IGN's Top 100 Games

[Cowutopia]

Sonic is overrated and I owned all of them. I even traded my NES in with all of my games just so I COULD own a genesis and sonic 1 and 2 early. I still regret that. That's when I stopped trusting other people.

I don't know why I kept buying them or even why I played through them, I didn't really enjoy any of them. Kind of like Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door.


So, sorry Frog.

Link to the Past was amazing, at the time it came out and now.

Ocarina of Time did a great job as far as control and camera were concerned (by standards of the day) but it wasn't really very fun. Slow paced.

Agreed.

Did you find Z:TP to be better than Z:OOT?

Agreed.

Did you find Z:TP to be better than Z:OOT?

Never bothered with it.

What's not to like? They were fast, flashy, and still deep as hell.

OOT has nostalgia going for it. TP I never even finished, I was losing enthusiasm steadily and halfway through the last dungeon I just stopped kidding myself that I was having fun.

The zelda that ruined the franchise for me was actually Minish Cap on GBA.

MM is the best of the 3d zeldas, no joke, with WW in second. I'm with the F-Chans on this one.

Wind Waker had the highest highs, but also the lowest lows, and the lows were far more plentiful. Everything that wasn't a dungeon were probably among the worst moments in gaming ever in my book.

Worst moments in gaming ever?

Sonic is better than Mario is Missing, Mario's Time Machine, Hotel Mario, Mario Pinball, Mario Party, I am a Teacher: Super Mario no Sweater, DDR: Mario Mix, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, and maybe Mario Teaches Typing.

Sonic Adventure is better than Mario 64 though.

P.S. Super Mario World still sucks, and apparently Miyamoto agrees with me.

I agree with you too. Mario World is about as good as Sonic 2.

I can agree on Sonic, I never got it. But why the hate on Gunstar?

No hate on Gunstar, it's a decent game with a lot of variety. It just doesn't last long and never caught me for replays. I liked Vectorman a lot more.

Also, I hold firm that the only people that could deny Sonic 1 or 2 are people that never owned them and fucking played them at a TRU kiosk and went back to their Nintendo fanboy caves. Absolutely some of the best the genre has ever seen.

I had a friend across the street who made me play Sonic 2 every day until i beat it. It was fun at first, but after Chemical Plant, i just couldn't stand the stupid game. It only got worse and i really started to hate going over there. Then it was Road Rash, which i never had fun with. Sonic 2 gives me headaches and nightmares.
I liked the original until college when i finally really sat down and played it. When i realized how little variety there was between levels, i never went back. Every few years i think maybe i was wrong, but i always prove to myself that i wasn't.
Sonic for NGPC, despite being a slightly remixed Sonic 2, agreed with me a lot more.

Worst moments in gaming ever?

Yes. Staring at a blue screen and occasionally having to tap the analog to keep a shark from hitting me for 15 minutes at a clip is not my idea of fun.

It's as if they somehow managed to take all the fun of a loading screen and make it worse.

When it was fast you had no control. The rest of the time it didn't feel fast at all, he walked slow and when you rolled you were vulnerable most of the time. they WERE very pretty, and they were kind of boring. The levels were too convoluted as you went on, and the backgrounds were almost too noisy. Some stages gave me a headache. The up and down scrolling pissed me off in places where you would die jumping down because you weren't sure what was down there, didn't like the feel of Sonic's jumps, they were too floaty...on and on I could go.

All the rolling around was bullshit. It was more like watching a cutscene than anything. Without a ramp you couldn't really take off as fast as I'd like. You'd rev and rev up and kind of, bleh out of it.

I admit there were a lot of secrets to find, that was the only thing about them I really liked. The levels were "deep" but most of the time I think they were just too big for their own good. I enjoyed maybe...a quarter of the levels in each.
