/vr/ - Retro Games

Okay anons. First time playing this. I literally remember my brothers briefly playing it when I was super young.

Barely into it, just got to the first town before the woods. I think I understand the basic combat system but for the absolute fucking life of me do mot understand how to equip or use magic.

Any pointers? Google searches come up basically empty for this game. Not looking to spell the WHOLE thing out. Just some basic mechanics and any ways to not inevitably hang myself late game

Now this is an exclusive /vr/ problem, as thankfully 99% of most YouTubers call it out rightfully as the trash game it was - the same trash game I played in the late 90's.

So what's the deal? Is it because of the music? The general feeling that it could be more but isn't?

In my opinion, I feel like because there are a finite number of retro games, so some people are getting desperate -- especially in regards to quality N64 RPGs. Not to mention it's cheap as chips because of its low quality

So /vr/, what's the deal?

What are the most mind numbingly boring and lifeless games you ever played? Quest 64 was so boring it's surreal.

Genuinely love this game even knowing it's half finished.

Why is Quest 64 the best RPG on fifth generation consoles?

What was the reason to develop Quest 64?

Was it literally just

>WE NEED AN RPG FOR THE N64!
>PROGRAMMING AND TESTING ISN'T GOING GREAT, RELEASE IT ANYWAY!

Pic related was way better

Was this game actually shit?

So what's the deal with this game?

Could the N64 not handle a currency system?

Like you I was always intrigued by Quest 64, but heard it's terribly grindy

The game is not that good, but it's not horrible either, just extremely mediocre and feels kinda unfinished. But fuck, the american cover is UGLY, I think the american cover alone makes the game worse.

Why was the Nintendo 64 so devoid of RPGs? If you had an N64 and that was your favorite genre, this mediocre trash (pic related) was pretty much your only option, otherwise you were out of luck.

It's especially disconcerting when you consider that the SNES was an RPG goldmine.

This game rules.

So why didn't the N64 receive more JRPGs? Considering how cutscene heavy games like Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were, and how you could have full voice acting like Perfect Dark and Conker's Bad Fur Day, or even cinematics like RE2, what happened?

Could nobody figure out a way to do a game on the N64? It's not like all PS1 JRPGs were full of FMVs and voice acting. I'm sure a few could have stand to be ported.

I think I liked Quest 64 so much because even though most attacks were useless relative to other attacks you learn and the elements were unbalanced they were still fun to use. I remember Zelse kicking my ass and instantly grinding to level up the wind element so I could use his moves too. A little disappointed when I found out you couldn't use some of the boss special moves.

I played the hell out of this game as a child. Looking back I can't really say why. It's not that great. I've never met anyone else who has played it, but then again I don't really bring it up in conversation. Only as an honorable mention for my personal favorites sometimes.

what rpgs did the 64 have other than quest 64?

fun game

When it's done right, it can look pretty, such as Donkey kong country's CGI art (not the in-game sprites, bur the promo CGI illustrations, for example the game covers).

However, there was some ugly as sin 3D CGI (just as there was ugly as sin artwork in the 80s like Megaman 1 US).

basically, it's up to the artist, not the method.
