What was your favorite game from this generation?

[Anonymous No.3618165]

I have so much N64 nostalgia, but the PS1 was objectively better. That being said, I would be more excited to go play an N64 than a PS1.

[Anonymous No.3618170]

>>3618162
RE2. Probably my GOAT game. Luckily it's on both N64 and PS1 too.

[Anonymous No.3618184]

Either Perfect Dark for N64 or Thrasher:Skate and Destroy for PS

Most of the classics I had/played on other systems

[Anonymous No.3618190]

This. I recognize that the PS1 was much better "bang for your buck" so to speak, in terms of third party, variety, affordability and accessibility. That said, my all-time favorite games were on the N64, and especially for the multiplayer experience, it's the system I always gravitate towards.

>>3618226
I want to say this, but damn, Majora's Mask was based. Ocarina is a near-perfect adventure game with practically zero filler and nice casual difficulty level for comfy replay factor. Majora's Mask is a bit harder and a bit more tedious in some of its mechanics, but it certainly makes up for it with its extremely unique concept and atmosphere. I'll say it's a tie for me.

Pic related is pretty high on my list. As much as Smash Bros/Mario Kart/Goldeneye seemed to make up the N64 multiplayer trifecta back in the day, my friends and I played a ton of this. So damn fun.

>Objectively

It had far more games and cd audio. What did it have otherwise?

Graphics were worse (factually speaking, lower res, lower fps and older tech)

[Anonymous No.3619908]

>Graphics were worse (factually speaking, lower res, lower fps and older tech)
It had far more 60fps games than the N64 and some games even had a high res mode like the 64, toward the end of it's life.
>Far lower specs.
And yet put out more polygons than the competition, despite those specs. Besides, the SNES had shit hardware yet devs squeezed amazing games out of it.
>Loading times sucked.
Aye, 1x CD sucked ass.
>Controller needed to be remade.
Indeed, but that controller became the basis for all modern controllers. Even Nintendo copied the dual analog sticks.
>Niggers could afford it.
>Marketed at niggers.
Non-arguments. And wasn't the N64 $100 cheaper?

[Anonymous No.3619961]

>>3619217
what do you mean "marketed at niggers?" is that just some blanket term for people you don't like, or do you mean actual black people?

and the Playstation controller is pretty much the de facto controller, these days. even the Switch has the same dual control sticks, triggers, four buttons, and a D pad

[Anonymous No.3619981]

Tough call. Valkyrie Profile, Star Ocean 2, and Parasite Eve 2 are the ones I find myself revisiting most frequently.

PS1 simply had more games in technically undemanding genres that lend themselves to 60fps like fighting games.

Also PS1 "high res" mode is 512x224 while on N64 the high res mode is usually 512x448 or something crazy like that.

Yeah I really love MM, Ocarina just left an enormous impression on me and it was the most memorable gameplay experience of my life.

At the time: PSX by a mile
Now: Saturn

I don't know why, but Saturn games have aged a whole hell of a lot better than PSX/N64 to me

[Anonymous No.3621548]

Favorite game: Ridge Racer Type 4

It was just so good at everything and even came with that really cool 60fps original ridge racer.

The original Ridge Racer (and to a lesser extent, Ridge Racer revolution - I didn't get into Rage Racer) was what sold me on buying a ps1 in 1996. I remember playing Stunt Race FX on SNES right before getting the ps1 and Ridge Racer. Such a huge change.

I agree with you and what you said also sort of applies for SNES vs Genesis for me. I have probably more nostalgia for Genesis since I could swear I played more Genesis as a kid than SNES. Now that I played a ton of both on emulators I would probably say SNES is better. However today I would definitely be more excited to play SNES now.

I miss when consoles had a lot more uniqueness unlike today where most consoles are pretty much the same with very few worthwhile exclusives. Genesis was so different from SNES. Just like Saturn, N64 and PS1 were so different from each other despite them having some shared games.

[Anonymous No.3626410]

probably something for the saturn like Panzer Dragoon, love the soundtrack

[Anonymous No.3626502]

>>3626009
Just because arcades use FM doesn't mean everything should. Some things sound better on different syntheses.

[Anonymous No.3626602]

I dunno. Probably Majora's Mask.

The game was presented as this kind of Brother's Grimm fairy tale type thing where it's both a children's bedtime story and tale about dying friendships and occasionally dying friends/loved ones.

The gameplay felt more varied than other adventure games of the generation.

To be honest, I can't stand most fifth gen games anymore. MM is one of the few I can still pick up and consider playable.

The first game I remember playing, it's been my favourite ever since.

I've still got original posters, guide books and a sealed copy

[Anonymous No.3629293]

PC, because I was a graphics whore bacvk in the day but if I had to choose between the three It was N64. It had enough of my favorite games (RE2, Golden eye, Megaman, Zelda, QUAKE, DOOM) and got one for almost free in a bundle of other consoles from a bro.

PSX resolution was a major sticking point for me, I would often get disoriented in GT2 when cresting hills because I couldn't see which way the road went.

I eventually fell in love with the PSX library but only at higher resolution through emulators

PlayStation easy. The library is crazy compared to Saturn and N64.

If you import/emulate, PS has lots of 'Saturn/Sega like' games that are Japan only. To me it's almost perfect.

I didn't say it should exclusively be FM. But having FM support would've helped in certain cases, like Thunder Spirits or BlaZeon, where it has to use PCM samples of FM which sound worse than arcade or even the Mega Drive.

This is a tough call. My top 5 would be Parasite Eve, Resident Evil, Fear Effect, Galerians and Metal Gear Solid. Picking one of those is too tough.

I'd probably have to go with Resident Evil based on how many times I used to replay it. Though, I don't really care much for games like that anymore. As I've gotten older I've lost my attention span and patience. I pretty much just want to shoot things in the face and if I can't immediately do that, then I lose interest.

The more saturn I play, the more I question why anyone gives a shit about Sony or Nintendo's libraries during the 5th gen. Everyone says the PS1 has a massive library, but you never see anyone list anything more than multiplats or JRPGs. The Saturn's library wipes the floor with its best games, and the N64? Apart from a handful of innovative titles, and a handful of rare games, there really wasn't anything worth writing home about.

Cotton 2 Boomerang and Twinkle Star Sprites may be some of the best games of the generation.

[Anonymous No.3631825]

>>3631820
open to be proven wrong. PS1 has hundreds of games worth playing, although I only ever see the same 30 or so mentioned. Saturn absolutely has about 150 great games worth playing, despite an objectively smaller library than the PS1.

N64 doesn't really register because there's really maybe about 40 games worth playing on it.

[Anonymous No.3631831]

>>3631825
I love the Saturn, but 150 GREAT games? I dunno.

Anyway I don't need to prove you wrong, it's your taste and that's fine. I just think saying Saturn is amazing and then shitting on the other 2 is a bit fanboyish.
All 3 consoles offered good stuff. Nowadays I play more Saturn and N64 than PlayStation though.

[Anonymous No.3631860]

>>3631831
absolutely 150 great games. I'm not shitting on the other two, I'm saying their libraries aren't as interesting. N64 especially, which has a small concentration of absolutely brilliant games but few titles to really fill in the gaps.

N64 is my personal favorite since i grew up on games such as Mario kart 64, Donkey kong 64, Waverace 64, Diddy kong racing and NHL 99 for it but objectively the Playstation is better.


The Playstation has a greater selection of third party games and could hold more data therefore providing cheaper games on the market instead of the 50 to 110 dollars for the N64 games.


So in the end Playstation wins however N64 provides a higher level of nostaga value and the Saturn sucks ass.

[Anonymous No.3632142]

>>3631831
>fanboyish
Nintendo and Sony went for the new gamer market (people that didn't like games before) and geared most games directly to them. Sega continued to cater to the same gamers as before. The influx of hipster nugamers that liked style-over-substance shit that the N64 and PS1 was the beginning of the downfall of gaming.

Without Sony wedging its big floppy, smelly, ugly dick into gaming, Sega would have dominated, Nintendo wouldn't have forced 3d on its titles to compete, and modern gaming wouldn't be shit.
