My best friend flipped through the FF7 strategy guide before playing the game, back in the day when it was still new, and got that spoiled for him.
Edit: But that kinda thing is his own fault.
The real tragedy here is that he had to play FF7.
Man you are so wrong.
That was a great game.
It does not live up to the hype. plus I don't think it was ever really that great.
I don't like it when people dislike things due to hype. I mean I can sorta sympathize as to why they would, and hype has certainly changed my opinions of things despite my best efforts, but I still don't like it. It was one of the definitive RPGs of my generation, and yeah it was even more special if you played it when it first came out. I mean you don't have to think it was the bee's knees but I can't think of anything bad about it.
Aside from the terrible 3d when outside of combat but a lot of good games at the time did that.

I was actually thinking about FF7 recently. Is it one of the first games to have an unreliable narrator, or was it already done in of the older western RPGs. I know the bioware ones always had twists and some dealt with amnesia, but I'm not sure they count as unreliable narrators if they don't remember anything at all.
Chrono Trigger, now that was a game before its time.

I keep forgetting how much younger you guys are than I am.
So like when you guys saw the Fifth Element, you guys were kids, and there were hovercars and space gunfights and aliens and Chris Tucker was just off the hook and all that shit and it was just fuckin rad.
But when I saw it I was pretty much a grown-up, and I distinctly remember wincing whenever Tucker was on the screen and walking out of the theater shaking my head and saying "so huh. The Fifth Element turned out to be love. Who woulda thunk?"

PC surely did it earlier than any console game.

Do you have an example or is this just more of a gut instinct
Bizare locations that scare and frighten me? Not only is that very pussy position, let alone I dont see how that is a negative thing. What locations is he even talking about. :P
You make it sound like you're a thousand years old Will.
Well it is just that there is a fucking world of difference between experiencing something as a kid and experiencing something as an adult. Like if you and I went to see a movie today, the age difference between us would be subordinate to the differences in our personal tastes. But If I went to go see a movie with an eight year old, I literally could not experience the movie the same way he would.

No, Chris Tucker.
He is only good in The Fifth Element because the character is basically Chris Tucker.
He was so good in his short part in True Romance.

I can agree with this.
Didn't live up to the hype :P

I played it through a few months ago and it felt pretty primitive.
i didn't fully appreciate how rad it was until i replayed it over the summer
it's got one of the most cohesive settings in a JRPG, though it doesn't look like that at all at first glance
and even despite the spotty translation the script is still full of character

OK, that makes me nine years younger than you.
Having said that I am fairly sure I did not see The Fifth Element until my twenties.

Of course not. Chris Tucker's character was Chris Tucker.
What do you mean?
