It's not worse than other JRPGs. All of them are kind of boring if you aren't autistic.

Should I play the Shining games? How similar are they to Golden Sun?

>> No.9642416

You still haven't played Shining The Holy Ark?

Absolutely. Camelot is great at making RPGs.

To all those cucks writing: hurr golden sun is shit.... go fuck yourself. It's genuinely a great and soulful game with amazing puzzles. JRPGs NEVER have good puzzles. This is where the game shines.

Name a single good puzzle in Golden Sun.

It was a good effort, aesthetically. Nothing with the video or audio. In fact, it's above and beyond.
The game however? What you actually play? TOTAL GARBAGE.
Now I don't use "good story" or "bad story" as descriptors because that's not how I have fun with a story. The story made no impression on me whatsoever, which is also unfortunate.

I'm glad Isaac got to move big hands around in Smash.

Good work anon.
That's a good example of the level of effort put into the story.

Books exist.

Also Golden Sun isn't one big story, it's more like many small stories. The big story doesn't even matter. It's kind of like a shonen.

Ocarina of Time has a great story because it gives just enough details for the areas and npcs to feel distinct without boring you with a bunch of non-interactive melodrama. Golden Sun cutscenes drag on forever and are full of the wooden characters making dumb emoji faces at each other.
Golden Sun isn't awful, the actual RPG mechanics are solid and the puzzles tend to be pretty clever. I replay it from time to time, but always with an emulator and I usually lose interest pretty early on in the second game.

>> No.9643606

meant to say always with an emulator so I can fast-forward through all the dialog

It's both somehow super wordy yet nothing of interest actually gets said beyond characters acting with shock and repeating each other.

Finished both of them (DD isn't canon) and they are great games, only problem was the interaction between characters which suck ass, they talk way to much for shit that can been said in a copule of sentences, not to mention the meaningless info they give or obvious way into the game.
