How about this guy?

>>11509825
Fuck you I liked it
>>
>>11509823
Yes.
I loved this game and will always love this game. It’s amazing on so many levels. It was so good to be a Star Wars enjoyer in the 90s. No prequels, no sequels, no “canon” other than the three movies, no over saturation and tons of games like this you were free to take or leave:
>Shadows
>Rogue Squadron
>X-Wing/Tie Fighter games
>Dark Forces/Jedi Knight
This is a game where the jank improves it rather than hinders it. Fighting against this games rigid controls and camera is legitimately part of the fun in a way unlike other early 3D games.
Dream come true to adults who grew up on the originals and kids who grew up on the special editions. The Star Wars resurgence was a fun time to be alive, a shame it was short lived and what became of it.

No but shadows of the empire ruled and that level did too. I liked fucking with the wampas.
>>
>>11509837
Yeah, it was a great time to be into Star Wars. And say what you will about the special editions, watching the movies in theaters was cool as a kid who wasn't around for the original releases.
>>
>>11509830
I 'member this nigga.

Great game, can't remember what it is called now but I enjoyed it.
>>
Later bosses are some bullshit, I hate that one droid that splits into three parts and have only ever beat it by getting it stuck against a wall.
>>11509860
What was up with the brown wampas? Those made me wonder as a kid, do wamaps exist outside Hoth? Are there subspecies? What the hell is their problem, anyway?
I realize it's just a colorswap to reuse an asset twice but I've never understood in-game what they're supposed to be.
>>
>>11510003
Shadows of the Empire.
>>
>>11510003
Wrath of the Black Manta in the US, Ninja Cop Saizou in Japan.
>>
>>11510063
>Wrath of the Black Manta
YES!

Thank you my melanin enriched brother.
>>
>>11509823
yeah, of a mountain of shit.
>>
gave this game a try the other day. the hoth AT-AT setpiece was really good, at times the n64 could feel like a 6th gen console. then the first on foot level started...woof, if I had n64 nostalgia maybe it'd be different.
>>
>>11509867
Definitely. The special effects in a new hope were so good I didn’t even understand that it wasn’t a new movie. Nothing will be as timeless as them.
The late 90s was a nice time to be alive, I pity the youth.
>>
>>11509823
Loved the hell out of this game. Wampa scared my guts off

Are you a bot?
>>
>>11511471
Don't make low quality posts on /vr/. If you're upset that someone appreciates a game, find something more productive to do with your time, instead of forcing yourself to be a subversive retard trying to undermine peoples' enjoyment.
>>
To this day I'm still not sure if the default blaster in this game is cool or really stupid. I like the idea of a fast recharging backup weapon but I don't think anyone really bothered with letting it get up to 100 when you can just mash B and mulch most dudes.

The IG 88 fight was scary for my younger self.

>stand there and mash B
>oh he's shooting at you, go directly behind him and mash B again
doesn't take much for you retards to call something "peak" does it?

But enough about OoT.

be sure to check out the JP version sometime. It has a lot of differences, including an entirely cut level, different boss designs + fights, and a different story (if you can read japanese. I can't, so I can't comment on it, but it looks like your typical ninja anime stuff at the time in the late 80s).
>>
>>11511753
You have to aim though. That gives you a very small window to damage the walker. You have to get behind it while it’s always trying to turn and aim at you, and once you’re behind it, you have to stop moving and aim up. If you don’t come to the fight stacked with homing rockets it’s an endurance test.
Thats part of the fun-jank of this game.
>>
>>11512163
>You have to aim though.
no you don't, the game aims for you. don't talk about games you've never played.
>>
>>11512251
I have put hundreds of hours in this game since 1998.
This game absolutely does not aim for you or have any kind of lock on targeting. I think the most you get is slight magnetization of the blaster bolts on regular enemies.
For the first boss fight, the walker, you have to aim up at the body otherwise 95 percent of your shots will miss.
I’d love to beat you to fucking death with a hammer in front of your loved ones for suggesting I never played this fucking game. You are such a fat wrong pussy faggot I’m going to fucking kill you.

And before you fucking get the nerve to say it came out in 1996, I didn’t get an N64 until 1998. The Player’s Choice version.

You are such a worthless fucking roach. The shit your mother took on you when she begrudgingly pushed your feeble FAS body into the world is worth more than you. Fuck you.

>>11512301
wow didn't realize i'd upset you that much at telling you the truth that you have 0 fucking clue about this game. so which thread did you take that picture from?
>>
>>11512341
That’s a picture from eBay to demonstrate the version of the game I had as a child.
If I had the opportunity to take away the things you loved the most I would. With any luck you live just far away from a nuclear strike zone where you get every form of cancer and die over the course of a few months.
I hope you die of aids surrounded by your gay lovers. Actually kill yourself for telling me I’ve never played this game after you were so confident it “aimed for you”.
You are a fucking retard, die.

blah blah blah, lotta words to say "i've never played the game and i'm a master at taking cock up my ass"

If you were pretending to be retarded then I mean what I said triply so. Kill yourself.

I want a romhack of this game which takes up the story of the Shadow of Empire comics (the same events on Luke's side.)

There's a corner I found that you can cheese him with. But yeah that shit scared me as a kid.
Then there was that lategame boss where you were in a maze below, great game.
>>
I was legit scared of having to 1 on 1 an AT-ST. It was an effective boss fight on an emotional level. A lot of SotE's magic is due to its atmosphere and realness, it doesn't feel like slop to cash on the franchise, it feels like it HAS the soul the franchise once had.
>>
>>11513893
isn't this the boss with the tails flickies glitch? I sure do love sonic air
