/vr/ - Retro Games

Mmm yes, remember when N64 flopped so hard it got cancelled in 1998?

>>6706704
that's all they had to play so they still talk fondly of it

>>6706704
What I want to know is what about N64 makes autists seethe decades later?

>>6706704
mere nostalgia.

>>6706710
b-b-but the saturn o-o-outsold the n64 in japan by a couple million units, take that n-nintendork...

>>6706725
It outsold it by like 100k in Japan.

>>6706725
I like the Saturn, but /vr/ acts like N64 was a Jaguar-tier failure.

>>6706704
>For example Banjo Kazooie is an extremely mediocre run of the mill platform game
I absolutely agree there are much better games in the n64 than B&K and it's overhyped mostly because e-celebs (muh jontron) and n64 fans kind of overhype their games too (oot best game ever/ mm the best zelda/ sm64 best game ever) but it's not like the shiturn even had anything at the level of fucking B&L, die mad shiturn fag
t.psx and n64 chad

ps: fixed your image, no one gave or gives a shit about arcade ports the console
>>6706727
and it sucked balls in the rest of the world, maybe if sega made a proper Sonic game for it's release instead of Gay into Dreams

>>6706731
Think of it like this right?
1. n64 games are not meant for replaying, they're one-and-done 6-20 hour games with a lot of padding
2. if you were an american you had an n64 as a kid
3. there's not a lot of n64 games period
4. it was very easy to play those good n64 games just by growing up with one for a few years, the games were everywhere and everyone had them
5. the games are seriously flawed technically and it shows
6. what else is there to talk about after the games have been discussed? if there's not a lot of games to discuss, the focus will shift from celebration every time someone brings it up to criticism
7. some people are way too attached to it and will defend it, even if it's a hard console to go back to, they will also refuse to try anything else
8. turns out a lot of people would rather discuss its competition these days probably because the n64 is so over-discussed
that's probably why it's talked about by some as a jaguar-tier failure.

>>6706713
Lack of "press X to continue" games, aka RPG's.

>>6706731
388 officially released games...

>>6706750
And if they hadn’t been any good, the N64 would be a Jaguar-tier failure.

>>6706753
50% of those games being sports and cookie-cutter racing games...

>waaah! people like xyz game too much!
Please explain to me suitable or better options for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn then, instead of complaining about how everyone else is too busy enjoying the N64 to play the lackluster niche games you want them to. There's a lot of games I like between all 3 consoles, but come on now.

>>6706704
>>6706737
Nah here the real version, nintendies shouldn't feel good about beating a literally who, back then people didn't even know the Saturn existed

>>6706763
Evidently there was enough good shit in that library to spare it from becoming another Jaguar, 3DO or even Saturn.

oh hey the /v/ segautismo that makes daily n64 hate threads is now posting here

>>6706779
Not really, the only reason it wasn't a total failure is because burgerfats are obsessed with mario and zelda. If you aren't a Nintendo fan, though, the system is severely lacking in variety.

>>6706704
>ps and n64
>generation defining gotys still being talked about and played today like oot and ffvii
>saturn
>arcade ports and games still no one gave a shit to translate

>>6706763
And people buy the games they want, not the entire library. There was more than enough games to have fun with to last the console's lifespan.

nostalgia glasses

>>6706783
That's literally just a more needlessly inflammatory and autistic version of what I said.

>>6706768
tf we didn't. Stop pretending you were even alive when the Saturn came out.

>>6706743
Point 1 is way off. A lot of the best N64 games were multiplayer games meant to be played again and again, and even the single player games like Mario 64 or OOT have a lot of replay value

>>6706836
Saturn was quickly becoming a non-entity by the time the N64 came out, let alone when it actually picked up steam. The fifth generation lasted long enough that you could have kids who got into gaming when it was at its peak, but weren't aware of the earlier contenders.

>>6706836
>tf we didn't
Not an argument, I was there and no one gave a shit about your failure, everyone had a psx with the occasional kid with the n64 and chads with both but no one ever even mentioned the Saturn

>>6706704
but OP this is bait, Banjo is a good game, what would YOU call a good 3D platformer?

>>6706842
god I love the multiplayer of mario party 3.
First we need to sit through a 10 minute tutorial every time we play. Then you slowly take turns, watch the characters walk around. Finally after a dice mushroom talks to you for 3 minutes he tells you its time to play a mini-game. This is it, the main content. First we get a 10 minute tutorial and it's the most fun ever. We read it together aloud, all 4 of us. Anyone who gets ahead needs to start over. When we finally finish reading the description and tutorial (usually after 25 minutes) we get into the epicness. The minigames. Riveting, deep, fun, easy to pick up and play, I'MPOSSIBLE to master. We're in. This is it. For a minute we race around the track, whoever wins, is god.

It's over. Finally, the mini-game is finished and we return to the fun, the board game. After nintendo explains to us for 5 minutes what a second turn means, we roll the dice and do it all over again.

Nintendo multiplayer DEFINED the n64. It's timeless.

>>6706880
Crash Bandicoot got it right, instead of falling for the open-world meme like Mario 64 and Banjo, it was pure straightforward arcade-y action like the scotformers which came before it.

>>6706904
Sounds like a personal problem.

>>6706913
Found the mad sega fan.

>>6706907
>tfw donkey kong (country) 64 was literally going to be exactly that before mario 64 changed everything

>>6706783
So you buy a system but won't play some of the best games it has because you don't like the brand? Are you retarded?

>>6706704
It had amazing games but a bad library.

I'm anti n64 but this is really getting old and excessive. It's time to do your job, mods. Range ban these 2 or 3 zoomers in charge of all shitposting, or at the very least add IDs already.

>>6706921
Nintendo games have specific qualities that make them very unappealing, usually game play sacrifices for visuals, lack of options, TONS of tutorials and lengthy text dumps that can't be easily skipped and are easily repeated.

When you get into Nintendo you kinda buy the whole package and it's hard to stomach unless you're very forgiving.

>>6706907
>linear substance over gameplay shit
Even as psxfag I say, miss me with that gay shit, psx was for real meat that lasts 40-60, I even take the Gex games over Crash's

>>6706940
>bloated game design good!
Let me guess, you're under the age of 30.

>>6706921
Very much this. Every N64 thread gets shit up by some retard who's like "the N64 has no games, and no, the good N64 games don't count, name me 20 essential [genre I'm well-aware that the N64 doesn't cover] games right now, sweatie". I don't see Saturn threads routinely shit up by people demanding 3D scotformers and/or FPS games on that console.

>>6706907

>>6706935
>usually game play sacrifices for visuals, lack of options, TONS of tutorials and lengthy text dumps
this just sounds like modern games, I mean I like it too when games are simple enough to not have instructions or let me find out on my own but saying it's a Nintendo only problem is retarded when lots of Nintendo games don't have that either

>>6706960
Nintendo games basically popularized it. Ocarina of Time is a migraine inducing game with how slow the text dumps are.

>>6706946
>more content bad!
Let me guess you're some wagie that doesn't has the time for some real games anymore

Most of the N64's best games consist of Pop Games, titles like Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Banjo Kazooie. Mass-market, simplistic enough for children and still appealing to adults, they mostly exist to release dopamine and make some bucks. They are so ubiquitous that this is what most people assume the medium to be about, and anything that deviates from these Pop Games must be pretentious garbage. Of course the PS1's library is filled with Pop Games too (Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Crash Bandicoot), but it's also filled with interesting shit too: LSD Dream Emulator, Germs: Nerawareta Machi, Kowloon's Gate, and so on. ALL pop games are hugely overrated by the children who played them and who grew into adults that think these toys are the best the medium can be, but that's just a consequence of media illiteracy. The N64 is a console of Pop Games and that's why it's so overhyped, its small library is responsible for this media illiteracy as it is all that people were ever exposed to and all that people thought the medium could ever be.

>>6706704
Can we all just universally agree that ps1 is the best though? Gex 3 is the best platformer of tha era and compared to the rest of the ps1 library it's barely a footnote.

>>6706980
Nincels would prefer death to that.

>>6706976
>sony fan bragging about his console having literal nongames
Is anyone surprised at this point?

>>6706976
Dial it back a few notches.

>>6706980
That's a given, the PS1 doesn't just have something for everyone, it has a lot for everyone. Arguably the greatest console of all time.

>>6706968
It's just sounds you don't like adventure games or games with dialogue at all, me too hate that shit but as a kid or when you play it for the first you don't care because you actually have to read to know what to do, I get what you're saying but it just sounds you're impatient, I'm pretty inpatient myself too so games with text dumps specially at the beginning are tend to drop but I don't blame the game, I know I'm impatient and just want to play the fucking game

>>6706989
Jack of all trades, master of none.

>>6706980
>>6706983
>can we just universally have the same opinion? Fuck having your own thoughts you have to conform to my view

>>6706989
It has dick for FPS games.

>>6706994
In one sentence with no irony or stupid memes explain how the N64 is better than the PS1

>>6706991
I do actually, but only when it's interesting. Nintendo doesn't know how to do interesting dialog or characters, they never knew how. I'm actually trying the Brightis meme right now, it's really good! I got stuck early on and there was this puzzle that a sign post gave you a hint to. I can't read Japanese so I broke out my phone with google translate running and it translated it, and from there I could figure out the answer. That was an awesome experience.

In ocarina the fairy would dump 3 paragraphs on you when the solution is to touch the button, push the block, and you're done.

>>6706996

You'll find that there's a lot to discover on the PS1, and before you know it there will be mountains of games for you.

>>6706879
>my failure
At what point did I say I was a fucking fan? I merely stated we were aware of it. Keep talking for everyone though, faggot.

>>6706984
I don't have brand loyalty. I recognize the PS1 as a console with a great library but I think the Saturn has one too. Games like Baroque and Torico/Lunacy are more interesting to me than a lot of what is considered "better" on the N64, like Star Fox or Paper Mario. The popular consensus of what the "best games of all time" are is really a consensus of what the best children's toys are. It's not that people are wrong about what's good, it's just that they're mistaking their evaluation of pop game entertainment as some definitive take on the overall medium. The people who think games like Super Mario World, A Link to the Last, Super Mario 64, etc. are the greatest games of all time are no different than the people who think Avengers: Endgame is a cinematic masterpiece. Odds are that person just hasn't ever seen a serious film before, I'd be blown away if they ever watched Fellini, Bergman, Varda, or
Tarkovsky. Again, that doesn't mean Avengers is bad, it's just that it is a tiny slice of what's possible with the medium. What we have with games is sort of a nightmare scenario where all that everyone ever talks about is which kid's toy is the best, it really hasn't elevated beyond schoolyard talk in grade school. I'm not calling your toy garbage, I'm just saying that games where you don't jump on the goomba's head or shoot the bad guy are underrated, while these Pop Games like Mario and Zelda are maybe overrated when placed in the context of the medium as a whole.

>>6707004
Breath of the Wild is unironically a bad game and I would argue most Zelda games are only above average while failing to be anything spectacular due the variety of mechanics and themes they try juggling at once in order to differentiate themselves from past releases, while never building upon past groundwork in order to refine and perfect said themes and mechanics. If you love PS1, go play Alundra you fucking faggot.

>>6707009
>any post is automatically an argument

>>6707021
And most peoples knowledge of the PS1 ends at square, a couple of konami games and crash bandicoot.
It's really not hard to figure out people just don't know the games. Otherwise they wouldn't demonstrate how little they know so often.

>>6707023
Sure, Medal of Honor, Medal of Honor Underground, Quake 2, Disruptor (this one's pretty solid), Alien Resurrection (by the starfox guys, tough but interesting), Armorines (shit), Dark Forces (runs a little slow and it didn't do much for me, I know it's popular however), Doom & Final Doom, Hexen, Powerslave/Exhumed (easily the best FPS of the gen), The World is Not Enough (not my kind of game), Descent 1 & 2 and NotDescent: Forsaken, Codename Tenka (controls were kinda weird, got used to it after a bit but only tried for a half hour), Shadowmaster, Hexen, Germs.

Just to name a few. I'm sure if you're into the genre you'll find plenty to like.

>>6706976
ok ill ask, wtf game is that?

>>6707062
germs, open worldish first person game. Japanese only.

>>6706836
I didn't know shit about saturn. Rich kids had 64 poorfags had playstation
Saturn didnt exist

>>6707040
>>6706976
>different =/= good
look dude even as a huge LSD fan I still admit it's nowhere as good actual games like the "pop culture" games for the "plebs"

>>6707076
He's doing a bit and you fell for it.

>>6707051
>Powerslave/Exhumed (easily the best FPS of the gen)
Easily the most overrated FPS on this board, it is given such ridiculous praise as it is the lone good FPS for PSX/SAT that isn't a port.

>>6707040
Is there anything worse than pretentious hipsters?

>>6707073
>rich kids had 64
From my experience, everyone out in rural bumfuck middle of nowhere had an N64 with an obligatory WWE or white trash game, while people near metropolitan areas had PlayStation with tons of movie licensed games.

>>6706976
>Germs: Nerawareta Machi
Try making a thread about that game. Let's see how much discussion you can get out of it, hipster.

>>6707085
Yes, PlayStation inherited the title of... er... "people near metropolitan areas" console from the Genesis after Sega alienated that particular market with its Ku Klux Klan advertising campaign.

>>6707073
Rich kids had both
Most poor or just kids which parents just bought the more economic console had psxs
snes veterans and little kids had n64
no one had saturns, not even mega drive veterans

>>6707081
It's a really good game, you should beat it if you want to be taken seriously.

>>6707092
>heh...this unpopular japanese only game won't be discussed much
what's your point? /vr/ has an exposure problem? I think the solution to that is obvious.

>>6707103
>I think the solution to that is obvious.
Enlighten us, anon. Make a thread to educate /vr/ in your precious obscure "eXperimental" P.S-X. games. Let's see how awesome those games really are!

>>6707112
I do it pretty often, why do you think this is a new thing?

>>6707103
>It's a really good game
It's good but it's far from a masterpiece. It has no variety at all and is way too easy.

>>6707115
>I do it pretty often
Lets see those archived threads.

>>6707115
I just checked on the archive and couldn't find any thread with discussion about Germs.

>>6707118
I found it pretty challenging and the levels to be a ton of fun. What do you mean by "no variety?" It had plenty. Each level had different game play concepts. I don't think you're a good judge of what is and is not a masterpiece.

>>6707123
Who said I make threads about Germs? I haven't played that one yet.

>>6707126
>I haven't played that one yet.
Thanks for being honest at least.
Getting really tired of the "omg PS.-X has so many eXperimenTalZ titles!!" most of it is non-game garbage and the only redeeming factor they have is the (sorta) cool cover art which looks nice on a 3x3 mosaic or whatever.

>>6707126
>What do you mean by "no variety?"
Few weapons, few enemies, little environmental variety.

>>6707101
>snes veterans and little kids had n64
Reverse from what I've seen. Little kids here had the PS1 because their parents bought it for them being that it was cheaper and had more licensed games of things their kids might already enjoy like Muppets, Looney Tunes, or Bob the Builder. Any JRPG veterans also jumped ship once they found out Final Fantasy and Square would be switching to PlayStation. People I knew who had an N64 where all teenagers who insisted on waiting for the N64 and then wasted it by only playing sports games.

>>6707130
You talk kind of like an annoying faggot when people bring up games you aren't familiar with.

>>6707132
Has a pretty typical selection of weapons and some cool power weapons. Enemy variety is fine and it mixes up the settings pretty early on. Keep in mind it all takes place in one area. It's like complaining that Doom looks to hellish.

>>6706746
But isn't that what made the SNES so good according to most "best of..." lists?

>>6707146
Jrpgs weren't mainstream until ffvii

>>6707112
Have you played the game in your pic? Is it good? All the info online is really barebones

>>6706763
Even more so for PSX and Saturn, with a gargantuan library meaning more mediocre/garbage to wade through. Please to be so delusional as to think this isn't the case.

>>6707157
>NO THOSE ARE UNIQUE EXPERIMENTAL GAMES

>>6707153
They were niche, but they were still old Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire, Chrono Trigger, and some console Ultima players who switched to PlayStation.

>>6707157
>with a gargantuan library meaning more mediocre/garbage to wade through
With more gold as well. It's all well and fine saying "only 10% of anything is any good," but then you can't ignore that 10% of 10,000 is still higher than 10% of 100.

>>6707150
>Has a pretty typical selection of weapons and some cool power weapons. Enemy variety is fine and it mixes up the settings pretty early on.
You use the pistol and M60 against scorpions and anubis zombies in generic ancient Egypt locations for 90% of the game.

Allowing 5th gen on /vr/ was a mistake. Close the gates, ban it, hope underage kids rioting for muh retro Xbox and GBA go away.

>>6707174
I would say more is still a minus even with less gold because unless you're an incel loser who plays outdated games nobody plays anymore then it's pointless.

>>6707197
but then retro becomes about gen and not year

>>6707201
Ah, so I guess speedrunning events are the true measure of quality after all.

Lurker here
Anyone got the image of the guy playing on N64 at a walmart while several anime MILFs are shopping in the aisle?

The guy was photoshopped in to include controller and crt of banjo kazooie playing. Oddly specific but I need the image. Pls and thanks.

>>6707181
Nah, the pistol isn't very useful after you get anything else. I take it you got stuck in Amun mines. By the time you're fighting mummys you have the Amun bomb and Cobra staff.

>>6707150
>You talk kind of like an annoying faggot when people bring up games you aren't familiar with.
Kind of bold for someone who admitted to not having played the game himself, but still namedropped it, don't you think?
Here's the thing, I've played Germs. Go agead, try to make a thread about it (after you actually play it yourself). Let's see how much discussion /interes it garners beyond the cover art.

>>6707229
>Kind of bold for someone who admitted to not having played the game himself
What, should I not know the name of games I haven't played? What's the point of this comment at all?

>>6707225
The pistol remains useful for as long as the game keeps using scorpions/spiders, so the whole game.

>>6707245
I prefer the m60 or depending on the size of the swarm, amun bombs.

>>6707235
Point is, you came out as a poser who posts "experimental" games that he has never experimented himself. That's all.
Speaks volumes about the kind of people who often post pics of said "hidden gem" ps1 games, but never actually discuss them.

>>6707263
I still don't follow. Should I not know the names of games I haven't played? Should I forget Halo 5 exists? The fuck are you talking about you psychotic retard?

>>6707270
Nevermind anon. Keep posting about Germs and bring it up as an experimental "not pop" game for the P.S.-X.

>>6707271
When did I call it a "not pop" game?

>>6707270
He's saying to actually play a game before stroking it's cock.

>>6707271
Germs is pop as fuck. And the bad kind of pop, too, as everything on the ShovelwareStation.

>>6707270
Hey where are those threads about obscure PSX titles?

>>6707281
They're old so they've been archived. I also don't talk about the PSX here because it's not retro.

>>6707274
When did I praise it? I only said its name.

>>6707283
>They're old so they've been archived
No shit genius, lets see the archived threads.

>>6707289
Sorry I clear my thread watcher of dead threads every few hours, so I don't have them any more. I've discussed brave prove in the past if you can find an archive of that.

>>6707293
At this point it is abundantly clear you are completely full of shit.

>>6707302
I have no idea why you're so volatile about this. You wanna talk about the games so bad why don't you make a thread about them?

>>6707283
Get to know more of the game instead of the name. If you're going to post games, be prepared to talk about them otherwise you've contributed nothing to the discussion.

>>6707305
I was just answering a question about it, and it got you very upset. I don't know why telling someone the name of a game is such a problem for you.

>>6707304
You're probably a pathological liar unironically.

>>6707312
On the contrary, I just have a half dozen nincels jumping down my throat for telling someone the name of a game and listing a few FPS games on a console.

No idea why these people are so angry, but it tells me it's got something to do with old wounds.

>>6706743
1-You can argue the games replayability isn't good, but the idea that they were intentionally designed to only be played once is laughable.

2-Where and when are you from that you think every american had an N64 and that it's game library was so easily accessable that everyone has played them?

I know there's a lot of revisionist on /vr/, but holy shit, this one takes the fucking cake.

>>6707317
>2-Where and when are you from that you think every american had an N64 and that it's game library was so easily accessable that everyone has played them?
I grew up on a country with blockbuster (America) and the library was extremely accessible and if you had an n64 you generally had the same 5-10 games. (goldeneye, mario kart, at least 1 mario party, mario 64, zelda)

>>6707214
t. thinks he's smart for playing old shitty games and being a console warrior of said games 25 years later.

>>6707316
You're lying about making threads about muh obscure Playstation games. Why did you do that?

>>6707324
I'm not. You may not remember but keep in mind the past few weeks we've had bernie spam from a nintendo discord and gba spam from an autist. Maybe you're only attracted to certain kinds of threads and don't remember them.

>>6707308
>it got you very upset
lmao, did I ever say I was upset? For future reference, people will actually enjoy that when you post a game, you can describe what it's about, why it's experimental, what makes it good, etc. Otherwise that post is filler and might as well not exist. It only detriments the games you wish to showcase because it makes it more likely people will recognize the cover art but not the game and have it sink into the back of their mind while they move onto things they haven't seen before that grab their attention.

>>6707328
If they existed you could link to the archived threads. Why are you lying?

>>6706763
This was back when developers were actually competing with each other instead of buying the exclusive rights to major leagues and releaseing minor updates as full fledged games every season.
Back when Controls, presentation, graphics, physics were always worlds apart from each game at each release.

Try to keep in mind that you're not on a /v/ thread.

>>6707332
I've never seen someone react like this and not be upset. Look, these are my posts that mention germs from earlier in the thread: >>6707051 >>6707067 >>6707126

Maybe don't try confusing posters with one another and you'll come across as less of a schizo.

>>6707336
I clear my thread watcher frequently as I mentioned here: >>6707293

>>6707345
>>/vr/
Where are the threads?

>>6707353
Search Brave Prove and you can find one :)

>>6707345
Again, you only mention the name and genre of Germs. Please take time actually discussing games you like instead of blasting a list that people are going to forget half of.

I never said I like Germs, I was just answering a question someone had about it. You're very confused and very angry, I get it, but you need to calm down.

>>6707364
Why don't you just link it? Also Brave Prove is not an experimental or obscure title. Everyone knows it now that it got an English translation. Total pop shit. Where are the threads about muh obscure games like Germs?

>>6707372
Why would I make a thread about Germs? I've never played and have no questions about it. Who said I only make threads about experimental games? Are you confusing me with someone else?

>>6706907
except the second and third games immediately went with letting you play the levels in any order you wanted.
And they still promoted an anal retentive amount of completion by replaying the levels until you got that single fruit crate you kept missing right before the unavoidable checkpoint.

And all 3 games abused the hardware so badly that it wore out the consoles laser prematurely.

(that last one doesn't have to do with the argument, its just something I'm still fucking mad about, because they fucking knew about it too, and they did nothing.)

>>6707370
>you're very confused and very angry
Quit projecting. I wouldn't be responding if this wasn't entertaining.

>>6707376
>Why would I make a thread about Germs?
Because you namedropped it ITT.
>Who said I only make threads about experimental games?
You said you make threads about muh obscure experimental games. But you obviously don't. Why did you lie?

>>6707389
Some people enjoy their anger, but I think it's clear you're territorial about this.

>>6707390
>Because you namedropped it ITT.
Yeah, I was answering someones question about it. Should I not have done that? Should I not know the games I haven't played? Why are nincels so psychotic?
>Why did you lie?
What did I lie about exactly? Link to posts.

>>6707403
I'm genuinely curious why you think I'm angry. I just want to know more about Germs, man.

>>6707407
I'm not the right person to ask, I only know a little about its design. I recommend playing it if you're curious.

>>6707403
>Should I not know the games I haven't played?
You shouldn't post about how great experimental games are while not actually playing them, poser.
>What did I lie about exactly?
In response to "Make a thread to educate /vr/ in your precious obscure "eXperimental" P.S-X. games" you said "I do it pretty often". That was obviously a lie. Why'd you lie though? What was the motivation behind that action?

>>6707409
>I haven't played it
>I recommend playing it
But why? Tell me about it. I don't want to play a game someone can't sell me on.

>>6707415
>You shouldn't post about how great experimental games are while not actually playing them, poser.
I agree, when did I do this exactly? Can you link to a post?

>>6707416
I already told you all I know about it.

>>6707419
I want to know more. Explain to me what prompted you to post about this game you haven't played. What's so enticing about it that you would post about it without playing it?

>>6707439
>Explain to me what prompted you to post about this game you haven't played
Someone asked what it was so I told him the name of it.

>>6707419
>Can you link to a post?
Alright. >>6706976
Why do you keep posting? You've already been completely and utterly exposed as a poser and a liar.

>>6707445
Thanks for linking a post I didn't make? Why are you so vitriolic and angry?

>>6707447
Who are you and why are you replying to me then?

>>6707449
Because you replied to me. You've mistaken me for someone else entirely and have been on a goose chase about a game I only told someone else the name of.

Really are you retarded or something?

>>6707442
Why did you post it, anon? Why brag about experimental PS1 titles if I can't become interested in having you tell me about experimental PS1 titles?

I've been spending the last 25 minutes laughing at this post.

Please tell me about the experimental PS1 games though.

>>6707479
I enjoy Devil Dice and IQ.

>>6707452
>You've mistaken me for someone else entirely and have been on a goose chase about a game I only told someone else the name of.
Well you're obviously the guy who said you made threads about obscure Playstation games all the time, which was a lie. That guy posted obscure shit nobody ever plays so you can see the confusion.

>>6707483
What are those about though?

Is it just me, or was there a, dare I say it, relative dearth of sideview hop-n-bops on the Nintendo N64?

>>6707485
>obscure Playstation games all the time
Yes, I do. Not even Playstation too, lots of consoles. I enjoy sharing off beat and fun games.
>which was a lie
No, it was not.
>so you can see the confusion.
I can see it, and I'm not gonna lie, the level of asshurt from nintendo fans has been hilarious. You guys get so upset over this. Get over it, the N64 lost.

>>6707487
they're puzzle action games. Lots of fun.

>>6707493
Can you make a thread and post images?

>>6707497
Yes I can

>>6707493
>Yes, I do
No, you do not.

>>6707504
I do, Try and prove I don't like how you proved I was this guy: >>6706976

You psychotic faggot.

>>6707490
Mischief Makers
Tarzan
Tigger's Hunny Hunt
Yoshi's Story
Kirby 64
That's all that comes to the top of my head and 2 of those are multiplats that were also on PS1. N64 had an odd mix of things.

>>6707509
Burden of proof is on you, genius.

>>6707514
On the contrary, I've already proven I post about more obscure games. What's your problem exactly?

>>6707518
>I've already proven I post about more obscure games
I see no proof, liar.

>>6707526
I see plenty of proof, proof that Nintendo fans are the most autistic and unlikable faggots in the world.

>>6707529
Getting a little grumpy I see, yet still no proof. I would say quit while you're ahead but I think that ship sailed ten posts back.

>>6707538
>I would say quit while you're ahead
Right? >>6707445 Great advice.

>>6707543
I don't get it. You still haven't posted any proof. Why not?

>>6707549
I have. Are you OK? Mentally ill maybe?

>>6707551
Where are the archive links? I don't see any, do you see any?

>>6706836
I didn't know Saturn existed at the time lol. I didn't even hear about it till 2 generations later and assumed it was between the Genesis and the 5th gen. Fuck. I didn't even realize it competed with the n64 and ps1 until people started retroactively hyping it up recently. The thing was non-existent at least in the USA. Same with the Dreamcast. I remember people talking about how hard Nintendo fucked up with the Gamecube but I never even heard a pepe about the Dreamcast.

>>6707556
Yeah the archive is right here: >>6707353

>>6707559
Yeah I linked that to make it easier for you to link your threads, but you haven't done that for some reason. Now why would that be?

>>6707565
I searched for a thread I made and it's on there, even told you how to find it :) Shouldn't be hard.

This is now an underrated N64 games thread.

Shadowman is great because it has a comic book like story meshed together platforming and minor third person shooting with magical abilities. Fantastic graphics and cutscenes for it's time, but the controls haven't aged so well. But if you're used to tank controls like Croc, then this should be easy enough to get the hang of. If anything, the tank controls can add some benefit to the shooting segments.
There is a Dreamcast version too, but disclaimer as I have not played that version. I will assume it's better being that it's the Dreamcast.

>>6707567
Why not just link it?

>>6707576
Because it's fun dragging you around in circles, I don't want the night to end.

>>6707570
better on dreamcast

>>6706768
So having grown up in that generation, there was actually a point where I knew more people with Saturn's than those who had a PS1 or N64. Granted that was a short period of time, about late 95 to early 97. That said the Saturn was definitely known. The 3 Free games deal in 1996 really did move a lot of systems.

>>6707579
Damn, thought so. It's still a good game worth checking out. There aren't a whole lot of voodoo magic games out there with a nice sassy grimdark vibe to it.

>>6707579
>Because it's fun dragging you around in circles, I don't want the night to end.
That was literally the gayist thing I've ever read. I still see no proof.

>>6707589
I think nightdive got some rights to it recently. I heard the name being thrown around a few years ago.

>>6707591
You know how to get it when you want it nintubby. Just gotta work those brain muscles a bit.

>>6707595
>You know how to get it when you want it nintubby. Just gotta work those brain muscles a bit.
Imagine getting so exposed as a liar you start acting really gay as some utterly strange attempt at deflection. Where are the threads you make frequently?

>>6707603
In the archive, like I said. Why are you so lazy anon?

>>6707570
I completely missed out on Acclaim games during the N64.
It's like a whole branch of history I haven't gotten to touch yet.

>>6707595
There's a remake in the works, but nothing on a sequel sadly. Hopefully these posts can get some people interested.

>>6707608
You said if I searched I'd find exactly one thread about a not experimental, not obscure game and I'd have to figure out which of the several threads was yours. Why not just link it and what about the other games you make threads about?

>>6707609
Acclaim is odd because sometimes their games are complete dogshit and other times they have stuff like Turok and Shadowman. Currently playing through Turok 3, not as good as Perfect Dark, but it's really good as far as N64 shooters go so far. Makes me wish the N64 Mouse used in the N64DD was compatible.

>>6707610
If there's any indication from recent retreads in reviving old games for new/souped up releases, there's never really sequels planned. Even if they do great, sequels don't really happen. Sega is the one that leans closest to making sequels with SoR4, Monster Boy, etc.

>>6707618
Brave Prove is pretty obscure anon, go make a thread on /v/ and see how many posts you get.

>>6707621
I tried Turok 3 but found it to be completely unplayable. By the second stage you're slogging along at single digit framerates and it really turned me off. It's a shame because it seems much better designed than the first two.

>>6707624
Brave Prove got an English translation and is not experimental at all. It is also one game that you supposedly made one thread about. Hardly what I would call frequent threads about experimental titles like you said.

>>6707637
Make a non-nintendo thread on /vr/ is very experimental, ambitious and even a little edgy. A true risk.

>>6707642
Can you stop obsessing with Nintendo for two seconds and post some links to your threads?

>>6707631
Were you playing with High Resolution settings on by chance? I would actually recommend not doing that, it might be nice in intricate corridors but in wide open areas it's an absolute pain.

>>6707648
Can you? Genuine question.

>>6707656
No, I wasn't using high-res mode. Those often don't have a huge impact on the framerate of N64 games, just a slight dip. I did want to play more and the gadgets seemed really cool but my god it became unplayable quick.

>>6707663
>Can you?
Clearly, all I've been asking for is some proof for your claim of creating threads frequently for obscure experimental Playstation games. Yet you can't do that and instead start talking about Nintendo for some odd reason.

>>6707670
I did, but apparently it doesn't count, so now I'm just dragging you around.

>>6707683
Because they ask you for proof of your claims? Is everybody a nincel to you? You seem a bit mentally ill.

>>6707690
I posted proof, you just didn't like it so it doesn't count. Now you're throwing a tantrum. I'll never get why you're so angry. Must be a N64 exclusive.

>>6707698
>I posted proof
Telling me to find your proof for you is not posting proof. At this point it is beyond extremely obvious you're not telling the truth.

>>6707707
Oh no a Nintendo fan thinks I'm lying, this is awful. What will I do now?

>>6707726
I know you're lying.

honestly who gives a shit if this guy that has nintendo living rent free in his head made threads about shit psx games not even psxfag gave a shit about?

I just think it's funny some hipster poser would lie so blatantly and then for some truly unknowable reason keep responding.

Alundra is a great game. That we can agree on. Most Switch shit is soulless garbage like most games made today, so I haven't tried BotW for that reason yet, though Mario Odyssey was pretty fun from what I played.

>First we need to sit through a 10 minute tutorial every time we play.
You set the game up, which takes about 1 minute. You can skip the video at the start, but it doesnt last anywhere near 10 minutes anyway.
>Then you slowly take turns, watch the characters walk around.
you can speed up the movement on the pause menu.
>Finally after a dice mushroom talks to you for 3 minutes he tells you its time to play a mini-game.
3 minutes? 10 seconds, maybe? Again, you can skip all this anyway
>a 10 minute tutorial
What? I dont even know what you are talking about but the pre-minigame screen does not take 10 minutes. It pops up and you can press START instantly. There is the option for Practice game, which is useful if:
1) youve never played that minigame before
or
2) A lot of coins are at stake (For example, in a Duel game.)
After a few goes you begin to recognize all the minigames anyway so it is an entirely moot point. And it doesnt take anywhere near 10 minutes.
>the description and tutorial (usually after 25 minutes)
25 minutes? Are you even playing the same game buddy
>It's over. Finally, the mini-game is finished and we return to the fun, the board game. After nintendo explains to us for 5 minutes what a second turn means,
"explains what a second turn means"
This literally does not happen

You are a liar.

>>6706976
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to enjoy the Sega Saturn. The gameplay is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of computer programming most of the techniques will go over a typical gamer’s head. There’s also Sonic’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Sega Saturn truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Panzer Dragoon Saga’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated nintenyearolds scratching their heads in confusion as Nights Into Dreams’ genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Knuckles tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid
