After playing Chrono Trigger I have to ask - why the fuck did this get so much acclaim? Is it because people and critics are fucking clueless?

It was fun, it was unique, it was good.

Kill yoursefl

Reminder that Chara did LITERALLY nothing wrong!

Undertale is cute but I quit like 3 hours in. It's closer to a walking simulator than to an RPG, and doesn't hold a candle to Earthbound.

why do you do this?

Wait... are you the one who posts Goku in the Sup Forums threads? Did you stop doing that to do this? Why?

Nope, but playing the long game with the filename to make people think I was that same guy has finally paid off.

Because it's fun. Because it's so fun.

>unique
"No!"

It's the closest games writing has come to true meta-commentary on the medium of games and the people that play them since MGS2.

Chrono Trigger plays nothing like Undertale.

>Unique

What does Chrono Trigger have to do with that piece of shit in your image?

In case you haven't noticed "acclaimed" games are more about what you're doing than how you do it.

The story, characters and OST were quite good, shame the gameplay itself was so mediocre.

>story
Could've been good without the retarded meta shit and the blatant rip-offs.

>characters
You will immediately cease and not continue to access the site if you are under the age of 18.

>OST
Standart nostalgia baiting ost, nothing to write home about

Because Chrono Trigger has terrible JRPG gameplay. It’s probably better gameplay than Undertale’s, but CT expects you to do so much more of it to see the good bits.

The game is utterly disarming in its ability to charm the pants off you.

Most people who enjoyed the game reckon it's charming and doesn't overstay its welcome.

what does chrono trigger have to do with undertale?

>>The story, characters and OST were quite good

They're completely forgettable and generic. The characters don't have more than a few lines of dialogue each, and they're all the most basic archetypes possible: the tomboy princess, the nerdy scientist girl, the noble knight that's been cursed, etc.

The story is the most basic plot about a fight against a generic space alien. It's also a great example of how NOT to tell a time travel story. Lavos is presented as this enormous threat that wiped out a futuristic civilization. So do the characters travel back in time to stop him from awakening in the first place? Nope, they use time travel to do the extremely nonsensical thing of going to him when he's at the height of his power and then simply beat him to death. Three teenagers can easily take out the doom of all mankind.

The same applies when a certain character dies and the characters want to resurrect them. Do they use time travel to go back in time to prevent thier death? Nope, they're handed a MacGuffin that lets them save them. So what is the point of even having time travel in the story?

Even the much-lauded soundtrack is merely okay rather than something truly amazing.

Almost every story-driven RPG I have ever played (or even non-story driven ones like Morrowind) have much more memorable narrative, world building and characters than CT.

>charm

So this is the new buzzword the kids are using nowadays

It's fun and cute

That's bummer, user.

On one the original consoles or from a ROM on an emulator, right? Surely you didn't make the mistake of buying the steam version, right?

I'm talking about UT you dumb nigger. Which is leagues below CT.
