What old games do you consider being overrated or having aged poorly, /vr/?
all persona games
>>12610056Metroid in general. I think Super Metroid is cool but the others are boring.
BreakoutThis game bores me to sleep.
schizo thread
>>12610058Check out Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
>>12610061Lel I love that pic. The whole series is pretty overrated except 1 and 3.
>>12610063Play arkanoid doh it again
Pacman is literally pure RNG
>>12610109If that were true no one would ever make it to the kill screen
>>12610118How do you figure?
>>12610080An automated bot that posts a thread every 2 years? Lol, no
>>12610056FF6MGS3
lol OP has been posting this MGS thread for so many years now
>>12610167Because if it was *pure* RNG the outcome would be entirety random and skill wouldn't have any bearing on the outcome.
>>12610056all good games BAD. fuck those games
>>12610056Movie Game Slop 2: Söy of Lesbian is much much more overrated than the first game
>>12610058I'm a giga fan of metroidvanias but only>Super Metroid>Metroid Fusion>Metroid: Zero Missionare actually good. I hated Prime, Samus Returns and everything else. AM2R is also good but not official.
>>12610056Tetris. It's just the same thing over and over. You'd have to be some kind of retard to keep playing for more than 5 minutes.
>>12610359Yeah but on the subject of aging horribly mgs has definitely aged worse than mgs2
>>12610510Since it's a movie game only the story needs to age well, which it has.
>>12610056>what if I post quite literally the best aged game of the early 3D console (and pc really) era
>>12610287That's fucking bullshit.
>>12610545MGS is spiritually 2d.>>12610287It's not an MGS thread, talk about any games you like. Or rather you dont.like.
Honestly I don't think many retro games are really overrated.
>>12610056All turn based rpg
>>12610056The 3D Zeldas
>>12610056not even gonna lie metal gear in general solid or not is overrated, kind of like anything kojima puts out is hours long cutscenes with repetitive gameplay
>>12610578>not manySo there are a couple then, right? Let it out anon, this is a safe place.
>>12610056the entire Sonic the Hedgehog franchise (yes, even the original games) the Monster Hunter franchise the 3D Mario games (they don't suck, they just aren't as great as everyone says)
>>12610693I legitimately can't think of any off of the top of my head.
anything with some form of popularity is actually not good ammirite fellas?
>>12610056all the castlevania games were hype crap even back then
>>12610056>FF6>Chrono TriggerBoth are mediocre and have terrible combat, but are carried by aesthetics and their respective OSTs. Terranigma mogs both so hard; a game where eastern and western concepts are combined to make an existential masterpiece. >Super Mario RPGI'm convinced only mentally retarded manchildren can appreciate this game. It's bland, repetitive, uninteresting, boring, dull, lame etc. Can't believe I even bothered to beat this piece of shit. What a terrible fucking game. Yet you retards praise this "baby" game as being one of the best on the system.>MGS (series)Kojima is a hack. He is not a good writer. His definition of a good story would be to incorporate a boring espionage-esque narrative, which is a lame genre regardless, with "Japanese" personality. Only MGS3 is good, but it's not good because the story is amazing, but because it feels like a Bond game. Other overrated games:>Metroid Prime series>any GBA Castlevania game>Super Aleste>Dino Crisis>Illusion of Gaia and Soul Blazer>ALTTP and every 2D Zelda game ever>SH series (good games aesthetically, but all of them have terrible combat which I don't believe forms part of the artistic "statement" - Team Silent was just incompetent when it came to game design).
>>12610056Fuck you for this negativity. Underrated/overhated kino would include:>Umihara Kawase (filters too many retards. It is the best Spiderman game. It has an infinite skill ceiling). >Clock Tower>RE CV (unironically the best RE game)
>>12610776cool list of trannycore
ITTPeople trying their hardest to lie and ragebait but they all fail miserably
>>12610778You do realise new-halfs would hate CV, right? You're so retarded you couldn't even make it past the opening section to realise this kek. Also, we know you were intellectually filtered by Umihara Kawase. You do scream to everyone "I'M RETARDED" just by this contradictory post. >>12610776Other underrated/overhated kino:>Dynamite Headdyjob and other Treasure games
Can I just say nintendo and leave it at that?
I agree with every opinion itt
>>12610770>any GBA Castlevania gameweird take SotN notwithstanding, the GBA and DS had the best metroidvanias
>>12610832I only like Aria. The other GBA games range from mid to terrible.
>posts pointing out how OP is a spammer dating from years back get deleted>thread stays
>>12610832Nta but I'm not a fan of any of the Metroid style Castlevania games. I've tried a few.
>>12610056I generally don't like the Gamecube. I don't like the controller because it limits controls in the multiplats, it didnt get enough multi plats, a lot of the exclusives aren't that good, the 1st party ninendo games kind of suck(mario, zelda, star fox, all series I like, 1080 and wave race were better on 64), metroid prime is unique but it doesn't interest me, f zero gx seems like a good f zero game but I dont like the original or x, I don't know. I only really liked Rogue Squadron, Pikmin and Animal Crossing and other than the star wars game I didn't even really like them that much. Really disappointing and I was a die hard n64 fan despite it's drawbacks.
You're not gonna like this, but streets of rage
>>12610510Not even close
>>12610056All the Zelda games really. Metroid too.Final Fantasy 6 is also stupidly overrated, i dont understand how people like it so much.King's Field is one that for me takes the cake tho, there's nothing there worth visiting today but for some reason a handful of people enjoy it.
>>12610056You want a hot take? Virtually none. Almost every highly rated classic is highly rated for a reason. It's funny but with almost every retro game I've played, I felt the ratings were just about right.That said, there were few exceptions… Games I felt were "overrated or aged poorly" were: SMB1Mario Land 2Wario Land IICastlevania IVMetroid Zero MissionMega Man LegendsDishonorable mention to FF6, because for how much hype it gets, I just couldn't finish it and the plot felt like a joke. Oh and Zelda MM because fuck this game
>>12611162Belt scrollers in general were a product of their time, there's a reason people stopped making them as soon as technology allowed something better
>>12611483>Oh and Zelda MM because fuck this gameI disagree but what did it for you? The time limit?
>>12611675Technically, it has really good ideas and all. I just felt that this game was hell bent on not letting the player enjoy things. You just can't feel good in this game, ever. Everything needs to be har needlessly hard, and yeah the time limit just feels wrong. I am NOT redoing a dungeon because I ran out of time.I'm not against hard games, I just don't think "hard Zelda" works, especially with a timer. Especially with redoing certain things ad nauseam like the trade sequence. Whoever made that last segment with rolling in goron form needs to be shot.
>>12610109There's literally zero randomness in the original version of Pacman, and that's what makes it a masterpiece of complex game design. Ports and sequels are all casual randomslop though.
Spyro the dragon is an incredibly overrated shiny turd. People act like it stands toe to toe with Mario 64 but its really what I call a "performative platformer." You're basically controlling a tank that can glide and dash, and it just so happens the worlds are perfectly designed to accommodate this. Meanwhile Mario64 really feels like you're navigating an acrobat through crazy obstacle courses. I can understand why ps1-only kiddos may have deluded themselves into thinking Spyro is good tho. What I don't understand is how anyone ever deceived their brains into thinking Crash Bandicoot is fun. The whole mainline series is souless janky slop. I remember loving CTR and then thinking "what the fuck is this" when I went back to explore the originals.
>>126122463d platformers were all trash. That goes double if it's a scotformer and/or collectathon. Except Gex. Enter the Gecko is shit but at least it embraces it.
>>12612214>""""gremlin""""
>>12611696You know I think that's why every time I've tried to replay it since my only playthrough where I got all the masks I haven't been able to get even as far as snowhead temple without getting bored and dropping the game. Some of the shit isn't even that hard, it's just tedious and annoying. Then you know if you want to do some side quests you have to basically dedicate and hour or so to sitting around waiting for something to happen. The 1st time you figure it out and pull it off it's cool, it's really not much fun on a 2nd playthrough. So yeah, good game, cool story as long as you never go back to it after you're done.
>>12610056>What old games do you consider being overrated or having aged poorlyMost of them honestly, if they're put up against newer games. Exceptions would be simpler games like Mario, where there's fewer things to go wrong. Or genres that kind of died, like Starcraft still holds up.
>>12612802yeah starcraft kicks ass
>>12610056>FF 7Most overrated game and rpg
>>12610056MGS is better than the entire library of Nintendo
>>12611483horrendous taste
>>12612881Oh how the turn tables...
I like overrated games, they're good.
>>12610056>What old games do you consider being overratedPic related>>12612960>I like overrated games, they're good.Pic related
Only one I can really think of is Wind Waker, but more and more people are getting off the "muh sailing and artstyle" topic and more on the "it's a rushed piece of shit that's just not very good" topic. I think time is knocking it down some pegs.
>>12612954Agreed. I have MGS The Twin Snakes. Awesome game.
This entire console and everything on it.
>>12613009I replayed ALttP for the first time in about 15 years a few months ago. Actually worth the hype for the most part. I do think the controls and a few other technical things got tightened up in later games, but in terms of pacing it's damn near unmatched in the series.
>zoomer generalsigh
>>12613009Based auster
>I just named a bunch of critically acclaimed and beloved games as ""overrated"" and ""aged poorly"">hahahahah XD got-em!!
>>12610057This
>>12613027>Lttp>PacingKek, yes it masterfully paces between overworld dungeon overworld dungeon overworld dungeon overworld dungeon
>>12613121>a bunch of critically acclaimed and beloved gamesGames which are only critically acclaimed and beloved based on the opinions of others....Just like the guy who made this thread had an opinion. Yes, you are indeed a retard.
>>12613291Yeah, I doubt there's a single person on the planet that doesn't dislike something everyone else seems to love. I don't like mayonnaise, I don't like soccer, I don't like electronic music, I don't really care for shmups. Dodonpachi and ikaruga seem like interesting games, I've watched people play both, I get no joy in playing them.
