Was 1988 the best year of gaming the world has seen?

LOL. U don't demand respect therefore u don't receive it. Chrono cross was one of the most amazing games. The character design, the tone, the art, the emotion, etc. U probably never even played it therefore say it's crap.

Convince me and millions of others on how it's a crap game?

I think the plot sucked, and it was a plot-driven game.  The plot sucked so bad that I couldn't care less about the design/tone/art/emotion.  That's all icing on the empty cake.  I hated the battle system with its weird spell-equipping, and I hated the story.  I also hated the 45 pointless characters with no development.  I have explained my hatred for Chrono Cross in an old Real Talk thread.

I might still have my copy.  If I can find it, I'll gladly film myself smashing it to bits and post it on here.

ok. well since you posted 30 games i will do the same.

I could have listed many more than 30, but at least I had the courtesy to cut out all the crap. I wish you'd respect my thread and do the same. That King's Quest game has reviews as low as 10%.

The best thing to come out of 1998 was an expansion pack.

And 1998 had Chrono Cross, the quickest and hardest fall from grace of a sequel I've ever had the poor luck to look forward to.

You're messing up the dates again, Rubang. Chrono Cross was released in November 18, 1999 in Japan and August 15, 2000, in North America.

Oh word.  Thanks.  I retract my anti-Chrono Cross hatred fromo the 1988 vs. 1998 argument, but I will still hate it forever.  I was just misled by this post over in the 1998 thread.
