Honestly, how in the fuck anyone actually defend this steaming pile of shit?

>every "big" game is either an autistic turn-based JRPG with SNES-era gameplay, shitty 3D action game with tank controls, or some kind of shitty wannabe mascot platformer
>unforgivably eye-bleeding graphics with no AA, no perspective correction, diarrhea textures, muted colors, jaggies and shit framerate
>midget-sized controller with an awful design saved only by its two analog sticks... which are supported by almost no games
>only 2 fucking controller ports
>abysmal loading times
>nursing home grey body color accented by gaudy neon buttons

It seriously baffles me how anyone could call the N64 a shitty console and then defend this dried cumwad of a machine. I mean holy shit, what a terrible system. I truly feel bad for anyone who grew up with this thing and has deluded themselves into believing that the N64 didn't have a metric fuckton of awesome games.

You can proceed to talk about how "mad" I am or whatever, I don't even care. I just feel bad for you and your shitty childhood. God damn.

Because it was fun. Nothing wrong with JRPGs, tank controls not unique to PS1, platformers were mediocre I'll give you that, 3D didn't look great on any console, controller size is fine if you're under 400lb, 2 controller ports is still standard, console aesthetics are personal preference

And what was the console of your childhood? Or could your family not afford any?

Lmao, this is why I can't take the opinion of a clown like you seriously. This comment is a clear window into the mind of someone suffering from a spectrum disorder. So you enjoy playing games where you walk 10 steps, run into an invisible monster, and repeat this process several hundred times just to get from one town to another? That's fun gameplay to you?

It's wrong when they suck, like 99% of those found on the PS1.

Funny, the N64 looked pretty great for the time, and some games still look fine today.
>2 controller ports is still standard
Lmao what? There hasn't been a single console with only 2 controller ports since the PS2. Every single console made since has been able to connect 4 controllers out of the box.
>And what was the console of your childhood? Or could your family not afford any?
I guess your 3rd grade reading comprehension wasn't enough to clue you in to the fact that I prefer the N64? Ironically though, I actually had both, which is why I'm adequately prepared to say how shit the PS1 is. It gathered dust for years, meanwhile I still pop out the N64 to this very day... because it had good games.

best controller, every modern controller has been based on it more or less, the dual analog has remained practically unchanged for 4 generations of gaming systems. it's an undeniable influence.
most powerful console of it's time, undeniable.
don't like jrpg's? you're entitled to your taste, there's tons of platformers, both 2d and 3d that still hold up really well. tons of action adventure games that still hold up. dozens of fighters that are still great fun. tons of puzzle games and strategy games that are still great fun.

You just keep avoiding the topic. I don't give a fuck if little Jeremy calls my old N64 stupid. If he did, little Jeremy would be a fucking retard because he would be arguing that solid games are not solid simply because they aren't like his new games. That's not what I'm doing. I'm arguing that the games you like are shit because they are fundamentally flawed from a gameplay design perspective. If I play Super Mario 64, do I run in to invisible goombas every 10 feet? No? Oh right, because that would be fucking retarded. You have no argument, you're a salty old autist who just likes "the way things used to be" and you can't just admit that you're being retarded.

This is sooo fucking retarded. The fact PS1 got more PC ports has literally nothing to do with how powerful it was. It got PC ports because it was the most popular console you idiot.

Absolutely wrong on both accounts. The dualshock controllers have always been garbage for anyone who doesn't have manlet hands, and most modern controller are based on the sega saturn and dreamcast controllers.

>most powerful console of it's time, undeniable.

Objectively false. The only advantage the PS1 had was its ease of programability and CD format allowing for larger sized games.

The PS1 had so many games because it was easy to program, and Sony had a very open-door policy to game development, mostly since they were a general purpose consumer electronics company and not video game specialists like Nintendo.

What I mean by this is that Nintendo and Sega had a very specific image and target market, while Sony did not and just appealed to a general audience. This led to Nintendo and Sega only wanting to license games that fit their marketing images (Nintendo being more family/kid friendly and Sega having more of a jock/dudebro image). Also neither company were helpful to devs about programming, while Sony had a hotline that programmers could call if they needed help with something.
