Oh... http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/review/R103253.html
"I'm not going to compare the two. I'm going to explain to you, straight up, why Chrono Cross deserves to be my most hated video game of all time. Not role playing game, not Squaresoft game, BUT VIDEO GAME."
"...the horrible music ..." - This impressed me, CC has one of the best Square OST's ever and is usually recognized that way.
"The rest of the game seriously does look wonderful, unless you look really closely at the screen and see all those pixels and crap like that. But if you look at it from a normal distance it'll look pretty good!" - As I recall, during its release, it was one of the best looking PS1 games out there, graphically. Funny.
It's as if the guy ignored everything about the game and somehow got a 'featured review' on gamefaqs. How does that kind of ignorant review even get 'featured'. lol |
It seems you ignored the review. First of all, the music he referred to was just the battle music. He states near the end that he like the rest of the soundtrack. It's just that the battles being frequent make the battle music prevalent. Second, he did say that the game looked good. Just don't look at it too close. However, the texelation* is not a fault of the game, as much as the PS1's lack of trilinear mapping (since games like FFVIII, FFIX, MGS1, and Vagrant Story have texelation as well). As for the whole review, I say this guy put up most of the complaints of those of us who were disappointed with the game, even if we don't downright hate it. *Some confuse that for pixelation, but pixels are a fixed dot on the screen, and a texel is a dot in 3D graphics. Basically, if it moves, it's made of texels. |
You tell me, honest review? |
If he lies about facts in the game, it's not honest, but he only epressed his personal opinions about the game. I my not think the battle music is bad, but the fact is that a lot of us don't like most of the other points he made.
We think the magic system is off (even more confusing and unweildy than unctioning in FFVIII), the reward for battles is too little, the story is confusing as hell (especially if you try to tie it to Chrono Trigger*), and there are far too many characters to be useful.
*And when some try to tie it to CT, they sound like people trying to explain the deeper mysteries of the Bible. Not for the mysteries of the Chrono Cross, but for how it ties to Chrono Trigger.
