Perfect Games Anonymous 06/25/2024 (Tue) 05:54:37 Id: 60379a No. 983419
Are there any games which you consider to be perfect vidya? Just pure distilled quality. Here are two games I consider to be near-perfect (they have their glitches and exploits like any other piece of software).
>>983419 Depends on your definition of perfect, personally I consider DMC3:SE to be the perfect game. Although that depends on what you consider the perfect game to be.
>>983419 >>983472 I'm just trying to think of a game where I played it and had near zero complaints or nitpicks about shit. I genuinely can't think of anything.

Most of the games I would consider perfect are quite simple, like pic related. What's the most complex game you can think of that you would consider perfect?
>>983523 Fallout 3. Fallout 4. Fallout 76. It just works.
Perfect? No. But there are a few games that come about as close to perfect as any game reasonably could come. >13 sentinels >Fallout 1 >Heavensward Just those 3 that I can think of right now. I want to add new vegas but that game might just be a slight bit too buggy to be called perfect.

Pretty easy lol. It's fine if you disagree but you're going to personally attack, harass and give out death threats to people for just holding an opinion and minding their own business you should reallly consider touching grass. You know it's because of people like you that minors have to go to therapy right?

>>983535 Remember friend, assume makes an ass out of you and me. Don't start a fight when there nothing happening yet. Also EB is my fav game of all time and I love M3 as well.
>>983535 none of those games are perfect, despite the fact that this post is mostly trolling, I feel like this is a good spot to actually call these out >Omori Slog, boring, uneventful >Undertale It's actually a fairly manipulative narrative where it doesn't take into account the things the enemies are doing when you encounter them, (ie attacking you) as bad. >Mother 3 Slog, boring >Earthbound Ok this is the good one, it has no bullshit to the game, besides some dungeons that have a gimmick here and there, but this is the best game on the list >Celeste Yeaaah that game has too much controversial things on it for me to care nowadays. >>983538 >>983540 one of you two now HAS to get pregnant as for me, i'd say Ultrakill, but honestly the game is unfinished so it's obviously not perfect, and it can get shittier in the future. just hope it doesn't

Yet here you are just asking for that scenario to happen by bringing it up as if anyone gives a flying fuck about your shitty taste. Here's your (you) for managing to get my attention.

Zero 3 and cave story are great
>>983535 The only thing I know about Omori is it has lots of shota r34.
For its genre, this game is as close to perfect as it gets.
Warcraft 3. Endless content in custom games makes this the perfect game.
>>983523 The first Rocket Knight game is indeed perfect.

>>983717 I can't to this day decide if DKC or DKC2 is the better game. 2 has Dixie and I like some of the things it does better but the first game feels like a more "pure" experience to me. I like the boss fights in the first one more too the exception being the K. Rool fight in 2 is better. But that's just because the K. Rool fight in 2 is just like the original but more stuff. The refight in the Lost World in 2 is especially great.

>>983571 Just finished Zero 3 yesterday, fun game overall, and the bosses are fun to fight. I managed to get all the secret disks and unlock the ultimate form in my first playthrough. I wished the other three guardians were an option to fight cause their armed phenomena forms in 2 were fun to fight with and would've been better if you could fight them in zero 3. Beyond my desire for a couple more boss fights I hardly have any issues with zero 3 beyond skill-related issues.
>Mario Tennis >Mario Golf >Bomberman 64
>>983535 >>983554 I don't get the whole Celeste thing. I know the dev is loony is held high by other loonies but besides that I mean. Just gameplay wise it doesn't seem all that special. Isn't it basically just IWBTG/Super Meat Boy game play but more reasonable? Why is it so popular? It doesn't seem to stand out to me.

>>983523 >What's the most complex game you can think of that you would consider perfect? Good question! I think the more complex a game becomes the harder it is to be perfect. For example I also think Tetris (specifically DX on GBC) is a perfect game but I forgot to put that in the OP and Tetris is as mechanically simple and immediately intuitive as you can get without becoming a walking simulator (which aren't real games). >>983528 >I want to add new vegas but that game might just be a slight bit too buggy to be called perfect. Yeah, although I did include a caveat in the OP about all software having bugs the sheer number of NV bugs is a bit much. Great game though. >>983669 You're making me wish for a new Excitebike anon. >>983737 >Illusion of Gaia You're speaking my language anon.

>>983723 No Smash Bros? I think the original N64 Smash is the best one by a good margin.

Very cliche, I know. What version? Take your pick, it's a game you can alter and remix while still have it be near flawless. I almost feel bad for Pajitnov, his first ever game and it's one of the greatest ever made. He could never live up to that. >>983745 >>983737 Illusion of Gaia has a sequel Terranigma that's beloved in Europe and Japan but virtually unknown in America, probably because it never released here.
You might not like it, but this is how peak gaming looks like

>>983419 >Are there any games which you consider to be perfect vidya? >Just pure distilled quality. Dance Dance Revolution Which one? All of them. At least, all the ones that I have played. If you'll allow me to riff for a little bit, I find the concept of the "perfect game" or the "greatest game of all of time" to be a completely arbitrary concept. Especially when it seems like all the "best" games that I have played tend to lack the fun and enjoyment of less perfect games. The main example I pull from this is the Bayonetta games on the Wii U. The first game is undeniably great and probably is a contender to being something close to a "perfect" game. That being said, I would rather play Bayonetta 2. The gameplay is less refined and some of the weapons are worse, but I had a lot more fun and enjoyment playing through the game's story because the dips in quality also made peaks seem that much better. Another example is the F.E.A.R. series, where the first F.E.A.R. (And EP) are the best of the series but I had a lot more enjoyment playing F.3.A.R. because of just how brutal the gameplay was. Also there's the question that if it really is the "perfect game", where does anything go from there? Now if you'll excuse me for one second, I'm going to proceed to piss off half of the thread... >>983419 >A Link To the Past It's shit, never enjoyed playing it. Oracle of Seasons is better. >>983571 >cave story You I have no issue with. >>983717 >Super Mario All Stars (SNES) Only Mario 3 is good >2D Sonic Games (Sega Genesis) Sonic CD is the best, but then Advance 2 beats out the rest of the Genesis games. Even Chaos on the GG is better than the Genesis games. >>983804 >>983745 >For example I also think Tetris (specifically DX on GBC) is a perfect game but I forgot to put that in the OP and Tetris is as mechanically simple and immediately intuitive as you can get without becoming a walking simulator (which aren't real games). Tetris Worlds is the best version of Tetris. >>983796 >NFS Underground Someone never played the latter half of that game. >Burnout 2 Inferior to the first game and Paradise.

>>983419 Most have been posted already, but Wing Commander: Privateer ticks all the boxes. Take the base premise of Elite and add a plot-line and add polish.
>>983732 It's got the gay stink to it. That's pretty much it. Like drinking punch out of a toilet bowl that's perfectly squeaky clean, but is nonetheless a toilet bowl.
>>983737 >Chrono Cross Gay, but the OST is excellent. >FFIX >ガイア幻想紀 >聖剣伝説 LEGEND OF MANA Respectable choices. >Wave Race 64 With or without 60 fps hacks? >>984031 Ah, the glory days when Chris Roberts understood game development.
>>984031 I never finished the main plot and still sunk hours on end into it. It was beautiful.
What's the most recent example of a Perfect Game that you can think of? While we're on the subject: what's the earliest?
>>984531 Earliest has to be Space invader.
>>984006 >Someone never played the latter half of that game. Oh but I have, many times. The only difference is that the game gets harder, your car gets faster, and you get way more customization than what you started with. The only complaint I could see by someone like you is that not all the newer cars you can trade in are faster than the earlier cars in the game when fully customized and I honestly think that's the point though. Clearly the devs wanted it to be possible to play the entire game with the a starting vehicle. >Inferior to the first game and Paradise. Its the opposite and Paradise is utterly boring
>>984662 >fully customized Meant *fully upgraded. Also, I like the s2000 the most even though it's clearly not the fastest
>>984662 >Oh but I have, many times. The only difference is that the game gets harder, your car gets faster, It's the opposite, if you run a faster car opponents get way faster it's actually beneficial to run a shitbox, try running a Miata on your next playthrough see how hard you get fucked by the AI drag race notwithstanding since 5 speed fucks you real hard regardless
>>984664 I have won the game with the RX7 which is one of the fastest cars in the game and I have no idea what you're talking about. It sounds like a skill/luck issue to me.
>>984671 Playing on hard? I've done it a few times but a handful of races near the end felt less like racing with skill and more like shunting others into walls and hoping they can't catch up.
>>984673 Wait wait wait... you had "catch up" turned on in the menus didn't you? Now, I should not have to tell you why playing a game with a shitty setting is bad or why this setting is bad
>>984678 I didn't even know you could turn the AI rubberband off, well yeah that would be way fucking easier to win if the AI is gimped
>>984678 It's not his fault racing game devs insist on the worst mechanic possible to be the standard. If racing devs made FPS the enemies would gain more health the more accurate you were.
>>984684 I don't mind some rubberbanding, but NFS has it way too strong, I still remember the fucking RX7 race at the end that had me 15 seconds in front near the end of it only to get smoked. It's weird because HP2 (either version) on the other hand has some but it's not super egregious. >If racing devs made FPS the enemies would gain more health the more accurate you were. Do not give them any ideas.
>>984684 >If racing devs made FPS the enemies would gain more health the more accurate you were. That actually DOES exist, it's called "reticle bloom". The more accurate you consecutively shoot, the greater chance the RNG kicks in and causes you to miss.
>>984690 Don't even get me started on the shit AAA FPS devs do.
>>984680 >I didn't even know you could turn the AI rubberband off, You can't. Just went through the game's options and there's no way to turn off the rubberbanding. It could he that he's miss remembering or it's a console exclusive feature.
