This game needs more love. Medievil is easily one of the greatest

Too bad it runs like absolute steaming horseshit.

Played it for the first time like 3 months ago, and it was the very first time i got motion sickness, from both, the shitty camera and disgussting framerate.

ejected the disk and sold it for 30 on Ebay.

Lmao typical motion sickness faggot. "The game sucks because I'm genetically damaged", whatever you say retard.

>The best adventure game on the console by far
I like the game, but for the sake of comparison, what other adventure games are there on the playstation?

>>4230947
Spyro off the top of my head, which is a better game.

I like Medievil and all, but around the halfway point the game bogs down. The forest, the ant cave, the asylum, bleh. The final boss fight was kinda weak too. It's a shame the best boss fight in the entire game was so early in the game.

Spyro is hot trash, and it isn't an adventure game retard, it's a platformer.
>I like Medievil and all, but around the halfway point the game bogs down
Shit opinion, I felt like it got progressively better till the end. I guess you got confused by the ant mound dungeon and it left a rash on your ass.

There aren't all that many to be honest. Alundra 1 and 2 come to mind, also Legacy of Kain, Vagrant Story, etc. However Medievil is the best of the bunch for me. One of the most vibrant, colorful games on the system with great British humor and cool environments. Everything else feels drab by comparison.

Just based off of what you named, Vagrant Story and Legacy of Kain both shit all over Medieval.

>Vagrant Story and Legacy of Kain both shit all over Medieval.
Vagrant Story has a decent story and graphics, the actual gameplay is lame. Pretty much the same for LoK but without the good graphics. Medievil has more variety, better combat, better puzzles, more things to find, better replayability, etc.

I'm a different motion sickness faggot and I've never had trouble with Medievil. It was a favourite of mine when I was 11-13.
I can beat it in one running.

MediEvil was THE childhood defining game for me as a kid, as the game both my dad and I had fun playing through together, and the sequel too which wasn't anywhere near as wretched as its reputation, and for that it will always hold a special place in my heart no matter what.

But playing again today it's ridiculously easy, I mean you have to be literally low-functioning retarded to have trouble with any of the puzzles except the Shadow Demon prison in the Enchanted Earth which was ridiculous, and the game gets easier the more chalices you collect, once you've got the magic sword you've pretty much already won the game. The level design is hardly anything to write home about either, 90% of them are just straight paths for you to walk through with very little exploration, pretty much the only challenge came from the finicky controls and depth perception from platforming.

The character design, atmosphere, music and sense of humour still hold today, but the core gameplay was never anything special; Compared to say Ocarina of Time, which came out around the same time on another system, it's not even close, OOT wins by a solid country mile. And honestly even something like Alundra, which has its own myriad of flaws, still delivers on a technical level far more than MediEvil ever has or could.

I like it a lot, but I felt it was a little short and the last level was too easy.

>But playing again today it's ridiculously easy
I don't disagree with this, but I don't think every game needs to be difficult. Sometimes it's just fun to jump around, slash zombies and hoard gold without any mind of challenging yourself.
>The level design is hardly anything to write home about either
I have to disagree here. In fact, almost none of the levels are anything close to a "straight line", most of them require at least some backtracking and can even be maze-like. Also, one thing that really stood out to me was the way that the levels were designed to be revisited later. You play through it once, beat it, and then come back at a later point once you have an item that unlocks a previously blocked area, which adds to the replayability immensely.
> Compared to say Ocarina of Time, which came out around the same time on another system, it's not even close, OOT wins by a solid country mile
Oh yeah, no doubt. OoT is a fucking fantastic game, and the attention to detail, level of polish and overall quality of gameplay is superior, but I can appreciate both for the unique experiences they offer. Also, OoT doesn't offer much in the way of replayability after the main quest is finished, whereas Medievil's arcade-like levels lend themselves far better to being revisited.
>And honestly even something like Alundra, which has its own myriad of flaws, still delivers on a technical level far more than MediEvil ever has or could.
I have to strongly disagree with you here. Alundra is honestly a fucking mess. It is one of the biggest "could've beens" I've ever played. The first few hours are gaming bliss, and then the flaws begin to set in. Tiresome dungeons that drag on for hours and are forced upon you one after the other, repeitive puzzles that are reused over and over, nothing to spend gilder on, poor pacing around the board, etc. It isn't a terrible game but Medievil is by far a more polished product.

This tbqh, famsquad.
Subhuman Degenerates need to get another hobby instead of screaming NO FUN ALLOWED.

It never fails, every time you bring up an older game, there's some worthless fuck that starts talking about how it makes them "sick" and then they start shitting on the game for it. I've never understood it, must be the kind of kid who gets a seizure from watching Pokemon.
