Hey nerds.

Ocarina of Time is mid

Compared to Majora's Mask? Absolutely.

You woke up and chose violence, huh?

It very much is -- now, by modern standards.

But back when it released there wasn't really anything better. Except maybe Goldeneye, or Mario Kart / Diddy Kong Racing for those diehards.

Diddy's racing career has never been the same since the allegations

Have they found T.T.'s body yet?

It was incredible back in its day, but that was over 20 years ago.

It came out closer to the release of the NES than today.

It is. It's been surpassed by games that came after it. Today it's a, rather "generic" 3D Zelda game. It gets praise for being the first, and people being nostalgic.

Y'all went supposed to be reasonable

I missed out on that game when it first released, but my best friend had rented it at Blockbuster (apparently the one copy they had wound up stolen later on) and told me that it was great. I was like fourteen, it was 1997, and FFVII had made me obsessed with JRPGs and I NEEDED to find a copy of Chrono Trigger. I spent MONTHS trying to track down a copy. This was before the internet as we know it today and so I had to scour flea markets and garage sales. I grew up in Orlando and there weren't really used video game stores around. But I remember driving with my mom somewhere and seeing a sign on a shop that said "used video games." Walked in and there was a copy, in the box. I think I paid like $40 for it.

Incredible game. Might be more incredible because of the quest to find it.

I'm going to go listen to Corridors of Time immediately

i am 15 hours late but i hope you're still jamming to it as i hop in and start blasting it on the speakers for the whole neighborhood

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Just got into work, saw it still in my tabs, and started playing it again lmao

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Never liked turn based JRPGs. Chrono Trigger is just another JRPG, so... Meh.

[–] fleem@piefed.zeromedia.vip 4 points 3 days ago

that's a shame! incredible story. The introduction of many tropes that now seem normal, the score is absolutely fantastic, especially for a SNES game

First of all, how dare you.
