It's not retro, but it's definitely the worst game of all time.

Also, screenshots of OP's game look pretty badass. You sure you're not just a dumb pleb?

I actually really enjoyed that game. The sidequests were dope, the story was cool, the monsters were nice, the bosses were nice, the fights were fun and the mechanics were good. Only really bad part was the useless limit breaks and summons being shit. I played with 1 tank, 1 dps and 1 healer and it was fun as fuck.

hated this one and I played it when it came out. 250 hours down the shitter and I barely remember anything about it, except it had a whole lot of walking while watching the game play itself
it was the last FF I played and it destroyed my faith in the franchise along with X-2, the magic was gone

Don't use gambits lol. At least you could choose to automate the game, whereas in ff13 it was mandatory.

Sorry, I didn't have to do this with any other FF before this one to have fun, I'll just play a different game

Yeah I guess that's nice

Not retro but retro related since its more of a shitty remake than an new game: Stronghold Crusader 2. That thing is a fucking travesty and a crime against mankind.

It had some good visuals for it's time and about two good music tracks, but thats about it. This game is an absolute shit show on every possible level, and I rank it lower than any FF game. Even NES 2 and 3 are better than this piece of shit. Even 13 and 15 are better.

FFXII has the absolute worst reward system of any game I've ever played. As if the amount of time and grinding that it takes to get practically anything of value in the game isn't absurd enough, 90% of the shit you find is absolutely useless compared to the Fomalhaut and the Zodiac Spear.

I really made a huge mistake by trying to 100% the side quests. If I had known that the rewards for doing so would basically end up being ignored entirely, that would've saved me at least 100 fucking hours of running back and forth between each of the boring locales.

Fuck FFXII and fuck you for enjoying it.

I'll admit the story is garbage, but the gameplay is pretty good, the dungeons are massive, and the amount of content is staggering. If every part of the game was as aggressive as the subterra it would be 10/10 for me.

[Anonymous No.5665890]

>>5664097
Not retro according to this board, but the worst game I ever played was Megaman Battle Network Battle Chip Challenge. The ability to choose to play as characters other than Lan was completely negated by the fact that you have no real agency in-battle aside from the two slot-in chips, and if you're not playing it on an emulator with rapid-fire capabilities, you're gonna have a bad time.

Mission Impossible on NES sucks

[Anonymous No.5666591]

This game is like if someone took the design documents for every mascot platformer, ran them through a Markov chain generator, and replaced one word in every sentence with a cat pun. There's no element of the game design that doesn't work against the others.

[Anonymous No.5666648]

>>5664150
The movie is wonderful but the game is a total mess despite looking good.

>>5665679
It does indeed.

>>5666195
This is a pretty bad game. It's a standard adventure where you go around talking to people and collecting key items that will help you with puzzles and shit. But the way the graphics are, the things you're looking for are almost never visible on screen. For example you find a pair of scissors clicking on a collection of trash cans in an alley. So basically just to find the items required you have to search every inch of every screen on the off chance of finding something. But every time you look and there isn't an item there it plays one of two voice clips "I can't do that!" or " I can't do anything!" Over and over and over.

And then yeah, if you for some reason want to save your game so you can resume playing where you left off, just one file requires an entire empty PS1 memory card.

>>5666421

Lot of shitposts it seems, though I guess a topic like that encourages it.

My pick is Atlantis No Nazo. You're means of attack is incredibly difficult to use, ridiculous difficulty with one hit deaths and no continues, cryptic as fuck with no indication of what you should do, and the worst jump physics I have ever seen in a video game.

It was one of the earliest metroidvania style video games though, so it's interesting for that at least.

it's some kind of ghostly creature right outside the first town that only appears if you have low health. so just buy a bunch of phoenix downs, beat yourself up, walk onto the screen it appears, gank it, run two screens away, come back, rinse, repeat.

My dad was a huge comic book fan so he bought or rented most licensed comic book games on NES, which happened to have mostly come from LJN. X-Men has already been done to death, but it's hard to convey how disappointing that game was to me as a kid. At least it was "okay" playing 2 players with my little brother.

Wolverine wasn't horrible though.

A scarier thought is as time marches steadily on, so too will the notion of what becomes "retro". I'm surprised they let anything past the SNES/Genesis on this board, but the reality is in a few more years PS3/360 is probably going to end up here. And thats horrifying.

Set periods of time are why we have generations...retro is literally just anything old...90s clothes are retro now along with 60's, 70's and 80's or anything else that's older than current fashion trends.

Also bear in mind that the way "retro" is used on this board is completely different from the actual meaning and normal use of the word. The games we're allowed to talk about here aren't retro in any real sense of the word, they're just old. "Retro" isn't "old" it's appropriating styles and aspects of an earlier age in a new context. Super Mario 3 is old, Shovel Knight is retro.

But literally every single game does this. What makes Shovel Knight retro and Skyrim not? Why some pixel crap indie game is retro but Street Fighter V is not if Street Fighter V have the same gameplay that Street Fighter always had, therefore appropriating styles and aspects from an earlier age?

If everything is retro, then nothing is retro.
