I have tried to play 'Zelda: Ocarina of time' on N64 a few times but just can not get into it. To me the puzzles are annoying and obscure, the combat is boring and the graphics have that annoying washed out choppy N64 look. Most reviews for this game claim that it is perfection. Can you name a game that everyone raves about that you tried to love but end up hating.

Good question,

I think im the same with the zelda on the 64, but then again - i never did get into the original zeldas.

A particular genre that i dont like is RPG. I never did get into those games

Zelda OOT was absolute class for it's time. In terms of action/rpg's (not like most J-RPG's, Final Fantasy for example) it was groundbreaking in many respects.

Brad if you had the time to devote to a few RPG's they would end up being well worth it...Secret of Mana is probably the most sought after game for the SNES, not too many consoles can boast that.


Mine is Virtua Fighter, in every one of its inceptions...I really enjoy Tekken though, and it is fairly similar....i think its the crazy technical aspects about it that put me off

Super Mario RPG doesn't do it for me i think it shameful that they made a mario game like this very ordinary
