What holds up for me is the writing pace, every episode ends at a point where you actually need to stop and think about what you just did, and that structure…

    What holds up for me is the writing pace, every episode ends at a point where you actually need to stop and think about what you just did, and that structure is the reason people still bring it up years later even when the mechanics themselves are basic.

    So I replayed this last year expecting it to feel dated, and the choices still land even when you know some barely change the plot, the character writing carries the weak spots without much trouble.

    Complètement mérité oui.

    Se lo pone tan arriba por nostalgia, la jugabilidad en sí era mínima, casi ni jugás.

    Yo elegí Season Two después de esto y nunca sentí lo mismo, lo digo aunque sé que aquí casi nadie estará de acuerdo conmigo.

    Lo jugué justo cuando salía la serie de tele (qué años aquellos).

    Con 818 duelos y 72% seguimos discutiendo lo mismo, la verdad es que el número ya habla solo y el debate se vuelve un poco redundante.

    A mí también me marcó esa época pero el debate de siempre es si aguanta el puesto contra Season Two, y ahí ya no tengo tan claro mi voto

  5. Pixel_Espinosa

    Sigue defendiéndose solo con las decisiones y los personajes, sin efectos raros ni nada. El 72% no es casualidad, la gente vuelve a votarlo porque lo recuerda de verdad, no por moda pasajera.
