15 years of internet history and me talking to people who actively made videos about star fox,
And the moment they start talking about "what is the appeal of star fox?"

Star Fox kinda just shot itself in the foot by being such a casual console friendly experience.
It allows people to take so many aspects of what they like about it, especially because it can be played at that casual level endlessly
without ever engaging with the scoring system Nintendo's deverlopers clearly hoped people would engage with.

So you end up wanting more of those characters, the world, the music, the story.
Every element that was tacked on to the arcade rail shooter score chasing game
to make it a marketable product was as accessible as the gameplay on a skindeep level
You can just play Star Fox 64 as a childrens game with little engagement of its deeper elements.
That nostalgia gets people attached to all of its art assets and more superficial elements.

Some manchild nintendo shit where 30 year old niggas write a script for a youtube essay about an anthropomorphic fox from a game they played as a kid, and naturally as a manchild loser with absolutely no taste, his mind is stuck in the time when he was 10 years old

OP lots of people played the game and got all the medals for the multiplayer unlocks. Getting the medals and doing all the alternate routes wasn’t really a niche thing, the devs wanted you to do that and a lot of people talk about those elements as one of the best parts alongside the presentational aspects. The problem quite literally stems from the fact that
>Adventure
Strayed completely away from the Star Fox formula outside of the like 4 minutes of gameplay where you shoot asteroids and the final boss. It is a reskin of another game entirely, might as well be a side game
>Assault
The on-rail segments are nowhere near as good as 64’s, the level design is basically non-existent for them as you just go pew pew pew pew with good music and alright dialogue. The on foot sections are a completely different game and although they aren’t that bad and expand upon 64’s dinky on-foot mode the true fans unlocked, it’s still a mess. The scoring in this game is the most satisfying since 64, but it’s not really close at all.
>Command
Horrible game all around really. I don’t want to explain all its problems but it’s not what anyone wanted and its only lasting legacy has nothing to do with the gameplay because its gameplay is bad
>Zero
Very gimmicky in areas alongside its control scheme and still worse than 64, but it was actually pretty fun if you got used to it which didn’t take that long to do. Honestly I don’t even think this game was that bad and I did 100% it, but it was a last year Wii U game and people didn’t like it at all because of reasons you did say in OP. That’s where you are right, but it was still a legitimate complaint especially when one of the biggest problems with Zero after you get used to the gimmick is how it also reuses bosses from its own game over and over, like the phoenix.

Lol no. Nintendo can make a Star Fox movie, a Metroid movie, a Kirby movie, a Zelda movie, hell they could make an Earthbound movie and people will still pay to see it. None of them will make a billion, but they could all make 200 million easily, and they can all be barely 100 minutes long.

This. Literal word salad. I've read his post twice (sadly) and can't discern what the fuck he's talking about. The first sentence isn't even a complete thought. Then he says "Star Fox shot itself in the foot by being casual", but then goes on about how casuals love it.

???

Makes no sense how people itt are actually trying to argue with OP when he can't even form a cohesive sentence. Feels like I'm losing my mind. It's like OP just woke up from brain surgery and first thing he does is post on 4chan.

I guarantee you, you asked people who identify primarily as "star fox fans" and you'd never get anyone putting the gameplay as the #1 best quality. A person who truly cares about railshooter gameplay foremost will have long moved onto better or more involved games in the genre.
