What are your favorite 3D platformers that aren't praised, well-known titles (Mario 64, DK64, Banjo-Kazooie, etc.)? I'm particularly looking for fifth and sixth gen titles

Kingsley's Adventure is being mentioned from time to time - it's not fantastic but it's good enough if you have an evening to spare.

I'll also never understand the hate for Rascal - sure, it only has like one boss fight copypasted for entire game, but otherwise I actually enjoyed it as a kid, even with tank controls and above average difficulty.

I actually replayed it recently - the idea behind abilities is fine and the artstyle is okay, but man you can tell it's some cheap clone of Spyro 2 (a bunch of copypasted mini-games, enemy models are being reused with minimal changes across levels, very short OST even if it's good) and that's my least favourite Spyro game out of original trilogy so this isn't some biased bashing of Muppets game.
>>
>>12231657
Spyro 1.
People like 2 and 3 better but I just dislike the mission system! I hate backtracking, I hate alternative gameplay systems for mini games. I didn't like it in Mario 64 and Banjo series either.
But Spyro 1? You just plug and play, no distraction. Pure 3D platforming with no mini games and side missions or even cutscenes outside of beginning and end (dragons are fast and skipable) it's just THE most 2D platformer-like full 3D platformer. Just go ahead and beat levels, explore and have fun.

>What are your favorite 3D platformers that aren't praised, well-known titles (Mario 64, DK64, Banjo-Kazooie, etc.)?
The greatest 3D platformer of all-time: Mirror's Edge.

But from 5th and 6th Ape Escape and Chibi Robo are nice

Why the ps1 exclusive library is so underwhelming?

I love the N64 and saturn but damn i have suffered so many disappointement with the ps1

The only exclusive that i really loved was final fantasy vii, amazing game

The other stuff is either mediocre (resident evil, tomb raider, spyro..) or pretty good but not amazing(crash bandicoot, silent hill, metal gear solid..)

Hexen and Duke Nukem 3D/64 also play and look better on N64

also Rayman 2 has a bit more content on N64 compared to PSX I think

>>12235074
I'm not sure what exactly did you imply based on your image and image filename - are we supposed to discuss who of three mascots aged better or which of three featured games aged better?
If it's the former - Mario is the only answer here. Nights only had what, two games in almost 30 years? Crash has a good start with Naughty Dog but his value dropped like a rock after that and he never recovered (even though there were several tries to bring him back).
If it's the latter - I dunno, all three games are too different from each other. Mario 64 is a great 3D platformer that kinda kickstarted the entire genre and I still enjoy replaying it to this day. Crash 1 was "Sonic's Ass" project that tried to delve into 3D character platform action game while still maintaining 2D levels - the ending result is still great (even though it's either levels where you mostly go left or right or levels where you mostly go forward or backwards) because the graphics were fantastic for early 3D, and Crash 1 is still my favourite out of original trilogy due to game being designed around levels and not Crash and his abilities (he only has jump and spin). Nights is using 3D graphics but it's a 2D platformer, it's not even trying to be some kind of hybrid like Crash 1 was.

That one's okay, it has extra content and fixed some of the weapons/movesets. Downside is the framerate is awful and enemies and officers disappear/flicker out of existence constantly when there's a lot of them on screen. It's kinda funny actually, it makes it way easier dealing with multiple officers.

Probably 4. IIRC ranged enemies were literally programmed to prioritise targetting the player over everyone else if you were on a horse.

4XL is the only ps2 game i ever really put any time into.
Also some of the L11 weapon requirements are beyond cruel. I had to kite Zhang Fei on this mission for 40 minutes straight just to get a high enough killcount to get the weapon.

Guys, I just picked up a new 8shitdo arcade stick (v3) and tried swapping a Seimitsu LS-32 stick into it, but I think they changed the grounding pattern to be weird because the 5-pin connector doesn’t work with it. Can anyone help me?
>>
>>12236872
They did some crackhead shit on the Xbox version you can buy a special harness for or solder or wire splice around but if they've changed it on Switch it must be really recent.
>>
>>12236904
Yeah I guess v3 for the switch is recent because I can’t find anything about it online. Where can I buy the special harness?
>>
>>12236872
Are you sure you don't have the connector inserted in the wrong orientation? Try unplugging it, flipping it, and plugging it back in.
>>
>>12236908
I think V3 is just branding they dropped as people forgot the old licensed Mayflash N30 and whatever.

Honestly playing IS and then playing EP feels like you already know too much of the story and there's no mystery to EP, I didn't play EP first but it must have been interesting. At least you would be wondering what's going on instead of characters being surprised to what you already know it's happening .
