What do you think /vr/?

Good game with two major flaws.

Inverted aiming.
No checkpoints. You die, you start over.

>> No.2445861

I used to rent it out of the video store when I had access to my older brother's N64.

I think I preferred Time to Kill on PS1 more.

I have a massive soft spot for the 3 Duke 3rd person spin offs.

great game
TOO FUCKING HARD

>Inverted aiming.

Why did every N64 game have that?

At the time I was used to it, but looking back it is a very odd choice.

I really enjoyed the game but I haven't touched it since I finished it somewhere around 2001. Maybe I should revisit it.

Because shooting people should always be like piloting apparently

Used to love Time to Kill. Got Land of the Babes recently, and it sucks shit though...

Never played Zero Hour.

Excellent game, except for some jumping moments, which just fell sluggish.

Which brings me to:

There's one place where you have to jump out of a minecart to reach a ledge, or else you fall to your death. The timing on the jump is crucial, and it's even more infuriating that the end of the level is just after that.

At least the intro cinematic is pretty decent for that time.

never beat it, but enjoyed it much. music and humor were great. and personally i liked it more than the ego perspective ones.

Not really underrated. Just about everyone who has played it likes it, though as people have noted, it has flaws that make it balls to the wall hard and at times flat-out frustrating.

Just unknown. Not all that many people who've played it.

Because using your thumb to aim an entire person is realistic anyway.

I will be criticized for saying it, but DN is a overrated franchise. It had one brilliant game, some averages and lots of terrible ones

Zero Hour was just mediocre. For some reason they wanted to make it a third person shooter, while at same time making it platform based levels.
The reverse aim never annoyed me, since like in almost all N64 games you can change that on the option, but that does not change the fact of the aim system being really off, the controls here a huge nightmare
What comes to the game itself. Without a decent aim, lots of failed jumps and a awful person-view there's nothing much to add up. Yes all the Duke jokes are here, but they don't save the levels from being repetitive and dull, or even in worse cases, Duke tells the same joke in same part of the scenario over and over again, destroying the crucial humor factor in those games

It was terrible? No. But it was mediocre, a fate worse than death for game franchises
