WoW was never good.Stop fooling yourself.
Oh damn, I thought I was alone in feeling the boredom of Dragonquest.
True, I wanted to give it some credit now. I didnât know my poker face was that bad.:cybot:

Being translated in Japan doesnât change the fact that itâs poorly translated. It may be a valid excuse, but the bottom line is: for someone who speaks English and not Japanese, it takes away from the gameâs presentation. Besides, Iâd take âto make it a better-told storyâ over âto make it trueâ (whatever the hell that means), anyday.
-
The main character is indeed an avatar, but again, that doesnât change the fact that he has no personality. Yes, itâs true that it was intended for him to be that way, but that doesnât, in the least bit, refute my point that he has no personality. If you said that VIIIâs Junction system is repetitive and boring, and I said âit was intended to be repetitive and boringâ, would that change the fact that it is repetitive and boring? No, of course it wouldnât. I fully understand why Cloudâs character is stoic and emotionless and isnât as vibrant as Zidane or Tidus, but stories based around more dynamic characters are inherently more interesting.
I think VIIâs has a great supporting cast (I love RedXIII, Cait Sith and Vincent, as well as most of the bad guys.) I still stand by my unpopular gaming opinion that Cloud is lame, maybe even worse than Squall.
VI is indeed the best FF. Iâm surprised that anyone even dares to dispute this. I think VI is leaps and bounds above every other FF.
WoW was always good but takes too much time/effort to be good.
-I loved Diablo 2 and canât wait for Diablo 3, but Diablo 1 will always be the best version of them all!!
-Monkey Island and Sam & Max sucked when it got 3D graphics!!!
-Beavis & Butthead in Virtual Stupidity is the greatest PC Game of all time!!
-3D Blood and Gore will never beat 2D Blood and Gore!!
-I loved the game BLOOD, you know the FPS that looked like a carbon copy of Duke Nukem 3D for the PC!
-Carmageddon is the best racing game of all time!
-I prefer a more Conan Barbarian fantasy world than a WoW fantasy world!
-I miss Coconut Monkey from the mid 90âs!
-Panzer Dragoon 1 graphics gave me headaches back then and gives me migraines now!
-I always thought Capcom Street Fighter super moves look crappy, its just their special moves doing extra hits, just call it a Super EX move, SNK Super Moves FTW!!!
-FUCK 3D GRAPHICS in consoles and PC!!!
No itâs not.
Anyway, here is one really unpopular one, I think. I used to have fun with Pit Fighter as a kid.
The question is, for the game to be good or for you to be good at the game. Because I want the former, not the later (and I donât believe the later because I played the game when it came out).
Gradius III ACâs soundtrack sounds better than Gradius III SNESâs soundtrack.
Sorry. What I meant was: In order to enjoy WoW, you must invest a lot of time and effort into itâŚperhaps more time and effort that you would want to invest into a video game. To be more specific, end-game raiding is probably the most fun and excitement Iâve ever had playing video-games, but in order to maintain your status in a good guild, your attendance has to be top notch.
Naturally, playing more will make you into a better player, but it really doesnât take all that much to be good at Wow.
steve is more broken than jin in t.
iâve only heard one person counter this argument and they post on srkâŚand its the general consesnus on tz. ive never heard someone counter it til recently.
1,2,1 is serious buisness.
Funny thing is, that is where some of my complaint has been about the game, though the other complaint is that the end game stuff has lost its challenge. If a game is going to be fun it must be fun at least 70% of the time for me. It became 50% of the time when the game came out and 20% after that. Typical builds, toning down of instances, blizzard canât get PVPing right to save their lives, and the all around easy of the game just pushes me away. Iâm sorry, the game has lost its challenge therefore to me is not fun to play. I do not want to work in game and to expect to have fun in the game at the end and only get a boring time at the end.
This.
FFVI is RIDICULOUSLY overrated. Japan for once knows whatâs up and gives that game the proper âmeh itâs okay but IV was much coolerâ rating. Think Iâm wrong about how they feel? Check the number of IV remakes and the fact that Japan eats it up everytime.
Oh yeah the Tales Of series is lame
Not that I disagree with you, but it depends what you would define as âeasyâ. I didnât find end-game stuff easy at all.
Easy:
-Playing a class is easy. In a nutshell, just hit the appropriate spells/abilities at the appropriate times, while avoiding danger.
-Gearing your character is easy. Determine which stats are most important to your role, and put on the gear, enchants and gems that correspond to those stats.
-Preparing for raids is easy. Find a means of keeping a healthy stock of consumables and gold to repair your equipment.
Not easy:
-Defeating a new boss is not easy. Coming into a new encounter with limited knowledge is always challenging. Itâs a battle of mental attrition, staying focused, being perceptive of boss abilities/tendencies, and putting your heads together to determine the how to kill the boss. Itâs like solving a puzzle, where you need the help of 24 (or 39) others to find the next missing piece. Finding that final missing link to your strategy and having the entire team executing it perfectly can take up days and days to achieve but it is the most satisfying thing in any video game.
-Dealing with guild politics is not easy. Not everyone on the team is humble, tolerable and self-sacrificing, and not everyone will get along. It takes a closely-knit team to overcome obstacles like conflicting personalities, loot-related drama, attendance/turnover, keeping morale high, and just keeping everyone happy in general. Coming together as a team is a challenge and makes success that much more gratifying.
So yeah, doing what my class is meant to do in a given boss fight is easy, but everything in between is hard.
And we are supposed to think what japan thinks?
Seriously, IV was good until Cecil became a Paladin. After that it was a sweet and wholesome story (yawn).
We like to see the good guy win, but we also like an easy fall guy as a bad guy and that just bugs me. IV is second, but VI will always be first.
Iâm sorry, but after playing the game when it started, their is nothing left to figure out about the bosses. They are basicly, get a proper spec team and run that shit. They donât change and they donât have anything difficult about their AI.
About guild politics, leave that garbage out. Its a game. People want to have fun, so quit getting people that get their panties in a bunch and have fun. If you join a guild, it is because you are like minded, not because that have the same raid scheduling that you want. Like minds have fun, unlike minds dick around with each other. Seriously, I am in a guild in GW, and there are no poltics there. And it is the same in WoW. Its just that people leave themselves open to the dicks of the world.
To be fair, IV blows chunks too.
Even more so than VI.
If you think FFVI is overrated, your gaming opinion is definitely unpopular with me, but I respect that. However, saying what Japan knows and likes isnât a very good argument. Japan may be the birthplace of video-game culture but it isnât exactly the high-council of the video game world. What they say isnât the bible. Besides, if the consensus is how you determine which game is good and which game is not, wouldnât that make every âoverratedâ game âgoodâ and therefore not âoverratedâ?
Anyway, I felt that VI had the most complete storyline. While there wasnât a single character that was focused on, most playable characters were very well-developed more-or-less, in terms of storyline. Personalities were believable, and the characters were lovable. Dialogue was done perfectly. Each character was unique, not only in how they spoke, but how they chose convey each emotion, if at all. If the writers made up a line that wasnât in the game, you could guess who is most likely to say it (and not just because line ends in âkupo!â) The circumstances that made them join the fight against Kefka were all believable. Hell, even little subtleties like their unique combat abilities gave them even more personality. What other FF game can say all of these things?
Furthermore, about the storyline, it is far from cliche. How many stories do you see where the heroes try to save the world from apocalypse and utterly fail, but continue to fight for a glimmer of hope that the world can flourish once more? Kefka was the perfect bad guy that you just loved to hate. He was the perfect balance of a lust for power and just downright insanity. If his shitty SNES-quality laughter sound effect doesnât send shivers down your spine, you should check for a pulse.
In terms of gameplay, VI revolutionized RPGâs with the ATB system, and arguably executed it better than its successors. The Esper system not only gave you a way to customize your characters while still allowing them to be unique, it also tied in perfectly with the storyline. (BTW, donât tell me finding/equipping Materia in VII tied in more closely to the storyline than finding/equipping Espers in VI). Sidequests were plenty. In fact, the second half of the game is technically one big sidequest. The game is littered with Easter Eggs that arenât central to the plot but still provide development for the characters, or just for fun, such as Shadowâs dreams, Gauâs father, etcâŚ
Iâm sorry, but however much you prefer any other FF title or even if you just hate FF games in general, there is just no fucking way that anyone can deny how good FFVI is. Itâs the Mona Lisa of video games.
So basically there is no good final fantasy
and btw WoW raids might be âhardâ or âchallengingâ the first couple of months, but it gets old fast, and specially after you do that shit for years.I donât care what new gimmick they add to raids with each expansion, itâs essentially the same shit.Raiding for hours on end for crappy loot thatâs going to be replaced by greens/blues in the next expac.No thanks.Add to that the fact that WoW tries nothing to stray from the typical mind numbingly boring MMO combat.
MMOs are probably the worst kid of genre.Also, you give WoWâs crappy AI way too much credit.They really arenât all that.
V was the best Final Fantasy in terms of gameplay. Or at least the GBA remake. If you donât have it, go buy it.
All this FF talk reminds meâŚ
FF games suck too.
-Dreamcast wasnât a good system.
-Mario Sunshine was a good game.
-Smash Bros games arenât fun.
