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.

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

I 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).

You 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!

Mario 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

>>12013424
How anyone liked GoldenEye more than Perfect Dark is a mystery.

People who couldn't afford Expansion Paks, I suppose.

Yeah, Goldeneye is a glazed turd

Goldeneye is an excellent game. Your issue with it is undoubtedly a skill issue.
>>
>>12013436
it's a pile of shit

>>12013425
perfect dark came out in mid 2000. there were maybe 10,000 n64s still hooked up worldwide by that point

N64 has a ton of great games but some of them feel like prototypes for better versions that came out later

It’s an internet bandwagon thing. Pretty much as soon as someone say

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.

I 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

it 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.

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.

You'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.
>>
>>12013983
no, 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.

The 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.
>>
>>12013424
Goldeneye 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.

>t. 2016 Election Tourist
Waaay 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

The 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.

That's just code for a game with zero bloat, that you actually enjoy going back to, time after time.

It'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.

That'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.

I 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.
>>
>>12020642
Where are you from? Because I can tell you that is absolute bullshit here and I was 15 on its release.

It'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.
