The Dragon Quest series. Disgaea too.
Every final fantasy after 7. The Halo series. The Metroid series.

Nippon Ichi games, for awful gameplay based on stupid mindless grind, although I like the atmosphere.
Final Fantasy 10 and 12.
The World Ends with You. This game's popularity is a total mystery to me.
System Shock 2 and Doom 3.
All MMORPGs. The biggest waste of time and eyesight ever.

...but I left out GTA 1 and 2 from this list because I had way more fun putzing around in a top-down 2D format than the 3D one.

I feel restricted when looking at games from a top down perspective like in GTA 1 and 2. I want to see from the character's point of view at where I'm going.
However, I do prefer 2D games like Dragon Quest and some of the 2D Zelda games.

You remind me of my brother's friend. He has San Andreas and 4, and all he does is free-roam, since he can't get past some of the really early missions.
I managed to beat SA TWICE in two weeks. I'm seriously addicted to it, in a bad way. Once I get 100%, I'm trading it to my bro's friend to get my KH RE: CoM back

To add to my list:

Grand Turismo Series
Madden NFL-Insert year here- (I do like them, but I get bored easily from it.)
The Lego -Insert Movie to impersonate here- games(Same reason as Madden)
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja games
Final Fantasy 4. I'd say Chrono Cross too but to be fair I never really gave it a chance.

Also Tales of Phantasia (I think thats fairly popular?), and any FPS beyond PS2/Xbox era. (Besides Halo 3 and Resistance 1, which I think are pretty enjoyable.)
^^I was also gonna mention Chrono Cross but that game was never good, so it doesn't fit this topic, I guess...?

GameSpot awarded the game a perfect 10, one of only six games in the 40,000 games listed on Gamespot to have been given the score, and its Console Game of the Year Award for 2000. IGN gave the game a score of 9.7, and Cross appeared 89th in its 2008 Top 100 games list. Famitsu rated the game 36 out of 40 from four reviewers. As of July 2007, Game Rankings rates Chrono Cross at 92 percent.

Metal Gear Solid/Ac!d/Portable Opps/Other games related to said bull shit series. The first wasn't actually that bad and third, rest are shit.

Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver, Granturismo series, World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy I/II/III/V/VIII/X/X-2/XI Crisis Core.

Ratchet & Clank Series(Except Gladiator, great game)
I can think of three examples...

1. Halo series, specifically single player. The multiplayer is a blast for awhile with friends, but I just can't bring myself to give a shit about Master Chief or all his cliched friends.

2. Zack and Wiki. Professional reviewers claimed the game was like mana in the desert, but I felt like the puzzles were inconsistent. The controls could be so frustrating that it just wasn't fun trying to figure out treasures; even if I knew what to do from a walkthrough, just accomplishing it was difficult.

3. All Castlevanias, including both the classic and the Metroidvania flavors. I did kind of like Super Castlevania 4 for the SNES, although I couldn't beat it. I just finished Circle of the Moon for the GBA, and it was... OK, I guess. I just always thought it was weird that Dracula didn't do more vampiric stuff, like constantly sucking the blood out of folks or anything. When I played C:CotM, he seemed more like Satan than Mr. De Ville from the book. And somehow Death itself is (almost?) always Dracula's bitch. I also dislike having to grind for levels in a sidescroller (I also dislike that one Genesis game, Wonder Boy in Monster World).
Chrono Cross is amazing. I sadly never finished it, but as soon as it's releasead on PSN I'll drop everything and do so.

I guess that's supposed to impress me or make me change my mind or something.

Let's look up the terms opinion, facetious, and tongue-in-cheek, while you're at it...

What's there to dislike about Chrono Trigger?
Possible spoilers etc:

The game is way too easy, not just because you basically breeze through the game never having to level up, but because all of the sidequests and shit are pretty much thrown directly at you so that you don't need to look around, or explore, or prod the game or otherwise stimulate your brain at all to discover any of the non-linearity in the game. I super especially hate how much they gave away the already kind of obvious quest with that stone that needed to be exposed to the sun for like 65002000 years (I forget most of the details but I know that it was horribly given away), where it's like "hmm... this needs to be exposed to something really hot... and really big... like THE SUN... and it needs to be done for a long time... like maybe SIXTY FIVE MILLION YEARS... or something".

the disappointment of Chrono Trigger is compounded by the fact that the time-travel aspect of the game (aka pretty much the whole game) was done terribly - almost nothing you do has that much of a "lasting" effect on the future, if I remember correctly even opening chests in the year 600 doesn't ruin them for the year 1000 - even if I'm wrong about that, my point is that there aren't enough consequences in the future for the things you do while you're in the past.

Don't get me wrong, some parts of the game are done very well - the Dark Age (12000 BC) world was very memorable for me and the game has a lot of very likable characters (it's not exactly difficult coming up with "stereotypical prehistoric character", "stereotypical future character", "stereotypical middle ages character", etc but whatever, that's irrelevant)
Out of curiosity, what 8/16-bit era RPGs do you like?


FF6, Robotrek, Pokemon, Earthbound, etc

Well, FF12 has a lot of high scores too, but... No one can convince that's a good game.


I rather liked Chrono Cross, though the storyline got a little WTF after disc 1 and I hated what it did to Chrono Trigger. Still, I had fun playing it. I just didn't take it very seriously because it was clear they were just making up shit.

Ok. It just seemed like the complaints you had were basically on the games light heartedness and simplicity, which I thought was characteristic of the 16-bit era. I think similar complaints could be made of most of the (great) 16-bit era games.

Isn't that generally the case with fictional forms of art..?


Well of course. But the writers of CC, to me at least, seemed as if they didn't have a clear idea on where exactly they wanted to take the game after a certain point. The plot came off as a collection of loosely-connected ideas rather than a clear, cohesive storyline.

But it's been yeeeeears since I've played the game and I don't remember much of it, so I could be way off base.
It should've been called Radical Dreamers 2 or EX or Redux or something...
