Banjo Kazooie filtered me because I just got really bored 50% in. I think I just hate the slow movement in a game that has you collecting things. Spyro 2 absolutely shits on Banjo in terms of just movement and speed and responsiveness.

I genuinely think its just nostalgia fags that love Banjo and people that only had a n64 growing up.

Also, you don't have to backtrack even once to beat the game without glitches. The 100% option is there for who want more out of the game. If you're all Tooie'd out by the end, just play something else.

Yeah I wouldn't call it an all time classic or anything but it's a neat little game. There are a TON of radio calls with your teammates and they'll comment on pretty much every new plot element you encounter or give you pointers if you're lost. You can even try to call up your dead buddies and I think the player character will say different things about them depending on when you try.

>>12715561
This holds up so well. Aside from the platforming in the late game, can't think of any notable flaw it has. Puzzles aren't braindead nor obtuse except for maybe one or two, atmosphere is superb, classical music for the soundtrack works great. Probably as close as you could get to a flawless execution of its concept given the technology of the era. Shame the sequels sucked so bad.

I got a hp 8730w recently. In my opinion, a notebook is the best way if you are looking for an og era setup.
Tested several games. The Quadro FX 2700M performed very well.
Otherwise, just grab a GeForce 8800 or 9600

i had this happen recently with a 9600se, when i managed to get it to post without black screening, it went from artifacts before i installed driver, then no artifacts, but as soon as driver installed, blackscreen then system rebooted, i tried other mb/psu and no change, managed to get the drivers installed without it black screening, but as soon as the card did anything 3d it would lock up, left it a week and its now working and did manage to benchmark it, may have flashed the bios before this, or could have been after, i forget, im still not 100% sure its a fully working card, as it was crushed inside the box around the heatsink/GPU, so could be broken solder joints.

I love this game but is it actually any good or did I just grow up with it? Is it even on anon’s radar?
I used play it obsessively and found some weird bugs that I’ve never seen documented online, a fun combo of underplayed and undertested.

Are there any other games with a similar enemy corpse possession system.
>>
>>12717149
Its a pretty good and original game albeit it has some really frustrating shit if you're going for 100% because of lack of checkpoints and the overall slow movement of the animals.
>bugs
it has two infamous bugs, the expansion pak bug that freezes the game if you play with one inserted and the one unobtainable trophy making the game impossible to 100%, both were fixed in a patch that's compatible with flashcarts.

It's great. Playing it these days it looks pretty dated, but the music is still really good. Some of the stages feel pretty empty too. But there's a good amount of variety in the gameplay and puzzles. I can't really think of anything else like it. I only have two physical n64 games and this is one of them, the other is goldeneye.

The original has become so underrated these days. Everyone I talk to loves Zero Mission. It's disappointing as a remake, it doesn't capture that atmosphere of Metroid at all, it's so handholdy, you get a free heal everywhere, there's just no struggle, you don't feel isolated on a hostile alien world. I wish Nintendo would recapture this game's essence, give me that open ended design, those locations that look the same, no map, and hidden power ups. Hidden. I miss the era of gaming where everyone played similar games, but everyone had their own story to tell about the experience. Did you find the upgrade on level 5, no I beat the game without it, that was a doozy.

Mega Man 2 has some good vertical platform segments.

The real problem with open world vertical platforming is that the devs too often don't put any effort into making them good. The world needs some vertical connections so they just half-ass some staircases or copy/pasted platforms. If they were properly designed they could be decent.

For me, it was how the game basically didn't have health pickups beyond the donuts that sometimes spawn when you kill enemies, so if you needed to fully recharge your health you were stuck spawncamping zebs at these pipes in picrelated (unless you got lucky with energy tanks). When I finally beat NES Metroid, it was at a friend's house right after college. His roommate would walk past the TV while I was playing and more often than not it was while I was fishing zebs for health, he kept asking me if I was actually having fun playing this shit since I'm just sitting near pipes doing the same thing over and over.

I haven't played Zero Mission so I can't say if it's better or worse than the OG, but as far as NES Metroid goes I'd only recommend it to people who already got into Metroid through some other game and are curious about its history. I get that when it came out it was a big deal, but it hasn't aged well, and I'm not even considering the lack of minimaps or the other usual complaints when I say this.
>>
>>12717186
I don't know man I couldn't find a way to toggle it. Either I was completely blind when I had the menus open or my version of the game differed from yours. I went straight into Metroid 2 afterwards so I don't remember much of my Planets playthrough anymore. I believe you though.

I saw a dream world hidden outside of time
Saturn in the temple, controller in my mind
When the bell rings midnight, the old gods arrive

They wanted a mascot, I wanted the core
Sega's forgotten angel came back for more

Just finished this and boy does it go down the crapper at the ending. The final level is way too short and simple, the boss sucks, and everything gets resolved way too fast.
Also making Jade some kind of super special girl with unexplained superpowers was beyond unnecessary, and kinda shits all over the theme of a concerned citizen making a difference through sheer bravery and grit.
All the stuff on Hillys is very good though. Good characters, good story, good level design, cool setting and atmosphere. Very stylish and polished for a 2003 adventure game. Easy to see why it became a cult classic.
