Depends on the version you're playing. The 64 ports of Gex are surprisingly bad, I think they just ported the PS1 geometry straight over which is a big no-no on the n64, completely chokes it and kills the framerate. Gex 2 is solid, 3 is very good although a few levels wear out their welcome. It seems some youtuber also made a saturn and croc video considering how much the zoomers on this board piss their pants over those two.

Gex's basic gameplay is solid.
But the map design is horrible.
All maps are linear and suffer from following:
Get 1st remote, which is located in first 1/3, get teleported out.
Get 2nd remote, which is located in second 1/3, get teleported out.
Get 3rd remote, which is located in third 1/3 get teleported out.
This Mario-like gameplay does not work on linear levels
and makes the game pointlessly repetitive without of any added exploration
that could be achieved on open maps.

Gex 1 is an extremely good 2d platformer, albeit a little abtuse after the first world. Gex enter the gecko is better than every N64 scotformer sans sm64. Gex 3 is also a top contender in the scotformer are a of retardation, but I will say that gex having his cheesy punchlines and quips adds just enough to make it my favorite 3d platformer. I can't decide between 2 or 3 being more fun to replay.

In the mid 90s I had P3DO (kek, almost like PTSD) while my older brother purchased PS1 for himself. And damn, when Crash Bandicoot got released it turned out to be such a fun to play as opposed to original Gex (and graphics had little to do with that).

Well, at least I could brag that I played the original NfS, Road Rash and Return Fire before they got ported to PS1 (in mere several months, fug).

prefer gex 64 to all the other rare platformers...hell I think its second place for me behind mario 64. love its levels, art design and gex's one liners. perhaps I appreciate it a lot now that I'm older and know all of gex's cinema references, but the gameplay and its variety is awesome. i guess the 64 port is bad, but I loved it anyway.

I think 'horrible' is massively overstating it. It's just not as good as Mario 64. Which is a shame, because I vastly prefer Gex's snappy handling to Mario's momentum based movement.

I've always been a SH4 enjoyer. Yes, it's different from the first 3, but I think anyone that excludes it from being included with them is retarded. I'd even go so far as to admit that it is worse than the first 3, but it's by no means a shit game that deserves being excluded.

That said, your take on SH2 is too contrarian for me. It's extremely popular and even to a degree that is fucking annoying and has negatively impacted the series as a whole, but that's only because it is actually an amazing game. Judging a game by its fanbase is a mistake in every case.

Reddit Hill 2 is worse than SH4, haters shit on 4 gameplay but turn a blind eye to the braindead mess that is Reddit Hill 2 gameplay
SH4 is a survival horror game that requires you to think and plan your strategy and what scarce items to take with you before embarking upon a journey through the hole
Reddit Hill 2 is a glorified movie game with ''walk in the park'' piss easy tier of difficulty and even worse it showers with with ammo and health items you will end up with tons of unused shit by the end of the game

>everyone hates game now
This happens all the time with many games and is a good reminder to never over hype the games you grew up with. Gex is not bad but it isn't good either it's average at best and the VA hate is a nitpick as the pal region has a different one that may be more palatable to nay sayers. And yes bitching about the voice is a common thing people parrot from their favorite e-celeb.
