Tomb Raider is so much better designed than Ocarina Of Time but doesn't have "vibes and feels" so it doesn't carry the same "masterpiece reputation" because the average gamer is an unironic retard who doesn't think about game design at all
>>
>>12641323
I have a theory that Zelda got this undeserved reputation because Mario doesn't have high fantasy swords and sorcery. And normies are retarded. That setting automatically means it's more highly regarded because it's the most core setting that a tendy wants to Nintendo's brand. Everything beyond that has always been secondary. Prior to BotW being forced to actually change it up it always coasted on 'Mario characters but in a setting I know you dumb faggot would REALLY rather be in'. Which really sucks because Mario is so much more well designed and creative. But swords. That's all there is to it.

Cistern was a slog, but it had a nice ambiance to it.
>>
>>12641323
Tomb Raider doesn't have a hookshot, so it's worse.
>>
>>12641323
tomb raider is essentially a memorization game, no real puzzle solving or thinking required. it's pretty shallow. it was only big at the time because it was novel and normies had playstations

unironic boomer brainrot, you're everything wrong with this board lol

Tomb Raider is a hard game, Ocarina of Time can be beaten by a 5 year old. THAT is why OoT is better remembered.
>>
>>12641323
>Tomb Raider is so much better designed than Ocarina Of Time
How? TR's grid-based movement and primitive lock-on targeting implementation feel like they belong to an entirely different generation than OoT. TR may have been hot shit on release, but it was quickly surpassed.
>>
>>12641551
yeah i'm sure what's wrong with this board is there's not enough people autistically hyperfixating on mid games.
>>
>>12641323
What do you mean? Tomb Raider 1 is 100% considered a masterpiece. It's one of the greatest games ever made, canonically.

Oh hey, this retard is trying to post his bullshit stupid-faggotry on /vr/ again to make it look "real". Not on my watch!

the impotent rage aimed toward objective masterpieces is my favorite /vr/ poster. such a pathetic creature.

>>12641323
OoT was designed for 5 year olds
>>
>>12641323
game design is best when you don't notice it, if you don't understand that you won't ever be able to make a good game
vibes and feels are unironically the only thing that matters, everything else exists to facilitate those

You touch upon the truth, but ruin it with exaggeration. Too bad online discourse has to be like this

Yep. It's amazing how far something can carry something.

you think so?

I hate when they do that because it's so fucking obvious too. Like that faggot that spammed his useless 10 mins long "modding community news videos". Thankfully /vr/ always BTFOs them, keep up the good work.

Anyway shit like that were inevitable since the mememaster released

How big of a noob are you that you compare a barely playable platformer to the goat? Time to sign off and give up gaming forever.

Tomb Raiders controls are fucking cancer. Ocarina of Time is a masterpiece because they literally invented a camera and control system that every fucking 3d action game uses at this point, almost 30 years later.

Im not saying Tomb Raider is a bad game, but you're a retard if you don't understand why OOT is regarded as a masterpiece.
>>
>>12643065
>man points at moon
>idiot looks at his finger
...do you think the comparison is about graphics rather than level design for an obviously similar concept of navigating an underwater level and switching water levels back and forth? ...and you call others low iq? ootfarts aren't very bright
>>
>>12643068
is this a joke post? has to be parody
>>
>>12643075
Shut up retard. There are a bajillion souls clones that literally trace their camera and movement system to OOT. Tomb Raiders dated shitty controls got left in the dust because western devs didn't quite understand controls for 3d games yet.

Obviously OP is a retard, but it's clear he has no clue what hes talking about. He chose the water temple as his comparison, when the water temple has one of the most original groundbreaking an epic scenes of all time in any video game, one of the toughest fights in the came, the shadow link battle. This battle is S Goat Teir and hardly any modern games can compare to this one epic scene, the soundscape, scenario, scenery, emotional content, all of is it beyond legendary goated status.
>>
>>12643086
lol
>>
>>12643101
Don't be mad you never got this far in the game. I know it's hard for you without quest markers.
>>
>>12643086
Yeah even if Zelda controlled like shit like most early 3d action adventure games (which it doesn't) Zelda OOT is still at nearly the peak of aesthetics, music, artstyle, pacing, attention to detail, etc.

It wasn't until I played RE4 did I feel like a game ever felt as tightly designed in terms pacing and adventure, with such a fresh take on gameplay and controls.

Tomb Raider is western slop in comparison. Like I said, I still love Tomb Raider, but when you try to compare it to the japanese bigdogs you get made fun of and look like a bitch like this >>12643101 faggot
>>
>>12643068
Tomb Raider is one of the best controlling platformers ever. It's all about that grid movement, and manually clutching platforms.
>>
>>12643086
>retard doesn't realize that Tomb Raider did an even better face off against a doppelganger, first
many such cases
>>
>>12643086
>one of the most original
you know dark link was the last boss in zelda 2 right? They did that bit already
>>
>>12643118
yeah its so good that we see a bunch of tomb raider clones in the modern era.
>>
>>12643086
that battle was piss easy dogshit, just hit him with the hammer
I have no idea why people praise it

LOL, Water Temple is a hundred times better than the cistern, which is just a very linear progression of get key to open locked area and then get key there to unlock another locked door you were not allowed to get so you can get another key to unlock another door you were not allowed to explore.
And outside of two times, you only have to raise and lower the level in Tomb Raider twice to finish the area.
Whereas Water Temple actually has the water level deeply integrated into it's design in a multi level puzzle the Cistern is just a hub area with self enclosed side rooms who's sole purpose is to unlock the next linear area.
What level of retardation do you have to be in to consider a level and series that has been mostly discarded by time to something that has been universally understood to set standards?
>>
>>12643119
OK there Bucko, ever heard of Zelda 2: AoL?
>>
>>12643086
Only a sheltered white or asian amerizoomerlenial would find this legendary or "goated."
Yawn. N64 boss fights ain't shit.

Are you gonna admit it's better than oot?

007 First Light just came out, so,
>>
>>12643335
How tf is first light have anything to do with tomb raider 1 . dumb....
>>
>>12643347
Tomb Raider led to Uncharted, and then you have 007 First Light an Uncharted clone. You need to go outside.
>>
>>12643350
Tomb Raider didn't leave to uncharted that was naughty dog you mad mad bastard. I will strangle you with my black cock.
>>

you're an idiot.
