Were anyone else have moms who played Nintendo with them in the 80s, or did they become mean like mine?

Okay yeah if you're a schizoid and hate being around people then stay single. I'm giving general advice for normal people. Obviously some people will be happier staying single forever, but for the most part it's a poor decision.

Time Gal because as hot as Daphne is and as based as Dirk is to wife and mother a princess like a peasant in the sequel she has much less screentime and thus there's less to fap to at any given moment.

This is based on how much I personally enjoy the libraries today.
Make your own: https://tiermaker.com/create/retro-game-console-tier-list-44887

S Tier: I tried to only put one here but couldn't, these three are equally kino for me, packed full of too many 10/10 games to list.

A Tier: GameCube was a pleasant surprise to me. It's like Nintendo took notes on what the PS1 did right while also retaining retardation from the N64 era. Melee, REmake, RE4, F-Zero GX, Skies of Arcadia, all fantastic but swimming in a sea of slop.

B Tier: NES has some fantastic games, and I see why some love it. But a lot of it just isn't for me. However when a Famicom falls into my hands I give SMB1 or one of the RPGs a replay.

Mid tier:
These all have a couple games I like but that's it. Not enough for me to bother owning/replaying. I respect Mega Drive fans but again a lot of it just isn't for me. N64 and Saturn are very weak in general to me but have couple titles that make me glad they existed.

Morpheus on the other hand is 10/10. I never get tired of it.

Facing Worlds sucks ass, but Morpheus is a low-grav gimmick map where one side can easily camp out on the good weapons and powerups and effectively dominate. Coret is the GOAT.

You can't just go into the menus and try things out? It's not like this is the first game to have stat, magic, and status stuff. Number goes up, that thing gets stronger.
Try Dark Cloud some time. It's equal complexity, yet no one bitches about that.

Mean while digimon has DNA fusion monsters, dragon warrior monsters and robopon is trying to snipe players. Then next year you get monster rancher 3, yu-gi-oh. Where is cyborg mewtwo from the anime? Steel type is a thing, can we get a steel type mewtwo? Lugia, the fuck is this? Charizard really s just obviously the cooler thing to kids than Typhlosion. No one would have minded the same starters again. Maybe give us split evolutions for them instead of whole new sets? Gen 2 pokemon were derpy and lame, and unless it's someones first day on the internet, this is not news.

You meet your father in gen 3. That breaks the ground rules of jrpgs. You're supposed to be a kid/teenager/young adult going on a journey, with bonus points of some odd setup where in your hometown an old guy is probably banging your single mother or older sister, like professor oak. Just like real life haha.
>>
>>12427476
I considered Gen 3 the best as a kid but I am bored whenever I try to play it. But I play Gen 2 and I love it. Why is this?

By all standards Gen 3 beats it: best Pokemon selection before it went to shit, the bikes, the graphical fidelity, more fleshed out map, and the music is incredible. But I don't know, something just doesn't feel so adventurous about it compared to Gen 2 and I can't put my finger on it. I know one of the reasons is that I simply prefer the sprites and art style of Gen 2 a whole lot more, but that can't be the only reason. Is it the excessive use of water? Is the story of Wally just really shitty and uninteresting to me? Does the scaling feel worse or is the leveling too fast? I don't know, but something isn't right

Best 2D Platforming games featuring a dude (or chick) with a melee weapon (Sword/Axe/Whip/Flail). It's OK if the game has projectiles so long as it's not the primary mode of attack.

It was my first ace combat so I have a soft spot for it. This game doesn't get the love for how many planes it actually has.
It's level design is okay, but the variance is good for It's time.
The funny thing is shooting down unmanned aircraft in open war comes full circle with AC7. An annoyance became the grim reaper.
Also this game introduced the Scinfaxi sub battle, which became a cash grab DLC for AC7.
I love the soundtrack though. That's the real seller for me. Keiki Kobayashi is my favorite AC composer and they had access to Warsaw Philharmonic. I notice the quality everytime I listen to it.
