Atari 2600 was good

I enjoy 99% of games I play on some level and think all the "this game sucks" "no this game sucks more" conversations are repetitive and boring. I wish people could just enjoy games for their good parts rather than get so stuck on the bad ones.

Only retards call the first PlayStation of 'PSX'

I spend a lot of money on Video Games and Systems and yet i only play Donkey Kong. Literally i only play DK.

60fps isn't high framerate, it's the bare minimum tolerable framerate.

Do you also play OutRun by any chance? Cause I know someone kinda like you.

Arcade games are real games, everything else is just novelty.

Only people who suffer from severe testosterone deficiency play JRPGs.

Video games used to be made for smart people, now they're made for dumb people.

Gaming turned to shit after the 4th gen. It was more about "OOOH CUTTING EDGE" bullshit rather than gameplay

A vast majority of the NES library is garbage even before AVGN came along

PSX resolution was far too low to see more than 15 feet in front of you in racing games despite having the best selection of that generation

I feel the same way about the SNES. Back in the day it was my favorite console, but now I struggle to find games for it that I enjoy. Smash TV and Super Turrican are still fun, but not much else.

Chrono Trigger sucks.

Emulation is just as good, in fact better than playing the actual hardware (mainly because of the prices of this shit these days). I don't get that bullshit that it is any better to play it on the "real thing". That's like saying I need to listen to music on records and digital music doesn't count.

Dude, it's just an opinion. And it's an unpopular one, and that's why I mentioned it in this topic. If you're going to be so easily offended, then perhaps you should leave this thread.

People who complain about tank controls are severely retarded.

On average, modern games are better than retro games. 'Average' being the defining word here.

Classical WRPGs > Classical JRPGs.

>>3139679
You sound like a massive faggot.

>>3139746
I agree. There is nothing wrong with tank controls. Sure better control schemes have been made since then, but it only took me a couple minutes to get used to it.

JRPGs are fucking trash and I don't know people see in them.

Original carts on original consoles is the best way to play a game. Flashcarts are good. Emulation is okay.

There are more good Master System games than N64 games.

Most of the Saturn library is over hyped.

Genesis sounds is better than people make it out to be.

Mega Man 4 is better than Mega Man 3.

Lots of gamers share that opinion. I'm one of them.

Nothing post-Dreamcast should EVER be on here. In fact, I'd support a board for discussing pre-N64/PS1 only. Not really sure if this would be unpopular, persay, though the last part would probably be unpopular.

I have no problem with retrogqming "e-celebs," so long as the genuinely care about the subject matter and aren't just pursuing a fad.

More people interested in old games is a bad thing for the community (and yes, I understand that my previous position would likely feed into this problem) by exposing it to more profiteers and fad followers.

>>3139683
NES and SNES are almost entirely 60fps, with occasional slowdown depending on how well programmed the game was. Some have no slowdown at all.

Resellers and the bubble are actually beneficial to the finite supply of retro games. If these games weren't worth anything (as was true at one point) then everyone would be throwing them out (which was also true) and the finite supply would be even worse than it is now. With the rise of eBay and the Internet, any grandma who found their son's NES games in the attic can look them up and see they're actually worth something, so they decide to hang on or sell them instead of dumping and destroying them.

As a result if/when the retro bubble pops, there will be more surviving games to go around then there would have been without.

That's hardly unpopular. You'll always have shitposters who call it shit, or people who didn't like it as much as others, but IV is well regarded since it came out, before any e-celeb stuff (before anyone claims anything)

Crash is a good game, not the best, but to say it's fucking trash is full blown retard level shit.

I'm pretty sure most of you don't even like fucking video games because all you do is bitch.

>>3140009
Video games were a mistake.

Simon's Quest is the most fun Castlevania game.

Continues, and to a lesser extent lives, are archaic mechanics that should have been phased out a lot sooner than they were. I don't want to have to go all the way back to the start of the level just because I died too many times, and I DEFINITELY don't want to have to go back to the start of the game just because I continued too many times. I've already proven I can do those first 3-4 levels, I shouldn't have to plod through them again just to get another shot at the boss I was stuck on. Dynamite Headdy is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of games that were hampered by the already antiquated continue system. It's a great game, but I'm not going to keep playing those first few levels over and over, just to eventually get further and then die again and be forced through the start of the game one more time. And then you can take a modern game in a retro style like Shovel Knight. Shovel Knight would have been unbearable if they implemented continues, and it would've been worse off for having lives too. The dark souls inspired loss of your money (that you can then try to retrieve from where you died) is a much more reasonable punishment and a vastly superior gameplay mechanic.

It was already doomed since FMVs were a thing in the late 80s/early 90s. Plus 3D has been a thing in gaming since before even 3rd gen systems.

>>3140061
So gaming died in the mid-70's-early 80's then? Some of the earliest 3D games were from around that time ya know.

Emulators are great, and so are filters; original hardware is overrated unless you're trying to play something that can't be emulated properly.

Turn-based RPGs are the most boring video games ever.

No, gaming didn't die that soon because 3d was still in its infancy back then. But like a cancer, it grew and grew until it consumed everything that was good.

Subjective. Some people don't like their music distorted.

Emulator save states and internet walkthroughs have created a generation of babies that can't beat any game without handholding

Yoshi's Island is easily one of the worst retro games featuring Mario and Luigi.

two of the three Zelda CD-I games (Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon) would be good games with better button assignments and better platforming elements.

Donkey Kong Country games suck ass.

Mario 64 sucks ass

>>3140285
Alternatively, i honestly think Mario 64 is the best Mario game. And I grew up playing the NES Mario games since I was a kid. I was already 14-15 when the game came out

>>3140294
I liked Sunshine better and consider it the best 3D Mario game. I never was a big fan of 3D Mario games anyway though.

I find it difficult to sit through NES Mario games and much prefer the Sonic Genesis/CD games.

Yoshi's Island is the best Mario game.

I like sonic

>>3140313

I remember playing it not long after it came out hoping it was as good as Mario 64 but I was disappointed. Not even sure why, but I really want to play that game again. I did play a bit on Dolphin emulator but it runs like shit. Looks like fun though. I need to pick up a game cube.

I actually agree with this, no idea how it's still so popular. Maybe it's because I never got into modding it, only ever played the regular game, but while it was fun it didn't seem like any sort of magical 10/10 epitome of retro FPS game.

I, too, love it when games allow me to overcome challenges by slamming my face on them until I finally manage to squeak by rather than actually getting good at the game.

This might be the most hipster contrarian post ITT.

Even most of the "good" NES games are trash, literally anybody that thinks that its better then SNES/Genesis is a hipster.

Legend of Zelda and Crash Bandicoot are the most overrated retro franchises of all time, the only quality from either of them is the soundtrack.

Emulation until N64 is so good that it is nearly impossible to distinguish from the actual console. Handhelds post N64 also have near perfect emulation. Considering this, it is absolutely foolish to spend money on those consoles. People who say its "just not the same" clearly don't know emulation enough considering that you can either apply a CRT filter or get a CRT monitor, plus considering the PCs wide range of inputs due to addons and crap, you can use practically any controller, so you can actually have a better time with emulation because you can use superior controllers to those consoles.

Most JRPGs (See: Pokemon, anything with unskippable dialogue boxes lasting more then five minutes in the beginning) are some of the most overrated games I've ever played. I fucking hate games where you can't skip dialogue because usually almost nothing meaningful happens plus it makes extra playthroughs a pain.

Perhaps that in itself is an unpopular opinion

>>3140492
Most of the hate for Earthbound are just people lashing out on it due to the annoying fanbase it attracts.

The SNES has one of the most overrated libraries ever. Some pretty good games, sure, but Nintendo fanboys almost worship it.

The trilogy of overrated as fuck SNES rpgs are Earthbound (mediocre), Mario RPG (average), and Secret of Mana (shit). Chrono Trigger is overrated but it at least lives up to most of its hype. Same for FFIII.

Here's some unpopular opinions:

All these guys who scream about preservation of media and greentext
>millennials
are fucking hypocrites.

Modern gaming isn't the death of gaming when it brings in more money than Hollywood movies. The complete opposite actually. Anyone who says otherwise is more upset that every single new game isn't completely tailored to only their needs.

"Game is shit" is not and never will be synonymous with "I don't like game." Stop thinking your personal preferences dictate whether a game is out is not poorly designed.

>>3140501
Have to disagree, some games like mario 3, doom, and rollercoaster tycoon are loved here. Many people agree those are great, I feel those are all great games myself.
>>3140505
>>3140513
I think most hate for it is only the fanbase which is shitty. I love it and could care less if you hate it, as long as you actually tried it and justify why you don't like it that's fine. Unfortunately earthbound encompasses, or at least at one point did, everything despicable about retro game culture.

I'm not sure it's too controversial here but anything after the 2D era sucks and the NES/Famicom is the best console.

That being said the PSX is ten times the console the N64 ever was. Even counting the hidden gems it has like 30 good games, tops.

Savestates are okay as long as you save at the beginning or middle of a level. I don't want to start the game over, it should be as quick and timeless to try again as Super Meatboy.

Zelda 2 is still my favorite Zelda, haters can suck it.

If you weren't alive in the era that the game came out, you should stfu and not argue about the times even if you have a million Wikipedia sources backing up what you "know of the time".

The 80s was the greatest time in American history and I highly doubt we'll have another decade that is as awesome.

Im STILL mad that they didnt make a video game based off the movie "Jerry Maguire"

Collecting for the sake of collecting is absolutely disgusting and those who participate should be euthanized.

>>3140623
I own the entire Sega Dreamcast, Genesis and Master System library. How mad are you?

Sega CD was a cutting edge system for the time.

Never got into Gameboy much. Thought the lack of backlight and hard-to-see graphics looked like shit. I enjoyed it for a time in the early 90s but only as a novelty.
(Still need to check out a bunch of games though, but just saying)

Super Smash Bros is stupid and I don't get the appeal. It seems like a mash-buttons fest. Not very fun to me since it lacks any kind of strategy to me..

>>3140637
Also, F Zero is better than the SNES Mario Kart, which probably was amazing back then but hasn't aged well, especially since they've remade it and improved it so many times since.

>>3140650
Gold and Silver was better in like every way. Better pokemon design, two regions, ability to fight Red, pokegear easier to get pokemon to 100 and night/day transitions.

Other than NES, I never really cared about Nintendo.

In fact, I have somehow owned a Genesis, TurboGrafx, and Neo Geo, but not SNES.

>>3140350
More.

Savestates are perfectly acceptable if the game is way too long to complete in one sitting (Super Mario Bros 3 without warps of course) or has a password system that is too much of a pain in the ass to type in (Metroid)

We absolutely should allow 6th gen once its 15 years after their discontinuation (So about 2021 if this website is still up) because things will become retro over time, plus if we are stuck with 1999 and below stuff, we'll run out of things to talk about. Not to mention the fact that we're breaking our own rules with the RCT general (RCT2 is from 2002)

Doom is one of the most overrated FPSs of all time due to shitty level design. By the logic of "Doom is the best FPS because it was the first to really start it", Pong is the best game of all time.

>>3140034
>If you don't like RPGs, you have no fucking imagination and cannot immerse yourself into a medium
Well it really just depends on the game.

Actual RPG's with mechanics conducive to roleplaying, where you actually have to put some thought into which stats and skills you raise? Like Baldur's Gate, Fallout 1 and 2, Shin Megami Tensei? Yes.

Games that are basically just generic adventure games with some numbers thrown in, like the Final Fantasy series? Fuck no.

They come here thinking its like /v/ where shitposting is the culture forgetting that this board is like /k/ most of the guys are adults with day to day jobs,families,income and hobbies.
When /v/ invaders start shitpost memes they dont realize that meme without a background or topic is not funny for us and is just shitpost.
Since there are no mods here I have 20 filtered threads atm with filters I used for /tv/ and these are just pure pastas and shitposing.

Why is it so hard to see that these people are in it for the money,they are there for entertainment everything you see take it with a spoon of salt.Jesus Christ people use your head for once.Someone says something on a internet podcast ups there goes up the price of 30yo video game,oh the one that said this had 10 copies of it and sold them all.

If you say so buddy but growing up i had BBS and later was mod and admin on few forums I know that good and laid back discussion for the stuff we love is possible.
Not everything has to be calling each other names and trolling.

I prefer the remake of Resident Evil for GC over the original one. I find all Metroid games I played boring as hell.

>>3140743
>/vr/ is shit right now
Well yes that's not an unpopular opinion, I would say it's a fact. I browse this board for short periods of time over large periods of complete absence so I don't have a sense of progression. It was never excellent but certainly it was better. I think I got it though, it's not that /vr/ don't know how to behave properly and don't know how to not respond to shitposting. Nope, the thing is /vr/ actually consciously wants to be shit now. You know, because there's isn't enough places on the internet where you can be gratuitously offensive, hinder interesting discussion and show how much of a retard you can pretend to be, not realizing that you're indeed a retard.

Also I prefer Sonic 2 over Sonic 3.

>>3140846

>/vr/ wants to be shit

No, /v/ wants /vr/ to be just a shit as /v/, that's why they keep pushing for non-retro consoles to magically become retro.

>Also I prefer Sonic 2 over Sonic 3.
I agree completely. I love Sonic 3, don't get me wrong, but I think they made the levels a little TOO detailed sometimes, making the level layout occasionally confusing. Sonic 2 doesn't have all of the cool shit added in, but it also doesn't feel like a time investment to replay.

Sonic 3D games are very decent games. The only real flaws they have is poor cameras (forgivable for early 3D games) and a lack of content (and subsequent retreading as different characters to obscure this) that can probably be derived from their arcade origins.

>>3140743

Yuropoor Commodore 64 games are overrated and not as great as they claim they are.

FPSes in general are overrated.

People who claim the best era of gaming was the one from their childhood should not be taken seriously.

6th gen games should be allowed on here; after all, the PS2 is not far from 20 years old.

There's nothing great about mediocre share/freeware like Chip's Challenge and Jazz Jackrabbit aside from nostalgia.

Unpopular on /vr/ or unpopular in general? Because I have one that is EXTREMELY unpopular on /vr/:

I like Nintendo and Rareware games

>>3140846
/vr/ was only good when the idea is that most people are older than the average imageboard poster and that we'd behave like gentleman and enjoy it when new people take on our hobby.

But 4chan culture goes against these ideas and it's futile to stop the creeping toxicity.

So now the average implied age is not 25-35, it's 15-25 and being a gentleman is stupid it's better to be a rude and smug prick. And we aren't inviting people into our hobby we are "defending our sekrit club from invading armies".

And that's a massive distinction, as a working adult with a hobby, dropping a few hundred dollars for consoles, flashcarts and CRTs is no big deal (my friends collect cars ffs) but when 18 year olds who play on emulators their whole life and see Gamecube as nostalgic try to feel superior over 16 year olds because they've played more roms and act smug about recommending things or act like game A or B are bad because their fans are too vocal about it (a common cancerous mentality of 4chan) we have a degradation of the community.

But there is no solution, it's all downhill, but enjoy today and tomorrow because, hey at least it's not as bad as it will be a month from now.

Anything before 3rd gen is hard to go back to.

Beat-em-ups are not fun and were made only to swallow quarters.

PC before the 90's is pretty shit.

Earthbound is a flawed but pretty good game.

N64 is not as bad as people here say but still probably the worst console of that gen.

To many people here base their believes on the hivemind and don't want to play a game and form their own opinion.

Anything sonic not on the genesis shouldn't be touched.

The dreamcast probably shouldn't be here.

I think the platforming Mario games are boring. Even as a kid in the 80's when I played them because that's what there was I didn't even like them all that much. Never came close to beating any of them and only ever played maybe 10 minutes of SM World.

Platformers in general bore me to tears.

Scan lines are ugly.

>>3142042
>Ok, and anyone who takes that without walking away and ignoring them is an idiot that probably deserves the "bullying" anyway
You're wrong to say there's no cyber-bullying.

Let's say someone is young and has just started playing guitar. He meets another guitar player online who is very good, but also mean-spirited. The guitar player, who just started playing, has a condition of the mind that makes him more sensitive.

The younger player sends him emails asking him for advice, so the pro guitar player leads him on and pretends to be interested in his playing skills.

This goes on for a couple weeks, as the pro player wins the younger player's trust. Then, suddenly, he starts sending the younger guitar player hateful comments, and gets a big laugh out of doing so with his asshole buddies. Things like, "What? You can't play this 4-chord progression song without messing up? You suck at life, idiot. You fucking dumbass. Just quit and give up everything."

It's not friend-zoning, because it has nothing to do with a relationship. It's not cat-fishing, because both the guitar players are real.

The pro guitar player "influenced" the younger guitar player and "intimidated" him through technology. Thus, it's cyber-bullying.

You are wrong. Cyber-bullying is a thing, whether you think someone "deserves" it or not. So now not only do you look stupid, but you also look like an asshole.

>>3142063
I personally find platformers in general more fun than most other vidya genres, but I respect your opinion nonetheless.

Your sentence could have easily read: "People are bullies and have been for centuries. Nothing new and has nothing to do with people being assholes."
Also, you're back-pedaling. If you thought that silly, uneducated image you posted held any weight, you're clearly back-pedaling.
Saying there's no such thing as cyber-bullying is a stupid statement to make. And saying everyone who falls victim to such bullying deserves it, makes you an asshole.

>>3142091
No it's fine man. I can admittedly see why they cam bore someone; especially by the time of the 4th gen when there were an overabundance of them.

>>3142087

Who the fuck said it was okay? I hate it with a passion too. I'm just saying that's life. Putting a buzzword to describe different pieces of shit that hurt other people won't make a difference. Hand holding and crying for someone who felt triggered on the internet won't either.. its called life lessons and people need to learn them properly. Feeling sorry for people is not the answer.

So like I said fuck your victim bullshit and go back to wherever hugbox you fucking faggots came from

>>3142112
More than centuries. Millennia. Rape and murder are hallmarks of humanity. All of us alive today are here because our ancestors were the winners of genocide after genocide. Sure bullying isn't nice, but that doesn't mean it's not the way things are for a reason.

The world is brutal. Bullying is a way of easing people into the hardships they will soon be facing. There to make the weak stronger.

People who consider "challenge" a necessary feature for a game to be good are absolutely buttfuck retarded and will never have any opinion worth listening to until they get over themselves.

Absolutely nothing to do with "easing people into hardships". You either breed or you don't, that's all there is to it.

>>3142249
I see it more in terms of game design evolving and refining over the years. There have always been lots of games that try something new and don't do it well or try to emulate and refine something and fail leading to a less than great game. But every once in a while one does do something really well and it raises the bar for everything else after it.

Voice acting is a good example. It had mostly been really bad "DIE MONSTER!" and accepted as such until Metal Gear Solid. Even though especially these days that game seems really cheesy, at the time it was amazing that it seemed like the actors were even trying. After that everything was compared to it and before long the bar was raised.

Another example is the game Rogue. You take a simple but brilliant base concept for a game, and then that idea gets iterated on until it's a whole genre. Then the genre gets iterated on until there are subgenres of it. All along the way, people experimenting with new kinds of gameplay. Nethack is amazing and it couldn't have existed without Rogue. But Dwarf Fortress is even more amazing and it couldn't have existed without either.

See also, fighters. If you look back into the early days there were a lot of very simple or badly balanced fighting games. Especially in the 16 bit days, the systems were riddled with them. Because people were still trying to figure out the basics of what works and what doesn't and how to make characters that are both different and interesting to play, but balanced enough that the game is fun.

Over time things get refined so that anything coming out will have to be far better balanced than they could have got away with in the 16 bit days for example. MK9 was far more well designed and balanced than MK2 was and even it was considered barely acceptable by most gamers in terms of balance and refinement.

Say, 80s Sierra adventures. The amount of cheap bullshit they pull is nothing short of awesome.

Donkey Kong Country looks ugly.

>>3142165

I actually agree with this. Honestly MK9 might be my favorite MK. I am 34 years old and absolutely loved MK 1 and 2 when I was a kid, but I don't think they hold up well. MK is a series ripe for improvement as graphics and mechanics get better.

Not everyone, no. I've seen anti-bully programs, and even had real-life conversations with others, who changed people's minds about bullying and made them 'wake up' and realize their errors. And such programs and conversations are began because someone cared.

I find most people's pet-peeves are implanted when they're children. You say no-one gave a shit when you were a child. That's probably why you hate the idea of people being "over sympathetic." But we must understand that "caring" and being "over sympathetic" are two different things. And just because someone cares, doesn't mean they are the later.
But also, you're in 4chan. So I get it's hard to know when someone is legit having a conversation with you, or merely trying to win a petty argument and troll you. So I understand.

I'm the camp with you on Mega Man 4. It's classic! I love me some Pharaoh Man and Skull Man.
Interesting you would mention Zelda 2 and not Zelda 1. Can you beat Zelda 2?

>>3142551
Go back to Alternativa, maricón.

>>3142658
Zelda 2 isn't really as hard as people claim. It's just that Death Mountain is just an unfair kick-in-the-balls as far as difficulty spikes go. Then the game is mostly fair until the final area.

It's just that the game expects you to run from enemies you can't take on, I wish they would've had an NPC say "REMEMBER LINK, YOUR NIGGER ASS DOESN'T HAVE TO FIGHT EVERYONE YOU ENCOUNTER".

>>3142658
Yeah it's great that there are a handful of people who love MM 4 as much as I do. Pharaoh man has awesome music btw

And yeah I beat Zelda II once.. I understand the complaints about the difficulty but I just love the style of that game, the part sidescroller and part RPG element is really interesting to me. Also its fun to level up

Fighting games are worth playing single player, even games like Mortal Kombat. Beat em ups are boring. I understand how retarded these opinions sound next to each other and I don't care.

I'm looking forward to Mother 4.
I prefer emulation and see no reason to get up and buy things I already have.
I have NES, Genesis, and SNES USB controllers, all of which I really like.
I like Visual Pinball's variety of games, but prefer Pinball Arcade, expenses and all.
I plan on getting a small CRT and some method of hooking it up to my laptop so I can emulate on that. I'd prefer this to any kind of filter.
I'm not fond of Secret of Evermore so far.

There's no point in console wars when the Commodore 64 has more good games than every /vr/ console combined.

Super Mario 64 and Croc are the only real 3D platformers of the 5th generation.

The GOTTA GO FAST ironic Sonic fandom (see https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog and the Big the Cat fangame) is just as obnoxious as the OC-drawing autists.

The N64's library of JRPGs and fighting games was better than the N64, they just get ignored because MUH FINAL FANTASY.

I made all of these up, but /vr/ will still argue over whether these are actually true.

>Super Smash Bros is stupid and I don't get the appeal. It seems like a mash-buttons fest.
It can be, but you wont win that way, and it isn't fun to button mash such a technical game.

>it lacks any kind of strategy to me..
It has spacing, priority, entry meta game, and a lot of variety in moves. Hell, Jigglypuff has the strongest move in the game called "rest" that fires instantly, but you have to be overlapping your opponent to land it, and you fall asleep after using it.

There's TONS of strategy in setting up that move alone. Do I spin kick into it from above? Or do a cold walk-up rest? Also its a good idea to bluff with it but not use it to dominate space and control the pace of the fight.

>pokemon gen 1 is the best pokemon game and no gen can ever catch the same magic it did
A-fucking-greed

-Mario games sucked during the 16-bit era. The only one worth its salt is Super Mario RPG.

-A Link to the Past is a dull game.

-Capcom sucked as well during that era when it came to utilizing both the SNES and the Genesis sound capabilities, even to the point of the Megaman X games sounding weak despite excellent compositions.

-Mode 7 games became outdated in the 90s, they're simply not fun to play or look at in comparison to other options available then or that came later.

-Fifth generation consoles all had something to dislike about them, and I'm glad that era is over despite being one of the most fruitful when it came to the actual games.

-We're still hurting because the holy trinity that separated computer games, consoles and the arcades has been broken. No longer is there a clear line between more maturely paced, headier computer games, the fast, innovative and immediate experience you had at the arcade and the intermediary that was console gaming. Beyond a handful of exclusives, there's no real difference gaming on a PC or a console anymore, and neither is benefiting from the cutting edge R&D grounds that were the Arcades.

For everything besides adventure games, arcade style gameplay is the standard. The more video game reminds arcade game, the better. And respectively, the opposite is true as well.
Games that let you save anywhere you want are badly designed.
"Golden age" PC games are garbage.

>>3143469

None of that mattered unless you were a competitive player. You probably played one of the newer games first, and that's fine. Your first Pokemon game will always be your favorite because of how similar they all are.

>>3140503

>>3143672
>You probably played one of the newer games first, and that's fine.
Wow, because I know a game is flawed it must mean I didn't play it as a kid? Why would you think that? Why is someone doesn't agree with you, you just assume "they don't get it". I got Blue for Christmas when I was 5, my brother got Red, picked Bulbasaur, only used him, got to Sabrina and despite being 20 to 30 levels higher got my little bitch ass destroyed by her. Ran into my brother's room crying because I didn't know what happened when you lose.

Shit is broken, and 5 year old me got it first hand. Doesn't mean I still don't love it. But it definitely isn't the best pokemon.

>>3143719

I think Gen 1 is flawed too, just not for the reasons you gave. The big problem, the one I noticed even as a kid, is that it doesn't explain shit about the game mechanics. I don't even think it told you about STAB or physical vs. special moves.

>But it definitely isn't the best pokemon.

Pokemon generations are basically just version numbers at this point, with ORAS being the best because it's Pokemon 6.50.

I genuinely don't like Mega Man 1-6 on the NES

Janitors are fags

- Input methods for FPS: Mouse >> Wiimote >>>> potato >>>>>> dogshit >>>>>>>>>>>> analog stick
- FF7 killed the franchise for me with its convoluted confusing storyline and weird overworld style and controls, also I hated the postmodern setting (instead of previous games' rather medieval), didn't get myself to finish it after about halfway through
- WW was the weakest console Zelda for me. Didn't even mind the artstyle too much, though the body proportions were atrocious to someone not watching any Chinese cartoons, Link looked like a 2 year old.
The very slow start into the game annoyed the shit out of me (all action/progress feels very slow overall, sailing surely doesn't help with that but also in-dungeon action is often tedious).
The fact that like 5 dungeons were scrapped because the game was rushed is probably partially to blame for the dragged out gameplay and filler (Triforce shards say hello).
Then it's literally impossible to die because everything only takes away 1/4 heart.
Finally, Ganondorf's apparent "deep character" is way overrated IMO, he utters about 3 lines of text in the entire game during 2 encounters
- Earthbound has shit tier graphics for a 1995 game, looks more like early NES era, plus even FFIII already had much better battle animation

Huh? Not him but of course they did. It's that in Gen 1 Special wasn't split between attack and defense which is one of the reasons it was so unbalanced with certain Pokemon like Alakazam.
