You know what's even more than Psychic type pokemon in gen 1? Normal types. No i am not kidding, normal type moves in gen 1 were way stronger than in later games. And this actually means that the top three pokemon in gen 1 (aside from mew and mewtoo) were all normal types. This is because the fighting type was absolute trash, because hahahah, psychic types go boom. It feels kinda weird to have normal types be overpowered.

I'd rather have the 7th Emerald in Sonic 1 already be in Eggman's possession, with him losing it to you if you knock him as he tries to escape after being beaten out of his final piston trap so as to give that move purpose beyond utterly humiliating the ovoid overlord.

You know...looking back...you're totally right about Sonic. My first Sonic game was Sonic Adventure DX, which aged about as gracefully as cheese, but it's the kind that you just can't help but look at and shrug; it's not hurting anybody and at least it's not totally repulsive. In a way, the quality of Sonic games tends to swing like the pendulum of a grandfather clock; time will tell if Frontiers winds up being one of the best in the franchise, but with Ian Flynn being a major writer for the story, there is promise. :3
@sonicstar9172 жыл бұрын
Ian Flynn is an overrated writer. He prioritizes plot progression over characterization. With him, characters only exist to propel the plot, even if it results in OOC moments. As if that wasn't enough, he shifts the blame to SEGA for "mandates." Not to mention, the man only cares about siphoning off praise from as many people as possible. So many Sonic fans praise him as if he's the Savior of the franchise and worship him like he's some freakin' god. The truth couldn't be farther from that; if it wasn't for Sonic, Flynn would be a nobody. In all likelihood, Flynn is probably going to be the narrative writer, which is mostly just outlining the story and plotting out its structure. Those kinds of writers don't have a hand on the actual story or its script.

I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying, both Penders & Flynn have their strengths & weaknesses just as all writers do. Characters are just as important to the story, but if the plot is hamfisted & ramshackle, then the characters aren't going to be able to salvage it; the opposite is also true: if the plot is making the characters do things they wouldn't otherwise do for the sake of moving the story forward, then the story needs to be revised otherwise we might as well just use brand new characters, ya know? Besides...not like one person alone is responsible for the entire project's success; unless it's an indie game made by one dude, that's not fair to the rest of the team who worked as hard, if not harder, on the project. ;)

@@bluestreaker9242 Okay, I'll point to IDW Sonic. For starters, Amy Rose is suddenly the leader of the Resistance from Sonic Forces, even though that position belonged to Knuckles in that game. Amy has had no experience in military operations, and she's not somebody known for her tactical skills. Other characters could've easily taken that spot, such as Rouge or Espio, or even Tails! Matter of fact, a lot of people have noted that Amy in IDW acted a lot like Sally did in the Archie comics. With no proper explanation, it comes across as Amy being given favoritism, since Flynn is a major Amy fan. Another issue is Dr. Eggman during the notorious Zombot Arc. After having unleashed the Metal Virus onto the populace and turning them into "Zombots," he and his associate, Dr. Starline, soon discover that these monsters no longer respond to his commands. While Starline is concerned about this (and rightfully so), Eggman initially brushes it off and says he'll figure out something. It's not like Eggman to be this careless, especially considering how he made sure to keep his minions on a leash in Lost World and Forces, even mentioning in the latter how he "learned from his previous mistakes." But in IDW, he barely tests the Metal Virus, and when things go pear-shaped, he doesn't start working to fix it. Fans have asked Ian about this, wondering if it was related to Eggman recovering from his amnesia trip, or if it the direction SEGA wanted him to take the doctor. Flynn responded by basically saying that Eggman has never really had a solid plan, even citing the doctor's plans from previous games. That would seem fine, but Flynn fails to realize that several of those examples are dure to outside forces that not even Eggman could possibly see coming.

For the Western release, the Arcade Mode has different physics from Gran Turismo Mode, and the Soundtrack is completely different. 2. Galaxian: Plays rather simply compared to its much more memorable sequel, Galaga. There's no capturing, you can only shoot one missile at a time, and there's no challenging stages. 3. Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure: Only a select number of Skylanders can actually speak, with the rest making unintelligible gibberish or noises. Level cap at 10, A great amount of Glitches compared to its sequels, No Jumping, but swimming is possible for certain Skylanders, no side mini-game like Skystones, and has the most broken balancing for PvP battles.

Awesome list! I agree with most of the entries which genuinely improved after their rocky start. Yet despite their aging, some games like DMC 1 and Ratchet 1 have aspects that I appreciate a lot compared to other games in their series (DMC 1's slightly darker tone and unique gothic aesthetic, and Ratchet 1's story and writing). One game in particular that I feel didn't age well was the first Fire Emblem game: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light for NES. Playing this after Three Houses just makes me feel grateful for how far this series has come, but it's especially rough today. Most of the characters didn't have strong personalities like in some of the later games (Jagen and Camus are cool tho), certain classes like Knights couldn't promote, the area your units can move isn't visible and most egregiously, healers couldn't gain experience through healing! You can only level up your healers by having them be attacked by enemies and praying that they miss (good luck keeping them alive). And unlike most of the entries on this list, there isn't really a good remake besides the Japanese-exclusive Fire Emblem 3 which had a slightly improved version of FE1 (Shadow Dragon is ok but not one of the better FE games). If SD were to get an Echoes-style remake (which is unlikely considering an FE4 remake is more anticipated by fans) I think it could reimagine the story and characters like what Echoes did for Gaiden. If Gen 1 Pokémon can get two different remakes in the span of 14 years, an Echoes-style FE1 doesn't sound too impossible.

This is something that plagues all the Uncharted Games, as well as The Last of Us and it's sequel: Lock-on AI. Enemies can aim and shoot at your EXACT LOCATION, even though solid objects regardless of distance as if they have both Lock-on AND X-ray vision!

When it comes down to Ratchet & Clank for me personally; I've always felt alone on this when I feel that going down the route it did in terms of Gameplay in sequels has always felt like a downgrade in a lot of ways. Like the 1st game felt more like a platformer with some puzzle like weapons combat whilst the sequels were all basically third person shooters with some platforming here and there the way I've seen it. Running in guns a blazing was clearly never the best approach to take in the 1st game thanks to the lack of strafing but it sort of played into how you'd need to strategize and think of what approach to take and what weapons to invest in and use (which also meant the bolt scarcity was less of an issue unless you wanted to invest in the RYNO) unlike in the sequels where the combat has been intensified with strafing in mind, making it less about strategy and more about gunplay. Whilst upgrading weapons does indeed sound like a great evolution to the gunplay, incentivising players to make use of all weapons without committing to any favourites, it also means there's less room to be strategic about what weapon to use at any given time, you'll just struggle a lot using the worst weapon choice for the wrong situation, just because you want to level it up at all costs, which I guess doesn't really matter much when the weapons themselves have all started to become homogenous with the new controls with one or two acceptations. Keep in mind, this ain't much of a debate as to what exactly is the better approach in Gameplay, fans have already taken a liking to how the sequels tackle this approach as shown by how far the series has gone. I do think however it is worth highlighting that because of the sequels focusing more on gunplay that we never really see the more puzzle like weapons combat of the 1st game improve or expanded upon much, I wouldn't consider it flawless, there's room for improvements but for the most part, we never really see any of it in the games that come after 1. There are a lot of games like Ratchet 2, but not a lot of games like Ratchet 1. Overall; one approach isn't necessarily worse than the other, it's basically all up to you on what way you want the series to be. On a personal note though; I genuinely wasn't really feeling it by the time Rift Apart came out. After playing it, I got the feeling that everything was streamlined and consumable. But even with how much the combat has improved, even in a few large ways, it was starting to become mind numbing after several enemy encounters, it kind of showed off how much of an interest in the Gameplay I've lost since the 1st game. Only other game I feel like I did genuinely like the combat a lot in was Gladiators but that's simply because the game was more so made with the heavy focus on combat in mind and actually opts to be honest about the Gameplay by having little to no platforming involved, in addition to a lot of tweaks that were made in that game with the combat in mind.
@rac1equalsbestgame8532 жыл бұрын
I agree with you. RaC1 is my favorite in the franchise because it feels like a puzzle/plataformer with shooting elements on top. And it did it perfectly. I don't mind the lack of strafe, I actually have no strafed up to Crack in Time and I honestly, especially enjoyed CiT a LOT more with that handicap. The newer games feel monotonous and repetive, and it makes the weapons feel samey IMO. It doesn't help that the stupid autostrafe they introduced with firing even if you are not pressing strafe makes it imposible to do no strafe, and I wish I could do that handicap on Rift Apart.

I’ve thought of more cases of FGS. Time Crisis: compared to the sequels, you don’t get any flashing warnings for those kill shots. Also, you actually get a game over when you run out of time in the original, whereas in later games you merely lose a life. Also, it was purely single-player which I feel was only to justify protagonist Richard Miller as a “one-man army”, whereas Time Crisis 2 onward was made to have co-op available. And then beginning in Time Crisis 3, we get multiple weapon options. Onimusha: similar case to Devil May Cry, with the fixed camera angles and everything. It wouldn’t be until Oni 2 that things would begin to really pick up. Mario Party: Oh gods above, the original Mario Party is BRUTAL. Especially with the rotation mini-games. That, and there’s all the gimmicks that wouldn’t be introduced until MP2. Spyro the Dragon: Yes, even Spyro 1 has some noticeable issues that would be addressed in sequels. Basically, a similar case to Crash Bandicoot. Persona: Oh man… the original PS1 game did NOT age well AT ALL. It had issues that were somewhat mitigated by the PSP remake. And of course we have the Persona 2 duology. And then starting with Persona 3, we’d have the traditional slice-of-life formula that the rest of the series would follow.

(Lack of checkpoints in missions, main character is mostly mute and strictly male, can only save at your house, lack of fine aiming due to your character shooting Gangsta and story being more grounded like GTA instead of the wackiness of later games… though some fans prefer this)

Honorable Mentions Super Mario Kart: The tracks were simplistic, the controls pretty loose, and following 64, it was pretty confusing to see the item boxes on the floor instead of them floating around. And if I remember correctly, the item boxes didn't respawn so people falling behind would be screwed over. And the aforementioned N64 sequel fixed all that and would maintain these improvements throughout the series. But if you ask me, I think I'd be glad with an MK game that just had remakes of the N64 stages, given how I love it so much. Tony Hawk Pro Skater: It lacked the trademark moves one would commonly associate with skateboarding, including manual, as featured in later games, which also had more variety in the presentation. As innovative as it was, the wild side of skating games could be found in subsequent games. Including its remake alongside Pro Skater 2! Wasn't nearly as bad as Pro Skater 5 though. Resident Evil: "That was a close one. You were almost a Jill Sandwich!" Heh, need I say more? Then again, the voice acting is one of the more legendary parts of the first game. But you gotta admit, the atmosphere, controls, characters, and monster designs the series became known for were still to come. Kingdom Hearts: Really slow combat compared to 2 and 3. Strangely made the bosses harder than they probably would be in those games. The story hasn't aged a day, though, they've always been silly. Jet Set Radio: God, do I miss this series... I guess it kinda doesn't count since they only made two games, but it's still really worth noting. If you aren't a fan of the original's time limit, lack of control variety and lack of combat, you'll be pleased to know that Future took all that into consideration. Its world is a lot more explorable this time around, being an open world game where one can spray around at their own pace. Graffiti QTEs are replaced with swift spraying, wall riding and rail combos, and best of all, you can knock down policemen! The original game still had unique things to offer, but if you gotta pick one, I recommend Future more. Again, sad to see it die off so quick. Spyro: Like Insomniac's more modern classic, the first game was still pretty good, but it was limited in comparison. Weaker voice acting, the NPC variety was found more in the later games, and the bosses didn't even fight you. It was once you got to Avalar where things got really good. The Reignited version gave the dragons more visual personality and beautiful remakes of the realms. By the way, the Japanese version was 10 times worse, so it's even more of first game syndrome over there. God of War: People know God of War these days for the arc Kratos goes through in overcoming his past. I wouldn't blame him for wanting to forget those awkward temple puzzles and annoying final boss.

I actually think the original KH has the best story. As unrefined as the combat is, I still think it's the best game in the series regarding everything else. It has the most straightforward plot in the series and it's the only game to actually properly integrate both the Disney and Final Fantasy elements into the narrative instead of having them be filler.

Ratchet and Clank 1 is one of the best RaC games IMO. The controls are weird and obtuse for begginers but once you get used to them they feel so liberating and it feels like you can do whatever you want. Every facet of the game has strategy from what weapons you put on your quickselect, which weapons you use depending on how good in the situation they are vs how much ammo they have, how you tackle the bossfights, etc. You cannoy cheese fights since the guns blazing strategy is practically nonexistant and no quickselect pause makes it so you choose your weapon before fights and get really fast at switching them Add on top of that the execelent story, music, graphics, chracters, voice acting, stellar levels and so on there is what is my personal favorite RaC game. It gets massively better the more you play it, that's not a compliment I can give to the modern Ratchet games

Ratchet & Clank 1. Not only do your weapons not upgrade at all, but your health doesn't upgrade from killing enemies either; instead you're stuck with a measly four hits or so for the entire game, making the game far more frustrating and archaic-feeling than 2 and 3.

To address one of the honorable mentions: Mass Effect is pretty awkward in that if you don't play it, your playthroughs of 2 and 3 will be unfinishable. You won't have saved the Rachni Queen, you won't have the option of romantically reconciling with Liara, and you'll have to put up with Wreav without Wrex to keep him in line. So as rough as Mass Effect 1 is, it's still an experience worth playing if you want a full experience as Commander Shepard despite the roving tank without a map to find important stuff. The trilogy is meant to be played in full pretty much every time so you may wish to get it in bulk, or the legendary collection or whatever it is called.

We've all got to start from somewhere, no one said it was going to be a graceful start though. That said, here's some honorable mentions of my own. • Kirby's Dream Land. Pretty much the most bare bones you'll get from the series as it lacks Kirby's signature copy abilities and the game is pretty much beatable in an hour. Great for when you need to use the toilet if you're tired of playing Super Mario Land for the umpteenth time. Also has a psuedo remake on 3DS via Kirby's Blowout Blast which is technically a test for how Kirby would work in 3D. • Touhou Reiiden (Wondrous Tale) ~ The Highly Responsive to Prayers. Instead of the usual bullethell gameplay we're all used to we have a Arkanoid/Breakout clone theme'd after various old Japanese mythology where a young girl named Reimu Hakurei pretty much flings a yin-yang orb like it's a toy. Also, one of the few Arkanoid/Breakout clones where you need to avoid and repel the ball *manually* or else Reimu gets crushed by her own weapon. • HyperDimension Neptunia (PS3). It's a far departure from what later entries would bring to the table and it shows. Also, for some bizarre reason you could rename each of the recruitable CPUs even though they already had pre-determined names which I'm glad was scrapped. My guess is that it was either probably a leftover from when the game wasn't going to be a parody of the console war that the devs forgot to remove or maybe it was to make the experience more memorable. Either way, like I said the idea was scrapped immediately when Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 was released. • Puyo Puyo. The original game didn't have many features that would eventually become staples of the series which meant you or your opponent just needed a good chain of Puyos and that's it. No tense back and forth hoping that your chain of Puyos is superior to your opponent's. • Mario Party. Pretty infamous for its minigames that required rotating the control stick and being slow in general. Also one of the few times where Nintendo got hit with so many lawsuits that resulted in them not only paying for the legal fees but also giving out gloves to each of the injured players. Would explain why it hasn't been re-released in any capacity until a few months ago via the Nintendo Switch Online service.

For the #2 Segment, it also didn't help that the Fighting-Type used to be on par with BUG for the worst type in Gen 1. Ice-Types were rare, Rock-Types were Tanks, Dark and Steel didn't exist yet, ergo Fighting-Types only had THREE purposes, those being HM Slavery, Pokedex fodder and Giovanni's Kangaskhan. And even then, Fighting-Types had barely any STAB besides Submission, Jump Kick and High Jump Kick (which were VERY risky moves) and sending out a Fighting-Type against a Normal-Type is pretty much pointless considering the Rock-Type takes neutral damage against Normal-Type moves and a good handful of Rock-Type Pokemon, like Golem and Rhydon, can learn the previously-mentioned Submission. Oh, and Karate Chop was a NORMAL-Type move at the time. Yeah, the Fighting-Type was done DIRTY. Also, I did a Nuzlocke on Blue a few weeks back and somehow got through with FOUR deaths, less than I would've thought. (Sorry if this comment is so long)

Crash Bandicoot 1: N'Sane Trilogy really makes the first game feel like a relic Trails of Cold Steel 1: Falcom may not be the most graphically powerful studio, considering it's very small compared to Square Enix, Atlus and Bandai Namco, but the first Cold Steel's transition to 3D was very rough. You're stuck in a military high school, which feels more like you're playing a Persona game, you had to go back to the Old Schoolhouse to advance the story, yeah. While the stiff, puppet like animation may turn some gamers off, you can get a really interesting story and world building if you put in the time. Yakuza 1 You're better off playing Kiwami if you wanna experience the story of Yakuza 1, especially with how the dub in the first game was handled. Thankfully Judgment, 14 years later, rectified that issue Kingdom Hearts 1: Play the HD Remaster, because the PS2 has Unskippable cutscenes Spyro The Dragon: Slippery charging, and no hovering Gauntlet: Shooting your food, which you need for health, and aforementioned health depleting Prince of Persia: Sands of Time: Platforming's fun, but the combat could've been fine tuned Pokemon Gen 1 Same as Kiwami: FireRed and LeafGreen WarCraft 1: Orcs and Humans. Only 4 units at max, Your only resources were gold and lumber, and the two races played exactly the same, now WarCraft 2 gives you a total of 9 units to control at once, and you have access to oil for ships, the races still felt very samey. It wasn't until Warcraft 3 where every one of the races felt more unique and different, and you had access to two new races. Undead, and Night Elves.

It still holds up decently, mind you, but there were quite a few quirks that make it feel weird to play in a marathon or to revisit, like the start button swapping the bro in front, with the SELECT button being to pause. Also, the game is REALLY unbalanced, with Chopper Bros and Mush Badges insta-killing almost everything imaginable, and a few off-model sprites for mainstay characters (LOOKING AT YOU, BOWSER!) These wouldn't be as glaring though, if the Original Mario RPG and Paper Mario didn't hold up as well as later installments, but they did, which makes Superstar Saga's quirks look even MORE baffling. Thankfully, the remake fixes all of the first game syndrome of the original, which makes it the definitive version for me personally.

Also the post game, well, ok, I'm not saying it's not massive, but in comparison to the later entries in the franchise, it's a butterfly in comparison. Noticeable, but still pretty tiny. Also unlike later entries that build up the main villain, the villain of the first game, Chairman McKraken, just shows up out of nowhere, right after defeating Dr. Maddiman. I mean I guess you could make the argument that the evil Yo Kai running amok are considered build up for McKraken, but considering they never reference him or even utter his name out loud, how the hell are you supposed to know that?

I haven't played the original Final Fantasy, but I would bet every penny that the original Dragon Quest has at least as much "first game syndrome" as it. You have no party, just the hero, which makes every battle a 1v1 (and Sleep nearly a death sentence), the customization and variety are almost nil, the keys are one use items, the dungeons have darkness in them forcing you to illuminate them with either magic or items (and your inventory is incredibly limited), Zoom only brings you to the first castle, there's no sailing nor flying... all in all, it REALLY shows it was the dawn of JRPGs as we know them.
