I don't understand why it's considered a masterpiece

you had to be there...

It's not

I bet there's a lot of things you don't understand. And that's ok.

Gameplay, pacing, atmosphere

This is completely true and yet entirely not true.
>You had to be there.
When it came out, no one had seen graphics or gameplay like it at the time.
BUT
The gameplay is still tighter than a nun's cunt and addictive to play. Constant re-releases with no change to the core gameplay is a testament to that.

A cultural phenomenon that you had to be there to understand? Yes.
Does it stand the test of time? Also yes.

That's my explanation.

It's fun.
Not true

not my problem

I'd argue the graphics have still held up

It’s fun but also was revolutionary for the time. Think like ocarina if time, it’s still great but it’s age shows

Nah, it holds up. It’s genuinely a good game, gameplay, pacing sure the story sucks but who cares about that, the charm and atmosphere make up for that

Who cares? Not my job to explain it to you.

Because it does everything fantastically, from the graphics to the gameplay.

I cannot explain it the same way i cannot explain why 9th Symphony, Goldberg Variations, Divina Commedia or Don Quixote are masterpieces.

What a fucking lie.

>Tons of unlocks both in the regular game and postgame.
>Separate Ways.
>Mercenaries.
>Tons of various mechanics and strategies making it so every weapon is viable.

>I don't understand
Not every game is everyone's can of cold Coke Zero Sugar®. If everyone liked the exact same thing the world would be gay and boring. It's still a masterpiece and among the top 5 best games of all time.

It's because you're a fortnite obsessed zoomer

>every weapon is viable
And yet the only handgun anyone ever uses is Red 9
