/vr/ - Retro Games

PS1fag here, actually has some awesome shit (especially from rare), shame i never owned one

>>3527456
really liked it as a kid, had a few really good games, but feels a bit meh now

Great for party games. Not so good for anything else.

>>3527456

Had it the year it came out, not my favorite console. There are quite a few good games on it, but seriously I'd rather have a SNES or GC than this if left alone on an island (even with 3 friends)

Imho it's just a too clunky console, it was the first generation to switch from 2d into 3d, which it did ok for its time, but i find most of it hasn't aged well.

Most people who are in love with this are mostly people who had this as their first console with 8-13 and feel alot of nostalgia, a few years back nobody was talking about it. soon the GC generation will pop up.

No need to jump at me, you can gladly have your own opinion

It's a great system ,sure the library of games doesn't match the Saturn or PlayStation but all 3 systems were unique and all worth owning/playing.

Second worst Nintendo home console.

Too many cutesy casual collectathons, and opting for the cartridge format bit Nintendo in the ass, along with their developer-unfriendly microcode.

>>3527456
Fucking badass console
Leagues better than psx
AAA NINTENDO MASTERPIECE GAMES > bullshit shovelware on psx

>>3527530
Vr only hates it because they are faggot weebs

>>3527456

A lot of the /vr/ criticisms are on point, but it's really got a great little library all the same.

One of the subtler points that often gets missed is that because 3D was new, there was a lot of experimental stuff.

- Rush 2, racing game about exploring/platforming won't really ever be made again.
- There will never be another Goldeneye-styled FPS -- it's too quirky and the genre will never go back that direction.
- Wave Race 64, for some reason still has better water physics than anything else. Figure that out?

And then there's the usual Nintendo classics -- Mario / Zelda / Mario Kart / F-Zero.

No doubt, it's a small library with lots of junk, but it's a really fun system.

>>3527505
Thanks generic internet nonopinion

>>3527456
As with every nintendo console post-SNES, the best argument for the Nintendo 64 were the games published by nintendo themselves. Zelda, Mario, Starfox, much more.

The native 4-player multitap was a big deal as well. It was the only 5th gen console to emphasize 4-player games like it did, and as such was great for party games. Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Goldeneye, Bomberman, and tons of sports titles. Nothing else like it at the time.

However it lacked the library support from 3rd party developers, as it stubbornly held onto the cartridge format, when bigtime developers preferred the flexibility offered by CD-ROM. Squaresoft, which previously had practically been married to Nintendo, famously switched to developing exclusively for the Playstation for this reason.

Overall the N64 has very memorable titles because they are Nintendo games.

One of the weaker Nintendo consoles.

Still, even though the library was small, there were great games.

Worth owning.

>>3527549
>There will never be another Goldeneye-styled FPS -- it's too quirky and the genre will never go back that direction.
I think the last GE-styled game was TimeSplitters (well, it was made by the Goldeneye guys). Sadly, it's a dead franchise now.

>>3527552
Did my opinion trigger your poor tastes, familia?

Not everyone has to think Banjo is a masterpiece.

It's a fucking Nintendo console, so naturally it played home to some of the greatest and most defining games of it's generation.

shitty console, no games and the beginning of the end for nintendo

How come most games are so slow? I know coding is said to be a pain but even Rare could get more than 20 FPS out of it.

>>3527606
>doesn't even know the difference between "its" and "it's"

The intelligence of your average Nintendildo, folks.

>>3527609
Mario 64, Ocarina of Time and Golden Eye changed console gaming - and by extension, the industry - forever. Show some fucking respect, child.

>>3527613
My fone corrected that. I can't work modern technology.

>>3527617
>Golden Eye
shit compared to half life

>Ocarina of Time
shit compared to king's field

>Mario 64
shit compared to crash bandicoot

>>3527623
I specifically said 'console gaming' because I just knew some PC-fag would pipe up with some inane bullshit. I was not disappointed.

>Golden Eye v Half Life
Golden Eye was released a year before Half Life.

>Ocarina Of Time v Kings Field
Are you fucking serious?

>Mario 64 v Crash Bandicoot
Just stop embarrassing yourself.

>>3527623
Holy fucking shit lmao

Shit convoluted hardware despite having a nice CPU. Lack of RGB absolutely dumbfounding when it was sold in Péritel-land. Yuck graphics as a results.
Some fantastic games.

>>3527667

You sound underage as fuck if you're using the lack of RGB as an argument for the poor graphics that the N64 had.

>>3527685
All in all you can't deny that everything on the 64 looks blurry

>>3527456
overrated

>>3527697

Try playing it on a CRT, not a modern screen or an emulator at upscaled resolutions.

>>3527456

tons of shitty games, but it's good games were revolutionary for the time. tons of fun with this system.

>>3527639
2/3 of those are PlayStation games tho.

I think it's the worst system of it's gen, but it didn't really have any of the games that I liked.
I'll break mine out every once in a while for Kirby 64 though, since that game rocks

Great except for the controller.

>>3527737
very true

>>3527456
I grew up with it and so am naturally inclined to say it had some alright stuff.

>>3527664

No you misunderstood. You're not edgy or controversial. You're generic as fuck and apparently don't have original thoughts

I think this is applicable to this thread:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1Ensh2vP2A

Full disclosure: N64 was my childhood and it's one of my favorite systems. Nothing can tell me different, but that doesn't mean it's objectively the best.

>>3527906
Fuck I was watching that video earlier. I meant this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW_MEKWTguA

In the 5th Gen I was an idort, was lucky enough to have both N64 and PS1. My next door neighbor had a Saturn so I was lucky enough to get hands on with that as well, although they barely had any games for it.

I always felt that the N64 was the clear winner of that console generation. The PS1 had more good games, but the top 10 or so N64 games were untouched by PS1 and Saturn. It was truly a quality over quantity console, which was fine by me at the time because N64 games cost almost twice what PS1 games cost. It never really bothered me that the library was smaller because I could only afford to own a few games on my allowance and I ended up enjoying my N64 games a lot more than the games for the other systems.

I suppose it really comes down to preference in type of games, obviously if you only play RPG's you'll hate the N64, but in my opinion games like Mario 64, Starfox, Goldeneye and OoT were completely unmatched at the time.

>>3527456
I was a Nintendo fan (owned the trilogy NES, gameboy, SNES) until Summer 1996 when I was tired of waiting for the N64 and and bought a PS1.

I never once regretted it because:

1. PS1 had every type of game you could imagine
2. The games were cheaper because of cheaper CD storage
3. The music was cd-quality and I hated the way N64 games sounded with their compressed music
4. Light gun game support which was huge for me at the time
5. Demo Discs - this seems like a trivial thing but as a broke ass kid I would love to get free demo discs and buy magazines with craploads of playable demos
6. Final Fantasy and other amazing Jrpg series like Xenogears and other games like Resident Evil that N64 did not have (besides the late as hell RE2 port)

The list goes on -

N64 had great multiplayer games, but nothing much else I cared about.

I liked it, but it would probably be on the bottom of my list for Nintendo's consoles. ( didn't play the virtual boy, and I personally think the Wii U has more entertainment value than the N64 )

>>3527920

i remember being insanely jealous of my friends that had playstation and got demo discs. i was a kid at the time and most of our parents were pretty strict, so unless we could pull a fast one at blockbuster, demo discs were the only way we got to play m rated games.

>>3527456
grew up with it, I love it more now as I go back and play games I missed or that my older brother kept to himself (basically all the rareware games)

>>3527903
kind of hard to have a thought that hasn't been thought to death on a board about video games from 20 fucking years ago

>>3527456
It has four controller ports, which is nice. I really had trouble finding anything I enjoyed playing on it other than Mischief Makers and Goemon, though.

N64 has F-Zero X, the best console game of its generation. Really all needs to be said.

>>3528090

Sin and Punishment is the best game of 5th gen.

>>3527612
>How come most games are so slow

N64 games usually were ambitious attempts at proto open world, following Mario 64's lead, while the competition on Playstaion and Saturn tried to be more arcadey in style by just using polygons where last generation sprites were used.

>>3527623
Kek.

>>3527623

I bet you weren't aware of King's Field's existence before the Souls craze started.

>>3527456
>Honest opinion on it?
Great, but you had to be there at the time. Getting 3 friends together to play multi is still fun today, but something is just missing now.

>>3527456
Probably my favorite console, they took a lot of risks with it and many of the games are fantastic and ahead of their time. The biggest problem it had was the controller, the joystick was basically broken by default.

Worst 5th gen console (of the main 3) but still better than any 8th gen one.

>>3527903
Sure, whatever you say, kiddo. Now go back to playing your Mario trash.

>>3527860
my palms burn just from looking at this. triggered.

>>3528023
Demo discs were a blessing and a curse.

Many magazine publications during that time would often have free demo discs of upcoming games attached to their covers.

The only problem was these demos were often glitchy, half finished and unpolished and would sometimes put you off from actually buying the fucking game.

The best idea was to rent the game over the weekend. If it was good, go and buy it.

>>3527456

The Good:
GREAT racing games (F-Zero X, Mario Kart 64)
Plenty of platformers
Plenty of party games
Cheapest console at release by a large margin
Cartridges are shock-resistant and have a much longer lifespan
Incredible compression work
Best at 3D

The Bad:
Some games lagged far too much (Gex 64 is around 20/15 fps with drops)
Few fighting games
Few RPG games
Few arcade ports or lightgun games
Very expensive games
Very poor cutscene quality
Worst at 2D

I think 5th gen was a time where consoles still had to specialize in either 3D or 2D games
Saturn was the ultimate sprite machine
PS1 was the jack of all trade
N64 was definitely the best at rendering 3D

My favorite is the Saturn, I'm honestly biased.

>>3527456
Too little, too late. The lack of 2D games didn't make the situation any better.

>>3527456
Was shit. Only reason I got hyped about it was because my dad got it for my brother and I for Christmas one year, but the game that came with it sucked (Knife's Edge), but he was cool about renting shit so I was able to play the staples like Mario 64, Quest 64, V8, et cetera

>>3527490
#1 being the Wii U? I'm mad that I wasted money on a Wii U

>>3528680
Why? Wii U has some fine games. And I'm saying that as a PC fag.

I usually always buy a Nintendo console as a 2nd gaming device. Wii U was a hell of a lot more interesting than the other consoles this gen.

It's a shame it didn't get 3rd party support.

>>3528685
That's ironic considering it's best titles are ports of games released on previous consoles.

>>3527456
It's shit, but this can largely be blamed on Nintendo's image quality policy, not the hardware. If they'd have accepted PS1-tier image quality then everything could have ran at 60fps and it would have been a good console. Cartridges are much better than CDROMs. Short loading times, no FMV, no pre-rendered backgrounds that don't match the foreground.

>>3528701
Splatoon was a port? Holy shit! Was Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze a port, too?

>>3528725
There were no image quality policies, except the requirement of no polygon draw order errors or blatant z-fighting.

Developers just did it cause they thought it looked better and if you weren't making an arcade port (not that there were many on the system) they believed nobody would care about framerate as long as the graphics looked good.

I also believe N64 developers felt a (perhaps misguided) need to try and compete with PC games for image quality since N64 hardware supported almost every PC graphical feature prior to DirectX 8 in 2001. The only omission in the hardware was anisotropic filtering support I think.

>>3527456
Every fucking game runs like shit.
Seriously, every game runs at 10fps.

>>3528804

Welcome to 5th gen, the early stages of mainstream 3D video games. Games do run like "shit" compared to what you have now (which still mostly runs like shit in one way or another).

>>3528830
At least 30 fps is playable and relatively smooth, most games on the N64 run at half that.

It was a great little system and provided me countless hours of fun over the years. However, I don't feel much inclination to continue playing these days due to the poor condition of the thumbsticks and the lack of quality replacements. Maybe if those Kickstarter campaigns that were working on proper replacements actually deliver a product to market I'll be interested again

>>3527530
spotted the 12 yr old

>>3527901
how did that stick get jammed up your ass?

>>3528804
F-Zero runs at 60.

>>3528832

In 4 player mode maybe. F-Zero X ran at constant 60fps, so the N64 could do it at the expense of less polygonal count. Most N64 games that have higher polycount (which was what made it stand out from the other systems bar PC) run at around 20fps, but they're still playable because they are constant, only time N64 really goes into single-digit territories is in some 4-player mode games.

>>3528804
>every game runs at 10fps.

Which is the best 3rd party controller for the N64?

>>3528862
Hori. They still aren't as sensitive as true N64 sticks.

>>3528851
f-zero x runs from 56 to 60 all the time.

>>3528739
>2 games
>Makes it worth dropping $200

But no, really, it has maybe 5 good games that aren't ports

Great console. Different to the psx. Games run smoothly, 4 players, many good games and little shovelware, no load screens, no grainy picture, last cart system, and revolutionized console fps, action adventure, platforming, and had the first super smash Bros. I dislike the controller, especially the joystick design, but it gets the job done. Is it better than PSX? Not sure. Its kinda like the snes vs Genesis argument. N64 runs games smooth like the Genesis, but the psx has more detail and better audio like the snes

>>3527456
Was shit to be honest

>>3529082
Fuck off, you never even had a N64.

I loved mine. If I was a bit older, I probably would have gotten a PlayStation, but for my age, N64 was perfect.

My favorite N64 games had a sense of immersion I'd never experienced before. OoT felt like a living world and just wandering around aimlessly was exciting. Walking way up on a narrow ledge in Banjo Kazooie felt so "real" my legs would go weak from the fear of falling.

Since then, I've been able to experience and appreciate other games from the era, and I spend more time playing PS1 by myself than N64. But N64 has consistently been the most popular multiplayer system between me and my friends from when it was current to now.

Some pretty garbage opinions around here.

>>3527456

-Terrible controller that was impossible to repair unless you had an engineering degree

-90% of the library is mediocre third party, has very few "hidden gems"

-Cartridges over CDs was the biggest fucking mistake of their life.

-Got the bum deal on JRPGs as opposed to the previous generation

-frames per second averaged around 15 making almost every game age like shit

-Rare isn't as good as people say they are, Banjo-Kazooie series is amazing, Conker's is charming but awful performance, Jet Force Gemini has the worst controls and performance ever, Goldeneye is extremely dated, Perfect Dark was good but not amazing, DK64 is absolute fucking trash.

+ Second place for the greatest first party line-up in videogame history. Mario 64 the greatest 3d platformer of all time, OOT one of the best 3d action adventures of all time, Mario Kart 64, Mario Party, etc.

+With the few hidden gem games that there are, they are quite good

+They got rendering textures correctly


+Better 3d in general


Overall I would say if you were a kid who loved specifically the high quality Nintendo branded first party titles I would say you still had a great childhood if you never had a ps1.

However in retrospect the Playstation 1 was clearly the superior console if you were a enthusiast.

It's not worth the price for a console and physical copies if you want to go back and play these games without shitty emulators either, most of them haven't aged well and run extremely slow.

>>3528872
>around $100
wow

>>3529112
>Jet Force Gemini has the worst controls

t. another idiot who couldn't find the "expert" control setting

>>3529128

I did, the controls are still not that good.

Plus the game is just kind of meh anyways, I think people think it's cool because it's an obscure rare game that had lots of blood in it for a kids n64 game. There really isn't anything that special about it.

>>3529134
>aim with analogue stick
>move with C buttons

it's really hard guys! really hard!

what's the bet the game kicked your hiney and you're just lashing out at it?

>>3529134
>it's an obscure rare game
This is the first time I've seen someone call Jet Force Gemini "obscure," and I can only assume you're some kid who was either too young or not even alive to remember it. Shit was popular in its day and pretty much anyone who played N64 remembers it.

No wonder your other posts are filled with typical meaningless edgy internet opinions.

>when OP says give honest OPINION.
Calling JFG "obscure" isn't an opinion. You're making a claim about the game's reputation that's simply wrong. And me pointing your mistake out was all it took for you to revert to temper tantrum shitpost mode because you have nothing else to fall back on.

>>3529207
oops, wrong post. Not even going to waste my time correcting it.

To change the subject, post the worst N64 game you owned.

>>3529215
I somehow own Superman 64. I remember a friend renting this turd back in the early 2000s and it being nigh unplayable. I haven't actually played "my" cart.

>>3527456
first console I ever owned, got it at age 7, I think. That said, its really not my favorite. There are good games but the replay factor is low on most games compared to the SNES, which a friend donated to me after I had my n64. Its really hard for me to try and figure out which system I sunk more time into. At the end of the day though I certainly have more love and nostalgia for the SNES. N64 I recall vivdly and have a lot of great memories attached to it though Im not sure thats due to the quality of the games.

Ranking the consoles I guess Id go
SNES
GC
NES
N64
WII

>>3528650
>Some games lagged far too much (Gex 64 is around 20/15 fps with drops)

Gex 64 is a horrible port, by the developer's own admission they hated working on the N64 and had no idea how to use its hardware properly.

>>3529248
>Its like they didnt even try

N64 could have been very good at 2D if they did try. It has an insanely fast 2D blitting feature (250 MPixel/s) that was probably never used.

Small library of games compared to ps1, but there were a lot of fun ones. Also n64 has the best sports games

>>3529215
Tom and Jerry fighter game
Im trying to think of some other awful games I had

>>3527456
Never had one but played with my niggas all the time
Goldeneye and SSB, PD all dank af game
I loves the 64

>>3527456
Roughly 10 amazing, must-play games and several other good ones. Well worth owning but personally I think the GameCube's library is far better overall.

>>3529614
I'm not young either. I'm 34 now so I was like 13/14 when the N64 launched. It was a great console but I think the GC was a big improvement.

IMO, it's overrated. Still a great console, but it's overrated as hell.

>>3529684

It's both underrated and overrated.
The reality is that people who overrate it are Nintendo fanboys who don't go beyond 1st party games, thus enforcing the anti-Nintendo guys to hate on the system due to "it only has 5 games!!1"

In reality both kind of people are lazy and never bothered to explore the N64's catalogue. Sure it's not as big, but it's no 3DO or Jaguar either. N64 is the Master System of its generation. Better hardware that was not always used to its fullest, not a lot of 3rd party support (at least compared to the competition) but still has a lot of quality stuff worth playing.

>>3527456
is a shitty console with a shitty hardware with shitty controllers and shitty everything.

but it has some good games.

and that's ok because nintendo.

Best

>>3529990

now that's some shitty /v/ opinion right there

>>3528607
The pros outweighed the cons with demo discs. I found so many hidden gems on the PS1 from demo discs.

Also, this was pre broadband internet (pre internet for many people) and shit like the PlayStation Underground cd-disc magazines were fucking amazing.

One of the things that got me into gaming outside of nintendo were DOS shareware games and the PS1 was the next extension of this.

CD Music is wildly overrated. Especially since quite a few major Playstation sellers (FF7 comes to mind), don't even use CD music.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyWa1U6T1DY

The fact that there aren't all that many games on the console is well known and has been a mark against it since day one. The system had all of two games for months. I know at least one kid who got sick of nothing but Mario and Pilotwings and sold it for a Playstation. But to be entirely honest, the actual number of PSX games I still play is about the same as the number of N64 games I still play.

sm64 best game of all time

but other than that ps1 is better, because it actually has a library. a lot of shovelware but that's just a side effect of it actually having games. also sotn second best game of all time.

its an alright console
just like the ps1, it's pretty okay for what it is; more of a saturn guy myself but yeah.

>>3530153
CD music IS better

I always thought the N64 pulled some really nice sound considering it doesn't even have a dedicated soundchip.

Contrary to popular belief, the N64 actually had a decent amount of arcade ports. It's just that almost all of them were from either Atari Games or Midway. Both companies' games, while still fun, had degenerated into brutal quarter munchers by this point, making these ports a welcome addition to the system's library. It also has Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits which, while containing games from Williams, is still under the Midway label.

Other than that, there's not much.
>Asteroids Hyper 64 has a port of the original Asteroids on it.
>Killer Instinct Gold technically isn't an arcade port.
>Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth is an arcade port, even if it seems to be poorly received.

I think that's about it.

>>3531157
>considering it doesn't even have a dedicated soundchip.

It's a bit confusing and not really all that intuitive, but the N64 didn't run audio purely through software. The GPU could accelerate audio.

>>3529614
The N64's main weakness is that the number of must-play games on it decreases significantly if you don't have friends to play multiplayer with.

>>3531678
if you don't have friends the N64 isn't for you.

>>3527456
great console.
- multiplayer layout (4 controllers)
- better, more stable graphics than PS1 with smoother framerate
- great sound despite cartridges
- last cartridge console
- the joypad always gets underappriciated. The combination of the analog stick, the c-buttons and the z-button was really great after getting used to. Just ask all the goldeneye gamers. Espescially the Z-button ... only kiddy console with a gun trigger!!!

>>3527456
A good system with a good share of flaws. First-Party games were top-notch. Third-Party was lacking but mostly due to having a small library in the first place. Thankfully, what WAS there ranged from mediocre to fucking amazing with a few outliers in the utter shit category. But to cut to the chase further:

+ 1st Party games
+ 4-Player Multiplayer games
+ Party Games, FPS, Racing, Wrestling, 3D Platforman, and ironically alternative sports
+ Goemon, Bomberman, Rare
+ Load times were nearly non-existent

- Fightan, Shmup and RPGs. Basically any arcade-style games were practically non-existent here
- that controller as a whole, from it's awkward design, to it's horribly flawed analog stick in retrospect
- expensive as fuck games
- Cartridge was a really dumb move in retrospect
- worst labeling/boxing combination
- small library

Despite it's negatives, it's still a great, albeit underutilized system.

>>3528650
>Few fighting games
Which is a shame, since the 64 had a 6 button layout. Perfect for said games.

>Few RPG games
This is the biggest shame personally. There's what Ogre Battle 64, and Quest 64?

Back on topic, the 64 was a good system. it had great games, and was perfect for party's. Though I never owned one until recently. My 5th gen console was the Playstation.

>>3527456
>Honest opinion on it?
My favorite console for multiplayer.

The most overrated console ever created. Small library with almost no worthwhile JRPGs, fighting games, or 2D platformers. The 3D games have aged like dogshit and the variety of games was minuscule. The only reason it still gets adored by the mainstream is "mah OOT review scores, I care what critics think XDDDD"

Also the controller was shit and the god awful space available on cartridges really hurt the system. Just compare RE2 on PS1 to RE2 on N64, it's not even remotely a contest which is made even sadder by the fact RE2 was the biggest game on the N64. No CD quality music, lack of space for games let alone FMVs, just no.

I still like the console and Conker's Bad Fur Day is one of my most personally important games. I'm not a sonyfag or especially a segafag by any stretch of the imagination, people are free to like candy better than gourmet but any attempt at saying the N64 is objectively better than the PS1 will be laughed off by me. SNES, now that's my favourite console of all time.

>>3527619
Which is why you're stuck in the past worshiping an awfully aged console, anon-kun

>>3528739
Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101 are my favourite ports

>>3527456
It has far more interesting games on it than people give it credit for,but the library is still tiny. And with multiplats nowadays, you're better off just burning CDs to play on the PS1 or Dreamcast. Still, it was a perfectly fine console. It wasn't something shit like a Jaguar or a port machine like the 3DO. I like the PS1 and Dreamcast better, but I really could have done worse for my first console than the N64. And Kirby and the Crystal Shards is still one of my favorite games.

Though I think it's worth trying out just for Fighter's Destiny and Hybrid Heaven.

Not surprising that someone with shit opinions would like a game filled with potty humour.

I have good memories of it and was sad when it was succeeded by the Cube.

That's pretty much all I can say due to my lack of technical knowledge

Okay I fee like I was a little too hard on it. Or just I didn't mention as much as I should have.

It was a great system for multiplayer games, especially the ascii wrestling titles. Even after I got a PS1, PS2, and Gamecube, the N64 was still out go to when we have company over.

And it was nice to have not needed a memory card until I got Rayman 2.

It also had one of the most comfortable controllers to me. It's just a shame that sticks wears out easily.

It is personally my weakest of that gen, but that because 5th was my favorite after 6th. All of the main consoles in those years feel strong to me. And I'm generally somebody who thinks that most every console likely has some titles that are worth checking out, unless it's just a legendary piece of shit like the R Zone or something

And console wars seem even more pointless now that these are just stuff for collectors/enthusiasts now and the marketing is long over. I figured people would already realize that Sega/Nintendo/Sony would never love them back no matter how hard they fought.

I wish I had a PS1 during 5th gen instead

That said I still consider Mario 64 the best collectathon of all time and Ocarina of time was also some great shit. That entire gen I was holding out for a Metroid game that I never got

Nintendrones BAKA

I was a wee lad when I first played the game and hearing one kid talk about it in school, I became good friends with him because basically nobody at my school cared about classic games, so I found my best friends just because of the game after being a friendless loser for so long.

I owe a lot to the N64 but I'm looking at it from a critical eye here

RE2 is only disadvantaged by compressed FMV video and audio.

Outside of that, everything is pretty close to the PS1 version, even better in some areas like resolution and surround sound simulation.
