Chrono Trigger did time travel well because it didn't give a poo poo about it other than doing what's the most fun.

FirstAidKite posted:You know what did time travel well? Yeah, I'm a fan. It still does that thing with parallel frame of reference causality. Where changes in past story the don't alter the chain of events leading up the present story, but instead effects the present story at the time it is intercut with it by editing. The same thing that Looper does. It's a cool effect, but it makes literally no sence. What happens in Frequency is really cool though.

That isn't a criticism of Chrono Trigger. It does a ton of work creating a memorable world just through some cool visual design and great music.

I'm pinching pennies and was really interested in Uncharted 4, while I was out grocery shopping I noticed this mysterious red box that was apparently full of games and dvds. Does anyone have any experience renting games out of Redbox? I live in a relatively small town and I saw Uncharted was under Coming Soon. Do you think I could just walk up on May 10th and check it out? Like how many copies of a game does a Red Box have?

Maybe not literal time travel but I did like Second Sight's twist ending where you experience a series of flashbacks throughout the game and then at the end you find out that you're actually precognizant and the flashbacks are what's actually happening while everything else was a flashforward, and you use that knowledge to stop the whole mess from happening in the first place.

Okay this sounds like something I'm gonna do. Uncharted 4 isn't listed on their website while it was listed on my local Redbox so I'll keep an eye on that. Also while googling I checked out a just wonderful gamefaqs topic about this subject http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/691087-playstation-4/73555918

I want MatthewMatosis to do more reviews of time-travel based games because he always gets really anal retentive about the "rules of time travel" when he has to cover it in a review. He takes five minutes to complain about how OOT's time travel mechanics don't make sense and it's such a tiny nitpick that gets so much exposition that I love it to pieces and want him to review Chrono Trigger.

FactsAreUseless posted:This is why Chrono Cross never worked. Chrono Trigger is a game almost entirely devoid of worldbuilding - everything you know about the world is suggested, rather than stated. Stuff happens because it would be cool. Chrono Cross asks you take the world seriously, but the foundation just wasn't there. I kind of like the concept of Chrono Cross - like the party's heroic vaulting through time in Chrono Trigger had unforeseen consequences because one does not lightly mess around with time - but there had to be a better way to do it than spending a bunch of time telling us about the politics of Porre and poo poo like that Rad music tho

It's crazy ambitious, completely over-the-top, a massive-budget, cinematic experience with orchestral music and absolutely no restraint whatsoever. For better and for worse.

FactsAreUseless posted:I think it was inevitable. Chrono Trigger is the RPG that best embodies its era. All of its mechanics are borrowed from other SNES RPGs - the game even assumes you're familiar with how RPGs work going in. It was the last hurrah for the SNES RPG, released at the system's end.

Jay Rust posted:I liked collecting characters in Chrono Cross One good thing to come from Chronic Cross was that having to make a system to give each extra character a unique modifier to their speech meant Square actually had to get their poo poo together and give their translators good tools instead of crowbarring the translation in with ASCII characters that couldn't be spellchecked or easily formatted.

Persona 3 and 4 blew the doors off the JRPG complex at the end of the PS2 and set our expectations really high and it sucked for PS3 Nier is good, Nier 2 looks kool too

A harsh assessment but when I think about it I haven't played a single JRPG since like FFXII and yet have at least watched youtubes of the worst parts of Dragon Age 2.
