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~~
Ocarina of Time. I thought 3D games from that era had terrible controls and ugly graphics even by the standards of the time, and that’s only gotten worse over the years. Plus I just wasn’t really ever all that into the Zelda formula from the time between A Link to the Past and Breath of the Wild. For me Breath of the Wild felt like a return to form after decades of mediocrity.
I don’t even really think Ocarina of Time is bad, exactly. I just resent the fact that it feels like everybody I know holds it up as the greatest game of all time when in my opinion it’s practically the definition of mid.
For similar reasons, Super Mario 64. I know that if I was growing up in the 90’s it would have been the coolest thing ever, but I’m not and I’m used to more modern Mario games.
