I wanted to disagree with you OP, but after thinking about it, yeah it is.

Your mother isn't the best at anything except giving head

I liked earthbound most

>Basic fighting system
>"LOL SO RANDUMB HUMOR"

A decent world to explore can only go so far

>>253604136
I thought the rolling damage was a cool addition

>>253604136

Mother 3 has rhythm-based combo mechanics

>>253604231
me too
i liked that mother 3 was impossible by the end without using rolling hp strats

>>253603339
This series and SMT I and II are tied for me. I love em both.

Mother 1: sucks fucking major balls
Mother 2: oh god this is amazing
Mother 3: such a great story with such deep meaning and symbolism, could need a little fixing in the rpg gameplay though

>>253605278
Mother 1 is ok, it just hasn't aged the greatest.

It has some of the charm Earthbound does and that takes it a long way

Only mother i played was earthbound and it wasn't really for me, i enjoyed the humour though.

Chrono trigger is still my favourite rpg of all time, although i can't play it anymore because i played it to death when i first bought it

It has only 1 good game, Mother 3

>>253605278
>Mother 3
>could need a little fixing in the rpg gameplay though

But Earthbound is 'amazing' despite the gameplay being much worse?

i started earthbound on my snes emulator on my 3ds and eventually after like 2 hours i decided to play chrono trigger DS and i haven't gone back to earthbound yet

chrono trigger is really really good

>>253603339
I couldn't stand earthbound myself.

>>253605278

>sucks fucking major balls

Let me guess, you're too young and have never played any other NES RPG.
Mother 1 is a fine game, has a lot of great moments.

>>253606162
not to say i wasn't having fun with earthbound, but it didn't have the same effect of pulling me back to game as chrono trigger does right now

ill probably go back to earthbound after i beat chrono trigger though

>I'm genuinely underaged!

>>253604136
it was 'so random' humour before it became a tired thing in the 2000's

Am I the only one that thinks that Mother 1 desperately needs a remake on the 3DS?

>>253606240
Hasn't aged well and nes RPGs or any other RPGs in that era weren't very good in the first place, the genre wasn't very understood or mastered yet. Take off your nostalgia goggles for a sec here

>>253606162

snes emulator on 3ds?

how to?

>>253606736

But... games like Dragon Quest III are still considered classics.

Anyway thanks for confirming you're too young and lack the ability to appreciate games that are older than you.

supercard dstwo

Nah I'm just able to judge a game justly regardless of age
T-the age of the game

>>253606736

Wow, what a faggot. I bet you also think RPGs that cemented the genre, such as Ultima or Wizardry are also bad because "they're too old, you need to take off your nostalgia goggles".
Stop being an ignorant kid, games don't need pretty graphics in order to be good. Also, I bet you get intimidated by random encounters, what a pussy.

>>253607145

You're not judging anything, you're simply saying "waaah these games are too old, I'm not able to appreciate them!"

>>253607246
not him but i dont like random encounters

>>253607246
Random encounters were never good

>>253605278
>>253605415

The only issue with Mother 1 is that the map was ridiculously HUGE. it was way too damn easy to get lost

Too bad the Souls series was exhausted to death in a lapsus of 5 years, I'm burned out already. Plus, they aren't THAT great, millenials just exaggerate the difficulty thing because they weren't used to play harder, older games.

Thanks for reminding me that I still haven't finished Mother 1. I should get on that.

>>253608549
The difficulty isn't what makes them great, they aren't even that hard

They're all great and japan hating mother 3 just proves they have shit taste

My only beef with mother 1 was the insane encounter rate. Not that that stopped me from beating it

>>253603339

I loved earthbound and mother 3, i used a walkthrough on mother 1 because i only wanted to know the story of it and it's awesome.

Pokey is best villain

>>253608893

I know, but they got popular because the media was pushing the "hard" thing. Remember the PC version of Dark Souls was called "prepare to die edition"?
Again, they aren't even that great, just alright.

>>253607612
That's why I stopped. I got really lost and didn't really know my objective anymore.

>>253603339
It's difficult to pick a favorite with this series. It's like asking me to choose between my favorite child.

Replaying through this now and I recently got Ana to join me. This game's soundtrack is fantastic.
