home alone for the game gear, though i will admit it had some interesting ideas

toy story 2 for the n64

>>906582
I dunno about the N64 version but Toy Story 2 on PS1 is God Tier. It's made by TT Games, the same people in charge of Lego-anything games now.

>>906554
Tonic trouble.

>>906614

That's the one. I hated it, it's probably the clunkiest 3d platformer I've ever played not called Bubsy 3D

But I still beat it cause i was a kid

>>906614
This
The PS1 version was a suprisingly great game.

FFIX
I was assured that it was going to get better
it didn't

>>906658
FFIX gets worse, not better. t starts off as some of the best there is int eh genre, stays great for most of Disc 1, then turns into Final Fantasy.

>>906660
Perhaps I'm being a bit unfair, and I only mentioned it because I recently completed it.

Still, it wasn't a terrible game, but it left an awful taste in my mouth.

>>906660
Isn't that true of most Final Fantasies? Maybe they should make one where the world ISN'T in peril.

dear me

Used to beat Shaq Fu fairly regularly because it was the only fighting game I had for Genesis for a while.

Earthbound and Chronotrigger

>>906739
>le Ruseman

Final Fantasy 9

ITT: faggots and trolls

>>906739
earthbound i can agree with

it's a bad game

>hehe good one anon. pretending to not like what i like

I actually think of this game as a guilty pleasure.
Its so bad i love playing it for lels.

Target Renegade, probably.

This game has no redeeming features besides the soundtrack. It's ugly as hell, the gameplay is stiff, and you'd be better off playing Double Dragon. I don't know why I even bothered to get good at the game. I didn't beat it until after I discovered ROMs, so it's not like I didn't have better games to play.

This piece of shit right here.
>retarded control scheme
Hold attack button and press movement key to perform a fast/normal/heavy attack. This applies to changing weapons too. And this means you can't move while attacking/changing weapons.
>no strafing
Yeah, there's mouse look, but it's useless, because you can still turn with the keyboard. Strafing is considered a dodge move and is performed by holding the dodge button and pressing a direction.
>animations
Everything takes too fucking long. What? You got that sweet weapon? It's fucking useless because attack animations take god knows how long to finish. Dodging? It's too slow, it's useless. Blocking takes 5s and has 1 frame block window.
>canceling
You can cancel every single animation by pressing use key. You can even cancel a jump mid-air, because jumping is a static animation.
>melee weapons are using mana
>camera controls
Don't even try to move the camera up or down, it will start acting like a pendulum.
>shitty level design.
>collisions
Everything has a huge collision box, enemies can be used as platforms, you can get stuck on slopes.
>doors can kill you
>unbalanced multiplayer
Each class starts with different HP pool, one weapon can stunlock everything in a room, other weapon can crash players to desktop.
>one gamebreaking bug.
You need to kill a specific number of monsters to open the door but sometimes they stop spawning.

>>907085
And I hated it so much I've completed it two times.

>>906735
I like Shaq Fu, and I don't get why it gets so much flack. It's not a great game, but it's decent.

>>906554
its sort of a shame, because the game was actually supposed to be so much more, but was rushed out really hardcore.

>>907282
yeah, we rented shaq fu like 4 times.

we wanted to learn all the special moves

The NES version of Final Fantasy. None of the weapon elements work, some of the spells do nothing, the intelligence stat doesn't work, and most of the game's enemies are designed around being incredibly annoying as opposed to threatening.

>>907336
I still play it somewhat regularly. It's not that bad. The music is pretty fucking catchy too.

>>907282
You mean flaq, right?

>>907354
No. I don't, google "Flaq" it's not a word
http://sentence.yourdictionary.com/flack

>>907346
It makes me wonder if they even tested any of that shit. Seriously, even in my RPG Maker days I tested things quite extensively.

>>907363
Yes, but flaq matches Shaq.

That is the joke I was making.

>>907363

>>907364
The whole game I repeatedly asked myself if they tested it even once.

>>906627
Fuck you, Tonic Trouble was great. I especially liked the product placement.

Worst game I beat was either Dragon's Lair on the SNES, or Mario's Time Machine.

>>906554

>pile of shit

I lol'd. If a cow took a dump on the cartridge no one would be able to seperate the two.

>>907460
iono i thought the game was ok, all things considered

>>909139
If all the things that didn't work worked, the game would be... I almost said fine, but I really don't think so. The bosses were far too easy, even Chaos, and that's with spells only doing base damage. On the other side of things, spells only doing base damage is why all the popcorn enemies that spam stun attacks are so goddamn annoying.

Oh no, you stunned me and did 20 damage to my 720 health. Well this is dumb. Too bad this entire dungeon is filled with max groupings of them. - most of the FF1 dungeons

>>909162
frankly the only thing in the game that i really thought was bullshit aside fromt eh bugs were the many, many enemies with ohko spells

>>909175
I got ohko'd once or twice before getting to the town where you can buy everybody ProCapes, then everyone was protected aside from my Black Belt.

The best word for me to describe FF1 is tedious. Not hard, not easy, just really goddamn tedious.

Cheetahmen II. Although "beat" is a subjective term since there isn't a real ending, even if you manage to glitch into the inaccessible later levels.

For actual released games, I'd say FFIV, then known as FFII on SNES. I still say it's a clunky pile of crap, but I know it's miles better than some of the crap other kids had to play.

>>909181
>procapes
ok i didn't know about those lol. im not really a hardcore ff1 fan or anything. at any rate i know what you mean and can't really disagree. I played the original ff1 out of completeness sake and am not looking foward to replay it anytime soon.

>>909191
>>909181

Hey, I had to end up playing through it again after getting 9/10s of the way through, because I sold my fucking Ribbons and kept getting OHKO'd or FUBAR'd with status effects. And despite what everyone says about the class, I still think my Red Wizard was not pulling his fair share of weight compared to the two replacements I ran with later.

Anyway, pic related for me. You do not know rage until you try to play this game...I'm only still working on it because I won't let it defeat me.

>>906687
Milon's secret castle is good tho

>>909191
That's exactly why I played through it to the end, because I want to beat all of them. I'd sooner drive a nail through my forehead than play FF1 for NES ever again in my life. The remakes are good, though. You know, because things actually work as intended.

>>909293
God that game sucked. Still, if it was made on the engine Doom used, it would've been several magnitudes better.

Worst game I beat was Dynowarz: Destruction of Spondylus. If you've played the first two levels, there will be notrhing new for the rest of the game.

Space Quest 6.
FUCK Space Quest 6.

>>909326
spot on my dear anon. though part of me feels that playing the remakes instead of the original is like graduating with wikipedia and google, which my parents didn't.

For whatever reason, my older brother really liked renting Justice League Task Force, so naturally we played it a lot.
Personally, I preferred Shaq-fu.

This game is impossible to beat, because beating a game requires motivation, and this saps you of any you had left after getting past the first level.

Probably this. If a game's bad I normally trail off and stop playing, but I played through this whole thing in one go as a challenge.

>>906682

>RPG where the world isn't in peril

what the FUCK would you even DO then, faggot?

>>909494
Solve an economic issue. Find a family member who has been missing. Solve a diplomatic crisis. Study at a prestigious school.

This fucking bullshit. I got through every level, and while it's actually interesting in the way they keep adding elements to what would otherwise be copypaste levels (for example, level 2 adds pits, 3 adds crossroads where you can get run over, 4 adds a few things -- pterodactyls that'll fly you backwards to fuck you up, Taz's mother, who chases you and if you stop for too long she'll catch up and you instantly lose, and the birds will trick you by speeding up when you're close or stopping so you miss them -- but after the first six levels or so it just stops being interesting due to each level being THE SAME EXACT THING outside of those additions.

I think what made the game interesting as a kid was how so many things happened at once, but gameplay-wise it's really bland and repetitive.

I also beat Bubsy, but I LIKE that game and don't consider it bad, just mediocre.

>>909508

>Solve an economic issue.

The 2008 Economic Crisis: The RPG. Classes are Banker, Lawyer and Politician (with specialisations, for instance, the Politician can specialize in negotiating with adversaries (which would mean debuffs) or can use his oratory skills to raise the public into a frenzy (which would mean summons), and throughout the game, you run around the world, taking over the national banks like the EZB or the FED and use them to fight the crisis.

Shit, I'd buy it.

>>909525
Give it a tone similar to Phoenix Wright and you've got something going on.

>>909525
Me too actually. Sounds like a pretty good premise!

Final Fantasy II for the GBA. It was too experimental for its own good, and all of the features it added were either unnecessary (story) or just really poorly implemented (leveling/stat grinding). The coolest part of that game was Mateus tearing up shit and becoming god and satan at the same time.

>>909494

I would play the FUCK out of something like an "Animal Crossing: RPG".

The Tick for SNES or Batman Gotham City Racer for the PS1. Awful. Which is unfortunate since I love The Tick and Batman.

Quest 64

You're right. I didn't beat this. And I'm probably alive due to that fact.

I beat this yesterday, It took me hours.

I suspect there were some games I've played through that were so bad I've suppressed them from my memory, but of the ones I can remember, probably Chuck Rock on the SNES.

It isn't even entertainingly terrible, it's just a really boring platformer.

>>910286
Dear god, that game. This is the result of trying TOO hard.

>>906554
Highlander on Jaguar CD is way worse.

>>909430
To be fair, you're playing the inferior version.

Luckily it's pretty short
