Wtf did RCT3 get such a low score?

4

Easy 5. Got dozens of games on my Switch and Iā€™ll still default to cracking out a game of Tetris if I donā€™t know what I want to do.

6

Probably the only game that could truly be called perfect by so many people from so many different backgrounds with so many varying tastes in video games.

I gave it a 4. I remember at the time it launched it was quite demanding and poorly optimized so ran like SHITE on most pc hardware that wasnā€™t optimized for gaming at the time. Certainly hurt my enjoyment of it back then and I thought it sucked, but having played it again recently it was a lot better than I remember. Though I prefer the atmosphere of the wee isometric parks more overall,.

Finally, a game Iā€™ve actually played!

Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™d describe it as fun. But thereā€™s something deeply satisfying about destroying shapes through tessellation.

It ran like a pig at the time - only really came into its own years later when PCs that could run a park at more the 5 frames a second started to be built and that reputation stuck.

Tetris Effect in VR is incredible, it truely is a medative outer body experience. But that being said, the game is probably better in the long run on TV. Especially if youā€™re lucky enough to have an OLED tv and 4k console because holy moly the visuals pop on that set up

Got a bit obsessed with Tetris Blitz a few years back. Love all the crazy power-ups. The original is a classic as well.

Definite 5 from me. I doubt I have played any game as much as I have Tetris from the Gameboy, DS, and now Switch versions.

15

A huge root cause of my Repetitive Strain Injury, 1/5

incredible game 5/5 obviously

My typical game strategy is toā€¦

  • Eliminate one line at a time, keeping the height of the blocks as low as possible
  • Eliminate a few lines at a time, not building up too much height but getting the satisfaction of slaying multiple lines in one go
  • Eliminate 4 lines every time, all or nothing

It depends on the situation, right?

Unless itā€™s getting very tight at the top, I never do anything other than 4 at a time

Iā€™m really bad at Tetris and it annoys me. 1/5

Ah. Thatā€™s interesting - I had a shitty laptop at the time and thought it was because of that. It did cut out every half an hour or so

Itā€™s a 4 for me. Excellent execution of a simple idea, but it doesnā€™t have the hold of a Zelda or Portal.

Boring

I used to be obsessed with speed Tetris where you had to eliminate 40 lines as quickly as possible. OBSESSED. My wrists didnā€™t hold out in time for me to get my time below 1 minute though :frowning: (think my PB was 1m 4s)

Know this lad who used to be the world Tetris championā€¦ He obviously went on to become a Countdown champion and was pretty obnoxious about it, although heā€™s ok when heā€™s not being competitive. Fun stories:

  • his own dad rooted against him in the final of his series because he got ā€˜too intenseā€™ when practising for the finals

  • in the build up to Champion of Champions he practised with a full bladder in case he needed to power through needing a wee on set (my best mate smashed him in his first game tho)

  • he once spent 5 minutes arguing with me that Finland wasnā€™t in the EU. I was in Finland at the time. They use Euros. yes I know technically not all countries that use Euros are in the EU, but theyā€™re all small countries and I can name them all

His pb on 40 lines was something like 15 seconds?? (Canā€™t remember exactly)

100 people asked Paul Scholes for the name of the purest video-game of all time. He said ā€œTetrisā€ 100 times.
