I guess it has to be from a slightly younger subset of millenials. I remember on /v/ in 2007 nobody had any real affection for the Crash and Spyro games, but there was appreciation for Mario 64 and OoT.

My theory is that those games made a bigger impact on people who were not necessarily very young, while in the meantime the hoards of 90s children that grew up with the original Playstation, particularly the around 93 crowd are on here now and they outvote the N64 games for popularity with their sheer numbers.

Now that up to 98 is allowed on here, you also start to see people putting Ratchet and Clank, even the likes of Jak 2 on some kind of innovative pedestal.

Well they are, nobody is in doubt of that.

But it's a little mystifying how a bunch of "80%" platformers from the late 90s are suddenly revered as being the peak of achievement, even though they were strongly criticized as lacking imagination back then.

FF9 has an astounding amount of pandering to it. It reminds of those fucking "[blank] Movie" movies where there aren't any actual jokes, just references to other movies. 9 is a hodge-podge of references to previous FF games, and seems to want to hang its hat on that like every other FF sequel hasn't made references to previous entries.

It's frustrating to see tons of plot elements and characters recycled, sometimes almost completely unchanged, from older entries and is perfectly content to just ride the nostalgia wave. I couldn't stop seeing similarities to FF4's plot structure in a number of places, right down to a nearly carbon-copy reproduction of the final boss switch - and they must enjoy that twist because they did it again with the very next entry, too.

List of games mentioned in this thread that could reasonably be described as overrated and not just based entirely in adolescent contrarianism (including reasoning for why they're not that good):

>Tomb Raider (clunky controls, cheap deaths via annoying leaps of faith)
>Mortal Kombat (clunky controls, gameplay not nearly as refined as it's main competitors at the time)
>The Breath of Fire games, well at least the first two (terrible translations, obnoxiously high encounter rate)

And that's basically it. All the hipsters posting stuff like Mario 64 or FF7 in a failed attempt to be cool don't seem to realise that they don't have the same kinds of game-hampering flaws that you'd need for them to be truly overrated.

And my edition to the list: Secret of Mana. The combat is incredibly weak and often boils down to just spamming spells. Might as well have just been a turn based RPG instead. And the very worst part by far is babysitting your functionally retarded AI companions. This game has no business showing up in so many Top 10 lists and SNES RPG reccomendations.

Ah, of course. It's the player's fault that the controls are shit. Why didn't I think of that?

Secret of Mana... Single player, I agree. I loved it as a kid, but I recognize now it was a pretty weak game with a HORRIBLE translation. Also the end game felt very rushed... there's a point where you fly through like four dungeons in a row and they're all super short. And like 90% of the overworld is empty space. Makes you wonder.

However, Secret of Mana, to this day, is STILL a blast to play 3-player co-op. There's a reason this game was so highly regarded for its time, and this is absolutely one of the very biggest reasons. Even if the boss battles boil down to spamming spells, it was still fun romping thru dungeons, fighting over who got to use what weapons, laughing at your friends when he picked up a trap treasure chest, all that shit. Hell, 2-players would've been fun enough, but the fact that there's a 3-player mode was just icing on the cake. I tell you, those times where you had a multi-tap and got two buddies over to marathon Secret of Mana were some of the best times one could have on the SNES.

Also, aesthetically speaking, I still think Secret of Mana is one of the prettiest games on the SNES, with one of the best sound tracks of any game.

So did a lot of reviewers. The series was progressing toward a new style that debuted in FF8. FF9 was kind of like the last 'throwback' game before Square went in an entirely new direction with the series. Hence why you had all the references.

The biggest problem with 9 is the constant pausing for battle animations that makes battles from disk 2 onward take several minutes on end. The 40 second fight intro doesn't help matters any.

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

You gotta admit though, people saying Breath of Fire III and IV are maybe the biggest set of hipsters on /vr/ and their explaination on why those are the best 32 bit RPGs is just utterly laughable. Reminds me of that fag in the CV thread talking about how Dracula X is fundamentally better than Rondo of Blood.

It's not even nostalgia. It's kids on the internet parroting the "lol cloud is emo XD" meme and putting the most barebones and uninspired JRPG of the PS1 era on a pedestal simply because it's a Final Fantasy game with no "emo" characters.

Dude fuck off, Squall is a terrible character even by Square standards. He's all mopey and angsty because "muh sis left me" because you know, that's such a life ruining traumatic experience. And then there's the fact that he somehow inexplicably remembers that he had a sister in the first place despite supposedly suffering from amnesia like the other orphans. Not to mention his relationship with Rinoa being one-sided as fuck until late in the game until develops feelings for her completely out of the blue.

I mean sure, all Final Fantasy characters are poorly written, but Squall is the absolute worst of the bunch.

I wholeheartedly agree. The platforming is uninteresting, the combat is just there rather than being fun, the bulk of the enemies are lame thus not fun to fight, it just isn't anywhere as awesome as people claim it is.

It is alright and functional, but that is about it. The only thing you really need with Super Metriod is to invest time.

You're absolutely right. Fuck these casuals who want "intuitive" and "fluid" controls. It's the players fault if they don't like the controls. That's why I've come up with my own NES action platformer with challenging and rewarding controls for hardcore gamers such as ourselves. Here's the control scheme so far:

Left makes the character run right, right makes him run left. Up goes down ladders, down goes up ladders. Start attacks, select defends, A shits your pants, B kills yourself and A and B at the same time makes you jump. And if you can't adapt to that, you're a fucking faggot.

Both sites are pretty garbage if you're going to be honest about it. I would had be 100% opposed to stronger regulation on 4chan when it was new. After the scientology raids it opened the gates for cancer. This place could use a purge.

The only reason reddit is better is because you can downvoted the blatant shitposts, even if that does result in user enforced censorship and geoupthink

They're the minority, and it's less the threads being shitty and more so the population of /vr/ getting easily baited. Like VERY easily.

It's a different kinda of shit to reddit. Reddit has groupthink, but downvoted shitposts, 4chan has nor discussion but thread likes this which are obvious bait yet people fall for time and time again.

Reddit is chunky shit and 4chan is diarrhoea. The tiny pieces of corn are easy to find and cleaner in chunky hard shit, whereas even if you use a strainer the corn is already contaminated by the watery shit.
