I was recently replaying Banjo Kazooie. It wasn't even good anymore. OoT is far, far better. I wouldn't recommend Banjo Kazooie to anyone..

[Anonymous No.522753]

Also Wipeout 64 deserves a mention.
Most games ITT are overrated shit

An amazing game, but much, MUCH better on Dreamcast and PC.

[Anonymous No.522831]

But we're not discussing FFVII or MGS here, we're discussing N64 games.

That's nice and all, but my point still stands.

[Anonymous No.522856]

>>522831

I believe his implication was that there are many more overrated PSX games than N64 ones.

[Anonymous No.522862]

>>522841
What if both many N64 games and FFVII and MGS are overrated?

[Anonymous No.522859]

>>522856
There are many more PSX games in general than the N64, so it's not exactly a surprise.

[Anonymous No.522867]

>>522862
The N64 games listed in this thread aren't as overrated as something like Ocarina of Time.

[Anonymous No.522869]

>>522867
OoT was already mentioned.

[Anonymous No.522870]

>>522859

Sure, if we're looking at absolute terms, but I mean per game.

>>522862

What if you're absolutely right?

What does that even mean
>There are many more overrated PSX games per game than N64 ones

The PSX is chock full of obscure gems, much more so than the N64. Awesome shit like Carnage Heart and Rapid Reload, there's very little good on the N64 that isn't the already oft-mentioned first party stuff. I don't know why you keep referring to the PSX though, are you implying I'm a sonygger?

To keep this thread on topic, allow me to post a popular N64 game that actually deserves its hype.

[Anonymous No.522928]

>>522893
> I don't know why you keep referring to the PSX though
>keep

The post you quoted was my first ITT, man.

>What does that even mean

What I mean is that there are far more PSX games than N64 ones and so there are bound to be more shitty PSX games than N64 ones in total; but on a game by game basis I can find no clear winner in terms of quality.

[Anonymous No.522954]

Disclaimer: Opinion

Define best? If best can be determined by fun factor I would have to say it is a toss up between Goldeneye 007 and Mario Kart 64, as those two games are still great party games I play with my cousins when I see them.

Do you even realize how much bigger the PSX library is compared to the N64? You're bound to find an actually good game somewhere in there for every single game released on N64 at all. On a "game to game basis", if one system has 100 shitty games and 20 good ones and the other has 10 shitty games and 19 good ones, the first would still come out on top.

Sage because offtopic.

[Anonymous No.522993]

>>522975
>if

That's a pretty big "if", man. IMHO, there is no clear winner in terms of absolute software quality between the PSX and the N64 if we are to look at a ratio of shitty games:good games.

[Anonymous No.523013]

>>522993
But it's not the ratio that matters, it's the absolute count of good games. You can just ignore the heaps of shitty games, but you can't just imagine good games into existence.

such an original game. has held up very well. easy for anyone to learn and pick up and play and has sky high replay value and challenge if you try and get all the platinum medals. (I've still never gotten them all). really feel like replaying it now

Turok 3 > Half Life.
Turok 3 > Turok 2.
Turok 3 > System Shock 2.

For a game which was unplayable three months before release, and thus rushed as fuck, Turok 3 is an incredible achievement. It was overshadowed by Perfect Dark and Turok 2 fans whining that the save points weren't spaced 3 hours apart anymore.

The fact it managed to have animated silhouette shadows on NPCs is incredible.

You should try various control options. But if you're unable to use your left thumb for aiming, you're pretty much screwed.

The Dreamcast is the same. Some poeple have sloppy left thumbs.

Use the 1.2 configuration with invert disabled, and just keep practicing in the firing range. Your brain will learn, trust me.

Can you do this? I hate inverted controller layouts.

Yea, sure. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark both allow you to disable invert, remove head bob if you wish, and select from a bunch of controller configurations.

Turok 1 and 2 are both inverted, but Turok 3 had a "disable invert" option added weeks from release.

Starfox 64
Bomberman 64 1 & 2

That's all I really care about. Starfox 64 is GOAT. It's hard as fuck on expert mode (well, I play in first-person mode) and has awesome level design with lots of different obstacles and enemies.

There are some others I haven't played but am interested in like F-Zero and Snowboard Kids.

The N64 sucks, unless you like Zelda and 3D platformers. But Zelda is way too easy with simplistic enemy designs and 3D platforming is the worse genre ever in terms of its library due to an utter lack of challenge. Except Super Mario 64 which is okay.

Smash Bros. is good too but is obsolete since Melee came out.

I won't deny that the Playstation has a better library but lets face it, at least it was better than the saturn

>>529167
I need to replay Hero to see how I feel about it. Last time I didn't stick with it very far and got bored.

>>529172
I have no idea how Ogre Battle plays but as for Paper Mario, JRPGs are decent at best. You have very few tactical options in them. And don't the Mario RPGs have timed button presses for more damage or something? That's watering down the tactical aspect to emphasis the most simplistic action mechanic ever.
