I just played Jet Force Gemini for a few hours. It was the N64 game that everyone told me was underrated. Back then, it probably was. But I think most of the people who hyped it up are thinking about their memories when they played it 20 years ago, because if they played it recently, they would've seen it was a pretty average game.
I have been playing lots of older classic games which were hailed to be some of the best of all time, but I honestly feel like much of that praise is nostalgia. Those games were really impactful back then, but with so many great games that came out in the past 10 years, much of the older games are obsolete.
Most acclaimed NES games had really rudimentary gameplay and inflated difficulty. I would say that there were probably more great indie games in 2015 than great NES games in general. Many N64/PS1 games have blurry textures and clunky mechanics, which were better refined in the 6th and 7th gen.
Final Fantasy VII for example was probably groundbreaking at the time, but since then, dozens of RPG's have mastered that formula ever better. The blurriness of visuals in the N64/PS1 era haven't aged well. Also, stories and plots which were once seen as profound are sort of cliche now.
baten kaitos origins is one of my favorite games on the gamecube and if you liked the first one, you will definitely like this one.
it improves many of the flaws of the first game, as well as provides a compelling story. there's a bit more backtracking and level-grinding in BKO than some people will tolerate, but it's no worse than the slowest parts of BK1.
I'd say BK1 and BKO are about equal in quality, maybe BKO is a bit better. BKO is faster paced and takes itself a bit more seriously.

1. Isn't it biased. In an infinite set of universes, there could be so many different splits, but this plot focuses on only 1 (the baptism). How come all the other possibilities of varying decisions were never an issue.
2. Anyone contesting that the ending IS logically possible?
The final verse of The Mystery of Chessboxing by Masta Killa. It was his only verse on the album, yet it was the best of all verses. He was incarcerated during most of the recording. He and Priest Killah were competing to get their verse on the song. Preist fell asleep while Masta stayed up all night writing it.
GZA's verse on Protect Your Neck is a close second.
In before someone says I necrobumped this, Wu Tang is FOREVER.
