the things that overlap between the games are things that are in 90% of jrpgs regardless

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

most korean MMOs specifically have a shitton of grinding because they can't supply content at a steady rate to keep players playing and looking out for new content. it's terrible, don't get me wrong, but if you truly do like the game it becomes a trivial point.

in singleplayer games however, there is an END to your game, so you shouldn't unreasonably pad game hours just to stall the player from reaching it. offer challenge, not mindless grinding to be able to finally advance.

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

Unless you're playing a traditional turn based JRPG like dragonquest then most of the game is all about the grind and difficulty. Games like DQ push you to grind and not just skip that content and coincidentally is found enjoyable by a big playerbase. Grind is good and can be fun as long as it's done in a balanced manner.

Earthbound is on another level, as arguably bad as the game is, u need to appreciate it for being one of the first rpgs in a unique, non magical fantasy setting, and for how ambitious it was

Alot of things in it are amazing concepts, like scrolling hp for example

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

I think this is part of the reason I like it so much. Sci-fi in RPGs is really underdone comparatively- it's always some kind of fantasy, whether it be eastern, western, or final

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

im well aware of how good earthbound is, but its definitely flawed

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

I would say it can be confusing at times (especially when the runaway 5 is involved) if you don't know exactly what to do, and the part where poo has to finish his training is absolutely brutal
but outside of that I dunno if I can think of anything that would make it as bad as undertale

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

My experience playing it the first time was really positive, despite the challenge and confusion at times. It felt all that much more rewarding to get through things.

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

I'd agree that it's overhyped and that the cult following isn't really justified.. Not sure why it happened, I think the fact that Nintendo released it and advertised the hell out of it to little success contributes to that tho

Like a game with great success never gets a cult following, it's largely due to it being "underrated"

Also I know it's irrelevant to the game itself but earthbound soundtrack is veryyyy good, the music inspired many artists tbh, I'm a big fan of starship amazing

Ok u got me, I'm an earthbound fanboi

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

sorry but that song is trash
I only listened to like 20 seconds

this guy

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

i never said it was overrated or the cult following isnt justified
I think its an amazing game , but it has its flaws, mostly rooted in sticking to conventional and outdated mechanics of older rpgs despite breaking away from other tropes and aspects of them. (especially the menuing. the menuing is fucking awful in mother 1 and 2)

also i agree that song is trash

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

I get what you mean
Having to switch items around between players can get irritating even though it's logical that Jeff can't use a bottle rocket that Paula is holding
And limited inventory space is of course just a system limitation

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

I also remember not being able to buy multiple of the same item at a time, but that may have just been mother 1. its been a while since I've played it

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

I don't recall an instance where I wanted to buy more than one item at the same time

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

Tidus has a great laugh

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

hey ur not allowed to say anything when you gonna tell me 95% of video game music is trash :mad::mad:

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

yeah it should be a higher %

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

Night in the woods is a fantastic game with one of the worst endings of all time
Hanging out with socialists and criminals wasn't great either but the rest is A+

Re: Unpopular gaming opinions thread
 

I agree
