Sometimes this can get out of hand but I always like these because there's a sense of having a very personal dialogue between the developer and player. It's depressing sometimes to think about how the modern vidya generation is so quick to dismiss things like these as unfair garbage. Well yeah, sometimes that's the whole point! Now can you beat it? The developer has laid down the gantlet, are you a bad enough dude to accept the bullshit and persevere?

Nothing wrong with that. It's easier to not get hit when you are smaller, but the power-up allows you to get hit once without dying. So overall you still are better off when you have the power-up at that point. What's awful is some warp pipes in SMB Lost Levels send you back by several levels and you can't avoid them by skilled movement once you are in that situation, it's just something you have to know about in order to avoid.

Why do people seem to like these games so much? For me they were some of the biggest disappointments Nintendo ever crapped out.

Sunshine and Wind Waker were released as part of the great water physics upgrade that occured at the time. Another highly notable example is Final Fantasy X but there are dozens more contemporary games where the main selling point was the splashy realism of the water physics and graphics when compared to the telegraphed spritework or harsh polygons of previous generations. Dramatically reducing the agony of water levels in vidya was no small thing.

How exactly does water physics do that? Majora's Mask did it by actually making swimming fun instead of slow and awkward.

>Majora's Mask did it by actually making swimming fun instead of slow and awkward.
MM is one of my favorite’s but their solution to the water level angst was to create the zora mask rather than give link a better form of swimming superior to the deep breath dive. Beyond that even with zora flippers the water dungeon was still a tangled mess that was anticlimactic when compared to the espionage of penetrating the beach fortress.

>How exactly does water physics do that?

The key thing to remember in general was how much more realistic and dynamic the effects and visuals of water were for gameplay after the turn of the millennium. It is in this respect that Sunshine stole the spotlight with the ability to slide, dive, and pivot uniquely with even an inch of water on certain surfaces rather than merely getting slowed down. The momentum of the characters in nearly all games with large aquatic zones or oceans had also increased significantly and far more tools were added to change the rate at which you sank, swam, or stroked through the water. Probably the most important thing to remember was that for decades it was not uncommon for water to simply represent the equivalent to an infinite drop, lava, invisible wall, instant return to map, or simply getting slowed down and adding an annoying gravity feature-with potential breath timer-while you walked on the bottom of the area trying to get back to dry land.

Certainly it was the case that there were prior games which had decent swimming features, but due to the reduced input count on most controllers you were functionally limited more harshly in what you could do in an aquatic environment compared to the controllers of postY2K generations with more buttons. Muh waters got much more involved, pleasant to look at and splash in.

Nah, not buying it. Whether or not a water level is fun has nothing to do with the fluid physics which are almost entirely aesthetic.

I'm not sure exactly why it happened, but Nintendo in general dropped the ball hard during the 6th gen in terms of game development. Maybe they were having trouble transitioning to increased development team sizes?

That already happened. See Arcanum for that. Where the capitalist oligarchs overthrew the kingdom of Tarant, murdered the royal family by having them turned into half-Ogre breeding machines. And then when faced with the conservative and magical knights heavy Dernholm they just shot all of them to death with rifles.

Comrades, it's that time again: Lenin is young and October lies ahead!
Time for a Crisis in the Kremlin game thread like in the good old days. We'll be playing on 'Realism' difficulty and starting at the earliest bookmark, 1985!

And so comrades, take your seats as members of the Central Committee of the CPSU, take up flags, or namefag if you like, for some degree of recognisability when tallying votes and take up the burden of the collective leadership as it is time for you to elect our new General Secretary following the unfortunate passing of Comrade Chernenko.

Your candidates are as follows:
-The young protege of Andropov and stalwart, Comrade Grigory Romanov
-The young up and coming reformist, Comrade Gorbachev
-The trusted Brezhnevite centrist, Comrade Grishin
-The party grandee and diplomatic excellency, Comrade Gromyko
-or perhaps the a previously unknown black horse from the party rank will secure the Central Committee's confidence?

Comrades of the Central Committee, the future of the Party, the Union, the Socialist Camp and the Human Race itself is in your hands!

Well that was a let down. Very easy game, If I had known about needing to pay for Serge's kids education to avoid getting assassinated I would've won in my first playthrough as a commime. Pretty easy to say the last and the story is meh, which is a bit lame for a pick-your-own-adventure game.

That's how I started out, but eventually I made friends with other people who also played cRPGs so we ended up trying out tabletop stuff too. I soon found out that it's a different beast entirely, with it's own pros (absolute freedom of choice, you're having fun with friends, makes you work your creative muscles) and cons (unless your GM is a savant, the story/characters can't really compare to something like PS:T or VTM:B).
Don't feel bad about playing cRPGs OP, as long as they're good ones. I'd much rather spend an afternoon playing decent vidya than being in the same room with grog autists who take all the fun out of tabletop roleplaying.

That's your problem right there. The creativity should be collective, if only GM is in charge of your story and worldbuilding then all you get is either railroading or boring slog of sameness. Often both.

In my experience players aren't really trained to actually contribute anything to the story and instead trained by shitty GMs to just react. This is one of the reason why i dropped trpg, after experiencing the best, they ordinary was conpletely unacceptable.
