that is too easy isn't fun. Games are suppose to be fun.

Compared to SMB3 the graphics just feel bland and over-saturated.
It's also easy as balls except for the special stages.

>>5085662
Approach it more like a Castlevania game and not a happy-go-lucky platformer and you'll be fine.
Try to get the upgraded weapon (you upgrade your weapon by getting the elephant statues enemies drop, you can upgrade 2 times). It will give you a far better range and deals more damage. You lose the upgrade if you get hit.
The real hard stuff starts at world 3.

>>5085662
It's really not a hard game at all

Mgs vr mission

>>5085809
Most of it is really boring and the final missions as the ninja aren't worth it.

>>5083216
Chrono Trigger. It just doesn't get my attention.

>>5085821
its a better game than the real game

>>5085840
Can't argue that

>>5083216
I can't get into this or really any of the SNES Mario games. Which is weird because SMB3 is one of my all time favorite games.

>>5085868
Funnily enough SMB3 is the one Mario game I just can't stand. I hate how the controls feel, I hate the music and I generally just find it boring. I do appreciate the technical achievement and how much it added to the series.

>>5083216
You posted the prime example for me. I grew up with the nes, and the SMB games were always some of my favorites. I got a genesis when 4th gen rolled around, but still got to play SMW and a bunch of snes games at my friends' houses. SMW2 was probably the the game I always wanted to play most for that system but not was able to growing up. Fast forward over a decade later and I finally get a snes and a handful of games. I remember being so excited to finally play it, and then disappointed soon after. I really wanted to like it but just couldn't. It felt too much like a chore than an actual Mario game. I guess it's because platforming took a backseat to collecting. I don't even think I got halfway through before moving on to something else.
>>5084985
Could you elaborate on why you didn't like them? Especially CV3 and MM3.

>>5086440
2 hard 4 me

FF is just boring.

>>5086492
The challenge is part of the fun though.
And yeah I can't really get into rpgs at all. The only one I ever really enjoyed was parasite eve. That said i probably haven't given the genre a fair shot as I tend to avoid them.

>>5085410
Yoshi in plural is Yoshi

I do not get it at all. Slow as hell and bland gameplay. I did not come very far though

>>5083229
Same for me. It seems like a game I would enjoy, but I've never been able to get into it.

>>5086516
I don't mind a challenge but a lot of those games are just a bit higher than my threshold. I like the core concept and gameplay of NES Castlevania, and Megaman, otherwise I wouldn't like Castlevania 1 or Megaman 2. ( I have beaten Megaman 1-8 for the record )

Castlevania 3 is fine up until I encounter a boss. Then it kind of stops being fun. I could probably pass it if I save scum but I'd rather not need to do that to enjoy a game.

>>5085410

HEIL YOSHI!

We must secure the existence of our Yoshi's and a future for Green Yoshi's!

>>5083216
It's good but isn't a true Mario World 2

>>5083216
Okay yeah but that pink yoshi is about to get fucked by the yellow one.

Why did SNES only get one actual mario game?

>>5087646
You wouldnt understand

>>5087648
explain it to me

The Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series because I'm an idiot who has no patience for anything other than pushing right and jumping on platforms. I really want to enjoy RPGs but I can't seem to get into the right mindset of taking things slow and soaking in the game. The only RPGs I ever beat where a handful of Pokemon games and Attack of the Saiyans.

>>5087646
I'm curious as to this too considering nes got 3

>>5083216
Most Nintendo classics (Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, etc). I didn't grow up with them so when I got to play I didn't understand the appeal. They aren't fun for me.

The original Ninja Gaiden trilogy. I think they're poorly designed. Bullshit for the sake of being bullshit. I feel like you have to get used to how jank the game is in order for you to beat it. If it came out in the SNES/Genesis era, it would've been a better game.

>>5085801
the platforming is very precise and tricky imo. i always had loads of trouble with those bars you swing from. the first game that ever genuinely enraged me

>>5083216
The game is great, don't get me wrong... but it's close to unplayable without increasing game speed via cheats. It's just boring to tears if you play at the regular speed.

>>5085660
>4 homing flames
This is actually a good idea. Time to give this asshole game another chance

>>5087780
I get a huge rush from the anticipation of gaining a level and seeing my numbers go up. When I plan builds it feels like I'm expressing myself.

>>5088789
What's your idle-animation?

>>5083229
>>5085635

Have you tried to git gud?

>>5085717
I agree. Though I do love SMW, I think Super Mario Bros. and SMB3 are way better.

>>5085645
Altered Beast is shit.
