/vr/ - Retro Games

>>5435435
Never heard of this but from that fucking pictures on the cover, I'm gonna say yes. Jesus christ.

>>5435476
holy zoomer, why are you on this board?

It's a middle of the road ARPG.

>>5435435
it's decently fun but there's not much to it

>>5435435
yes

>>5435435
Probably wouldn’t have been judged as harshly if it had come out earlier than 1998.

>>5435435
No, it was fucking amazing, my brother and I still replay it. I love the music so much. Also, honey bread.

>>5435435
It's not that bad, it'does have some issues though.

I actually really like the presentation, it's a very good looking game considering the hardware. If they had done what they wanted, that is adding the princess and a knight as playable characters then the game would've been much better. It would address the biggest issue, those being the tedious battles.

Of course if they had added some variation to the spells and had the magic scale better then I'd say that it would've been a 7.5/10 game.

>>5435435
It's not that bad, but there's nothing to it. In a world with dozens of rpgs to choose from this one lacks a lot of features. The story is fine, but simple and uninteresting. The graphics are colorful and pleasing to look at, but the overall design is pretty boring outside of a few monsters. The music is good, there's no bad tracks. The progression (a mix of exploring and xp) is fine. There's nothing to do outside of following the main story and combing the maps for secrets. No mini-games or side quests, which is a glaring flaw when compared to what other jrpgs of the time had to offer. In the end it's best selling points were the combat system, which had a decently surprising amount of depth. With moving to dodge attacks, and positioning to cast spells most effectively.

A mile wide and an inch deep, the game is fine if you want a time waster. But if you want a game that tells you a good story, or has good game play to let you have fun with, there's many others out there. People really wanted a good rpg for the 64 at the time, and this wasn't it. So all they had left to do was sit and get angry at it.

>>5435435
i never made it very far in this game when i rented on weekends from blockbuster as a child

I love this game.

>>5435435
Not really, just fairly mediocre.

>>5435435
it's like Golden Sun without the everything.

>>5435435
That bad compared to what? What shitposters on this board say or what "the community" in general thinks about it?
Not that it really matters because at the end of the day it shouldn't be an issue as long as you're having fun yourself. I know saying that has become sort of a cliche but still, what's the problem if you're just having fun with Quest 64? There's no reason to assume it's a game without flaws or that you can't debate its flaws of course but that's not related to your question OP.

INB4 some shitposter replies and says "yes that's a huge problem because *insert random nonsense*"

>>5435830
exactly, thank you.

>>5435830
>awful camera
>combat early on is horrendous, later stages the spells in each category are the same and the supposed "best" ones get beaten out by lower tier spells
>have to run around to line up spells since there's no way to know if it'll connect or not. (some may enjoy this but for me it's just stupid)
>forced to pick two elements able to max while the others get left behind, but that's okay because there's only two really important elements anyways
>can't level up all stats at the same time like every other fucking RPG - can only do one at a time which makes leveling up extremely tedious
>story pretty much nonexistent until last hour (may not be subjective)
those are my major gripes with the game - I hate it and it fucking sucks, but I'm sure there's people out there who enjoy it.

>>5436121
then dont fucking play and come and complain about it. the fuck you want us to do you fucking mongoloid. jesus fucking christ.

>>5436128
>OP asks if it's bad
>explain how after a full playthrough it is bad
>I'm somehow a sperg
real barn burner we got going on here

>>5436151
he doesnt need our permission to play, if the game play is bad i just put it down and say it sucks, fuck this. end of story. i dont go on rampage on how bad it is.

>>5435480
are you defending that art on the cover?

The apologists for anything N64 related on this board, holy hell. The game is an absolutely abysmal shitshow, and somehow one of if not the closes thing the N64 had to an actual RPG. It was a slap in the face for pretty much any SNES RPG fan that desperately bought it.

Some games have redeeming characteristics, but this game is a half-assed less-than-mediocre pile of absolute garbage. I am incapable of the gymnastics others are doing ITT to look upon it with anything but contempt.

Life is way too short to play shit like this imo, but do what you like lol.

>>5436173
you do realize this game came out like several months after the launch right. Like, wtf do you expect some epic ARPG thats going to blow your mind, when 3D was just starting.

I've never played it but the aesthetics of it look super comfy to me. That alone makes it probably worth a try at least. I kind of like how generic it seems

>>5436171
He's pointing out
>Never heard of this
Which at the very least marks you as someone new to the board.
>Are you defending that art on the cover?
Motherfucker that Art is pretty good in comparison to some I've seen.

>>5436168
>He doesn't formulate his opinion based on a full, well-rounded playthrough

You might just be the most retarded poster I've seen on here in months. Good job!

>>5436204
thanks man. I guess I am retarded. It's a miracle I can even type.

>>5436168
I legitimately have no idea what you're getting at here bud, which is a real feat considering what website we're on. Have a good day! :)

>>5436207
im just super saiyan my man, not trying to insinuate anything. just because people behave a certain way in a website doesnt this board needs to be that way.

>>5436168
>He doesn't need our permission to play
No, he asked us if it was really THAT bad, lrn2read
>if the game play is bad i just put it down and say it sucks, fuck this. end of story.
Some people have this thing called 'dedication', so they finish what they've started. I know for retarded-ass zoomers that's a strange thing since you twits don't even want to finish growing up, but it's something older gamers appreciate.
>i dont go on rampage on how bad it is.
Nor did you learn proper spelling or how to argue in school, evidently, but here we are.
Giving a full opinion to fellow anons is one of the things we do here. If you don't like it, leave.
>>5436210
>im just super saiyan my man,
Definitely a 12-year old.
>not trying to insinuate anything. just because people behave a certain way in a website doesnt this board needs to be that way.
You mean literally the way that 4chan has been since before you were born?

>>5436210
Huh????? I laid my points as to why the game isn't good nicely and even said at the end if you enjoy the game then that's great.

This thread is fucking bonkers

>>5436216
I like all of your assumptions. Keep up that hostility fairly sure it will get you somewhere I believe in you.

>>5436227
What assumptions? From what I can see anon applied 1-to-1 to everything you said, no assumptions attached. Don't act like the thread's picking on you when you just don't have a point. Get off of /vr/ my dude, you're definitely too young to be here.

>>5436238
I'll be honest my dude, but none of what you said was on point about me. I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am not going anywhere nor I'm I a zoomer or whatever the fuck you call people under 20 or 25. The only thing you got right was my spelling, which I'll give you because sometimes I type to fast for my own good and dont bother to proof read. With that, I am not going anywhere so you are stuck with me here. Later.

>>5436178
Quest 64 came out in 1998. The N64 launched in fall of 1996.

>>5436370
I think a lot of people assume Quest 64 was a relatively early release but no, it came out only four or five months before Ocarina of Time.

>>5436392
I always thought it was launch game.

>>5436171
The art is fine retard

>>5436667
Yeah if you’re a fan of Mega Bloks.

Next time someone says "Golden Sun did well because there was no competition" point him out this game.

>>5435435
If you stand it against the RPGs of its day. Yeah it's kinda shit.

>>5435435
>Nintoddlers are so desperate for more playable games on their losing system that they have to try to desperately rewrite history

Imagine going from FFVI to.....this.....

Nintendo sure did a good job of pissing off and scaring away all of their third party support.

>>5435491
>>5435604
>>5435637
>>5435813
No.

It's not ok, it's not decent, it's not mediocre. It is absolute trash.

I wouldn't say this game is great but I had a lot of fun with it.

While it's small there are a lot of good atmospheres

>>5435435
I played it very young, and I thought it was an avant garde masterpiece.

Back tracking to go back to a save point and being confronted with the last boss. Pretty kino.

Who knew, it was bad. lol

I hated it as a kid and remember the very first forest on the way to the bandit getting raped, then the bandit raping me.

Later I replayed it can discovered Wind and I think fire are useless. Water and fucking Earth, Earth you just spam spell Earth attacks.

>>5437397
I think the final fire spell is good, I don't really remember though.

>>5436121
>>5437397
Avalanche was broken as fuck. And Magic Barrier which was in EArth as well for some reason makes you invincible for a long time.

>>5437412
Not him, but it's alright but earth is better to max and the lesser rank spells are more efficient anyways

>>5435435
I remember renting this game and not having a fucking clue what to do. I was so pissed. Took it back and got Starfox instead. Was much happier.

>>5435637
>People really wanted a good rpg for the 64 at the time, and this wasn't it. So all they had left to do was sit and get angry at it.

Lol, zoomer detected. Most kids didn't give a shit about RPG's at the time, because all the good ones were on PC which no one really cared about and the only ones on console were those "gay japanese turn based games," all the kids were pretty fucking stoked just to have Banjo, Golden Eye, Super Mario, Starfox, and Pokemon Stadium.

>>5437609
What the fuck? Can you /v/ retards leave and stop thinking saying "dumb zoomer" is an argument? I knew plenty of people growing up who wanted an RPG on the N64, and I'm sure plenty of others had the same experience.

So fucking stupid, this board has truly gone to shit.

>>5437609
Pfft yeah all the kids back in 1998 were stoked about all those cool PC RPGs. Fucking nerd.

>>5437609
Meanwhile in reality: Final Fantasy VII was a mega hit that normies bought in droves.

>>5437636
Oh and Banjo Kazooie is for fucking faggots.

>>5437636
Bought and never played.

>>5437609
So I haven't been on 4chan in a few years and I gotta say I don't even know what a fucking zoomer is, I assume a post-millenial or someshit? Anyway 4chan hasn't changed a bit.

There was a falling rock spell you can get really early in the game and it's gamebreaking. Once you know how far away to stand from monsters you can spam it and it's pretty much instawin.

>>5435787
same, no idea what i was doing though
basically grabbed all the food and died

>>5437747
Yeah you nailed it. It's the new newfag.

>>5437787
wait do people not say newfag anymore because it's too PC? lol

I dunno if I've ever said "fag" in my life but newfag is different in my brain I guess

>>5437747
>>5437791
Zoomer refers to anyone under the age of like 23.

>>5437609
>zoomer detected
Proved you were an idiot there. I played the game the game when I was 16 in 99, and all those points are right. The only things that anon said that sounded better average were the music and combat.

>>5435435
Paper Mario and Zelda taught us how a N64 RPG could be with a decent team behind of it, anon.
Quest 64 isn't as bad as let's say, Superman 64, but there are so little good things about it and so many frustrating things that I really wouldn't reccomend it to anyone expecting to see a game that made use of the N64's potential.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7t7WlNw_BI

>>5437791
Nah, 4chan's just dead and we're partying in the corpse. So many people came and never learned the culture so that what we had was replaced by new shit. But it functions the same so all all the old tricks still work.

>>5437747
It's used to imply the person is gen-z, which means their entire post is suddenly invalid - basically a cop out when you don't actually have an argument

>>5437825
I can tell it's a corpse with how slow some boards move... no idea where people are now... probably on Facebook when I've blocked all their IPs for years...

>>5436171
GTFO filthy zoomer

Honestly I'm not sure why the visuals are getting shit on so hard.

>>5437838
Because vr is 90% zoomer; most people posting here don't even meet the basic age requirements

>>5437842
i guarantee you, atleast 3/4 posters in this thread are less than 25 years old

>>5437847
I'm 30 and get called a zoomer in almost every thread

I get it that I never did a deep dive on one particular genre

That's kinda why I'm here in 2019, why are you still an asshole???

Unless......... you're a zoomer who just got to 4chan and so you're an asshole like when I just got to 4chan???

But no, you're prolly old too and just never grew out of it. I don't even judge anymore. I'm jealous of your ability to judge and have taste and get pissed about video game opinions in 2019. I sure as fuck don't expect to make everyone happy all of the time over the internet after all these years. So more power to you.

>>5437857
I wish Mammon was the final boss of real life... that's the one I can handle easily

>>5437861

Fargo??? Guess someone in Japan saw that movie while making this game.

It was so bad it was released later in Japan with changes to make it less bad, and it was STILL bad.

>>5437874
You can polish a turd but in the end it will still be a turd.

>>5437874
They lowered the experience curve and boss stats, specially the first boss, and extended the ending a little bit.

>>5437838
It's a really good looking game when you consider the hardware it's on.

>>5435435
It really wasn't THAT good.

>>5436959
In a way mediocre is the worst a game can be.

>>5435435
I always saw people lament the lack of RPG on the N64, so I decided to check it out, and jesus, Quest 64 and Paper Mario almost make up the entire RPG library for that system. They weren't kidding.

test

>>5438135
It just means it's not interesting to discuss, it's not always the most annoying to play through in my opinion. I'd rather play a mediocre FPS or platforming game than a really terrible one, even if that might lead to funny reactions to read or watch.

>>5437854
You get called a zoomer because you lack taste; it's pretty obvious

>>5438386
/rolling eyes emoji.

>>5435435
The battle system was pretty cool desu. I also liked the eerie unsettling environments you explore. Wish they kept the other playable characters and released Quest 64 2. Also the japanese version is much better and has a true ending. The cover art could have been a lot worse.

>>5437638
Banjo Kazooie has far more depth than Sonyggery Final Fantasy VII

>>5437621
>>5437630
>>5437636
>>5437747
>>5437812
Buttmad sonygger mankiddies, lmao

Kids from 8-14 (which, lets be honest, was the biggest demographic at the time in the 90's) couldn't give less of a shit about RPG's. Only if you were some mega-nerd dork did you give a shit about your favorite console getting some obscure foreign shit that no one even really had the time or technology to look up and research.

Besides, Goldeneye was better than FFVII

>>5435435
played it after FF7. It was shite

>>5438847
Fuck off 'segawidow' shitposter. We all know you're just drumming up falseflagging shitposts just so people argue for the sake of it. You couldn't be more obvious.

Greetings, someone who actually plays Nintendo games and doesn't waste his spare time strawmanning on an imageboard.

>>5435435
No, it was just insufferably fucking boring. Maybe if the devs didn't have to cut so much content it would've been the N64's FF7, or Panzer Dragoon Saga.

>>5435435
The only thing I remember about this game was wrecking every single enemy all the way to the ending with Wind 3 or whatever that Wind spell was called. Don't remember the story or anything, or the monster designs. Played it when it came out.

>>5437609
>FFVII is quickly bought up by every preteen and teenager causing a major uptick in JRPGs being released overseas
>Most kids didn't give a shit about RPG's at the time
>"gay japanese turn based games,"
I think we know the Zoomer is here, Zoomer.

>>5438137
That's why people retcon the two zelda games as rpgs rather than action/adventure. There's also an Ogre Battle game for it if you count tactics rpgs. I think there's a few japanese only rpgs that never came out over here. I've never seen a single person talk about them, even among japanese retro gamers.

>>5439765
There is Hybrid Heaven as well.

>>5439765
>That's why people retcon the two zelda games as rpgs rather than action/adventure.

I don't know why anybody would do that. it's false and I guarantee it's not the majority of players either.

>>5439990
It's only done by people who think any fantasy game where you have a bit of choice over what your character does is an rpg. Or contrarians on /vr/.

>>5439936
Yeah I guess. It's definitely got enough of the mechanics to seem like a rpg. I count it as an early example of an action game with rpg elements, like many other games in the post vr era. Even though that style/sub-category didn't really exist yet. I'm not going to die on this hill though.

Ironically, it's one of my favourite rpgs. I think it's charming in a very eerie way. The barren lands make it seem like you are wondering in a post apocalyptic world with small villages/towns scattered around doing their best to survive, with monsters hanging in the outskirts. I also love the OST and simplistic, yet fun battle system.

>>5438137
two games out of the entire library of 40 games is a pretty high percentage

>>5440196
>N64 has 389 games
>but some faggot /v/ poster says otherwise

>>5440196

4/10 cheap and lazy but will probably still get a few (You)s, so it does the job.

>>5440174
You love how you have to level up each stat seperately rather than together like every other RPG?

>>5435435
Generic RPG 64

>>5435476
Yeah THQ fucked over the artwork.
The PAL version retains the original japanese art.
What's also weird is that the game has 3 different names, Quest 64 in USA, Holy Magic Century in Europe, and the original japanese is Eltale Monsters.
I like the european title the best.

Memes aside, is this palom clone an actual bad game? People like to talk without actually playing games (See FF2, DQ6).

>>5435435
Yes, NA boxarts are really THAT bad.

>>5440862
>original japanese is Eltale Monsters
Not original. The Japanese version was the last of the three to be released.

Is the GBC version any good? I heard it's better than the N64 one.

>im just super saiyan my man

>>5436889
Golden Sun is one of the top tier rpgs..

>>5437638
....

>>5437397
>>5437417
This. Maybe it would be salvageable if it had good mechanics, but the heart of the system is fundamentally broken.

Did anyone even play test this before releasing it?

>>5437791
people still use adjective-fag all the time

but, for example, you can be a newfag and be older - zoomer refers to gen z kids and implies immaturity and a lack of hands on experience with a retro boards subject matter. As in they get their opinions from memes and youtube vloggers, not actual play time,

>>5437838
>>5437857
.....wow some real compelling dialogue there

>>5437609
In elementary school my friends were all really into RPGs like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Even some obscure ones like Guardian's Crusade. I'd say that JRPGs were a pretty popular genre at the time especially if you had a playstation.

>>5435435
I was to young to really know if it was good or bad, but I didn't get very far and only re-rented like once at best

>>5440428
I don't mind it personally since I actually like battling in this game. I would be lying if I didn't say it would be more convenient, but it's also nice that you can choose certain paths to go down as far as the magic goes.

>>5437857
Bad ass battle theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqe44lMEvmQ

>>5438117
First boss was pretty brutal in the damage he would output. Honestly I'd have to grind my water to get cure so I could self heal without needing any breads before I would go and face the first boss.
>>5440916
It is decent. I get enjoyment out of it because it does stray from standard fill up an exp gauge and get predetermined stats and levels once you level up. You fill your element meter and when it ticks over you can assign a point in one of the four elements, and if you level up many elements at once you can navigate the spell menus in lets say wind elements and if you press up to go to the fire side you unlock a wind/fire combo spells that you only obtain through fire and wind investment. While the game isn't huge on exploration due to how the level design is, it is still worth going off the beaten path because you can find wisps to get an instant element level to assign. Mana regenerates on its own out of battles and it regenerates between turns when you don't use a spell so the game is more magic focused than other JRPGs since it allows you to use magic a bit more liberally while giving you a reason to just whack enemies with your staff.

There is an almost complete lack of items, no equipment at all, just some consumables in a limited inventory. Really no side quests, it is a straight arrow with the story which doesn't bother me personally but to others it does. Plenty of recolored enemies as well but they do get some new spells. You can move around in battle which can help you evade attacks, especially if you know the sorts of attacks those enemies do and I swear you could dodge an attack with a precise button press right before it connects but I am unsure about that. Walking around can get a bit slow as well.

While Quest 64 isn't worth playing, there are worse JRPGs and other ones that are more offensively boring than it.

>>5440986
It is almost the same game with a few new bosses and of course in 2D. I think it is shorter as well.

>>5441942
That is in no way "bad ass". It's not unpleasant, though.

>>5440986
If you've played the first one all the way through it's neat to see how this one translate the game to the gbc. It's almost 1:1 with town/overworld maps being as identical as possible to the point where the secret wisps are even in the same places. and the battle system is also virtually identical. There's a little bit more going in with the other children characters, they show up in a cutscene near the end. There's no new mechanics, and none of the existing ones were improved. Whether keeping everything the same while translating a 3d game to 2d is impressive or not is up to you.

>>5439765
>people retcon the two zelda games as rpgs

They don't. People referred to Zelda style games as RPGs at the time because virtually everything else that had 'levels' instead of worlds with towns were not RPGs.

Even as a kid I could figure out spamming earth was the best option. The combat was deeply broken and the rest of the game was completely remarkable in every other category. The N64 needed some good RPG entries and this wasn't it. I should probably give it another go, I feel strangely nostalgic about it despite it being my least favorite N64 game in my collection.

This game is pure. All of the criticism levelled against it betrays the same Zoomer mindset. Fuck off and play fortnite and never ever post here again.

>>5435435
There were only 3 RPG's on the N64, and only 1 was good, yes it was that bad.

>>5444536
A literal non-argument, based.

>>5444547
Sorry, I forgot you guys play Apex legends now. Leave Quest 64 to me.

>>5439765
>people retcon the two zelda games as rpgs rather than action/adventure
>retcon
It's cute when people born after 1995 pretend to be grown ups.

>>5444536
No, people actually hated it back then too. Stop trying to retcon history.

>>5443123
Rock Avalanche spell could randomly hit multiple times and was by far the strongest spell . And you can't progress at all without leveling up the water element Healing spell.

>>5444653
>No, people actually hated it back then too
Not me. One of my all time favourites. I don't understand the hate. Yes, I concede that it was the Dark Souls of its time, but difficulty aside the game was solid with an outstanding soundtrack. Pro tip: You can beat the game if you put in the effort, I know you didn't get past the thief.

I'm not sure if it was this or Aidyn Chronicles that were the precursors the modern day, empty world console RPGs. Compared to what was coming out on the PS1 and PC at the time, it pales in comparison. Maybe if they finished it then it wouldn't be such a pile of gabage.

>>5446452
Fuck off, retard. You didn't play it. None of you tasteless little shit heads did. Go pick your fucking drop zone. Your online discord "buddies" are waiting to play another 12 hours of loot and shoot.

>>5446553
Is a mediocre game like Quest 64 really going to be your hill to die on? Come on, buddy.

>>5435435
Yes. This game was released ultimately unfinished and rushed.

I like what it tried to do, but playing through is a genuine slog. It's painful and quite uninteresting.

For what it's worth, I do enjoy the art-style and general audio direction. The combat system is unique and combined with my previous points makes for the very little that's enjoyable.

I can't even really remember the dialog, but I don't recall it as interesting.

My last gripe is actually the combat system. The level-up system is heavily flawed.

>>5444851
Wow, can't argue with that logic. "I liked it therefore no one else hated it!"

>>5446573
That and the inverse of this statement are the basis of every internet argument ever.

>>5446553
who hurt you anon? did a zoomer knock up your girlfriend?

>>5446568
Well, fuck me for enjoying the game I guess. It isn't perfect, I get that. It has its flaws, but I'm not prepared to shit on a game that gave me many hours of entertainment. There is room for a game like Quest 64.

>>5435435
Yes. Honestly nostalgia is the only real thing the game has going for it. The graphics were mediocre, the combat had interesting ideas but was tedious overall, especially since the best build was the "hit enemies with your fucking stick" build, the dungeons were tedious and didn't have many obvious markers to let you know where you were, making it easy to get turned around and accidentally wander back the way you came. And the game itself was so bare bones that the fucking gameboy port had more story and general content.

>>5446585
It's not that you enjoyed it as much as you can't handle the realty that a lot of people didn't enjoy it. And you're right there is room for Quest 64 in a landfill

>>5446576
Did I strike a nerve, kid? Look I don't mean to shit on your little flavor of the month, (which one is it now? Apex legends? Fortnite? PUBG?) All I ask is that you don't come here and shit on the games that I played when I was your age.

>>5446594
>there is room for Quest 64 in a landfill

Not gonna lie, any of the games you just listed are better than Quest 64. This is coming from someone who grew up on Quest 64 and only barely played PUBG when I got a free copy.

Quest 64 is just not a very good game. Nostalgia can be powerful, but Quest 64 is objectively not a very good game.

>You didn't play it.
I did play it and fuck off with your strawman. Are you the anon that said something about enjoying it with his brother? It's nice that you have a good memory tied to it, but you can't change how people overall received the game.

What the fuck is wrong with you, like for real? Why are you this angry, trying to imitate /v/ on /vr/? I made some of the earlier posts itt listing out stuff it did well (not much) and things it did horribly, but I guess in your eyes unless someone loves this game and puts it on the same level as classics then the person is a zoomer or something.

idk dude, have fun whatever it is you're trying to accomplish here

>What the fuck is wrong with you
I'm the only person on the planet that likes Quest 64, apparently.
>unless someone loves this game and puts it on the same level as classics then the person is a zoomer or something.
Not even close, it's just when an entire thread is piling on to shit on a game that I sincerely enjoyed, I'm not going to join in for giggles, I'm going to offer my own opinion as well.
>then the person is a zoomer or something.
I just can't believe I'm the only one who is defending this game

>>5446690
So then offer your opinion and talk about it normally and not like a spastic autistic retard who can't handle differing opinions

>>5446810
You first. Serious question to anyone who didn't enjoy Quest 64. Did you actually play the game for more than 10 minutes? If so, did you beat it? If you did beat the game, why did you stick with it if you hated it so much? If you didn't beat it, did you quit out of difficulty, or because you genuinely weren't interested?

He ded on

I'm not that anon, but I'll answer your questions as someone else who did enjoy the game.

I have put many hours in Quest 64. I've beaten the game 3 separate times, each time doing a different build. I find the story charming, Shannon Stork is an interesting character in my eyes, and the combat is more fun to me than more traditional turn based games because it allows for some reaction outside of your turn.

I love the game, I've even played the gbc remake to completion once, and I plan to do it again if I ever find a cartridge for it. Hell if I die rich I'm going to buy a tomb for myself and have the walls inscribe with a walkthrough for it -complete with the ascii art- just to fuck with people on the off chance archaeologists find it years later. I'll never regret playing it in my life. All that said though, I can never really recommend the game to anyone else while being honest with them.

Loving Quest 64 is like being in a fan group for bad movies, you have to admit there are flaws in order to appreciate it more.

You're not the only person. I liked its atmosphere, but I also played it without the influence of any reviews as a child before ever discovering PSX RPGs. Went back and played it recently and still enjoyed it some, 7/10

Japan version better.

>>5435435
Doesn't really do anything terrible or great. It's very very middle-of-the-road.

>>5435435
Better than final fabasty 7.

By knowing what you like, even if no one else on earth would agree with you. Moving past the need for validation from others enjoying the same media as you is step towards knowing yourself.

I just wrote a massive post about this game and as soon as I clicked captcha all of my text completely disappeared

What the fuck

>Not ctrl-a-ing, and ctrl-c-ing your post.

What you just witnessed was god deleting your bad post for you. Consider yourself saved.

>>5435435
No. It had a certain charm to it.

If you never played a RPG before and a N64 was all you got, this was quite okay. Same as Mystic Quest.

I have it on my xbox original and ive played about 10 hours, had to restart a few times because I just kept getting fucked up by monsters.

I just suck I guess but this game is hard

>>5440986
It's basically a nearly 1 for 1 port of the 64 game, which is kinda impressive if you think about it. It actually has more story content than the 64 game, like actual cutscenes with narrative.

I only played it on emulator. I remember I thought I found a copy of it at a used games store some years ago, but it turns out it was some shovelware reskin of a puzzle game. Turns out there are two Quest franchise games on gameboy. Something nearly identical happened when I tried finding a copy of the GBC port of Dragon's Lair (play a rom of it if you can, it's kinda shocking that they managed to port Dragon's Lair to gameboy almost one for one.) But the game I bought (from the same store) was actually a reskin of some platformer about kids going to a circus.

I was pretty depressed that it happened two times in like 2 months.
