Serious attempt and hopping into this franchiseWhere should I start and what should I skip?
>>739016887whats with all these bot posts recently
>>739016965Yeah yeah but have you played starfox recently?
>>739016887Star Fox 64 is legit the only good game. You could wait for the remake next month, and miss nothing.
>>739017045no kid icarus uprising is better anyway
>>739017212I played that and had a pretty great time. Shame it's not on anything else but the 3ds
>>739016887Asuras wrath
>>739016887If you are not a furry, skip Adventures.Don't listen to furfags, Adventures is just a worse version of any 3d Zelda game
>>739016887Star with 64 then check out star fox 1 and 2 on switch online.
>>739016887Star Fox 2 --> Star Fox Assault --> Star Fox Zero --> Star Fox 64 DS --> Star Fox Adventures --> Star Fox --> Star Fox 64 --> Star Fox Command You play the series in this order.
Start at 64, skip everything else
......why would you want to skip games?
>>739016887Start with the original on snes if you're into that kind of thing, otherwise go with 64. Play Zero if you enjoyed the gameplay, it's bad, but not THAT bad. Play Adventures if you are into Krystal or like staring at Fox's gorgeous ass.Play 2 last.Only play the rest if you feel masochistic.
>>739016887Just play 64. Everything else is half-baked and mediocre vs 64 which is perfect and timeless for a reason.
>>739016887there's not many>the goodStarfox 1, Starfox 64>the just ok2>the uglyevery other game in the franchise.
>>739017932It's really not, you overestimate how good 3D Zelda is
>>739018207We're you drunk when you typed that?
>>739019151Zelda peaked on the N64 before SF Adventurers was released, but Adventures is only a SF game because Miyamoto wanted to make sure Rare couldn’t port it to Xbox. SF and SF2 were also Western-developed games that Jewtendo ripped off to make SF64 in house. The completely Japanese-made SF games without Western tech have all been mediocre.
>>73901688764 is the definitive game. It's the game with all the character and charm baked in. Every other game is lesser than it. The original Star Fox on SNES is a fun thing to jump into. SF2 is like an experiment that didn't justify a full game. Assault and Command I don't care about, but Command's writing is trash and the art is butt ugly.
>>739016887May as well just wait for the new remake, unless you're open to older games, if so then go either with the SNES original or 64.
>>739016887>Star FoxFun for the time it was made, but it doesn't hold up all that well. If you can stomach the technical limitations, especially the frame rate, you'll probably enjoy it. The best option is to play on PC with mods though.>Star Fox 2Similar to the original in regards to tech limitations. Levels are really short and don't have much replay value though.>64By far the best game in the franchise. Probably the best place to start and maybe the only one worth playing today. Short, but replayable to a ridiculous degree.>AdventuresZelda for fetuses. Furfags will swear it's actually a great game, but don't believe their lies, they were too busy jacking off to Krystal to actually pay any mind to what was going on.>AssaultNot a bad game, but not very good either. Most ot the problems boil down to the foot missions, with very stiff movement and repetitive, boring objectives. On-rail stages are still fun, but there are like 3 of them and they're kinda slow and too easy compared to 64. Good multiplayer though.>CommandNo such thing, stop asking about it.>64 3DSee 64. Overall improvement, except in regards to the voice acting. You can tell they were attempting to recreate the delivery of the original, but it just ends up sounding wrong.>ZeroThere's actually a pretty decent game hidden under the retarded Wii U gimmick, it's a shame it wasn't developed as a Switch launch title. The game looks fine for the most part, but the enemy ship designs look like cheap toys. Also, the Gyrowing fucking sucks.>GuardMediocre tower defense game. Good for a weekend, but don't expect much of it.
Just Jack it to Krystal
>>73901688764/3DS and Adventures. The rest are direct-to-video cheap sequels or beta games (1 and 2)
>>739019689>SF and SF2 were also Western-developed gamesAnd it shows, horrible games
You can just play star fox 64 and have a good time.
>>73901688764, Adventures, AssaultThe rest are all terrible
>>739016887What about fangames, like EX and Event Horizon?
If you care about playing Adventures after 64, read the comic Farewell Beloved Falco before you do. 64 3D, in case you didn't know, is a 3DS remake of 64. Play one or the other.
>>739016887Play 64 and skip everything else
>>739020352Why the FUCK hasn't nintendo release a sequel to adventures where you play as Fox and Krystral teaming up together on an unknown planet It literally prints money
>>739016887Skip command and zero, play the rest, though to be fair zero on an emulator might be alright, I wouldn't know
>>739016887Don’t play command. Its so bad that the director had to go and apologize and say that the whole game isn’t canon
Gummi ship in KH2 is better than all Star Fox games combined.
>>739021778>>739021415It's not THAT bad. It's like comparing Mario 64 to Mario vs Donkey Kong, two different beasts. I'd rec Command before I rec Advnetures.
STEP ON THE GAS
>>739021967NO! HIT THE BRAKES!
>>739021936Command is uniformly bad. The story is terrible and the controls are fucking horrible, even with the D-pad patch because nobody ever actually finished the patch causing the latest version to have bizarre audio glitches and worst of all, roll is still bound to the touchscreen
>>739021282Because none of the sequels were good and Krystal is sincerely not a good star fox character. Blame Nintendo if you want but how she's portrayed in her totality is a massive disappointment from the other characters. Even characters like fay and miyu are better than Krystal despite their near non existent presence because they have simple yet effective roles while Krystal got really messy with her portrayals and what she's supposed to be as a character.
>>739020208Adventures and especially assault are terrible too. It really is just 64 being the sole good game. Star fox 1 and maybe 2 could br recommended for those interested in seeing how Nintendo eventually took elements of both games to make 64..
>>739022627>fay and miyuTheir entire “character” is repeating the same tutorial lines constantly that the other characters also do. You’re autistic on the level of “sonic’s eyes are not green because muh genesis games!”
>>739022685Assault is almost as great as 64>Star fox 1 and maybe 2 could br recommendedOh. I see. You’re retarded. My condolences.
>>739022781>Assault is almost as great as 64Prove it.
>>739022740>>739022781Same person posted these because hes seething his blue waifu sucks lol
>>739022627>what she's supposed to be as a character.Sex appeal, that's it. Ask Miyamoto and Imamura.
>>739022954and what's wrong with that???
>>739022954https://shmuplations.com/starfoxadventures/Correct. I would have more respect if she just stayed at being blatant furbait and an even bigger flirtatious character than katt in 64 in future appearances, basically playing into her strengths. Instead she was brought into assault and became a really dull character who'd be not fondly remembered if not for her appearance. Command really tried to make her an actual character but she barely had any substance to her and just became an ex girlfriend for fox.
>>739023045Not a goddamn thing
>>739023045In itself? Nothing, as long as keep the shitty furfag writers far away (Imamura himself in this case).
>>739023045>and what's wrong with that???The issue is her cultists believe she is much more than that and are adamant she is the best potrayed character in the game, even without sex appeal involved.
>>739023137A shame she's a boring character. In the era of dozens upon dozens of sexy furry characters, especially vixens, Krystal is middling. You have to be nostalgic for her to think she stands and chance against the numerous other furbaits that came along.
>>739022610It functioned fine as a DS game. I can understand "this isnt a control scheme I'd want to use to play in" but it worked. The gameplay is somewhat repetitive but serviceable, it's just not at all on rails like SF is known for. I don't just mean it's entirely all-ranged mode, I mean it's a very "focus on your speed and performance" kind of game. I'm not saying you need to turn your brain off, the game is just playing to slightly different skills than SF usually does.
>>739021898Sin and punishment is a better on rails shooter shooter than star fox 64 and they're both on the same system.
>>739019967>Command>No such thing, stop asking about it.Come on it's not that badToo many people are hating Star Fox Command, it's good for being a DS title
>>739016887The only SF games that aren't Lylat Wars are SF2, which isn't really finished, and Adventures, which is a just OK Zelda game. I like Adventures and SF2 was cool to try but SF64 is the only one you really need to play.
>>739023325>The gameplay is somewhat repetitive but serviceable,Command is definitely a game for its time but it also is important to remember the type of system it was built for. It was smaller scale, repetitive, and had unorthodox controls since it was on the Nintendo ds, a handheld system known to pushing touch screen gimmicks for a lot of its games especially early on. Also being a handheld game it is important to remember it is not meant to be played in long sessions. Most handheld games are meant to be played in short bursts aka a level or two so it being repetitive isn't too much of an issue compared to home consoles where you usually play them for well over an hour if not hours.
>>739023398They're salty it wasa better for the series than assault.
I liked Adventure. Wish it didn't fall apart after the second major dungeon.
you're going to be disappointed
I wish they kept the ground sections of adventures and instead of a zelda clone it's a ratchet and clank 3rd person shooter.
>>739023430I just realized that I forgot about Assault. I intentionally forget about Command because it's super bad but I suppose it doesn't speak highly for Assault that I unintentionally omitted it. I remember it being OK but it was also only like 4 hours long on my first playthrough.
>>739016887does starfox 64 have a recompilation like perfect dark and mario 64?
>>739023637Dammit anon now I have to lament the fact that this doesn't exist. That really would be a great direction to take, Nintendo doesn't have anything like R&C.
>>739023637Didn't one of the games have a 3rd person shotting aspect to it?
>>739023856Yes. Two of them.
>>739016887Play Star Fox 64. Original or the 3DS version, whichever works. And that's it basically. Star Fox Assault is ok, you could play it but it's not something you're missing out on much if you don't. Skip the rest, because the original SNES one is ancient (64 was also a remake of it) and everything else are just remakes of 64. Adventures stands alone as a weird Zelda clone that isn't very fun or interesting.
>>739017136This
>>7390242382 was good though
>>739016887Play 64, assault, 2 and guard. The rest are subpar.
>>739023637I don't know why but my autism really wants a Star Fox XCOM game starring bill
Why can't they just make Star Fox 64 2? Keep the same graphics, controls, and engine but just give us a bunch of new levels with maybe even more route branches; it's really that simple
>>739023123Krystal never had much of a personality to begin with, her only meaningful interaction in Adventures was talking to Fox at the end of the game while he dropped his spaghetti. Assault didn't deviate from that, and it's honestly fine for the kind of game it was.Sure, it would be nice for Krystal to have something more than sex appeal, like make her a bit clueless about common sense or have some odd traditions. That being said, a dull character that exists to flaunt her tits and ass is still better than the cheap melodramatic and cringeworthy clusterfuck that was Command.
>739024314Except he shouldn’t wait for the remake since half the reason SF64 is so beloved is the script/voice acting, which we already know will be much worse in the new game.
>>739023325Explain how the fog of war wasn’t bullshit.
>>739024972All that personality been lost the moment they made Dinosaur Planet a Starfox game
>>739025140Krystal if she dumpy
>>739025140Miyamoto sucks at handling ips beyond the initial ideas, look at him claiming that peach was always an action girl.
>>739024972I think it was cute how miserable she could get if she and Fox didn't mend their relationship in Command. Those two should just get a room.
>>739024630Assault is the most subpar game of all.
>>739024080i found this https://github.com/HarbourMasters/Starshipwhat's the other one?
>>739024776The closest we got to that was star fox zero. It had those awkward controls but it is a very different game from 64 and with a different story could have passed as a 64 2, though not saying I'd be as good as 64.
>>739024972>Assault didn't deviate from that, and it's honestly fine for the kind of game it was.Assault not doing anything meaningful with Krystal probably damned her existence the most. Under the circumstances adventures was built under i wouldn't expect her to be fleshed out in that game but assault was the game she could have shined in. If she was better handled in assault then her portrayal in command could have been a lot better since then they'd have stuff to with with rather than largely inventing her character in command itself.
>>739025957https://github.com/sonicdcer/Starfox64Recompsupposedly runs better on low end hardware and has better mod supportalso made by the same dev as starship
>>739025349George Lucas did the same thing when he claimed Princess Leia was the main character of Star Wars. Must be some boomer thing where they just outright lie to claim they were always ahead of the curve when it comes to the current year gurl power trend.
>>739023807I'd argue assault is the game that left the least impact on the star fox series if you really think about it. It didn't leave a lasting impact on culture like 64, didn't have fundamental innovations for Nintendo games like star fox 1 and 2, didn't have an intriguing history like adventures did, and didn't have a controversial legacy like command and zero. Assault really just exists in a middle ground where things in that space just sort of fizzle out into obscurity.
Is the 3ds remake a good place to start?
>>739026740Yes, but if you want to play 64 you might as well wait for the Switch 2 remake.
I've played 64, but for some reason, I've never bothered playing the SNES games until now. I really want to check out Assault because of me distinctly playing the demo a lot in stores back when the game was new.
>>739024080Did any of them get a switch port?
>>739026740just play the original 64 version, it's not hard to set up on pc >>739026276
>>739016965What’s with all these dumb first posts recently?
>>739027090this is literally easier and better. you download starship, put the star fox 64 z64 rom file in the folder, and start. thats it. now you have star fox running on your pc
>>739017932It's the final evolution of rareware, worth checking out if you like carrying barrels and talking to weird creatures in strange locations. Hardly a starfox game though with the most shoehorned ending of all time
>>739027161this is clearly a shill thread by nintendo, like what the fuck kinda question is this just play what ever looks interesting to you
>>739027090I'm going on a trip this week and thought I'd play that version
>>739026276>download this the other day>app asks for ROM>give it a .n64 instead of .z64 by mistake >it accepts this but crashes >load wrapper again>no option anywhere to replace the ROM loaded, just to start the game>deleting and redownloading doesn't restore the option so I downloaded Starship instead and It Just Worked(tm)
>>739027754why not just delete the .n64 file
>>739027754where do folx get they n64 roms at these days, my old sites all died
>>739026276Any good mods for this? Like a graphics patch?
>>739028609ironically the recomp is much newer so most of the mods are made for the old starship portthere's also starfoot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a-h5I2a6Ck
>>739016887just play the games they're all really short
Gotta say. The lack of being able to aim and move independently fucks with me something fierce.
>>739029635eh, depends on the game. It's fine for SF64 really
Is it worth trading in my switch for a switch 2 only for Star Fox? Or is this gonna flop like Zero?I had zero interest in Bonanza
>>739031050Guaranteed flop
>>739031050Why are you using sales to decide if something is worth buying or not? Do you even want to play the game?
I wonder how active the online in the remake will be.
>>739031667I guess for multiplayer.
>>739031050>flop like ZeroNo chance in hell it flops as hard as that game or anything on the Wii U. Probably won't flop at all, pre-orders started topping Amazon video games chart in like a day.
>>739016887You should actually get a consensus answer unlike metroidsnes starfox, starfox 64 or 64 3D. That's it. snes starfox is technically rough but it's good. Emulation is free and these games are short, so if you play something else it can only waste so much of your time.Starfox 2 is very interesting historically especially for series fans but it's not very fun. Starfox adventures isn't a starfox game, its a rareware action adventure and their answer to zelda. No one talks about assault. I guess that's preferable than being endlessly shit on like zero.I don't even know if command is that bad of a game I'm just repulsed from the fan fiction tier radiation that emits from it.
