Why is there such a concerted effort to downplay it?
A common symptom of Asperger’s syndrome is starting conversations mid thought in a way that nobody knows what you’re talking about.
Why is there a concerted effort to make this thread again?People liked the N64. /v/'s second GOATed videogames list had Ocarina of Time at the top, and Reddit voted the N64 the best console of that generation. If those two opinions count for nothing then you're spending too much time in an echo chamber or trolling on one of the last good boards.
>>12013296you have to go back
>>12013293>nobody knows what you’re talking aboutIf you're struggling associating an image with the text next to it then you're probably not someone who should be using an image board.
>>12013301Try again, faggot, put your whole chest into it this time.
its got ~5 good games that everybody plays. it was worth owning but it wasnt a general purpose system that had everything like the snes did. its not downplaying to admit the truth. however people who still wear mario jammies are engaged in a 30 year larp that this thing was the snes 2
>>12013309I acknowledge that the N64 was a more specialized game system than the SNES was but I think it's actually more worthwhile than the Saturn was (at least as an American).
>>12013314I agree with you on this. I can't think of five titles for the Saturn off the top of my head that are still discussed regularly nowadays.
>>12013293Interesting that you're a fitting example of one with assburgers.
>>12013316Virtua Fighter Panzer DragoonNightsPrincess CrownSonic RTry again tendie
>>12013296>and Reddit votedOpinion discarded.>>12013309It's a good system but it really does have a very small catalog of games and even smaller selection of good games. And the controller really is retarded.
>>12013323>Virtua Fighteronly "discussed" to dunk on it in comparison to tekken or sf>Panzer Dragoonill give you this one>Nightsno one plays this. they just make fun of the non-binary clown>Princess Crownimport coomslop no one plays they just masturbate to it>Sonic Rnever even heard of this but there has never been a good sonic game
>>12013323Nobody discusses those original games, man. People talk about their later installments. don't kid yourself.
>>12013291You have to be a Zelda fanboy to give a shit about Zelda. Star Wars was good but thanks to cart limits was really short. Beyond that all it really had going for it was "HEY SONY FAGS! ENJOY YOUR LOAD TIMES FOR FINAL FANTASY, AND TOMB RAIDER, AND METAL GEAR SOLID, AND RESIDENT EVIL, AND ALL THE OTHER 2,000 GAMES WE DIDN'T GET!"
>>12013325everyone i know jerks off to the non-binary clown. opinion discarded; you're out of touch
>>12013303Yes, that’s a picture of an N64 and the words are about the N64. That’s very good. You did so well. But you forgot to share what the hell this “concerted effort” is that you’ve invented in your rotted excuse for a brain is.
>>12013291Insecure people from /v/
>>12013291IDK but picrel makes me coom because this is how cables are actually supposed to be stowed.
>>12013291It's angry 3rd worlders. n64 was only popular in America
>>12013291Downplay what? A console that has 15, maybe 20 good games in it's entire library?
Why is there such a concerted effort to exalt it? two top tier games doesn't make it the GOAT.
>>12013291I dunno but it was unpopular in my country. Everybody had a PS1 instead.
>>12013404What two games
>>12013407Not my post but it would have to be OoT & Goldeneye. Of course.
>>12013407Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask
>>12013407take your pick between mario, mario kart, zelda, starfox, goldeneye, or smash. thats the entire library
>>12013410Add Conker's Bad Fur Day and you're on it.
>>12013407Mario 64 and OoT. The other "top tier" games are greatly overrated by the people who grew up with them, such as the case of GoldenEye
>>12013424How anyone liked GoldenEye more than Perfect Dark is a mystery.People who couldn't afford Expansion Paks, I suppose.
>>12013424Yeah, Goldeneye is a glazed turd
>>12013424>such as the case of GoldenEyeGoldeneye is an excellent game. Your issue with it is undoubtedly a skill issue.
>>12013436it's a pile of shit
>>12013425perfect dark came out in mid 2000. there were maybe 10,000 n64s still hooked up worldwide by that point
>>12013291N64 has a ton of great games but some of them feel like prototypes for better versions that came out later
This game was my favorite racing game until Burnout Paradise
>>12013424if that was just a matter of growing up with them I wouldn't religiously replay them 30 years later.
The controller is simply too magnificent for people born after 2005.
>>12013291It’s an internet bandwagon thing. Pretty much as soon as someone say>but it has no games hur dur!!!I know immediately they’re just parroting someone else online without knowing what the hell theyre talking about. I have over a hundred N64 games and aside from a few of them, they’re all genuinely fun games. On top of that, their console is home to some of the best games of their genre ever made. It’s a great console and anyone who says otherwise is either a troll, lying to you, or doesn’t know what the hell theyre talking about.
>>12013424I feel GE is a very fun game when you play with friends and family. I never judge it for single player content. Also it sold like 5 times more than PD so I think people just prefer it on volume alone>>12013448That's a great game
>>12013410obviously if you conveniently ignore the rest it's the entire library
>>12013510>Also it sold like 5 times more than PD so I think people just prefer it on volume aloneit had james bond, it had a better sound track and more memorable level design. The cope from PD fans is really bizarre, PD was a good game, it just wasn't anywhere near as appealing as goldeneye.
Nintendo bad
>>12013437Sounds like you suck at vidya.
>>12013510>I feel GE is a very fun game when you play with friends and family. I never judge it for single player content.im the opposite. i think its single player still holds up, but the multiplayer never did really. its just that there wasnt anything else so of course everyone has fond memories of it.
>>12013424Yeah, like the two games you mentioned, hypocrite.
>>12013309>its got ~5 good games that everybody plays.>>12013324>it really does have a even smaller selection of good games.>>12013397>Downplay what? A console that has 15, maybe 20 good games in it's entire library?>>12013404>two top tier games doesn't make it the GOAT.>>12013410>take your pick between mario, mario kart, zelda, starfox. thats the entire libraryYou're all talking about the SNES and you don't even realise it. I'm not a N64 fan but this same criticism cannot just be leveraged at the N64, it applies equally to most Nintendo consoles.
>>12013983no, it only applies to the NES which had a lot of jank. the SNES had a vast amount of fantastic games, the n64 had a much more restricted library but nonetheless great games, more than whatever the dishonest faggots who never owned one attempt to imply.
>>12013330Because not many people dive into the Saturn library.
>>12013323Yikes!
>>12013296>/v/>reddit So Mexicans and soi gaping fags?
>>12013291It's amazing how unpopular this nogaems machine became over night. Nobody even defends its anymore.
>>12014654ok
>>12014721Fun fact: I positioned this game as a good title and oot fanboys shit all over it.
>>12013363no they're not, it needs to be over under wrapped
The N64 has amazing powers to produce seethe
>>12013508The weird thing is you hear it from people who you know know better.One second it's all "man, Sin and Punishment and Pokemon Snap are so good..", and then it's "the N64 has no games". Pick one, man.Some people just really love internet bandwagons, and not admitting they caved to peer pressure 20 years ago, idk.
>>12013424Goldeneye is underrated at this point. It genuinely has really fun shooting, and good level pacing. Not to mention an amazing soundtrack and general good ambiance.If playing a shooter with that control scheme is such a deal breaker, you can use an emulator and set up mouselook. No excuse.I think I'd rather play it right now than go back to something like Far Cry. I kind of hated Far Cry. Nothing but bad stealth and guys sniping me through walls from across the map.
>>12014721The art style sucks
>>12015558Nobody likes #1.
>>12014645>t. 2016 Election TouristWaaay back in 2008, before your kind browsed 4chan, reddit was surprisingly close to 4chan in userbase, sans "NIGGER" and "FAGGOT". A lot of /v/ projects got posted directly to /r/gaming to gain traction. Gamergate was the flashpoint for active division between the two sites, and the 2016 election cycle cemented the disdain for plebbit that you see today. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I am saying you should look into the history of the website you post to, assuming you're not some fuckin' bot I've been baited into replying to
>>12013407Custom RoboCustom Robo V2
>>12013293I'm so tired of being autistic and everyone else being normal. The worst part is no amount of medicine changes your brain to be normal. So when I info dump my carefully constructed megaman lore dump instead of having an engaging conversation its just oh interesting.
>>12016856I'm gonna give you a chance to strut your stuff, anon:I like comic books. Are the Megaman comics worth reading? If yes, which ones?
>>12016856Psilocybin mushrooms to initiate neurogenesis.
>>12016775that's not what happened. People hated Reddit because they were stealing our memes, back in like 2010(back when people still gave a shit about stuff like that)Assuming 2016 changed much of anything on 4chan outs you as having not been here, desu. It was 2014 and 2015 when the big cultural schisms happened, moot left because people were calling him a censorcuck, and half of the site went off to that other site.Normies who weren't paying attention love pretending 2016 changed the entire world, for some reason.
>>12014726Because oot is a much better game
>>120171962014 and 2015 are part of the 2016 election cycle. We are making the same point. We agree.
>>12013291The N64 is a beloved console among normies. /vr/ is filled with non-normies who want to make a statement about how edgy and non-normie they are by rejecting things that are popular with normies. Ergo, that's why the N64 receives so much hate here.
>>12018380Shit taste.
>>12018415normiefrog truke
>>12013291the cd and direct download mafia want to prevent another cartridge-based system from ever ascending.
I had both consoles and remember by late '99 there was nothing great coming out. PS1 had everything.
>>12018415Almost everywhere the PS1 was the normie console though.Americans think they're being cool and underground when they talk about Metal Gear Solid or Crash Bandicoot, lol.
>>12018405Not everything hinges on one gay election that happened nine years ago.4chan's culture fractured when moot decided he was going to go against the culture of the site, and try to stop people having conversations about something (which actually had no bearing on Trump, whatsoever).
>>12020374That was a good year for the N64. Smash Bros and Pokemon Snap came out. Majora's Mask and Banjo Tooie were on the way. What the hell are you talking about?
>>12013291>why won't /vr/ acknowledge my shitty childhood as something it's not?Cry some more bitch nigger.
>>12020384Pokemon Snap is a rental kind of game.
>>12020390I'm sorry it's not Spongebob licensed games on the DS.
>>12020395That's just code for a game with zero bloat, that you actually enjoy going back to, time after time.
>>12020398It's amusing for a playthrough, but among those games Smash is something you'll break out with your friends or play alone to one up your friends at some later date.
>>12020406That's pretty much what I prefer when it comes to games, especially now.I could just as easily have said Jet Force Gemini, but that game is kind of bloated.
>>12013291A true console warrior never dies, he just hibernates.
>>12020375I didn't say the N64 was the only normie console, but you have a point since its popularity with normies was mostly, if not exclusively a North American thing.
>>12020642Where are you from? Because I can tell you that is absolute bullshit here and I was 15 on its release.
>>12013291It's not a concerted effort. It was downplayed pretty much worldwide even when it was out. It only ever was a big hit in the USA.
>>12020702Canada. The N64 was a hit here, but I heard it wasn't popular in Europe or Japan.
>>12015498Over/under in a circular fashion? Like how Indy stows his whip? I thought they were...
>>12016856The only solution is to double down and become 10x more autistic
>>12016213I will trust you and your criteria on what makes good or bad artsyle.
>>12020767Europe was/is not a single market really. The (ex) commie countries only knew the psx which skewed the overal results. But it did ok in western europe and was supported until the gamecube came out.
The biggest mistake Sony did with the PS2 was not adding two more controller ports as the default.
insecure console warriors mad that nintendo won so they have to keep reposting sales numbers from their glory days.
>>12013291Butthurt saturnfags desperately trying to take second place.
i feel like this thread from op was a bait to see who has critical thinking skills.
>>12021609Nintendo didn't won, Nintendo 64 is a great console full of great games but it did not won
>>12016856As someone who is also deeply passionate about something, I can relate.
>>12013293If you don't know what OP is talking about, you don't browse this board, so obviously you lack context.
>>12018415*pedophiles you mean, who want to stay the same age and interact with userbase of that age (kids)
