Too busy with Starcraft and Xenoblade atm though. I wouldn't worry too much about Chrono Trigger really if you haven't played it. If you are short on time then there are better games within the RPG realm like Arcanum, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate 2, Fallout: NV and Dark Souls to name a few. I think most people have a boner for Chrono Trigger like I do for FFVII. It's a solid game, but I am overly sentimental about the game to judge it fairly. | ||

I played it very recently without ever having touched it as a kid and absolutely loved it. It's not a nostalgia thing, the game is just that good. | ||

Both are heavly time consuming games (sadly, cose both are among the best games of all time easily). | ||

But it's really funny to see the impact certain communities have when mobilized. I wonder what would have happened if we had made a full TL StarCraft vote-mob. | ||

It's not a nostalgia thing, the game is just that good. Same here, except I played it twice. Once about 3 or 4 years ago (was 24-25 back then) and again last year. Game is really great. Except Skyrim, MGS3 and Undertale I think all the other games belong in the top 10 or 20. People getting mad about their WoW or whatever other game losing is funny for me, I don't think there were that many "outrageous" results tbh. | ||

But I can't buy it as a 'greater' game than Pokemon. Pokemon is great for twelve dozen reasons, not the least of which is its legacy. There are people twenty years later who dedicate most of their life to Pokemon. It was a huge market force that essentially led to a whole wave of cross-marketed products. The Pokemon anime helped make an entire generation of people aware of Japanese media. And at the heart of the media blitz and Pokemon craze was the games: they are legitimately astonishing. The technical accomplishment that was making and putting Pokemon Red/Blue/Green onto a Game Boy cartridge cannot be understated. It is unquestionably the biggest, most complex and exciting adventure on the console of the original Game Boy, with unbelievable replay value and depth. The entire game of Pokemon Blue takes up less than Pokemon Blue is 376* KB of ROM. The original Game Boy had only 8 KB of RAM, so they had to use all kinds of tricks and careful memory management in order to even make such a game possible. The game was written in assembly so it's basically a step above ones and zeros. Somehow they crammed a game in there among the sprites for 151 unique, different creatures (front and back) with their own stats and elements and characteristics. Into that space, they also crammed art assets for the tileset, buildings, and all the other characters and their walking animations, etc. etc. It's kind of mind-boggling considering a single art asset nowadays might take up significantly more than the entire Pokemon game. Open up a random PDF file. I can almost guarantee it's bigger than all of Pokemon, even if it's only a one page image. And they somehow managed to work with all that stuff in only 8KB of memory!? Hell if you copied and pasted this post into a notepad file, it already takes up more space than the entire fucking memory the Game Boy even had. So it's a wonder they could fit all that stuff on there and make it work. Pokemon essentially created the notion of 'catching em all' and instilled a sort of completionist fervor upon gaming that has affected the whole industry ever since. It is undoubtedly the best RPG on that console, and each Pokemon game since has consistently been one the best games on its own console... it's a testament to the good fundamental game design concept that was Pokemon. To this day there are portable games that offer less depth and enjoyment and complexity than the original Pokemon... not to mention obviously much less than its various successors. Undertale is incrdible but holy fuck how could someone think it's "greater" than Pokemon. And where was the unbelievably massive Pokemon fanbase in all this stuff? | ||
