/vr/ - Retro Games

It's expensive cause it's comparatively rare and in pretty high demand.

Why does PDP have anything to do with it?

>>560790

I've seen about 15 copies on ebay boxed and complete and they're all asking for £100+. Other games like mischief makers have fewer boxed copies and go for less.

Hopefully the bubble with burst soon.

>>560796
>rare
>high demand


you say this as if the terms are mutually exclusive.

>>560790
it's also hard to emulate well.

>>560801

A boxed and complete copy of big rigs isn't that easy to find but no one wants it.

>>560807

I want one of those.

>is it because of pewdiepie?

God, no. It's because it's a unique jewel of a game, with very passable graphics for early 3D, that everyone says is absolutely hilarious (didn't find it that funny myself, although I did enjoy the writing mostly,) and which basically ties together all of the great Rareware N64 games with added swearing and cartoon blood.

>>560796

>it's comparatively rare

>not playing this in 2001

you missed out

If you complain about this game being expensive/rare, try getting your hands on the PAL version

>>560790
Because fart jokes and wasted potential are in high demand.

>>560842

You joking? PAL copies of Conker's are ridiculously common. At least here in Northern Ireland.
Try getting a copy of Live n Reloaded though.

>yfw this is what it was going to be before someone complained about it being a mario clone

I went into it not knowing much about it kind of hoping it was a Banjo Kazooie type platformer, what I got was more like an adventure game with platforming elements

Which would be FINE, except a lot of the humor was extremely hit or miss to me and a lot of the charm wore thin once you start getting closer and closer to the ending

>>560834

But I did play it in 2001. I was only eleven but I loved it so much (along with Banjo-Kazooie, DK64 and Diddy Kong Racing) that I wanted to make a pilgrimage to the Rareware headquarters (about six miles away) to thank them for all they'd done and hopefully get given some sweet merchandise.

In retrospect I'm glad I spared myself the disappointment. I was genuinely imagining a huge building with a rotating Rare logo on a plinth in front of it. Because, y'know, people were playing these video games all over the world! A tiny office full of sleep-deprived people eating Super Noodles would have crushed me.

>>560858

So it basically would've been Kingsley's Adventure?

>>560858
Looks legit

>>560858

Really, you'd rather have a new Banjo-Kazooie/Donkey Kong 64 with costume changes and better graphics than what we got? That's crazy.

>>560872
I was the same age but had the opposite feeling. I based my assumptions about the vidya industry on N64 magazine, so a small office full of sleep-deprived people eating super noodles and playing video games would have been totally apropos. But they would have been insanely cool people.

>>560801
No he doesn't. The fact that he says "rare and in pretty high demand" suggests that they are in no way mutex.

I wish Conker had stayed as Twelve Tales. BFD gets old rather quick. The humor is pretty bad. I mean, it's a nice idea and it's done well in some aspects, but then after an hour you end up in an area composed of literal shit, where you fight a giant shit monster, and you have to get cows to shit themselves (and then they explode), all while music in the background plays with shit noises, and it's like, really?

>>560901

>based on N64 magazine

>you end up in an area composed of literal shit, where you fight a giant shit monster, and you have to get cows to shit themselves (and then they explode), all while music in the background plays with shit noises, and it's like, really?

ehehehehehehehehehehehehe, hehehehehe, hehe... yeah.

>>560913

A lot of people consider Conker Rare's best game. I disagree. I personally prefer Perfect Dark.

>>560941

I Conker

Gettit? It was like I was saying concur, b-but I said Conker instead. A-and it's funny because that's also a Rare game...

H-heh...

>>560957

>>560941

The first playthrough of Conker is a pretty uniquely entertaining experience, I possibly have more fond memories of it than I do of any other platformer. But, y'know, Perfect Dark came out in 2000 and I'm still playing it and enjoying it today. Quality-wise they're too difficult to compare, but enjoyment-wise Perfect Dark is miles ahead.

>>560806
Really? I emulated it a few years back with very minor problems.

>>560828
I still don't regret passing this game up at wal-mart back in 2002. It was fucking obvious that nobody wanted it AT ALL.

Because everyone loves poop and titfucking jokes.

>>561013
Oh god, using every single clip possible. Using every single other internet personality to aid yourself, in shitty quality no joke. Good god.

>>560806
>it's also hard to emulate well.
Na, you just need Glide64. And a controller helps.

>>561054
>I still don't regret passing this game up at wal-mart back in 2002. It was fucking obvious that nobody wanted it AT ALL.
Except it's a cult classic now. Maybe it did better in PAL regions, where people appreciated the British homour more?

>>561097
So is earthbound and legends. Doesn't mean that they're not failures and they're certainly not as good as the hype would lead you to believe.

>Deleting your post just to add another ">" to the quote
What the...

>>561054
It sold 700,000 copies. Deus Ex sold one million, and people are still fawning over it. A lot of JRPGs sell a fraction of that.

>>561103

Did you just call Earthbound and Legends failures?

>>560941
my nigga

>>561116
Sales-wise, they were complete bombs(the original legends being the exception).

Nobody really cared when they were released, they probably just bought the game because it was 5 bucks or something. Stores were marking the price of the game way the fuck down just to clear stock.

>>561127
And in legends case, people were just too busy waiting for the ps2 to care about that game.

>>560941
On a technological level, Conker beats PD. But as a game? PD is far, far better designed.

>>561013
Am I being trolled?

>>561013
He's trying too hard to be the next "Top 10 video maker with controversial opinions" internet celebrity

>>561175
>>561151
>This guy doesn't like a shitty video game WAAAAAAH.

>>561182
He's free to not like it. He just happens to miss the point of everything in the game.

>>561182
>has the generic top tens and video blogs
>blatantly rips off joshscorcher's "Why I Hate Okami" video
>misses the entire point of the game
How am I wrong?

>>561208
Humor is nothing when the game plays like shit.

>>561075
Don't knock titty fucking til you try it.

>>561234
>Humor is nothing when the game plays like shit.
The actual gameplay is okay. It's not amazing, but it has plenty of variety.

>>561234
>shit gameplay
Average, yes, but you don't know the meaning of shit of gameplay if you think that's shit

I don't know why people bother having doubles of any other games

>>561298
What's the deal with Legacy of the Wizard? Is that supposed to be coveted? Never heard of it.

>>561395
Nah. It is just my personal favorite NES game. I bought a spare copy one day for no reason... Probably so I have one to look at while I play the other.

>>561413
I suppose if the price is right, it never hurts.

>>560801
They are.

Super Mario World is in no way rare. It is the most common SNES game. But it is in higher demand than, say, NFL Quarterback Club 94, which is a rarer game.

If I drew a picture, it would be unique - the only one in the world. But, there would be zero demand, so it's worthless.

>>561413
that's hilarious. I'd probably due that too, on accident because nes had so many fucking games with similar names and covers...wizards this legends that.

>>561426
Yeah, I need to compose a list of all the NES games I own to avoid this. Over the years I don't even remember for certain what I do and do not own.

>>560801
do you even english?

>>561280
>This game doesn't play like shit because this other game plays like resident evil!

>>561013
around 6:50
>Hates the parts of the game that everybody likes. Likes the part that some people consider the flaw of the game
the "durrr I'm so unique and special" is strong with this one

>>561728
I hate people like that. His video is awful aside from that.

>>560796
>It's expensive cause it's comparatively rare

Uhh yes, I don't recall it being developed by Nintendo.

It was expensive enough even before PDP played it.

>>561760

>>560858
Why is anyone upset about this? I'm not a huge fan of CBFD but christ, it's better than that video.

>>561013
>Hey guys, what if it's satire?

>>561816
It is unique now. I am glad we got BFD. It still would have been a mind fuck if they had released 12 Tails, and then BFD a year later or something.

Rare made a smart move with this game by making something different. It had lots of variety in its gameplay but I'd trade that for a more tight, consistent and challenging experience. I wish it went either full platformer or full third person shooter, and levels were built around that, rather than a mixed bag.

It's not because of pedopie. It's because it's artificially inflated.

>>560790
Pewdiepie is a fucking faggot

>>562309
but the little kiddies love him

>>562375
his shit isn't funny, its annoying

>>562375
Sad but true. When my youngest cousin told me he was into PDP, I wanted to set him straight. But I choked it down and played dumb as to who that was.

He'll grow out of it on his own. I hope.

>>562408
Its over he's part of the bro army now.

>>561749
Kinda reminds you of someone dosen't it?

Its really not that rare of a game. Its just in really high demand. I guess its because its the only Rare platforming game that most collectors dont already own.

>>562428
The guy is pretty good when he's actually critiquing a thing, rather than just making lame jokes.

>>561013
This kid looks, sounds, and acts like a gigantic douche. His video is just guaranteed replies and he almost seems to miss the entire game.

Also, is my autism acting up or does the game footage look really fucking stretched to everyone else, as well?

>>561013
>these cogs are too hard to hit
>wah 1/10 shit design would not play again
Couldn't even make it 5 minutes in, guys.

mah nigga.

(you should check out the "Glenntendo" Youtube channel - the guy uploads issues of the mag and narrates his way through them)

>>563675
You mean "glennplant"?

>want a physical copy to play Heist with friends again
>those prices

I had found this in a cash converters for 3 dollars in great condition, and my fucking dad sold it on craigslist for like 45 dollars.

>>563289
only he to suffers from the "my opinion must be different than everybody else" how often in his top 10s have you heard him say "ok I know everbody love this film, but I'm sorry, I just don't like it"

Stand back, kids. The master is here to let you know the score.

>tfw I've got a good quality boxed version of this and I had no idea it was worth this much.

I came across a copy of bad fur day for only $20 when I didn't know about it and decided I would find reviews for it and come back later if I still wanted it. It looked like a cool game from what I saw so I came back a couple days later and the guy said he can't keep them on the shelves and that he could sell them for $90 now... fml

>>564227
How much do you WANT to pay?
How much are you WILLING to pay?

>>564492
What is it with you and dissenting opinions?

Not everyone like fucking Cars, you know.

>>564492
That's his character.
If you saw his Disneycember and Dreamworks-uary videos, he does say exactly that (e.g. Shrek)

>>560872
Check out the Rare building in Twycross on Google. Your eleven year-old self had a more accurate idea of it.

>>561108

>>561013

Oh my god I am in fucking tears watching this kid's video.

>he refers to the character of franky the talking pitchfork as a cliched "bitter, elderly countryman"

I don't think I'll make it all the way through but I'm enjoying it for now. Also I like how obvious it is that halfway through recording the "Plot" section someone pointed out to him that it was satire and he just hastily tacked a bit of backpedalling on the end.

>>564947
I know right? Why would he not just re-write that part instead of tacking on excuses?

>>564193

yep, that guy.

does he actually have a background in the industry or is he just a guy doing it for the love of N64 mag?

>>564193

Also, my mistake. I think he's "Glenntendo" on facebook

Sage for double-post

>>564947

>you're supposed to stand on these tombstones so that the zombies can't touch you

No, you're just supposed to shoot them.

>but this also makes them impossible to shoot sometimes

So don't fucking do that, idiot.

>>564808
It's kind of a shame how his out of character reviews are much better. They just work well.

I honestly believe Conker's Bad Fur Day has some of the best writing that was ever put into a video game. I think it is really easy for some people to dismiss it as "potty humor", but the more you dig around in the story, the more you find it is pretty much taking a post-modern view of video gaming at the time (and by that I mean CBFD regularly points out video game conventions or interacts with them humorously). I honestly consider it as an entire package to be one of the best games ever. It is reaches the level of "art" for me.

Now that said, CBFD does have flaws. The swimming parts are brief but tedious. And as a whole, it does nothing really spectacularly well gameplay wise, but it is solid through out.

>>565780
>post-modern masturbation
>good writing

That's deep, bro.

>>565787


There aren't many games that handle the medium in such a way. Even for the straight up plot, it is sort of an absurdist gem rounding out with some Vonnegut tier Deus Ex Machina that gets turned on its head.

>Even for the straight up plot, it is sort of an absurdist gem rounding out with some Vonnegut tier Deus Ex Machina that gets turned on its head.

>>565878


Ok, what are some games that you think have better writing?

I don't care about the game that much...

Now that multiplayer mode... That was the shit. Genuinely hard Ai. Playing War or Heist with some bros on Einstein... It ends friendships.

>>565893
The walking dead

>mfw I got a complete boxed copy for $30 bucks on ebay

I'm considering selling all of my 64 stuff cause I'm strapped for cash but god damn I don't want to.

>>565780
I can see that. I think it is certainly one of the best 3D platformers of all time, but yeah. The swimming parts are bull in all of Rare's games, so that's no surprise. I actually found Conker has better swimming than most of their games.

>>566049
Better absurd or comedic writing.

>>560858
dawwwww, they put a wittle hat on him for the cowboy level.

but yeah, thank god they went in a different direction.

my copy is a bit busted and a rental copy, but you can't beat 5 bucks...
