afraid to play some games because of this. I always said my two favorite games of all time were Xenogears and Baldur's Gate.

Baldur's Gate still holds up extremely well. I never got into the story the first time, but playing it again, it's still window dressing compared to the fantastic one-off encounters and engaging combat. But compared to Icewind Dale 2's 3E ruleset, it's not really flexible once you pick a class.

However, with Xenogears, all I remember was the engrossing story. I don't remember too much aside from some of the major twists, but looking back, it sounds incredibly pretentious and overwrought. I still haven't replayed it in >10 years now, so I'mt not sure how I'll feel when that time comes

Wow, you're pretty alone with that opinion. I just played through 1 and 2 recently and they hold up wonderfully. 3 was always shit.

Maybe you played on an LCD without good filters. That is something that really ruins the look of them as those games heavily rely on the visual distortion created by CRT monitors.

I'd like to extend that to Mortal Kombat in general. They just weren't that great compared to Street Fighter 2's many iterations released around the same time.

The controller didn't get in the way of the games (merely limited the controls), and the graphics weren't abhorrent for most games. At least it was better than the PS1, but even though that generation had the worst graphics in general, it didn't get in the way of gameplay.

That and there are a decent number of 11/10 games for the system, so I like it.

It really wasn't though unless you are talking about the early PSX games. N64 had way worse grafix than the PSX unless you hate all forms of pixelation and actually like the smudge. That's just having bad taste though.

Also that controller was horrible to hold and to use. N64, not even once.

I didn't mind the smudge or the pixelation, but I found that I preferred graphics on the N64 overall.

The controller also was nice to hold if you hold it right. It has the retarded left 3-prong, but you just ignore it and only grab the middle and right. Then it wasn't horrible to use or hold, just it left L and the D-pad out of use.

The first Metroid. I think it's just because we might be too used to having maps in the games since Super, but it's still annoying to play.

>At least it was better than the PS1
No. This is probably the most delusional opinion you can have. Never mind the SuperFami vs Mega Drive war, as they are on equal footing, but the N64 is in the running for the worst home console, if we are to start looking from the third generation onward. Not only was the majority of games running at sub 20 frame per second, but the library was extremely small with almost non-existent third-party support. You can't possibly believe that the N64 library came even close to the PS1's. The Saturn outclassed it as well.

Stupid overhyped shit. The console would have failed if not for the brand. Nintendo always gets a free pass because they revived the industry in the west. I'm fine with giving them credit where it's due (Famicom, Super Famicom), but their home consoles have been absolute garbage, starting from the N64.

In Japan, maybe, but the Saturn's lineup was seriously gimped in the west by that fuckwad Bernie.

Cancer killing /vr/. Even worse than nostalgiafags. The last thing we need on this board are people that are afraid to say something negative about a game.

But let me guess, your comeback will be reinforcing that you either love blindly (/vr/) or hate blindly (/v/). There are many viewpoints in between. It's also up to the OP.

Not him but I seriously don't see the argument that PS1 was better for multiplayer than N64.
PS1 had very few great MP titles, mostly from naughty dog, and a lot of fighters and racers with so-so MP.
N64 had tons of MP stuff of what i'd consider above average quality.
Whereas I only recall Crash Bash as having been great fun in MP on PS1, with a lot of weird stuff we tried like Blaze and Blade.
Most of my fondest memories of N64 is of MP games whereas PS1 it's single player ones and I played a shitton of both when they were around.

Correct. I love Nintendo and its franchises but the amount of N64 apologists that are around is just astounding. People really need to come to grips with reality and realize that the N64 was a piece of shit. This delusion has gone on too long.

Man, that game was so amazing and you had to get good because the rule was, only the loser has to pass the controller unless you win ten times in a row. Good times.

I'm playing through all the recommended ps1 classics and you're fucking delusional if you think they hold up, or maybe you're just a sucker for jrpgs and lacklustre platformers. if 10-year old me could recognize the qualitative difference between stuff like crash and mario 64 then you should be able to as well
the only game I've even remotely enjoyed so far was abe's oddyssey but that's it
meanwhile I have enjoyed n64 games I never played before, stuff like perfect dark, mystical ninja, majora's mask and paper mario

as for op's topic, any jrpg basically. they're a chore to play through and my enjoyment must have had something to do with me being young, a lot of time to spare and an inability to recognize the mindless repetition. also they were better when I only understood 5% of the text

>>429131
I was blessed with a circle of friends that took their Tekken playing serious. All of them knew almost all of the moves of the characters they mained and nobody took Eddy unless it was for shits and giggles to troll somebody.

I tried to play Tekken with somebody not in my clique once and I beat him a few times in a row, in a really dominant and non fun way, just crushed him. There was an awkward silence and then we played something else.

Tekken is one of those games you have to be pretty good at to really have fun with it. It's not very accessible at all. At least not instantly because you gotta learn the moves and there's a lot of them. But that's what I love so much about the game, so many moves.

I still play my N64 regularly and find myself enjoying it's quality titles that I've never played before more than the popular PS1 titles that I've never played before.

Sure, the PS1 has a lot more of em, but I just find myself enjoying most of the best of what the N64 has to offer more than the PS1. That's really all there is to it. Sorry.

That said, I wish you guys would stop being so harsh towards N64 players. If you really don't care for the system, that's fine. But holy shit don't tell me what to like and not like. There's no "reality" when it comes to personal taste, despite what the /v/ mentality might tell you, and both game libraries are both hundreds upon hundreds of games in size, making the comparison extremely difficult and subjective unless you've somehow played every single one.

I grew up with the NES. I didn't own another home console until the PS2. I only played PS1 games on my PS2, or PC emulation years later, and I only played N64 games about 5 years after I bought a PS2 when I picked up an N64 at a flea market.

Too many people nostalgia over that game.

I got stuck on 1 spot because there was literally 0 direction, not a single townsperson said shit about where to go to be able to cross the river.

No but seriously, how were you expected to to know to walk through every forest tile to find a guy who could give you permission to go across the river? I talked to even the random townspeople in Saria and not a single one told me a hint.

How is that not shit design? I'm not saying you need a fat arrow pointing you everywhere to go, but talking to a townsperson should tell you some guidance on what to do.

IE next town, I talk to someone, he says talk to Error in Ruto to find how to get to the next palace, I go back to Ruto, and find Error's house (and people post that screenshot thinking talking to him is a bug, turns out, his name really was Error), and he says go south of King's tomb. Those are directions I can follow, because King's Tomb MUST be that tombstone all by itself. Those are directions that make sense.

Not giving any directions at all and expecting someone to walk through every tile of the world map to blindly find something that lets them progress is utter shit.

[Anonymous No.430145]

>>430130
>How is that not shit design?
It's questionable at best, but haven't there been quite a few hidden areas found in forests that you've come across at this point?

If not, that would seem kind of random, but if so it's just another element of exploration and having to 'scout' out the whole map, which was a common trait of early adventure games.
They mostly lacked direction because you were supposed to just explore until you stumbled upon where you were supposed to go next. Not exactly ideal game design, but it certainly is unique to that time period.

Usually when they want to indicate that there's something important they make that tile look different than all the others around it. That makes sense, it draws your attention to that tile to investigate. Like a single forest tile with no other forest around it, or a forest with a clear tile in the middle, that draws your attention "something is there".

This is the screenshot, can you tell which forest tile the cabin is in?

Goldeneye - I remember it being so immersive, and the multiplayer so action-packed. I tried to get back into it, but ultimately stopped. I didn't want to destroy my memories of the game.

Tomb Raider - Says it all really. The game has aged awfully in pretty much every aspect.

Majora's Mask - It was a big shock at the time because it was so radically different to Ocarina, but after playing the rest of the series, I find this thing a chore to play through (although multiple characters in a Zelda game is still something I want back). I'm not really a 'sidequest' kind of guy either and I hate Clock Town's layout.

Wario Land - its sequels outdid it, perhaps a little too much. Wario Land 1 is just a basic platformer really, the other 3 are pretty special though.

Streets of Rage/Golden Axe - Both are extremely easy now but the worst thing is, they're SO FUCKING REPETITIVE. Streets of Rage 2 is still fantastic though.

Sonic 1 - Marble Zone could have come out of any 3rd rate platformer. The two games that followed absolutely eclipsed it in every aspect. I just can't enjoy the game anymore. Final boss sucks as well.

The old Mortal Kombat games play like stiff bullshit. Most western fighting games in general.

Old 16 and 32-bit RPGs haven't aged that well in terms of story. They were different at the type, but the story's are incredibly cliched by today's standards (partly because they created those cliches), so if you go into it without the rose-tinted goggles, there's not much there.

First game is also kind of vague but everything is forgiven as it is nostalgia'd even harder.

Dragon Warrior for me, loved it as a kid, now find it a chore to play, with the world map being so small the game length is increased by grinding sessions.

From someone who got into GE in 2010, it gets so much better as you keep playing it, don't worry.
It's still a solid game, just nigh impossible to get into nowadays is all.

By specifying that Tenchu is the best non-MGS stealth game that implies that MGS is the best, which is wrong. That'd be Thief 2.

Yeah, fair enough, but for anyone to claim that any MGS is the best stealth game is kinda silly. They're good games (for the most part) but they're nowhere near the best in their genre.

Ocarina of Time.

... no, I'm really serious. I can't fucking replay that game. I've tried. The beginning is unbearably slow, filled with Navi explaining mechanics I already know and a smattering of unskippable, unspeedable cutscenes. And the terrains are all flat and featureless.
Not to mention that I just know it's going to drag on forever if I try to play through the whole thing, and especially if I try to collect everything. Seven fucking temples.
And that FUCKING OWL.

I loved it at the time and I just can't fucking stand to play it anymore.

I beat it yesterday so niggers could stop saying "oh is it 2 hard 4 u babby?" as to why I didn't like it. I beat it and I still think it's a steaming pile of shit compared to all the other zelda games. The hidden town in the forest was another sticking point, yeah there were 3 forests I had to go every single tile to look through, nothing turned up, I used the flute, and then figured out I could clear trees with the hammer and had to go through all 3 forests "east" of the ghost town again to find the town. They should have made that 1 tile look slightly different from the others so that you knew to look there, but no that'd make sense.

Puzzles and hints should be based on attention to detail, not randomly checking every single tile. Not to mention there's more bullshit annoying random encounters than any final fantasy game. I ended up having "A" lives because of experience points after I maxed out my stats. Only completely wiped once, in the beginning while I was still getting used to the combat.

It's not that it's hard that makes it not fun, it's that it's OVERLY vague in some instances and grinding doesn't fit into a Zelda game. The palaces are also all disappointing because it's nothing but combat really, there's no traps, no puzzles. Occasionally a hidden potion in a wall, that's all the secrets too.

[Anonymous No.439572]

I bought SoM on the virtual console and played it with a couple buddies, (one of them the same one that I originally played through it with), it's still a lot of fun.

I think a lot of SNES games aged well, they'd pretty much mastered sprite based 2D gameplay by the end of the NES cycle and SNES cycle. Games made 1990 generally still play very well. Like, Castlevania I and II have aged bad, but Castlevania III is still playable. Mario and the original LoZ and Zelda 2 aged, but SMB 3 and A Link to the Past are still GOOD today.

[Anonymous No.439584]

Probably Normality for me. When I was a kid replayed that game over and over and over again just because i liked the atmosphere and gameplay in it but when I tried it again two years ago it just wasn't the same. I still played through it just to remember it but it just wasn't the same.

I will admit, those analog sticks did have some interesting feedback. Felt a lot less rubbery than the standard controller.
