Over rated consoles

[Anonymous No.5836760]

Which retro consoles were the most over-rated then and now?

I'll start.

[Anonymous No.5836762]

All consoles will be over and underrated. No one can meaningfully discuss the merits of any of them objectively detached from personal bias.

[Anonymous No.5836765]

>>5836760
I don't think anything was really overrated at the time until Microsoft came along, unless you mean briefly before and at release when shit like the 3DO and Jaguar were overrated and some unfortunate bastards were tricked into buying one.

Now, maybe TG16, maybe.

Retro gaming is fueled by irrational nostalgia where we remember old games being way better than they actually were 98% of the time.

Almost every single person in this thread failed to notice the most basic fact about OP's image: That title isn't on N64 to begin with. I don't know about you, but I'm convinced this is conclusive evidence that over 90% of /vr/ doesn't know jack shit about retro games, and I'm being generous about the remaining 10%. Between the retards defending FPGAs as some perfect magical blackbox that aren't emulators, the CRT obsessed and the LCD imbeciles, this is a true cesspool of ignorance, negativity and hypocrisy. How are you any better than the idiots at resetera, assembler, or any other retro forum of any kind?

I'm leaving, this is just too much. I invite others to do the same. Let's just stop wasting our collective time here. It ain't infinite. Feel free to call me names; I won't be here to read you.

To babbage's tripfag: Are you reading this? Go home and be a family man. You know tripfagging is an incredible waste of your life.

To the rest of the weebs, wizards and disgusting nerds: 3D women are better than 2D waifus, you just need to give them a chance.

I hope you can find the exit to leave here soon.

"3 hand alien" memes aside, at least N64 got 6 face buttons and a normal d-pad. I appreciate that.
Anyway, console warring for 5th gen is embarrassing so I'll just leave it at: 5th gen sucks.

You only need a handful of great games for a console to be worth it. The PS1's huge library of great games meant nothing to the average player beyond the fact that the few games THEY wanted were available.

Of course tard anon had an RGB mod and/or deblur mod in 1996.
>Controller was an abomination.
Tard anon definitely imported a Hori Mini from Japan as soon as they were available or walked over to 2019 and picked up a steel stick.
>Games where more expensive.
Where... where more expensive. Good point, drooling retard. Relevant to today. And read a book--maybe start with The Very Hungry Caterpillar, or Everybody Poops.

>Overrated: NES, SNES, Dreamcast
Dreamcast makes sense (cool-looking console with a lot of good games considering its lifespan, but its reputation is ridiculous), and maybe SNES (one of the best, but is sometimes talked about like it's the only classic console worth owning); NES? No way. Underrated if anything. Possibly the best library of action games on any console, yet it's not uncommon to see something like "games didn't become playable until the 16-bit gen".

N64 is definitely overrated these days. Everyone and their mom along with trash e-celebs will try to convince you it was the pinnacle of gaming. But it barely had games truly worth playing and out of those, barely any of them managed to run above 20FPS, let alone at a consistent rate
PS1 feels overrated by very specific nostalgiafags but underrated as complete trash by a lot of people, despite the expansive and quality library
But none of this matters because this stuff works in cycles and the vast majority of "gamers" will shit on a console and everything related to it, the minute its successor is announced or rumors of its release start cropping up
Also Tenchu was never released on N64 you fucking OP niggerfaggot
