bad/mediocre games with Soul

>> No.8485927

a game with soul can never truly be bad

Grabbed by the Ghoulies has all the usual rare charm and soul but none of the fun.

I'd go as far as to say DK64 is a great game. It just has that one flaw that might well ruin the whole thing for you.

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. The controls absolutely ruin a good game

>here's an expensive mandatory memory expansion that will do nothing for your system other than allow you to run this terrible game, and also some bootleg of ocarina that uses the same engine and is smaller in scale yet it doesn't work without it

DK64 was not mediocre in 1999. Most games back then were total pieces of shit.

Started Mother today, it seems to fit the bill

>Narrative is weak
Played up to Thanksgiving so far, not sure if things get any better.

I mean, yeah. I get enough work at work. Games like crazy taxi and virtua fighter take lots of practice and encourage a high level of play, but they’re fun the whole time and don’t make you complete busywork before you can start the game

This game is barely fun unless you experienced its official promo website while it was still around (went offline and unarchived in 2001; Dancing Kirby emails never again...) and/or enjoyed the minigames with friends (which I did). Non-Sakurai Kirbys are generally crap.

Stop holding the run button. If you're not doing that and you're still finding this issue annoying, 8-bit RPGs are probably not for you.
