I played through it and enjoyed it but one it was definitely far from how highly rated it is. For one thing, the battle system is extremely simple. Very limited stats and just your standard RPG setup of Attack Magic or Item. The only thing that really made Chrono Trigger "unique" was double and triple techs and the many endings which doesn't really affect gameplay anyway. I found much more stood out in the sequel which no one liked.

WTF is wrong with you?

Fact: Chrono Trigger is the greatest ~~RPG of all time!~~ JRPG of all time!

Fact: That's a matter of opinion and some people think JRPG's and turn based RPGs are terrible, like myself, and think the greatest RPG ever is KOTOR.

But seriously, that's what makes Chrono Trigger so good IMHO. It doesn't have a lot of the stupid crap that makes JRPG's annoying (like convoluted stories that make no sense for example). Chrono Trigger was like my JRPG gateway drug and I still haven't had any RPG surpass it yet.

Hahaha Good save there. Yeah I never played it I figured it was just another turn based/menu RPG like the rest. Honestly after I played FF 7 I never wanted to touch another RPG like that again.

KOTOR is turn and menu based but it's so fast paced you can hardly tell plus is has choices and so much more to it. That's why I like it. Then you got your Fables and such as well.

Didn't Chrono Trigger come out years befoire FF7 though?

愛 · 09-15-2007, 09:59 AM

Chrono Trigger was on SNES. Many years before Playstation was even revealed to the public as being in production.

And to me, Chrono Trigger is THE best video game of all time. No game has given me such an enjoyable experience. But of course, that's just me. You can flame all you want.

**GK Punk** · 09-15-2007, 10:00 AM

That's something I can't flame anyone over, good sir.

Yeah, I played Chrono Trigger. It sucked so I stopped playing it. But also, I think JRPG's are nothing but endlessly boring tripe, so I'm not really an authority on the matter.

Yes indeed but that doesn't mean I played it when it came out. I played it when this kid I went to school with wouldn't shut up about it when he heard a new one was coming out on PS1 and lent me the first one.

*Deathknight* · 09-15-2007, 11:37 PM

Chrono Trigger is a good game it was just nowhere near as good as almost any other RPG I've ever played. I found FF6 to probably to be the best turn based RPG of all time. Only problem with FF6 is it's pathetically easy. Kefka definitely should've had like a million hp at the end. I beat him in one turn.

Peanut · 09-16-2007, 08:55 PM

I don't know how I forgot this one - Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.

I was so psyched for WW, especially after how amazing SoT was. Unfortunately, they decided to make the game suck in a lot of ways. The fighting and platforming was better, but the enemies, music, style and story were so horrific that it completely ruined the experience for me. Between metal thongs, Godsmack fight music and the Prince sporting a new form of badittude, I was super disappointed in how it turned out.

Yeah, I fully agree. I still enjoyed it but it was awfully lame in many, many aspects.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 09-17-2007, 04:23 AM

Its called Selling Out for Dummies.

And F-Zero Climax for GBA. Never touch that abortion of a video game, even with bio-hazard level rubber gloves. Its pure trash.

Same goes for Wario: Master of Disguise; an insult to the old R&D1/Intelligent Systems Wario Land classics.

Peanut · 09-18-2007, 01:03 PM

Weren't you busting a nut over that new Wario game? You were hyping that sh*t for like three weeks.

Leogeddon · 09-18-2007, 01:07 PM

my biggest disappointments are:
Nintendogs
Animal Crossing: WW
Phoenix Wright
Super Mario Bros 2 (it's fun for a while)
New movie games, the old games based off of movies (in SNES) would usually rock, but now a day.... nooooo.
Ultimate Spider-man
3rd Gen Sonic (for 360 and Wii)
Twisted Metal Black
GTA: SA and GTA: VC

how can the wii be a giant disappointment?? It's got mostly fun games, if you just get the games for graphics, then you can't call yourself a gamer.

**Barkworm** · 09-18-2007, 01:12 PM

Fun games like what?!

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves
Metroid Prime 3
Wii Sports (to a degree)
SSBB (coming in Dec)
Mario Galaxy should be fun
Super Paper Mario
RE 4
Zelda: TP
Red Steel

Bold = ROFL as they're horrible.
Italics = They aren't out.
Underline = On Gamecube, and in most cases better.

FAIL!
