ITT: Titles you just cannot understand or get into, thus counting them as overrated. Extra points if it is going for developer too.

You should see MDK2.

The fucking game has literally like 40 control scheme options.

Remapping controls in MDK to WASD/anything you like is not a big deal, it is other things that bug me. Sure, it has good graphics and distinctive art style, the gameplay is fun, but people seem to treat it like best game ever and i cannot say why.

Although, I have to admit, I have a general gripe against RPGs.
I also don't like Final Fantasy, for example. I gave it a chance with FFVII and couldn't finish it.
I really dislike turn based combat, I guess.

I liked MDK2 but I never finished it because I always ended it at some dead end in like 4th or 5th Kurt Hectic mission where I literally don't know where to go

It's so aimless, like playing find a needle in the haystack, and isn't enjoyable enough for all the exploring and wandering to be worth the effort.
The defensive fandom of guys who can call each dungeon by number because they followed a guide, or the autists who bombed/burned/pushed everything, don't help its case.

It tells you the dungeon number at the top of the screen when you enter it, bro.

To be entirely honest, there are few RPGs that have engaging combat. Way too many treat simple exchanges of healing when wounded, attack every other turn as a standard, and non-damaging effects don't add much to the combat. Some of the better Final Fantasy games and the later SMT games are the only jRPGs I know that have involved combat that involves adequate strategizing.

you had to grow up in the 80's with wood panelling on the wall and the olive green refrigerator humming while u wandered around aimlessly in this bitch for hundreds of hours on a console CRT to understand, man

I want to be able to enjoy these exploring games, but god damn I'm ruined by the internet. As soon as I get a second to think about it, I want to go see what /vr/ is doing or check a forum. You used to just have the TV taken up by a game so you wouldn't even have a tv show on, it was just you and the game.

Eventually you become like me. Unable to even play anything, or watch anything. I've spent days just refreshing the catalog on boards on 4chan.

That's my favorite game of all time op. Maybe you just don't like linear games, which is fine

>> No.3563118

I remember playing through this on PS1 back in the late 90's.

It was such a strange game but also really ambitious. I beat it and was happy with the time I spent on it. One of the PS1 games that, while I don't think about it often, was a solid game and worth the time I put into it.

I was also a very angsty teenager and loved the violence and sniper stuff.

I could not understand MDK, but I did get into it back in the day on the PC.

Adventure Island

I had the first one as a kid but always thought it was a bland run-to-the-right affair, do the sequels bring any significant enhancements?

>> No.3565382

MDK was a great game. But its the kind of game you enjoy way more with an analog controller.
