for me it's witcher 3

maybe I didn't play enough for it to get good, but it really seems like a movie. and then you turn on witcher vision to solve quests. and it always tells you exactly what to do. there's no point to it being a game.

>>740987003
>should I still play the first three 2D ones
yes. if the first two are too hard just skip to SNES and actually play it. it's not hard and it holds up 30+ years later. it's what laid out the formula for the rest of series until BOTW changed it up

>>
>>740987003
I'm an old fuck who played Zelda 1 when it was new. The first game is alright if you already like and can stomach NES jank. Zelda 2 is utter dog shit. A Link to the past is when it got good in a way that still holds up pretty well today, but tbdesu Link's Awakening is pretty much a better version of it with a more interesting story and characters and dungeons and bosses and secrets, basically in all regards.
Phantom Hourglass is also pretty underrated but you have to be a non-NPC to enjoy it.

Lots of games hold up, Nintendo 64 ones not so much. They lost all good third party support so they were left with lots of no name euro and american houses and they had to hype them up significantly and get some good review scores going that when passed down over time really don't compare well or accurately to other games at the time.

Yeah see this is a perfect example of how out of context hype carried it forward to people who never played it

The only game of that kind the N64 had was Super Mario 64, which is of course a milestone in gaming. None of the other N64 games innovated much of anything. Simply check the list of games and you'll see. It's mainly genres that arcade games already did better in every way. that was the selling point of N64 actually, an arcade machine but in your home. (except it wasn't, because it was super weak, but that's the tradeoff)

N64 games also also overrated because many long-running Nintendo series were spawned on it. So you think of Paper Mario TTYD and overrate Paper Mario, think of Mario Kart 8 and overrate Mario Kart, think of Mario Party 5 and overrate Mario Party, think of Breath of the Wild and overrate the first 3D zelda, think of how famous Donkey King is and assume Donkey Kong 64 was a good game, assign the modern importance of Smash Bros to the N64 Smash Bros, etc etc

It didn't "define gaming", it just preceded a bunch of nintendo series that got famous, which creates the illusion that it must've done something significant. But really it was this awkward inbetween step full of pretty crappy games that looked like shit, ran like shit, and mostly rehashed existing concepts. Except Mario 64 which was genuinely foundational.

>carried it forward to people who never played it
...What? Are you saying people praising the n64 haven't played it? What nonsense is that? If you're gonna be this disingenuous, I may as well say every game you talk highly about is just propagated by fake fans too.

>It's mainly genres that arcade games already did better in every way
Uh, what arcade games played like OoT or SM64 or Banjo or Mario Party? Also arcades are a totally different market, I'd prefer you didn't try to compare them to consoles.

>muh innovation
Nobody bases their favorite game on how much it innovates. Nintendo games are simply fun and polished, which is a novelty in its own way. There are too many factors to consider like art direction and music. The devil is in the details. It's not a checklist about who-did-what first.

>So you think of Paper Mario TTYD and overrate Paper Mario, think of Mario Kart 8 and overrate Mario Kart, think of Mario Party 5 and overrate Mario Party, think of Breath of the Wild and overrate the first 3D zelda
Huh? I'm highly capable of distinguishing games in a series. I prefer OoT over BotW, Mario Party 1-3 over any older MP, and I still play MK64 with my friends (even though 8D was decent). What a stupid assumption.

It's the adventure. The individual elements - the action, the puzzles, the story - are not exceptional on their own, but put together it just works to make a fun adventure. The setting is great too, it's not just generic fantasy and feels more like a fairy tale, balancing darker elements with the whimsical. Not many other games pull off that fairy tale feeling as well as Zelda does, if any.
