This was a great thread I originally made months ago, always works to remind them of the truth. I don't do my bait on /vr/ however. This doesn't mean the N64 isn't irredeemable shit, it's literally one of the worst consoles of all time, but I prefer to keep it to /v/.

Based. It's somehow nice to always have these threads of people seething for systems they don't own, actually gives a certain extra to playing on original hardware, call it schadenfreude I guess.

It's good to have a goal in your communications, keeps you on point & focused. I think this is a basic principle of writing even, if you don't have principles and end goals in mind, what are you doing exactly?

Personally I focus on things I'm interested in or enjoy to some degree. Bumping this thread because it's nice seeing the N64 on the catalog, even if OP's text is pure /v/ turds.

Here's the thing with your anti-N64 bait: most of your points are that there is "Almost" no games in X genres, or there is no "Good" games in X genres. So that's already kind of a sketchy argument. You're nobody to claim what game is good or not, and if there is "almost" no game in X genre, then it means there's at least some, many of which anti-N64 guys prefer to ignore completely and echo-chamber their "mario, zelda, list goes on" chantings.
It's OK if you want to hate the N64, I mean, do your thing I guess, as I said I won't stop you from giving attention to something you don't like. Just remember that liking the N64 doesn't mean someone is a "fanatic". I grew up with all 3 5th gen systems (and before that, SNES, Genesis and PC), I don't have console war culture ingrained in my brain, I see it differently.

>So that's already kind of a sketchy argument
I disagree, highlighting deficiencies is essential. People like those games, and when they realize that those games existed elsewhere, all the sudden it's a revelation.
>You're nobody to claim what game is good or not
Of course not, that's why you bring in facts, demonstrations and evidence to support critiques. You mention tons of key factors which concern a broad number of people, even if they may not be your biggest issues. People then chime in with their own concerns or experiences.
>then it means there's at least some
Yes, it's a great focus point.
>many of which anti-N64 guys prefer to ignore completely
That's why I'm honest with my criticism. I say "almost" because I know better. I know what's there.
>Just remember that liking the N64 doesn't mean someone is a "fanatic".
Of course not, but I find more often than not it's the fanatics that are the greatest examples. There's a lot of them to pick from.
>I don't have console war culture ingrained in my brain, I see it differently.
I've even said time and time again, I like the N64. I just see it for what it is in the grand scheme of things. Plus it's a lot of fun and I don't see a point in denying myself the fun when others go far harder with it than I do.

>People like those games, and when they realize that those games existed elsewhere, all the sudden it's a revelation.
This is you again imagining that everyone only owned 1 system, or that nobody had friends, or that nobody could read video game magazines or visit game stores, etc, etc. Weird idea of the 90s you've got there.
>I like the N64. I just see it for what it is in the grand scheme of things
Weird statement. Yes anybody can see the system never got any Capcom fighting game, for example. I'm not starting to dislike the N64 more because I think about that.
There's no Goemon on Saturn and I still love the Saturn.
>Plus it's a lot of fun and I don't see a point in denying myself the fun when others go far harder with it than I do.
I find console war very tiring, more often than not is less about discussion and more about very low IQ /v/-style shitposting, and more often than not it also gets in the way of genuine discussion of certain exclusive games.

[Anonymous No.7036286]

>>7036269
>This is you again imagining that everyone only owned 1 system
I don't have this problem. Don't try to attribute complexes to me, it never works. Keeping your head in the past is a bit of a weak willed cope isn't it? People don't live in the 90s, as nice as it would be. We're in 2020 now, and people are still learning about the libraries of these systems (well less so the 64.) I speak to anons today instead of honing in on transient nostalgia despite my love for classic games.
>Weird statement
How?

Don't engage in it then.

>>7036286
>Keeping your head in the past is a bit of a weak willed cope isn't it? People don't live in the 90s
That's even worse in terms of trying to make any sense of console wars. Yes we're in 2020, and despite collectors and inflated prices, these systems and games are cheaper than what they used to cost new in the 90s. There is no real excuse to still be console warring in 2020.
>How?
You like the N64, but you spend time doing bait console war threads. Doesn't add up.
>Don't engage in it then.
You see me console warring? I'm not defending the N64 and attacking whatever rival system, as I already said I owned all the 3 major 5th gen systems back then.
>and people are still learning about the libraries of these systems
Yeah and much to your dismay N64 is a rather popular console, even with people who don't have childhood nostalgia for it.

[Anonymous No.7036312]

>>7036303
>That's even worse in terms of trying to make any sense of console wars.
I disagree, the best thing that time has given us is hindsight. Deliberately putting on blinders is just a handicap at this point. The games are more accessible than ever, and that's been the best part.
>There is no real excuse to still be console warring in 2020.
You seem to be under the delusion that it's about not having one or another.
>Doesn't add up
That's fine, you don't have to understand.
>You see me console warring?
I only see you coming around when the N64 is the target, so yes, I do.
>Yeah and much to your dismay N64 is a rather popular console
Sure, it's always going to be. There's lots to tap into to create doubt around it and I've been very successful there.

no one CARES if you didnt like the saturn
no one CARES if you didnt like the n64
no one CARES if you didnt like the gamecube
no one CARES if you didnt like the ps2
no one CARES if you didnt like the dreamcast

theyre 30 goddamn years old stop fighting over some sort of faggot ass pretend supremacy and talk about old games you like and hardware quirks you find interesting. talk about preservation, collection, fuck talk about emulation if you want. it would be one thing if you were just now playing something like goemon and dont think it was very good, but no its about what 5 year old brat had the biggest micropenis on the playground because of the game box their mommy bought for them. also sprinkle some epic dreamcast vs saturn memes, plus "youtube-comment-esque" discussion of re4. this board needs actual rules to fight this shit, and it needs to be a sticky. we need actual fucking mods and jannies watching this board. you want to kill /v/, kill /v/. but instead you spread it around and ruined this board and the other boards you made to replace it are dead. and all you do is watch /v/ and nothing else. everybody shittalks le redit but i cant imagine going there and seeing worse conversations about old school video games than here.
