Now Kirby's Dreamland 3 I have to disagree. Because for one it was late in the life cycle and the last first party game they did. It flew under the radar, the game did what it set out to do, look like a coloring book. The graphics are better than you stated, they had to use a different technique to implement that water color look. A lot of people love this game. Tell the Japanese it's overrated 😂. We can agree to disagree I agree with most of your content. Not Kirby 3 though it just didn't click with you.

the hype for donkey kong country is well deserved. sure the other parts of the series where better in some regards but usualy when people praise donkey kong country the mean the whole trilogy on the snes anyway. I personaly still like the original first part the most because its so iconic and has this nice basic story of the bad crocodile king stealing donkey kongs bananas and you go to the top of the mountain to defeat him on his pirate ship. its a perfect classic video game plot. the bosses especialy the first 3 are simple af but its all so well executed and not overdone... the controls, the music and the graphics still hold up today you can still play this and it still feels good even compared with modern jump&runs. f-zero and mario kart also still hold up. they still look good and they are still fun to play. top gear on the other hand just like road rash, pole position and other racing games in the same style where you dont actualy have a real racetrack but it feels like you are fixed on some kind of endless scroll or something.... sorry man thats just outdated trash. people maybe have nostalgic memories for it but racing games at the time needed the mode 7 rotational map to come alive. before that it really was the dark ages for racing games. it was useless, it played like ass and the games dont hold up today not even rad racer, super hang on or outrun. I would show them to a young kid to show them what old games were like but I wouldn't expect anybody to have fun with this stuff today.

@XiongGou6 жыл бұрын
Captain Astronaut I would say that FFV is not talked about or “underhyped,” due to the strange localization process with Final Fantasy games. There are still people who call Final Fantasy 6, #3 because that’s how it was released here. So V not being released in the US hurt it quite a bit I think. It’s still one of the franchise I’ve never really played but really want to... just gotta make time.

In my experience, the Famicom Phantasia is so unknown to the western world I was surprised to even see it mentioned here, especially as an overhyped one, since people rarely know what I talk about when I mention it to them. For me, it's one of the finest RPGs of its era with a better take on the technology-took-us-back-to-medieval-times-theme than both Secret of Mana an Chrono Trigger (even though these are damn fine games as well), and to how they managed to get such character development from just text and no voice acting as they did in Phantasia is just beyond me! For me, it's everything but overhyped :)

people overhype it thanks to the "Arche fucks like a tiger" meme. Phantasia SNES is probably the worst version.

Hell even SO1 is better, though I recommend First Departure R for that.

Disagree on Demon's Crest. You make it sound like a bad thing that there are secrets and passageways to discover with other gargoyles. If anything it gives the game replay value. And the levels are too short and straight forward to 'not know were the hell to go'. But then again, I played it longer than 15 mins. It is actually an underrated game. Like Actraiser. The worst thing about Demon's Crest is that it is very short.

final fantasy 5 ancient cave hack is a must try. It makes the game infinitely better.

I very much disagree with you on Demon's Crest. While I could definitely do without the demonic theme, the game is absolutely fantastic. It's kind of like Metroid, but they took that idea and did there own thing with it. It's a pretty unique game. I would never call Donkey Kong Country over-hyped. It wasn't over-hyped when it was released, and it holds up extremely well to this day. Complaining about it by saying that the sequels did certain things better is just silly. That's what a sequel is suppose to do! Yeah, the sequels are better games, and that's how it should be.

But the way you presented the issues of the game was really good! Many people just rant about popular games they don't like, but you presented your arguments in a well mannered and objective way through comparing the game with its sequels. This way you can defuse arguments early on and your actually won me over (to an extend) by pointing out the issues I realized since the first day I played it. I really love DKC1, but the item placement really infuriated me as a kid. While it didn't age as well as its sequels and looks kinda simple in comparison, it started this awesome series.

Nintendo Power rated DKC as game of the year in 1994 over FF6, back when Nintendo Power was still a pretty big deal. I don't know if DKC is over-rated today, but the hype did get a little out of control when it first released since everyone thought rendered graphics were so amazing at the time. It's still a great game and even a classic but I can see where SNES drunk is coming from.

+Arctica171 The Super Famicom version of Phantasia is flawed from inconvenient apporach to melee battles against aerial enemies to poorly planned learned magic order (Have fun going through Ymir's Forest/Treant's Forest with only 15 panacea bottles). FFV put attention to combat in a way many entries wouldn't dare to do today and... gave you options to play however you like, not even FFIII gave you such opportunity. FFV gets overlooked because people want to play a game for story and not to play the game itself, so naturally it doesn't get much attention.

Zicconnuts I don’t think people overlook FFV for any reason other than it wasn’t released in the west until very recently. When I was younger we didn’t even know it existed, due to Square’s weird localization process. I was so confused when FFVII came out for a long time... “Final Fantasy VII! Wait did I miss something?” - 12 year old me.

+XiongGou Final Fantasy V has been available in the west since 1999 being part of the Anthology compilation, though released near the end of the PS1 life-cycle. That being said, it was a bad port of the SFC version with bad sound quality and localization, on top of having need to load.

You can't say DKC was overhyped because future games improved on it. At the time, the hype was completely justified. Also, the 100% completion isn't necessary to beat the game. It's an extra thing, so issues with it being non-intuitive are pretty minor.

Underhyped- EVO: Search for Eden, really awesome platform where you upgrade your animal with new parts to evolve yourself so it has some RPGish elements. Fish level->Amphibians->Reptile level (let's you turn into a bird if you want)->Mammal level x2 where you can turn into a human. Lots of weird stuff in the game too including a really hard to find alien level hidden in the Reptile era.

Could not disagree more regarding Demon's Crest. I think it has some flaws, but the level design is *fantastic.* The way it has multiple nonlinear levels which are huge and sprawling, with paths leading to different boss fights with different rewards, is just fantastic. It's essentially a middle ground between Super Mario World and a full-on Metroidvania.

I think Chrono Trigger is overhyped. Now before you all assume I'm being an edgy bastard, I have legitimate reasons supporting my opinion: 1. The pacing is all over the place. The story doesn't really begin to pick up until you reach Zeal, and by then you're about 3/4 done with the game. Even worse is the amount of backtracking you'll be doing up to that point. Whereas most RPGs don't have you backtrack until you have a means of quick navigation, Chrono Trigger makes you visit the same locations multiple times long before you get the Epoch. So much time is needlessly spent trudging across the map trying to reach a time portal to take you to the Brink of Time just so you can hop to a different era and undergo a long trek to yet another time portal. And all the while you'll be fighting the same enemies in the same spawn locations every single time, desperately hoping there's a way to run past them that you missed the other 5 times you ran through the area. 2. The character development. RPGs are known for their character development, and Chrono Trigger is no exception, however it implements this poorly. Half of the characters have the majority of their development locked away behind sidequests. Lucca, Frog, and Robo all have hefty story bits that expand their stories, but you won't discover these unless you play some sidequests. To make matters worse, these sidequests aren't even available until you get the Epoch. Having small bits of character development tucked away in sidequests is one thing, but to make large chunks of story that contribute to the characters only accessible by way of lengthy endgame sidequests is just poor design.

You complained that you have to play levels over again, but you neglected to mention that you do so with different forms and it unlocks new areas. Its painfully obvious that you just played the game a little bit, and then made it fit your narrative for the video. Try again.

"Its painfully obvious that you just played the game a little bit, and then made it fit your narrative for the video." Oh please. Demon's Crest has its own video on this same channel. "You complained that you have to play levels over again, but you neglected to mention that you do so with different forms and it unlocks new areas" That's right it did, and the level design STILL was not a good enough match with all those cool abilities. That's my entire point, the level design did not hold up its end of the bargain. But, you're still under this weird impression that I'm calling it a bad game. Demon's Crest is not a bad game. The entire point of this channel is about managing expectations for the player. You recommend it, but I'd rather play something like Sparkster. There's nothing inherently wrong with that.

I love FF5, but besides labeling the story as lighthearted, I would also call its structure fairly, well... stupid. There are some transitional moments in there that are incredibly hard to swallow, even with all of the suspension of disbelief in the world. I will give you that it's a much more involved game than FF4 though, which although good has its reputation carried mostly through nostalgia. FF4 has its strength (good level design, some hard fights near the end, and forcing you to adapt your strategy a lot through constantly changing party members), but from a storytelling perspective it's a bit of a dusty relic. And to be fair to F-Zero, it's pretty challenging in its own right. I sure as hell can't beat it, anyway.

FF IV is vastly superior to V. The only thing anyone ever talks about when referencing V is the job system. People have fetishized it into something it's not. Just because a game had a different gimmick, but literal garbage story, and literal garbage overall plot/game progression (how many times were you forced to warp back and forth between "realms" or "worlds" or whatever?) Its an insane way to drag out a needlessly long game. And on the topic of "but muh job system" for Christ's sake, III did this years before and yet most people act like II (which has its own problem for sure, but not like V, at least it has a compelling, if basic, story) and III don't exist! V is a mockery to me, of the entire series. It's not even witty enough to be a satire or self referential parody, because it doesn't commit to that. It literally half-asses everything compared to other games before it, with its one trick pony gimmick, that everyone likes to tip their fedora to, which in and of itself, while perhaps somewhat forward thinking in design, is not even that useful, as others have pointed out. There really isnt much incentive to swap around jobs or play in creative ways. Yeah, I guess you CAN make a party of 4 time mages, but would I ever want to? Not really. This game is traumatically bad compared to other Final Fantasy games, ESPECIALLY IV which actually has a beautiful story and themes for something told through chibi sprites. V falls between the asscrack of IV and VI, both games that have vastly much more to offer in terms of an experience, which is what RPG's and Final Fantasy in particular, are supposed to be about. Not grinding away hopping back and forth through the same worlds wasting your life away for a retarded nonsensical story about a guy named, "Butz". Its as if the programmers knew the whole game was like a stupid fucking fart joke in the midst of the actual intellectual conversation that are the Final Fantasy games.
