this seems too high for paper mario to show up but if it missed the list then that's a massive snub
― ciderpress, Friday, 13 November 2020 21:42 (three years ago) link
not that it is necessarily fair to compare majora's mask and ocarina as votesplit candidates but had their fans rallied around ocarina, it'd be #6 (so... not much of a move tbh, most oot voters also voted for mm)
votesplit victim i forgot to mention: wipeout xl could've finished in 11th, just shy of fft

MM and OoT are such different beasts and I voted for them both. Trying to organize my thoughts & feelings about OoT is difficult. Also, it is like the video game equivalent of The Beatles in having been discussed to death; it's hard to know what else there is to say. That the title screen forgoes heroic fanfare in favor of Satie-esque melancholy was pretty unusual for the time and is sort of a microcosm of what this game does well.

otm, as is MM’s title screen forgoing music at all in favor of an ominous whoosh and inscrutable giggle

Also too low, dammit!

if theres actually people who think 1 is better than 2 then they deserve the vote split

mario kart 64 seems to have been reevaluated as being the worst mario kart in recent years which, i dunno if i agree but the gamecube one is definitely way better
― ciderpress, Friday, November 13, 2020 4:17 PM (thirty-three minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink
all the other mario karts have way too much going on, things flying across the screen willy nilly. 64 also has the best soundtrack.

so our top 5 is 1 nintendo game, 1 squaresoft game, 1 rareware game, and 2 konami games?
― ciderpress, Friday, 13 November 2020 21:57 (three years ago) link
if not then there's an even bigger snub than paper mario in here

curious to know what ciderpress's snub is now bc they've def locked down the finalists
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Friday, 13 November 2020 22:07 (three years ago) link
I think I voted for the first tony hawk jus because the second is just a refinement and better maps. second is a better game mind you, ho hum

if we ever do the ps2 gen i promise to submit a ballot that has 0 games in common with anyone else's ballot and then cry when they don't place

no spoilers please
yuffie dies
― difficult listening hour, Friday, 13 November 2020 22:17 (three years ago) link
i do not think i will ever play it again but i sure do ahve fond memories of playing all the way to the end, going to my friend's house, getting his save file at the same spot except grinded up to 99, beating the weapons and the game
― Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Friday, 13 November 2020 22:20 (three years ago) link
I was one of the 1st place voters. I know it’s a basic pick and most people seem to think it’s aged horribly but the nostalgia of this one is so strong for me, along with one of the presumed top 3. Also it earns its place for the music during the final battle alone
― crisp, Friday, 13 November 2020 22:21 (three years ago) link
can you play psx emulators with speed boosts? if you could compress that grinding i think it'd still be playable!
the art direction in its environments -- midgar, that weird casino, the place red xiii was from, was legitimately mind-boggling at the time. i don't think any other game ever felt more like The Future

who is ready for the top 3 games
these are extremely real

TOO LOW.
― difficult listening hour, Friday, 13 November 2020 22:28 (three years ago) link
the rare game where i’d say the objective is just to move around in it until you have to go to bed.
― difficult listening hour, Friday, 13 November 2020 22:30 (three years ago) link
no one has ever managed to make another game that feels like Mario 64 to play. it is truly singular
much like Iggy's Reckin Balls

So much for either of the Fear Effects making it. :\
I voted for FF8, which was my first RPG, full stop, and this OTM * 1000:
triple triad + the demented, uh, elegance of the junction system.
I think I played the whole game with a walkthrough just because of how intimidated I was, but damn, junctioning Ultima to your stats was a heady feeling.
RE2 was the only RE game I've ever played, it was definitely fun but for someone who LOATHES horror and jump scares, I never felt compelled to try any others. And FTR, the scene where the licker jumps out at you the first time STILL scares the marbles out of me.

in that one the objective is to crouch and convince your friends you got “the big version” of your gun
― difficult listening hour, Friday, 13 November 2020 22:36 (three years ago) link
(xp)
also appreciate that FF8 settles on a character art style. looks kinda like a sierra adventure.

but damn, junctioning Ultima to your stats was a heady feeling.
otm otm otm, my most lingering memory of this game is literally getting like 50 ultimas and junctioning it to myself (i didn't even remember the term until now lol)
