[Classic] Over-Rated SNES Games

Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen

Anything made by Quest actually.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Chrono Trigger is overrated, if only because it's only the second-best RPG on the SNES.


After 'nigma.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wait....when did Secret of Evermore become loved? I mostly remember long posts ranting and raving that "How dare they bring out this shitty half assed Secret of Mana ripoff game instead of a true and proper Secret of Mana sequal!".

As for myself, I found Secret of Evermore alright, but not the hellhole that the haters preach or this lost hit that the lovers claim.

I still cry for the fact that almost nobody knows about the glory of Warsong.

I really enjoyed Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen. I don't recall it having a huge following though. It wasn't hated on like Evermore, but I rarely recall people praising it. This might be because like Warsong you couldn't find the damned game anywhere.

Hint hint nudge nudge I'm being a jerk~

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'll say it. SD3 was alright at best. To me, the Mana series took a total downturn when they got rid of the attack % charge bar and instead replaced it with BUTTON MASH BUTTON MASH SPECIAL ATTACK. If you look at how the gameplay changed in the SD games, SD3 fits perfectly in with their removal of everything that made SoM the best action-RPG ever (sorry Terranigma, you get a close #2).

SoE was a game I really wanted to love, but the alchemy system (goddamn that clay hardball spell was so strong until I got into antiquity ) and general blah-ness of it ruined it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Thank you .. I have always thought I was just a bad at it. The game was to hard and I wanted it to be good so much back then.

FELIPE NO

Earthworm Jim 1,2 - played them, beat them. Thought it had great art direction and humor but was otherwise unimpressed.
Secret of Mana/Evermore - boring battle and lack luster plot. SD3 was sooo much better.
UN Squadron - I like shmups and this game definitely let me down big time. Especially after it was proclaimed best shmup of all time by screwattack.

I'm glad people are mentioning Terranigma in a positive light. One of the most underated and underplayed SNES games. Man, I loved that game.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The only reason Terranigma is underplayed is that it never got released in NA. It's pretty much universally loved.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Earthworm Jim 2 seemed like it was trying way too hard to be funny. I think the first was good though.

Personally, I always thought that the Legend of Zelda for the SNES was overrated. I truly feel that while it was solid, there are many games that are far better for the SNES.

Similarly, I didn't think that this was a "bitch out the one you disagree with" thread. I made the claim because I believed it and if you don't like it, stay on topic.

STAY ON TOPIC...

This.

I was going to bring this game up but decided it would just unleash too much of a backlash from people who still see their experience with it through rose-colored glasses.

A Link to the Past was an okay game but it wasn't groundbreaking, nor was it even particularly original. It was just a retread of most of the things that made the original Legend of Zelda good, with some updated graphics. The Dark World was pretty gimmicky; even by the time the SNES era came about, the idea of an identical-but-sinister alternate dimension was already starting to get played out.

When viewed in the pantheon of Zelda games as a whole, Link to the Past is pretty mundane. Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker and hell, even Minish Cap have more charm and replay value. It may not be 100% fair to compare later games to the early, foundation-forming titles in the series , but by equal timeframe comparison, Super Metroid was also only the third in its series and that game was leaps and bounds a more inspiring and thrilling experience than Link to the Past managed to be.

But nostalgia plays a large part in fondness and it's hard to dislike Link, so I can see why people think Link to the Past is better than it truly is.

Oh wow for a guy who claims to be big into retro gaming you really don't know much about the history of vidya

I mean I suppose yes the fact that the original Legend of Zelda was top-down makes this game a hack

also that it features a dude named Link

How ya doing, buddy?

The knee-jerk U SO RONG reaction to my opinion is only helping to prove how overrated A Link to the Past actually is.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yes, Crash. And all that Weird Al that's bowed out in round 1 of SAUS over the years? You were right about all that, too. Your taste is impeccable.

Most amazing jew boots

That would totally apply if I nominated any of it, moron.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well, maybe it wasn't SAUS. You've nominated Weird Al for something, and got all butthurt when nobody else liked it. We have a different song contest every week here, fuck if I can keep them all straight.

Doesn't change my point.

Edit: Just checked, you've nominated Weird Al not once, but twice for SAUS.

Moron.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My taste is my own. This doesn't make me any more wrong than it makes you right.

Doesn't invalidate my point.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So the point of this thread was to point out things that everyone agrees to be overrated?

Am I the only one that sees the inherent flaw in this

I mean I think he's wrong too but jesus dudes



V no see uh you guys appear to be confusing "overrated", a subjective notion, with "bad", an objective notion, which

The whole POINT of an OVERRATED!!! thread is to dis on games other people liked

it's kind of inevitable

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

"I never did that. Moron." "You did. Twice." "Well okay yeah. But still somehow you're wrong."

Wow.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Oh yeah Link uses a sword in this game, re-tread

Yes.


As far as the topic goes, I have always thought Star Fox was pretty overrated. I guess the graphics were kind of impressive at the time, but the strict flight paths made it feel really underwhelming.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

1: Played A Link to the Past. Thought it was okay but nothing special.

2: Played it again about a decade later. Still didn't find it to be as amazing as others said it was.

3: Played other Zelda games. Found them more interesting and exciting.

4: SO UNINFORMED

FELIPE NO

you think LTTP was rehashan. I don't know how else to describe you other than ignorant.

Most amazing jew boots

But Crash what you're missing here is that a lot of people like it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think it's safe to say the anger in this thread needs a quick cool down period for Crash to remember that he knows how to think and the rest of us to remember this whole thing has been a joke since word one.

A thread on how overrated SNES titles are is quickly filled with schmuck opinions and headshakingly bad taste.



The kitten is the only one surprised.
