What's the most pretentious retro game?
>>
It has gotta be some text adventure game where the writer was completely up their own ass thinking they were being clever when coming up with puzzles that no reasonable human being could ever possibly resolve

Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 10, Metal Gear Solid 2, Silent Hill 2, Shadow of the Colossus

pretentious is a subjective label and a game can become more or less pretentious based on how stupid the observer is. If you get upset that a game features simple things like themes or setpieces that activate your brain for a moment you may find a game to be more pretentious than someone who is more normal.

What's the shittiest thread?

Not retro but Fez is viewed as pretentious. But that’s a good example of both pretentious and a faggot developer

Wind Waker. It was obviously meant to be something completely different until one of the suits walked in. The result is a rushed, pseudo-sailing simulator, for a console (that your parents bought you in mistaken belief it's good) that you had to hide if your friends came by - unless you wanted to be branded as a faggoticus maximus for the rest of your school days.

That one had an interesting story. If you're looking for something extremely pretentious and empty inside, look no further than Xenogears. Probably the only title that deserves being called an aborted child of Evangelion and Gundam. Tied together with parapsychology of the most simplified kind and obviously cut in many places as they hoped to finish it in a sequel that never happened. I mean, no sane publisher would greenlight a continuation of this crock of shit. Just look what this... thing... spawned.
