>Eosd for Touhounah
>>12430071>castlevania better game edition What's wrong with this one?
>>12430093It's dull and not even the best of its kind.
>>12430071Actually funny
>>12430050>Oblivion>peak TES
Nothing peaked in 5th gen
>>12430290>contrarian of the moonNo thanks, I like to explore for actual rewards instead of endless hp/mp buffs
>>12430347>actual rewardsSuch as
>>12430050you put 2 mario games in there
>>12431014>a kart racer and a platformer are the same thing
gaming died as a hobby when normal people started using the term "franchise".
>>12430346Star Fox
>>12430990Nta, but agree with him.Weapons that alter gameplay style. Spells and hidden powerups that make traversal easier. Cool looking rooms that add to the mystique and atmosphere.Optional bosses with permanent stat boosts outside of and including HP/MP.Also kek at Contrarian of the Moon.
>>12431020Yes they are of the same franchise. >Post the peaks, the best games of their respective franchises.Just because they are different genres doesn't mean they are different franchises. That would be like putting Mega Man X and Mega Man Legends. Or Kirby Super Star and Kirby Air Ride.
>>12430050Alpha pee
>>12430050>double dashWhat exactly makes this the peak? I remember playing it and being very underwhelmed compared to mk64. Also, morrowind over oblivion.
>>12430346crash, spyro and tomb raider
Jannies tongue my anus
>>12431160MK64 fucking sucks, my first MK but the karts control like shit, DD is the one where the karts feel like MK
>>12431232This. Except I would argue DS is better than DD if the shitty retro tracks didn't exist
>>12430050>RE4Is trash. RE peaked with RE2.
>>12431101Yes, it puts all its focus on secrets and gimmicks while the core game design is a worthless afterthought with barely any challenge. CotM does the opposite, providing a strong core experience that still features secrets rewarding those who took the effort to look around.
>>12432803>providing the full hp sponge enemies experience >featuring obvious secrets that reward you with the same boring MP/HP max upFixed that for you
>>12432236>RE peaked with RE2.REmake2* but yeah.
>>12430079the latest 2D metroidIs really good. Just lacking good music and the zones are kinda samey. EMMIs suck. Was OK first time through, but it is the worst part on replay.
>>12432836>full hp sponge enemiesYes, it's the one game where you have to get good and can't cheese the game just by shopping.>the same boring MP/HP max upAs opposed to shiny RPG nonsense equippable items that you discard five minutes later?Also, >>12431101>Spells and hidden powerups that make traversal easier. You only get the Black Panther soul if you unlock the true path to the real final boss, and that's after fighting the fake one, as in, near the end of the game.>Cool looking rooms that add to the mystique and atmosphere.Aria has by far the blandest looking castle of the three GBA games
>>12430050Fuck DKC fags
>>12430050You got the wrong Sonic 2, OP.
>>12430050>OblivionList invalidated
>>12431232>the karts control like shitFiltered.
>>12435863I'll bite, because I DO LOVE ME SOME GG SONIC 2 but it is far from the peak of the series. >glider is a poor mans Mario world feather power up>Except its finicky and counter intuitive to use>criminal screen crunch>high speed Insta death maze near the end of the game>no Chaos emerald mini gamesI will admit that the music is a bop and when it was a real looker back in the day compared to other handheld games.
>>12430050>FF6>KOF 98>Sonic 2>Pokemon Gold
>>12435883>criminal screen crunchJust play the Master System versions. Not endorsing the game though, I played all the 8-bit Sonic games for the first time over a weekend last year and thought they were all forgettable as shit.
>>12435927They were a lot more impressive in the early 90's when the pea green gameboy was the only real alternative. Having a brand new new sonic title on a full color handheld was a pretty big flex in grade school and stayed that way until Nintendo finally decided to compete with it a whopping 6 years later.
>>12435967Who gives a shit about that when you don't have Pokemon? No one gave a shit about the GG
>>12430346Mario and Zelda games certainly did.
>>12430320>Morrowind is jank>Skyrim is zoomerUnless you're willing to go with the hot take that Daggerfall is the best TES, the only reasonable answer is Oblivion.
>>12437037How the fuck is Morrowind jank but not Oblivion?
>>12437072>sword goes right through rat>MISSES
>>12437154The rat moved itself to where the sword passes harmlessly through the space between its molecules.
