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.

I think it's a generational gap. You're looking at it from a vacuum perspective while other people are looking at it from the 1998 perspective... You may think graphics are bad in your high definition screen but I guarantee you that everyone back then thought the graphics were amazing on the CRT. You need to understand we were playing the SNES before N64 came out...

Back then games were different, more simple in design and mostly linear. Ocarina of Time was a pioneer of its time. In my opinion it was the best game at the time it was released and one the biggest increase in quality to what we were used to play. Super Mario 64 is obviously up there as well.

Obviously you have all the right to dislike the game but no need to resent people who did enjoy it.

I agree. I suppose it depends a lot about when you played it, but unfortunately that also means that OoT hasn't aged well. I think WW on the other hand feels ahead of its time, it would fit perfectly with plenty of indie games today.
