Fuck Activision! They've taken one of the icons of my childhood, and replaced him with an inbred purple goblin.
I wrote a whole paper about how imperfect Kingdom Hearts II as part of my application for college. That game is very flawed. Fun but flawed. Kingdom hearts in general holds a very special place in my heart(no pun intended) but the gameplay is far from perfect. Each of #2's systems(drive forms, magic, summons) have a total lack of balance, rendering many of them almost useless. The worlds are drab and dull, with a budget of about 5 NPC's per level making them feel far from lively or magical like the films they try to mirror(no crowd in the Olympus Colosseum has always bugged me, especially when they cheer your victory). The Quick time events only require you to mash the triangle button repeatedly, and the plot is way to up its own ass(ruined the beautiful simplicity and emotional resonance of the first game). I understand the love people have for this series, because I love it too, but these are supposed to be close to perfect games we are talking about and there is no denying that KH is full of flaws.Hound174 said:Respect awardedCarlos Alexandre said:I don't have very many.
Donkey Kong Country 2 is really up there. Not a perfect 10, but just shy.
For me I'd have to say Kingdom hearts I and II, GTA San andreas (And I'm not even a fan on sandbox games), portal for obvious, Bioshock. and it wasn't a 10, but it was so Different and amazing and effective..

Well, the release dates in my list above range from 14-11 years (sole exception being Vampire). These games may not be vintage classics but calling MS-DOS and PS1 based games new would be wrong. Aside from these I regularly play 'Mario RPG', 'Final Fantasy 6', 'Gabriel Knight', 'Castlevania 3' and such.michael87cn said:Those games aren't old enough to be retro......Xerosch said:There are quite a few that come near the Perfect 10 for me:
Vagrant Story
Thief 1+2
Planescape Torment
Baldur's Gate 2
Vampire: Bloodlines
Realms of the Haunting
Chrono Cross
Xenogears
and so on. Yeah, I'm a retro.
I want a fraction for it.Snowalker said:Prefect games don't exist, so they don't give them anything... and if one did exist, it'd be treaty like Jesus and spawn its own religion...ReturnPostage said:Well, that's what a whole fraction means to me. If 10 out of 10 isn't perfect, what do they give perfect games?bussinrounds said:10 out of 10 doesn't mean it's perfect.
I think that's what I like most about it, ALL Zelda games have the same basic structure: Save Zelda by going from dungeon to dungeon, upgrading on the way. In MM they turned it around, there's no Princess and the best parts of the story aren't even in the main line (Saving the Ranch's cows for instance) plus the whole time system was refreshing. Most people hated being restricted to 3 days, gave it a bit of a challenge though and if you ever wanted to visit the mountain in Spring time again just redo the boss via easy teleportation.CINN4M0N said:Ocarina of time is always referenced and quoted as one of the greatest games of all time but I think I liked Majora's Mask better myself. You're the only other person I know of who thinks the same as me, but it truly was better. There are waaay more side things to do, (there's all the ususal: the big quiver, the big bomb bag etc, plus one for each mask), the teleportation system is improved a hundred times over, and morphing into a goron or a zora never gets old. Deku, less so.Tanfastic said:... Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask......... and the masks in LoZ:MM Really made for an interesting way to do things in game instead of same ol' Link.) These games are all great, i'd suggest playing them if you haven't.
Plus it's a break from rescuing Zelda from Ganon.
