You see, this comment alone undermined the credibility of the rest of your post. We're discussing it in GG, but it's the memories of a gaming demographic unfamiliar with FPS before Goldeneye 64 that has given the game its reputation, not it's map design, game balancing, mission direction, or shooting/movement mechanics that made it so great, and I'm sure Vivi22 would be more than glad to list a plethora of PC games before and after that utterly destroy the quality foundations of the game.Originally Posted by Goldenboko
By the way, weren't you in diapers when Goldeneye 64 was released ?
It's times like these I wish I knew you in real life so I could give a great big bear hug because DAMN SON YOU SOUND MAD!!!
First off, social commentary ftw!!! IT WAZ A REVOLUTION!!~!!!!@!!21311!!!
Seriously, though, I wish you read my whole post because I admitted even there that I'm tempted to say FFI was a better game than FFXIII is. And even how the ingenuity and heart of FFII's music overshadows much of what is released today.
However, I simply cannot buy this whole technology/progress thing. There's certainly games made with better technology that are worse than FFI-III. But the games in the series were not, and I have to give them credit for it, there has to be something going on there. And it's been 10 years or more for games like FFVII-IX, and I still have such a great time playing them even now. A lot of that is admittedly due to technology, ie how smooth the battles are, how complex the music is, and how well animated/brought to life the characters are. But there are many things which are not due to technology, such as the character archs, plot threads, character customization/development systems.
Lastly, I DID NOT SAY FFI-III ARE BAD GAMES. They are among my favorite games, and FFII especially is among my absolute favorites in the series!!!!
I'm just able to be honest and evaluate them critically
