@waltercool People would take them more seriously if they didn't do shit like this.

@vriska How many solids were in there?

@vriska So what did your shift manager wrote you up for this time?

@ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior @JSDorn You take that back! He probably would've gotten more love if NoA localized more of his games.

@ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior @JSDorn Starfy lovers.

@matrix @hj @Alex Breath of the Wild is still impressive in that a lot of it's effects are in real time (most Wii-U games would have them prerendered). A lot of those effects are on par with Unreal Engine 4.

@coolboymew @Moon @why I think Phantasy Star I has aged better than most other 8-bit JRPGs. Though the psuedo-3D dungeons are easy to get lost in and the constant shift from top-down to first person when talking to people or looking in your inventory can get pretty annoying.

@coolboymew @Moon @why 2 was why too slow and clunky for me. 4 was my favorite, having a more refined gameplay and a much more fleshed out story.

The first one is also good if you can handle an 8-bit JRPG.

@matrix @hj @Alex Nintendo developers seem to be competent at least (not just talking about Iwata). I always found it impressive what they were able to achieve on N64 cartridges for example (Star Fox 64 should not be able to have that many voice clips). You also had Masahiro Sakurai, who while is more known as a designer than a programmer, wrote the enemy patterns in Kirby's Dream Land entirely in hexadecimal, and he was just 19 years old.

Wind Waker uses two lighting techniques on a system that doesn't support programmable shaders. Super Smash Bros. Brawl was able to do the same thing.

Even outside of Nintendo, Namco was able to include an intro with lyrics for an SNES RPG. Capcom was able to port some of their 32-bit games on the SNES while still looking impressive. Star Ocean 1 had a fully voice intro cutscene.

Modern game devs in general are pretty incompetent though. I can agree with that.

@hj @matrix @Alex I thought they were usually good. Satoru Iwata and Yuji Naka immediately come to mind.

@Alex @matrix Pokemon has it's own fucking section on the Idiot Programming TVTropes page.

@hj @pony It is in the black market.
