It’s time for millennials to admit the N64 kinda sucked.

Shit thread aside, what is it with the N64 that attracts a certain type of manchild? No other game console does it, even other Nintendo consoles.

It's hard to describe the kind of person I'm talking about but hopefully someone else can help me pinpoint what it is
>>
>good things bad, actually
fantastic thread
>>
>>12140490
It was the console for coddled millennials in upper-middle evangelical American households. Working class parents bought their kids a PlayStation because the games were cheap.
>>
>>12140496
Wish I grew up in that household. Instead I had to fight my alcoholic uncle to play my Playstation that I got for my birthday while my moms deadbeat boyfriend did nothing
>>
>>12140496
I had both an N64 and PSX, and the PSX games were much cooler.
>>
I always knew that
>>12140434
Wrong on both counts. Try for the hattrick.
>>
>>12140523
Moi aussi. Also Saturn and my brother had a Neo Geo. N64 was my least favourite of those consoles.
>>
>>12140517
Kek sounds like the typical PlayStation experience. PS didn't didn't lose its poorfag status until the PS3.
>>
>>12140523
Yeah same. I only had 3 games for the N64 (N64 actually had the lowest attach rate of any Nintendo system) whereas I was spoilt for choice on PS1.
>>
It does kinda suck, but it has a handful of good games that make it worth investigating. Just not nearly as many as the PlayStation or Saturn.
>>
>>12140535
I rented most of my games growing up and it drove me crazy that months could pass without anything worth renting would come out. Whereas with the SNES (and PS1 I guess), there was new stuff almost weekly.
>>
>>12140429
You're retarded
>>12140434
And so are you

Amazing thread
>>
>>12140429
been saying this since 2003 and before then too
>>
Agreed, and it's also time for millennials and gen X to admit that the SNES kinda sucked.
>>
>>12141557
The PCE was the only interesting Gen 4 console. Genesis was a discount x68000, while PCE at least had the distinction of introducing optical discs to gaming.
>>
>>12140429
Shut the fuck up, clanker.
>>
>>12140429
The quote in your pic is from a Jew whose idea of "adult things" included believing that another dead Jew was actually the Messiah and that trusting that his crucifixion and death was all part of an invisible sky wizard's plan to cleanse people of their sin and reconcile them to him, while those who scoffed at this would and already suffer his wrath. I'd not put much stock in it.
>>
I think there's something to be said about the pretty frequent innovation that was happening on N64 like the 3D analog stick, rumble, and how games like Mario 64, Zelda, Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64 practically invented and set the standard for their respective genres in 3D. N64 games also tended to have larger worlds/levels with impressive draw distance and it's something nobody gives it credit for anymore because people would rather complain about the textures being blurry. Even the 64DD was pretty innovative, too bad it got delayed for so long it never got to be utilized in a meaningful way. If it came out in 97 as intended we would have seen some really cool stuff.

Beyond that though I would say it's a matter of taste. N64 games to me have always had a distinct flavor to them, no matter who developed them or what genre they were, something felt, for lack of a better word, unified between them all. If you like games with an emphasis on exploration whether its a platformer, adventure game, or one of the few RPGs, or you like racing games and multiplayer shenanigans, you're gonna have a great time with just about anything on the N64. I've found that even the "shittier" games on the system are worth checking out, there's usually at least something to like in there somewhere beneath all the crap.

Idk, I enjoy the Playstation just fine, plenty of games on there I really love, but something about N64 speaks to my soul and I wish people would be less harsh on it and look beyond the first party stuff.

op's pic is such absolute bullshit misrepresentation and total falsehood sentiment of what CS Lewis wrote.

>"To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, **to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence...**
>When I became a man I put away childish things, **including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.**”
>>
>>12141643
Considering this is the second N64 hate thread with a similar tone today, I doubt OP actually reads philosophy (I assume it's philosophy, not into that stuff personally) and instead just reads the quotes in sigma edits.
>>
N64 had two (2) good games: SM64 and OoT. Everything else was just cope.

You can't refute a word of it plus you're unreasonably mad, meaning you're one of those poor kids who had to play that thing and nothing else.
The controller's shape was meticulously made to turn you gay, which it did, as we can see.
Case closed. Nintenturds have no right to make any claims about "that console". It's better for damnatio memoriae to be enacted upon it and associated shit that ran on it - from now on and ever since.
>>
>>12140490
N64 spawns ultra autists like the dude who plays Maryo 64 all day just to find a bug or two and then make two hours long video about it, see "pararrel worlds".
>>
>>12141745
Baseless posts can't be refuted, you need arguments, and look who's talking, namecalling like a seething child. Your thread is a failure and your pic is putrid garbage.
>>
PS1 and N64 had solid games respectively. PS1 was way better for sports games than the N64 but exclusives like OOT and Mario were way above PS1 exclusives like FF7. The current day Xbox/Playstation situation is pathetic to how solid the PS1 and N64 exclusive libraries were.
>>
>>12141776
Uh oh tendie boy made a smelly lmao
>>
>>12140439
True, and it's reflective of post quality in general on this board.

That said, while the OP's post is incredible shitty and borderline ban-worthy, I don't necessarily disagree with his point. The N64 did kinda suck. All of gen 5 did.

At the time it was otherwordly, I've never seen anything quite like the N64 in my life.
As soon as dual analogs became the pattern for gaming, you just couldn't touch anything from the console anymore, it just felt like shit.
Just perfect for it's time, but aged like milk.
I still play SM64 from time to time though.

1000% this. i still go back to snes games, but wouldnt bother with n64 slop. the sole exception being mario 64 for the nostalgia and shmoovement, but thats still rare.

At least for people I knew irl, N64 was way more popular overall

All of them were mid FPS with horrible frame rates. the N64 was immediately mogged by the much more powerful Voodoo1 which came out the same month and allowed for 800x600 85Hz.
Quake on PC was superiour to every FPS on the N64 ever combined

I'm not even a jarpig type of guy, but squaresoft alone completely invalidated the N64.
If I had to choose between the best 20 N64 or pic related, pic related all day all night.

the n64 had ocarina of time so it doesnt matter if the ps1 had 10000000 great games.

Also, the PSsingle (PS1? PSX??? You decide) had more than a few good games.

I like Nintendo 64.

The N64 as a console sucked. It had relatively good games but most of the good ones were first or second party.

On a technical level, the PS and Saturn kick the N64 ass to hell
>>
>>12144401
nah, the n64 unironically aged like milk. incredible at the time, kind of like how bronze was an incredible metal at the time, but it really doesnt hold up well.
>>
>>12140429
Yea. True. The console lost hard that generation and was carried by the Game Boy.

However, it has 15-20 great games. So this "winner" /"loser" mentality affects just poor people. Real Chads had PS1, N64 and a PC with Voodoo 2.
