recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

I think it's a generational gap. You're looking at it from a vacuum perspective while other people are looking at it from the 1998 perspective... You may think graphics are bad in your high definition screen but I guarantee you that everyone back then thought the graphics were amazing on the CRT. You need to understand we were playing the SNES before N64 came out...

Back then games were different, more simple in design and mostly linear. Ocarina of Time was a pioneer of its time. In my opinion it was the best game at the time it was released and one the biggest increase in quality to what we were used to play. Super Mario 64 is obviously up there as well.

Obviously you have all the right to dislike the game but no need to resent people who did enjoy it.

While I agree there is no need to resent people for liking a video game, I can also sympathize with the feeling of bafflement and frustration that can result from everyone you know absolutely loving something you think is total rubbish. :P

I'm 45. I thought it looked terrible back then, I still think it looks terrible now. A Link to the Past looks a thousand times better than Ocarina of Time. I'll take good pixel art over polygon counts so low you can count them on your fingers any day, and that was absolutely my opinion in the 90s just as much as it is now. I recognize that I have always been in the minority with that opinion, I just wish people like you would stop telling me I don't understand. I do. I just still don't like it.

alttp is THE Zelda game to me. It is one with graphics that, to me, still hold up really well.

While I do still enjoy OoT, there is a lot of it that feels like a slog to me. And it definitely does not hold up well graphics wise.

I agree. I suppose it depends a lot about when you played it, but unfortunately that also means that OoT hasn't aged well. I think WW on the other hand feels ahead of its time, it would fit perfectly with plenty of indie games today.

[–] pathief@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I would argue that among the 25+ year old games OoT is at the very least one of the best by today's standards.

I only played wind waker on the Wii U, where the graphics looked really nice. Personally didn't enjoy the game as much as Ocarine of Time but alas.
