/vr/ - Retro Games

If you're into furry porn.

The game's a fucking marvel for the N64. Graphics, somewhat tight control, and the direction Rare took instead of what Conker used to be, makes this game good, for me anyway...

Makes me wonder how the devs fit all those voice lines in that cartridge. It was 128MB if I remember, which actually seems about right.

Didn't sell that great (adult rating, timing of release) so there isn't a ton of them floating around. And yes, it's a good game.

>>849201
It always bothered me that this game didnt need the expansion pak but DK64 did.

>>849208
DK64 only needed the expansion pack because it had a bug but if you used the expansion pack it would fix it.

is it even worth the price at this point?

bought this masterpiece for $5 online 5 years ago. How the fuck did it rise so quickly? on an other note. did anyone buy the Xbox remake?

You can blame the Game Grumps for that.

>>849201
No, it was 64MB. The biggest available N64 cartridge.

The game has slightly over 2 hours of voice acting in it. I dunno how much of the cartridge was used for this purpose.

Technologically, the game is peerless.

Shut up, it was expensive before that. The Game Grumps may suck and raise the price of retro games, but that doesn't mean you can blame them for all of your problems.

>>849185

>Why does this game cost close to 100$?

Cause that's the price I paid for it at launch in Australia motherfucker. It's only fair.

>>849246
>The game grumps may suck

It's a bit of a mess of game design, but I'd say it's worth playing through at least once.

>>849250
they do suck now that jon is gone

accept the truth

>>849185

Yes, it is an excellent game, the single player game is outstanding gameplay with excellent story and presentation as well and the multiplayer is hours upon hours of great times with your friends, even though I prefer the AKI wrestling games it is easily in the argument for best game on the system

I don't know why it would cost $100 dollars though, I haven't collected games in over a decade, I often think y'all are joking when discussing prices of games nowadays

100 bucks seems pretty steep. I got mine a month or two ago for 60, and that's generally what I see it going for

N64 games are expensive because they weren't produced in HUGE quantities. Also, I wonder if the practice of cannabilising carts for the chips to make flash carts has caused some effects?

>You can win against Superman 64 by making it into a flash cart and loading the superior Superman 64 beta onto it.

>>849263
Yeah

It's funny, my buddy at work was just talking about CBFD today, claiming he couldn't find it for less than $200.

Some of the devs are doing a directors' commentary on Youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFP9r6vJL2qCCERMBP_ZWUEV0vaSL4rHf

Has lots of insight and plenty of British humour, i.e. lot's of getting drunk, giving each other horrible nicknames and calling people cunts.

Lot of good stuff in there, particularly about attention to detail, like making sure Conker had a pushing against a wall animation, giving him water wings to explain him not being able to dive underwater, anti-gravity chocolate(hence it floating), all kinds of stuff about giving this crazy cartoon world internal consistency.

Also, just looked at the prices for this on britbong eBay, £40 for just the cart, £200 for the complete package. Jesus wept, what a bunch of cunts. What's a better solution, getting an N64 flashcart or trying to plug this into an emulator on the Wii?

>>849185
>Why does this game cost close to 100$?
Hipsters, and it's uncommon since it was made near the end of the N64 life cycle. Also everyone wants it.

>Is it even a good game?
MOST of the humor stands up even till today. The gameplay is also really solid. And the graphics + OST are great as well.

BOTTOM LINE TITTY FLOWERS

Even the really popular games like SSB and Major's Mask go for around $40. Hell, OoT sells for $30 according to Amazon.

>>849427
>according to Amazon.
Ebay and gameprices are more reliable sources.

>>849234
Chris Seavor said in one of the CBFD let's plays that there were over 2,000 animations made just for Conker's model alone

It's good, OP, but not 100 good. Maybe 40-50 good. Just wait till you see a good deal.

>>849501
you can say whatever the fuck you want after a game has been released for years but unless there is actual concrete proof it's just bullshit.

fyi rare also said goldeneye models originally had sexual organs and fingernails in an interview with pc gamer.

>>849532
But they did have fingernails, and if you shot the guards in the dick they would react accordingly.

>>849532
Well that's of course taking into account the hand animations as well considering that they were completely separate models that were daisy-chained onto Conker

>>849229
i never bought xbox games but i did play through it. while still fun, it's definitely the lesser version.

the controls and camera were changed somewhat, which threw me off a bit but it's not too bad. microsoft made them censor a lot more lines than the original though which really does get real annoying, and the various original multiplayer modes were all thrown out and replaced with a shitty 3rd person team fortress clone. not cool

>>849263
Tyson's Punch Out episode 2 is hilarious.

>>849231
Game Grumps never even played Conker.

They were going to, but apparently they abandoned the idea mid-production because Ego thought it sucked and Jon got into an argument about it.

This was way back when they were starting

>>849323
UK prices of this are even more insane you're right. Absolutely no reason why it's what expensive, never seen it as low as £40 before though, normally £70 at least. It's doubled price in the last year alone
http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Conkers-Bad-Fur-Day-N64/product/B00005ARV7?context=browse

Doesn't work on the Wii, no Rare game does for some reason.

I bought it new when it came out...

I'll throw mine on ebay this weekend and see how it goes. The bubble will crash sooner than later.

>>849262

$64.70 for a loose cart

>>849185
It's probably the best platformer on the n64.

CBFD invented the contextual button that is used in many games today
it was great when it was released
and its great now

>>849212
According to the devs DK64 was supposed to work on both, but the 4mb version had a lockup bug that they just couldn't pin down, and they were so close to the release time that they just shipped it with the expansion pack included.

>>851274
um, a ton of other games used to have context sensitive "use" buttons way before CBFD. Think of practically every Doom Clone where you could do more than just open doors with the spacebar. Duke Nukem 3d for example.

>>851274
Even if that was true, I'm pretty fucking sure nobody ever expressed excitement about Conker because of its "contextual use button"

Biggest problem with Conker is that it's humor is dated as fuck.

>dat matrix reference

>>849185
>Is it even a good game?
no, but people that haven't metally aged since they were 12 think it is because of the "mature" humor (read gross out and bathroom humor)

it's mostly only notable for being somewhat offensive in a time where there weren't many offensive games

Wow, it's pretty cool that CBFD has an LP with the directors doing it. Are they any other LP's from actual game devs out there?

>>851358
Ratchet and clank

>>849501
>Hey look the butterflies move out of the way when you move towards them
>our game was next gen before next gen even existed
Brilliant.

>>851356
And the depressing ending.

>>851380
>depressing endings instantly make games good
I really hate this mentality, I see it all over the place

>mfw I own 2 copies

>>851430
No, I said it was NOTABLE because of the depressing ending. Not that the ending made it good.

That kind of ending isn't expected from a 3d platformer about cartoon animals. The fact that it surprised a lot of players made it stick out in peoples' minds, and thus made it more notable.

>>851435
I own an xbox copy (No manual), lost my cart of the N64 version

>>851435
>mfw the little shits from up the road borrowed my copy and then moved across the country...

>>849185
It's a shitty furry game with a storyline only a 13 year-old could have come up with.

Just ordered a N64 flash cart so I'll finally be able to play you Conker's :3

>>851435
Leave your trip at the door ten snacks.

>>851729

>Telling someone else to stop doing something

>>851757
If you ever went on /sp/ you would understand.

>>851435
Sell a copy and make a quick buck.

>>849263
>Jon is gone
Thank fucking god, now he'll go back to making his own videos without that dumbass egoraptor.

>>850869
>Ego thought it sucked
Just when I thought I couldn't like that douche any less......

People who say Conker's writing hasn't aged well just don't get it. The game is an absurdist post modern masterpiece, making fun of so many gaming conventions. People who get hung up on the "It has shit jokes must be for 12 year olds" are really stupid.

>>849185
I'd guess it'ss expensive because it's rare. I don't really care for it. Got it at a yard sale for a couple bucks. Just found out it is rare.

>>853184
It's not rare. People over-pricing things doesn't make something rare.

>>853203
What about old, un-opened cans of Surge or Pepsi Blue

>>853203
It's not even that rare.

It is by Rare, however. lolSemantics

>>851435
I bought the Xbox version for about $15 around 4 years ago

>mfw its basically more than tripled in price

>>853363
xDD holy shit upvote for visibility this deserves top comment

>>853358
I've seen second-hand markets for soda, and I just don't get it. I mean, just because I have an unopened bottle of Canadian Coke Blak in my fridge doesn't mean it's worth anything.

On-topic, the main reason games are valuable is because not many copies exist, usually due to low print run or (in extremely special cases) the item only being a giveaway or similar item.

The second reason is simply because of known quality. Games like Mario 64 will sometimes sell for much more than its worth, simply because it's a good game. Forget that there are literally millions of carts for it.

>>853374
Please fuck off /v/


Also this game is charming and pretty fun op. A friend of mine has it as his goal to find it in the wild someday, probably won't happen though.

It's a pretty good game, it's really just legendary for it's since of humor though.
Would never pay 100$ for it, most expensive copy I've seen IRL is 30$.

>>849185

Well, it is ironically a lot more uncensored than the Xbox remake.

Both are neat but the N64 one has a certain charm to it

>>849751
couldn't disagree more.
didn't laugh once.

>>851273
Better than mischief makers?

>MFW I bought this game for £5 at a retro game stall 2 years ago

>>849751
Danny is too competent for Game Grumps. I am of the opinion that, while being Naughty Bear-level incompetent is very bad and they should be making some progress and not completely goofing around the whole ten minutes, they shouldn't just breeze through the game. They need to get frustrated to be Grumps.

I don't think Danny is automatically a terribad Grump yet, since he's mentioned that the games they've played so far are two of the five or so games he's good at and he hasn't played any bad games yet, but it's not the best start.

>>853203
Yes it does so. With a little over 100 copies for sell, it is kinda rare.

Wow I had no idea this game would be worth so much now.

Where is the best place to sell older games?

Watch this by the creator.

Because the game was hyped for like 4 years. First it was a kiddie game, then got rebranded to be bad fur day. I was young when diddy kong racing came out, excited when conker got announced, and I was in middle school jacking off by the time bad fur day finally came out. All these prices people don't understand come from rarity+(nostalgia X contemporary hype)

katana kills in multiplayer, headshots in multiplayer, also the only game to accurately represent scenes from the matrix and saving private ryan until path of neo and cod respectively

The multiplayer is fucking fantastic in my opinion.
I was the asshole who would go and spam throwing knife or katana.

I was the guy who would kick your ass in the game until you finally flipped out and punched in the balls.

The XBox version is also worth checking out, however the multiplayer is completely different (still worth looking at).

>>851356
this. I only ever saw Duke Nukem played once. Bad Fur Day is basically just Duke if he was a squirrel on a console.

>duke nukem furrever

Has anyone else had trouble with emulating this game?

I'd heard it was alright, but the rom I have always crashes in the barn.

>>859937

N64 emulation is a clusterfuck. The N64 itself is very complicated, and we have had N64 emulation devs who are scattered and poorly organized. N64 emulation is having a rennaisance though.

http://emulation-general.wikia.com/wiki/Recommended_N64_Plugins

Try that though. Or Mupen64Plus.

Cheers buddy.
