            yep, if you draw a person as distinct in an MSpaint comic and that distinction has no relevance to the point, then you've failed to communicate, since the distinction would indicate to the viewer that it's relevant. happy to teach you something.

    yes. Look at all the popular video reviews on youtube. People think they are getting something completely different from what it is. You can find 3 hour reviews of King's Field where you might think you've been missing out on the greatest thing ever.

    Most people love the things they liked in high school. I listen to literally the exact same music as I did then. Same goes for games.

    This isn't universal though. Some games are legitimate filters. You can appreciate what something is but not enjoy it.

    Homm3 still holds up
    aoe2 still holds up
    Deus Ex still holds up
    BG 1 & 2 hold up
    almost every single early DQ and FF game hold up, and most of the best versions are on the GBA. 25 years ago.

    I've only mentioned games that I personally vouch for. I don't think anyone can argue too much of this in good faith.

                okay let's say that you have a 9 hour game that isn't very fun for the first 8 hours and in hour 8 you can open a book and there's the entirety of hamlet in there
                you could play through the 8 hours of chore to get to the good part or you could download hamlet.pdf and skip the charade
                in this case, it would still be a bad game to play even though it contains all of hamlet, because the book is experienced best outside of it.

      Closest case scenario was when I played FF8. All my friends just accused me of having my opinions about it tainted by internet discourse, or because I got too bogged down in the drawing/refining/junctioning system instead of just playing the game. Regardless, I still thought the gameplay sucked and the characters were shit.

      It wasn't until some years later that a couple of my friends replayed FF8 and realized I was right. They were very much operating off of their rose-tinted memories of the game, back when they were angsty high school students who saw the game as a weird self-insert fantasy.

      This is a huge part of the problem. Too many people get into old video games riding partially or even entirely on a wave of opinions from modern youtube content regurgitators who try to make everything seem timeless and flawless just because THEY like it. You even have the weird phenomenon where people become "fans" of games and series they haven't even played themselves. Strange times.

          it holds up because I can turn it on and still feel the magic I did as a kid. It's not just nostalgia. There are so very few good jrpg where you can swap jobs and weapons from the very beginning. It just feels free but without the complexity of a D&D system. I like the simplicity, I love the graphics. It's a good game and I'd play it before most new releases if I had to pick one.

          Any game that feels better when you take notes and make your own notebook map is timeless in my book.

          But it does hold up. The game mechanics are still good and the story is still charming. It's not like the game is overrun with flaws that ruin the experience unless you ignore them. Just because you don't like that style of game doesn't mean it doesn't "hold up".

      if you want a jrpg that holds up, chrono trigger does but i'm told that's specifically because the english localisation (and all translations based on the english localisation) is abridged and skips a lot of useless or redundant dialogue

        I would somewhat agree here but I'd also say this problem is mostly gone by about 1991(~FF4) and definitely gone by 1994 (~FF6). Maybe you'll want a few minor QoL hacks for IV but they aren't essential, the original game is still better than a lot of RPGMaker slop. If you still don't like the games the issue is most likely that you just don't like the core gameplay (the combat).

        Most people posting here can't distinguish between subjective and objective though or even willfully confuse them.

              It always is. Even if the reason you didn't like the game was completely moronic, the game still failed to appeal to you. That is the only measure of what makes a game "good". It's entertainment, it should be judged on how well it entertains people, and that's entirely subjective.

      otherwise almost every Ultima was a pioneer in RPGs in one way or the other. DQ probably won't be what it was without Ultimas.

      Both pillars games are "aggressively mediocre". Even if you have nostalgia for the infinity engine games they're aping (I do), I think the most that can be said for them is someone saying "I liked them and had fun" which is fair. But I cannot fathom of anyone ever saying "it's the greatest game in its genre of all time!" and they're not even old and janky with bad graphics or missing modern QoL features.

        For a good reason

        That good reason is that most of the series is not translated. It's a genuinely great series with a first mission that was too hard for people accustomed to anime girls equating easy game.

        Not even close. Not even close at all, no. You never played any of them. Totally different.

    Maybe, I don't remember though. Why would I dwell on something so petty? It'd make me miserable.

      It has to be studied why zoomers get so upset when they miss in videogames.

    No, because I'm the boomer and I don't recommend games to zoomers because I don't want them enjoying the things I enjoy.

    Ironically the only time it's happened to me is when I've suggested old games to people my own age. I'll show off something that I legitimately enjoy and they will go decry it and go back to something more modern without nearly the same depth. Meanwhile younger people will look at it, mess around with it some, and then either have something click and enjoy it or at least concede it's something that has to be worked at to get enjoyment out of when they just want something that's easy to play.

    The most closed minded people are always older which is just natural human biology. The older we get, the less open to new things we are.

      The most naive and suggestible people are always younger which is just natural human biology. The older we get, the more we value our time and the less bullshit we'll accept from the stupid and underinformed.

        That would be more believable if I didn't see people playing the same games I recommended years later. The desire to avoid things we're unfamiliar with often blinds us to new experiences.
