Oh god, I remember trying Star Ocean: First Departure on the PSP.
Getting lost for any length of time in a game that's supposed to keep your blood pumping and the action flowing is anathema. You can use the map to find your way out, but you shouldn't really have to. Same goes for a lot of shooters of that era. I think Duke Nukem 3D would have been a lot more fun if it were just a linear sequence of Duke saying funny things and blowing up increasingly bigger enemies and buildings. I mean, that's what I would have had more fun with as a child.
Yup. There aren't very many good 3D platformers overall, and even fewer that stood the test of time. For every Psychonauts, there are dozens of Earthworm Jim 3s and Gex: Enter the Geckos.
You have that. It's called Duke Nukem Forever. It's fucking awful.
I played it when it was still new, along with Doom 2 and I was very young. With the speed tech was moving at that time, shooting jpegs was out of date within like a year or two. It was fine when it had no competition, but going back to that now is a snore. It's just not fun to play. I do like watching other people play mods of it on YT clips but that's it.
Definitely reflect on what you're seeing ITT when you go into any other thread on this subreddit and notice that 95% of it's bitching about how modern games are for casual retards, or laughing at gamejournos for getting filtered
I remember having fun with that game when I played it but the actual racing mechanics weren't that great. It wasn't a terrible game but it wasn't really that amazing either. There were lots of better racing games on the 64.
I feel like it's hard to make a good in 3d platforn at least compared to making a 2d platforming game. Even in the good 3d platformers there's a lot more fucking around trying to land and do precise maneuvers. If you fuck up the controls even a little bit. Your game's gonna be bad. No matter how great the graphics, character or story is. But if you've got bad graphics, characters and story, but good controls your game's still gonna suck.

The standard at the time for 3d gameplay was fixed camera and tank controls so it was a really great design feat for the time even when it doesn't hold up as well today. At least Mario 64 is miles better than going back to say, the first Tomb Raider.
The Photographer falling from the sky I will say is easily the worst running gags in the game.
This, one million times over. 6 is not a terrible game but it is far from the flawless masterpiece that the swirling maelstrom of hipsters, nostalgiafags, 7 haters, and juronos desperate to name drop something that will lend them the facade of credibility have hyped it up as. Materia is just plain better than espers.
6 was a strong template for 7, but it's still a really great game. Its strength is in its party - it's the rare case of not having a true main character and instead having an ensemble cast carry the work. There are some weak members, sure, but I find the overall package to be pretty likable. Segments where the party split up and have their own stories are way more interesting here because of it - Sabin would be an absolutely throw away character in most RPGs but his little segment is one of the best parts of the game. Oddly, FFXIII would be the next FF to pull this off.
Oh god podracing
where do you think you are, nigga?
the games themselves aren't really the problem, it's mostly due to people being obnoxious shits about something they personally enjoyed and remember it fondly, the witcher 3 is one such case and no one mentions how the fucking combat is atrociously slow if you don't do it in a very specific way and boring besides one kiwi on the cp77 thread, course the rest of the game is fucking pristine depending if you like good narrative on a preset basis which are the witcher book series + some creativity freedom because games, i've also had a niggle against og crash bandicoot back then because it was painful to play the fixed camera sections but then again i was a young nigger and i can pass fine now when replaying it on a emulator.
Sin episode 1 was way better than Half-Life 2 episode 1, but the latter overshadowed the former. I guess Sin was always getting screwed by Half-Life release dates.
