/vr/ - Retro Games

I should check how many N64 BAD threads are on this board right now.

>>6759661
N64 fags are just paying the price for decades of overhyping their excuse of a console

>>6759653
What? It's been almost 30 years man, just enjoy playing some video games.

It's really sad that people still think it's worth having console war arguments, like they really haven't progressed in twenty years from grade school fights about consumer products.

>>6759673
tactical nihilism

>>6759671
lmao

>>6759675
fence sitting faggot

>>6759661
like 6 or 7 threads i believe.

i love n64 its so good lol

>>6759653
I would really prefer if you would be quiet.

>>6759680
Do you have similarly strong opinions about Pogs or what the best Pokémon is

>>6759692
I prefer to talk about the irony that the Metroid Company didn't make a Metroid while their competitors went ham on it.

>>6759706
Why would they have made one? The series had declining sales, pretty much every other Nintendo IP sold better. Hell, Symphony of the Night still sold less than Super Metroid, had 1.27 million total copies sold worldwide. That's not exactly a pie that Nintendo was itching to get a piece of. I know history makes this out to be a critically acclaimed genre and what a no-brainer it would be to make a Metroidvania game but back then, these weren't hits that demanded new releases, Nintendo wasn't stupid not to release a poorly selling Metroid game.

>another one of "those" threads

>>6759653
Jet Force Gemini was kind of Metroid like.

>>6759653
>>ps1 gets so many people coin a genre name for them

It got one

>>6759750
It sold good on emulators

>>6759653
>n64 doesn't get any good RPG
>ps1 gets plenty of them

>>n64 doesn't get any good shmup (only 1 and it's mediocre at best)
>ps1 gets plenty of them

>n64 gets one (1) 2D platformer
>ps1 gets plenty of them

>n64 doesn't get any good fighting game
>ps1 gets plenty of them

PS1 was the true SNES2

>>6759653
God bless you king

>>6760176
>b-but muh mascot platformers

Oh wait, PSX had top tier ones too

>>6760176
>PSX doesn't get any good FPS
>N64 gets plenty of them

>>6760189
>console FPS
>relevant

>>6759653
Is there where idiots try to convince people that Croc and Spyro were "Killer Apps" for the PlayStation?

>>6760194
They're trying to convince themselves. Can't get over the fact mommy wouldn't buy them the real console.

>>6760176
>n64 controller adds a thumbstick, two more face buttons, and three grips, relegating the d-pad to the third grip in the ass-end of nowhere where it hardly gets used
>ps1 improves on the snes controller by simply adding extra shoulder buttons and grips for comfort, then later adds sticks that are optional in almost every game

>>6759675
Console war debates can be fun if the arguments go beyond anons calling each other nintoddlers and sonyggers.

>>6760189
Medal of Honor is probably the best gen 5 FPS, with Turok coming in close behind it. On original hardware, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark are, by contemporary standards, unplayable. On the flip side, if you play them on PC with that special 1964 fork at 60fps with M/KB, they're fantastic, and it really shows how much they were let down by the N64's weak hardware.

>>6760193
Rare brought complex mission objectives to the genre with Goldeneye. Looking Glass specifically cited that mission structure as inspiration for Thief, so I'd say that's incredibly relevant to PC FPS fans.

>>6760194
Spyro (1 only) was great, but it didn't hold a candle to SM64 or BK, and I didn't know a single person who owned Croc. The big PS1 killer apps were FF7 and Tekken 3 in my opinion.

>>6759692
but he still isn't correct

>>6760217
Turok was shit compared to mid 90’s build engine games on PC

>>6760239
I disagree, but the comparison is between n64 and ps1 games.

>>6760239
Turok is true 3d, build is fake 3d. That makes Turok objectively better, and more honest game.

The more you post about it, the more I'll love the based N64

>>6759653
They were trying to make the perfect game, Metroid Prime (games), of which is why it took them so long to put out Metroid to the point it skipped a generation.

>>6760176
>shmup
>console warring retard

Ban all sony users.

If age appropriate hands created the OP, I weep for the future.

>>6760254
>shitty 3D game is better than good 2D game
the absolute state of n64 fanboys

This is false flagging to get Gen V off the board, yes?

>>6759703
No but this isn't the dedicated pog or Pokemon hobby board

>>6760239
People are seriously trying to claim that Turok, Spyro and fucking Croc are somekind of underappreciated masterpieces?
/vr/ is full of lunatics.

>>6760493
Hot take: There aren't any underappreciated masterpieces. Every great game is appreciated.

>>6760320
>trip fag
>shmups aren't god-tier videogames
>stating facts is console warring

neck yourself you complete waste of oxygen

>>6760189
Disruptor is good
the various Doom episodes are good
Medak of Honor is good
Total Meltdown is good
Alien trilogy is good
should I go on?

btw learn to read dumbass, I said SNES 2 therefore specifically listed genres that were kings during SNES era.

>>6760216
this. let me add one.

>n64 games are all blurry gouraud shading messes
>ps1 2D library is plentyful and peak pixel artsy 240p RGB pr0n

yep, the true SNES2.

>Implying that the ones starting this threads aren't still in grade school
