Is the show finally pursuing shock value for the sake of shock value?

Looks like John Travolta from Battlefield Earth! The best movie ever!

you got issues homie

cause Giz worships Apple to a fatal fault. Anything and everything that runs on electricity they will attribute to Steve Jobs. Everything that DOESN'T run on electricity they will say its cause Jobs never tried it first. They are Apple fanatics, worshipers and lovers and that's all there is to it.

The golden age wasn't just one console generation. I'd say it STARTED with 16 bit and ENDED some time during the PS2's reign.

I think absolutely it was the 16-bit era. Final Fantasy IV and VI, Chrono Trigger, Phantasy Star II and IV (and III for me—-I know a lot of people had an issue with that game but I personally loved it), Secret of Mana/Evermore, Earthbound...really? You're going to find better than that?

This poll is almost definitely going to just show ''WHAT ERA DID YOU GROW UP IN?'' as opposed to anything about quality of RPGs.

For me it can't be viewed in terms of console eras.
I see it as a 6 year span, from Zelda: A Link To The Past in '92 to Xenogears in '98, with Secret Of Mana, Chrono Trigger, FF VI, VII, Tactics, and others in between.
I never dreamed again.

Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Seiken Densetsu 3, and Terranigma all came out after the PlayStation was released, so which "era" do they belong to?

And lunar, and lufia! And even better, lufia2! BoF?! Can't forget those... even super Mario rpg was way better than most new RPGs. Now if SEGA would finally release the new PSO game, I might have something similarly as fun.

It's a very, VERY close call between the 16 & 32 bit era of jrpg.

Sorry to break it to you, but I don't like Final Fantasy IX either. BRING IT!

It's obviously just runoff from the psychic inhibitor techniques employed by the Illuminati to repress everyone's memories of the giant insect invasions of the 1940's.

Yes. It's that bad.

Dude, they wrote an artice for "Long Live The Queen", and I was starting to think I was the only one ever to play that game.

I feel the same way, except I'm not joking.

Um... They did try their hand at VR. It was called Virtual Boy. And it failed miserably.
