There was a meme about a bad game mere here once. It's gone now.

Well, that was eloquent.

There's a long running Chrono Cross feud going around these here parts. It's been quiet for a while; most of the party have since vanished mysteriously. This might just be the catalyst for a revival.

Thank you, but it struck me that the image looks like review bashing, not game bashing. I'll be the first to admit CC's lengthy list of flaws - which would have required a longer review, but that's an awfully large image to appear at the bottom of a retrospective essay.

This review is an honest take on how it makes the author feel. Too bad we don’t share the same experience. I put a few hours into CC years ago and found it melodramatic and aimless. Like the game, this review is a little hard to follow in places. I figure hastypixels is a really smart guy whose brain is constantly exploding with ideas. The fingers can’t keep up with the mind, that sort of thing. I don’t think anyone’s bashing the review. On the other hand, EmP and I both agree that Chrono Cross the game sucks.

Thanks for yanking the image, EmP. I appreciate that.

Ah, the Chrono Cross debate, where some think this game is a total classic, EmP thinks it's total trash and I'm the one who is right because I think it's a decent game that could have been great, but was bloated with way too many meaningless characters (instead of focusing on a core cast) that all blend together because you attach mostly the same skills to their boards AND, like a lot of PS RPGs, it does kind of fall apart down the stretch, as the final dungeon is dull with a bunch of "padding" mini-bosses.

But that makes me think: On this site, both now and in our history, is this the game that has the most diverse set of reactions or is there another that outmatches it? It'd have to be either a big name game or a cult classic (so that enough people here have played it to have a definite opinion) obviously. But usually, we as a group at least have a general consensus with maybe 1-2 outliers.

this is intersting write on the game I have not played. how are the 120 endings? I mean, are all of equal calibur or some are the better than others?

120 endings were planned in development, and just twelve of those were implemented, due to technical constraints. I'm sure there were narrative limits, too. 120 is enough to keep one busy for longer than it takes to reach those endings, and the idea is ridiculous.
