Sonic '06 isn't that bad.

 

How far did you get in it?  Is there a third level??  I couldn't get any further than James Rolfe.

I beat Sonic and Shadow's story, but I could never beat Silver's due to boredom. The point I want to make is that most of what I played was very enjoyable. Even the buggiest levels just make me laugh (especially that castle level)! The game has a good soundtrack, decent graphics, and the level design can occasionally be kinda good.

Oh nice!  Thanks for the reply  (sorry I don't log on too much lately, especially since the charts aren't updating.)

this seems fun here i go.
-code veronica is better than re2(original, still have to play the new one)
-silent hill 1 and 3 are just as good as 2
-earthbound and panzer dragoon saga are the most overrated jrps of all time
-chrono trigger is great but it is not the masterpiece the internet says it is
-final fantasy 7 is still the best game ever(please don't hate me)
-mario 3 is far better than world
-mario 64 is still the best 3d mario game
-the psp is a great system with an amazing library
-bloodborne is a boring grind fest
-the fat ps3 is amazing you can play ps1,ps2 and ps3 games with it
-the nintendo switch had an amazing start but has gone downhill since and the future doesn't look very bright, typical nintendo since n64(ouch)
-zelda games are great but it's the most overrated franchise in gaming especially with critics, most games are the same

Great post.  Very interesting.

PSP and Vita deserve way more credit for sure.

I do like Odyssee better than SM64, but I guess it's not fair because I beat that back in '96 and never played it again LOL!

I wanted to know what your comparison between FFVII and FFVI is?  Thanks

I think a lot of people think that actually. This is one of those couple of games that has achieved a certain 'legendary status', including games like FFVII, Chrono Trigger, Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Symphony of the Night, GTAIII, Resident Evil IV, Shadow of the Colossus and whatnot.

-mario 3 is far better than world

Definitely agree. Mario World feels 'floaty' (and I mean also outside the balloon power-up ) while Mario 3 is perfect.

-mario 64 is still the best 3d mario game

Also definitely agree, though the standard in this series is so astronomical it's not really a knock on the other games.

-the psp is a great system with an amazing library

Funny, I never got one because there were literally zero games I was interested in, even Vita had one (Uncharted).

-the fat ps3 is amazing you can play ps1,ps2 and ps3 games with it

Agree, I didn't see the point in getting another one.

-the nintendo switch had an amazing start but has gone downhill since and the future doesn't look very bright, typical nintendo since n64(ouch)

Let's hope not.

-zelda games are great but it's the most overrated franchise in gaming especially with critics, most games are the same

Then you should play more, because this is factually untrue. There aren't a lot of series where games are so radically different between them as Zelda is.

The people burned on the stakes weren't Wiccans, as Wicca didn't exist back then. I agree though that innocent people were burned over some brainless hysteria.

I know that. I'm saying the whole "Witches is teh evul, RREEEEEEE!!!!!" thing was created to suppress female healers from pre-Christian faiths.

No it wasn't. Witch prosecutions only became big in the early modern times, long after any remains of old religion and traditions in Europe had faded away.

Final fantasy VI Kefka is not a great villain, his lore and backstory and explanation for him being evil is effortless.

I don't see a reason for these walking simulator games. A great story doesn't need a video game if its just walking around and interacting with stuff. Write a book or make a movie instead. Fun gameplay is always what developers should strive for. A good story doesn't make your game replayable, gameplay does.

What  games are examples of what you´re talking about?

An unpopular opinion of mine is that, while Zelda is one of my favorite franchises, I find Breath of the Wild too boring.It was one of my most anticipated games but just didn´t click with me.One of my biggest gaming disappointments.

A great story can be even greater in a video game because of the immersion. When you watch a movie, you feel like you're seeing people do something. When you play a game, you feel like you're doing something yourself. A lot of stories benefit from that.

Why should EVERY developer strive for fun gameplay and replayability? Isn't variety a great thing for the industry? Video games will only be considered art by the general public once they stop just being toys and begin to branch to different paths. Movies, for example, started becoming more important to the population once they began telling compelling stories instead of just being technical show-off to entertain people who hadn't even seen moving images. That doesn't mean fun movies stopped being made, Transformers is a great example. The same thing is happening to games at this very moment.

Oh, and btw, something doesn't need to be fun to be entertaining or compelling.

Many of them have names that starts with an E for some reason. The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter, Dear Esther, What Remains Of Edith Finch etc...
