Did Everyone Dislike CC ?

[Dreddz]

Ive been playing this game for a bit now ( got to shadow forest )
And I think its great, but people dislike it. I mean, it got 10 out of 10 in Gamespot
Thats something, Personally, I would give it a 9, but peopole put it down because of the large cast of characters

Thoughts ?

I loved it, personally.

I thought it was one of the best games ever.

there were a lot of characters, but the thing is, there also tons of paths to choose that determine which characters you can get, which gives motive to play new game + so you can use the chrono cross to get the characters from previous files, and it's like a goal to try to get every single one. so i don't think that makes it bad at all. of course, the character development isn't THAT great i guess, but they always come into the story every once in awhile, for maybe side quests and things. the game was really great, sooo many things to do, and very hard to get bored of. thas my opinion at least.

I love this game. Playing the game over and using different characters from the time before, to learn more about them and such. Great game, I think.

Chrono Cross was an amazing game. One of my top five favorites, actually. The complexity of the story was nothing short of brilliant, the gameplay was innovative, the artistic style really added to the atmosphere, and Mitsuda's score is probably my favorite in any game.

People didn't like it becuase it wasn't a carbon copy of Chrono Trigger. That happens a lot these days. People claim they want change and innovation, but when they get it, people usually bitch that "whatever" isn't like the original "whatever". Hell, if Chrono Cross was too similar to Trigger, people would have bitched, too. There are far too many cynics in gaming, but that's a different thread.

Anyway, I loved Cross.

I also liked this game, I would give it a 8 or 9 out of 10. Mainly due to the fact that the characters aren't developed as well as I'd like.

Great game and while lacking somewhat in one department it does a good job making up for it(as in I still got attached to several characters and learned to hate several characters. And it wasn't even due to their power :P). But yeah the game was also a tad easy... wished thier was a higher difficulty level.. particually for new game+. But I really liked that fast forward option!

Is it Xenogears or Final Fantasy tactics? no. But is it an excellent game. Oh yes. The problem is that like all sequals it is doomed to be compared to it's legendary predecessor. The great paradox of CC is that if you play CT you will compare CC to it and think it isn't is good. But if you haven't played CT you will not appreciate all the refrences. My one problem is that they crammed all the exposition onto the second disk.

Yea, it was another case of name lame. Coudln't live up to it's name for the CT fans. And I used to be a rabid CT fan. Not that I changed my mind, but I played that game so much for so long, that I could never look at it ever again. When I tried Cross, it bored me. I never played it all the way through. I'm sure it all had to do with CT.
And incidentally, I hardly had any problem with the originally named Square releases, and those RPGs of other companies that were fresh names. Not saying I loved them all, but at least they kept my intrest.

Stop naming games the same as others just to sell the name when the game is too different AND unrelated. I'd rather see different games openly than trying to inject a known name into a new game.

How was it a thing like Trigger?
CT:
~ 7 unique characters with very intricate back stories.
~ ATB
~ Learned Techs
~ Not field magic system
~ Traveled through time and things you did affected certain outcomes
~ Battle system consisted of Attack, Techs, and Items

CC:
~ 40 unnecessary characters who could have all been skipped
~ Not ATB
~ Bought skills, learned a few techs
~ Field magic system
~ Traveled between dimensions
~ Battle system was more complicated than CT's

Anyway, I liked CC for the first 20 hours. Good fun, it was. Afterwards, it just got way repetitive.I honestly don't know how CC got a 10 on Gamespot, as that's putting it up there with Ocarina of Time.

[Sepho]

That's what's he's sayin'.

And I'm a big fan of CC.

I thought Chrono Cross had one of the most throught-provoking and amazing stories of any game I've ever played. I didn't like the battle system that much, but it was well made, and overall it was a fantastic game.

exactly. the storyline was very well thought out. but truthfully, when I compare it to CT, CT fails miserably. CT wasnt intricate enough for me. The characters were great, but it seemed to me more repetitive thatn CC. I have to agree with most everyone else that the only thing wrong with CC was the lack of character in most characters. But I still thin Pip rocks.
