Anyone else never could get into these zoomer games?

It's an age thing. I was like 16 when mario 64 came out, and was too busy snapping necks in MGS and shooting zombies in RE to pay mario any heed.
To some, my taste is worse. So make of it what you will.

Except 3d collecting platformers were released during the late 90s/early 2000s and are boomer games too frustrating for babies. Nice try zoomer.

The one good thing to come out of Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts is that troll paragraph talking about how one certain jiggie in Rusty Bucket Bay was too hard for most modern gamers. Wish I could find that screenshot of it again.

I enjoyed games like stuart little and toy story 2 on the PSX but I couldn't care less about collecting, I just had fun exploring the levels. I always collected the bare minimum in order to unlock the next area

Old 3d collectathlon were essentially open world games done right: not needlessly huge empty wastelands filled with randomly copy-pasted assets, but fun sandboxes based on ACTUAL level design.
It's a shame it's basically a dead genre now.

Probably the only genre I genuinely don't get the appeal of. 2D platformers are cool, 3D platformers are fun, collectathons were always boring tripe.

>> No.5732690

Personally I think it's because society was concerned about violent video games in the 90's and 00's and kids didn't play "mature" games as often as they do now like with CoD, so it was the go-to kid friendly genre all parents bought for their kids. Basically an artificially popularized genre due to societal situations that won't happen again

>>5732459
I feel the same way. I can play 2D platformers all day, especially the action oriented ones, but give me a collectathon and I'm ready to blow my brains out

>content that you download from a satellite isn't DLC because it has a timer attached to it
You weren't streaming the data linearly, anon, you literally downloaded the entire game and then played it for a set period. No video signals (aside from the audio stuff) was "streamed" in the same sense we use nowadays.

Did your dad molest you when playing collectathons or something?

Pretty much every normal unbiased person likes Super Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie. The designers themselves stated that the reason these games became a lot less prominent is it is hard to come up with ideas for the collectibles and easier to shit out a new CoD game or similar.

Kids back then had every mature game like they do now - do you really think they couldn't get Duke Nukem, Quake, Mortal Kombat and Goldeneye? I suppose that's something to imagine for a zoomer but it's complete bs and putting it forward as a reason why collectathons were popular is stupid in many ways.

>everyone should like them because normalfags like them
I like SM64 because the controls themself are super fun, but I don't get the appeal of Banjo Kazooie or DK64 from a gameplay standpoint. I've never liked them even when I was a kid. They always have felt like eurojank timesinks honestly. I'd much rather play something like Mischief Makers or SMW then the average collectathon.

>>5732724
I don't even really consider SM64 to be a collectathon, honestly. It has much more focused design as a course-based 3D platformer and actually has very little in common with the gameplay styles of Banjo-Kazooie and DK64.
