Final Fantasy 8 is not a good game

Wii U is not a bad console. it failed because of the name which confused a lot of people who thought it was an add-on to the Wii.

The vania part of "Metroidvania" games hurts them more than help them, Symphony of the Night is the equivalent of games today dragging stuff down with unnecessary RPG elements and bloated boring content, so the more pure "Metroid" a new game is in that style the better.

Modern FPS are trash, Halo and CoD took the genre and turned it to the gutter. And then Hero shooter and Battle Royale managed to push it even lower.

Yes, no kidding here. If I want to play a good shooter, I either go back to Serious Sam or OT2004. The new Doom games are okay too, but the glory kill mechanic where you basically have to kill every monster hand-to-hand in the end is not for me, either.

This thread should be renamed “Trolling allowed here”.

Ocarina of Time is a mid tier Zelda game.

Dudes, wtf. All the love I had for both of you. Poof. Gone.

Most of mine probably aren’t THAT unpopular...

-Smash Ultimate’s roster is pretty bloated and the core gameplay is kinda meh.
-Mega Man & Bass is one of the best classic Mega Man games.
-2D (Top-Down) Zelda > 3D Zelda.
-Xenoblade Chronicles X is boring.
-The amount of praise and crossover promotions Shovel Knight gets in relation to the actual quality of the game itself makes no sense.
-I like the lack of music on the Nintendo Switch’s menus and eShop.

Ocarina was revolutionary, but compared to other Zelda games I rank it in the middle.  It is not even close to A Link to the Past (the peak of the traditional games) and while it layed the ground work for future 3D Zeldas, the new games built off of what Ocarina started and were better for it.  Even Twilight Princess, branded as OoT 2.0 by many, was better in most regards as a whole IMO.

Which is why once nostalgia is removed, I can only call it mid tier overall.  It is not a bad game by any means, but it also is not the masterpiece people think it is when compared to its peers.  I will say however that it was a masterpiece FOR ITS TIME, which is mainly why so many people are blinded by nostalgia for it.

The worst console of that gen isn't bad at all really. All 3 were great systems. Just N64 is the worst of 3 amazing systems. You can be the worst of something and still be good.

If I took Darius. Gradius & R-Type series and said I think Darius is the best of those and Gradius is the worst. Even the worst is still one of the best series out there.

This is what I think about Doom. Doom made a big technological jump and defined the modern shooter. But as a game it lacks in certain areas. The levels didn't resemble anything, wall textures are basically a random blotch of colors. Music was great though and the gameplay was good, which is why people copied it. But Heretic based on the same tech made recognizable levels and had a thematic line that I can see as a player and understand. That makes Heretic the better game, but Doom the pioneer of shooters.
