Anyone who still thinks Mario 64 is a good never tried to get 100 coins in Tick Tock Clock

Kill yourself
>>
>>12160051
I remember white knuckling my way through this with the official guide at my side, on a rental copy no less. I swear I'd never do it again after I accomplished it. One of my prouder gaming moments. I wish I had that same insane drive for gaming I did when I was 12.
>>
>>12160054
Why are you so shit? I'm older than you and can easily beat games from when I was a kid in a fraction of the time.
>>
>>12160068
I can beat 8-bit games no problem. Early 3D stuff lacks precision in their controls.
>>
>good game BAD
>because one of the optional courses was too hard for me
You should seek Canadian healthcare, NOW.

SM64 has very good movement precision.

100 coins in hazy maze cave was my least favorite star
>>
>>12160051
I got every star and enjoyed it. I'm replaying it right now in fact. Sorry that you aren't up to the challenge, lil bro.
>>
>>12160051
if picking up coins in a stage you can retry infinitely with no enemies trying to kill you is your idea of hard then wait until you play literally any other game.
>>
>>12160072
mario 64 has super precise controls if you know what you're doing (which you shoud once you get through the last star door)
>>12160080
dire dire docks 100 is my least favorite because there's barely enough and swimming/poles just feel worse than normal platforming
>>
>>12160080
Hazy Mazy Cave in it's entirety is the worst level in the game. They're all a bit shit after the first floor of the castle though.
>>
>>12160051
TTC is one of the high points in Mario 64. It actually requires platforming skills and there are a number of ways to make your ascencion to the upper parts of the level quicker. Im sorry that youre bad at the game OP.
>>

>>12160076
Mario 64 controls like shit and has a lot of issues and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't. I hate the way he shuffles around in place when you just want to turn around, I hate how heavy he feels to just simply move, I hate the unreliable wall jump, I hate the way you get knocked back like getting hit in fucking Castlevania if you jump and simply brush up against a wall, I hate the shitty fucking camera that just tells you "No" when you try to move it the way you want it, it all fucking sucks ass. Also this is one of the only games I have ever played that consistently shits itself for no discernible reason, I don't care that it's an early 3D game, 90% of the time when interacting with a ledge of any kind Mario spasms up and down it for several seconds and usually ends with you falling to your death. Not to mention invisible walls randomly materializing literally out of thin air.

It's okay to like Mario 64, it was revolutionary for the time and set the standard for 3D platformers and basically invented the genre. I am however sick to fucking death of everyone pretending it's this flawless masterpiece and like nothing better has ever come out. It's dated and has a lot of issues. Almost everything else that came after it is better, even just on the N64 itself.

mario cannot be tamed by weak feminine zoomer hands such as yours.

120 stars is a joke compared to GoldenEye cheats and star fox bazooka. You guys suck at videogames.

skill issue
>>
>>12160051
Dire dire docks is way more annoying from what I remember, since that stage barely even has 100 coins in it.
>>
>>12160051
Lol I think I have to agree. Did this earlier this year.
>>
>>12160051
>this game isn't good because I don't win easily
sad!
>>
>>12160051
I did get 100 coins in the clock level and I still think it's a great game.
>>
>>12160192
>I hate the way he shuffles around in place when you just want to turn around,
skill issue, lightly move the stick
>I hate how heavy he feels to just simply move
that's half the appeal. go play any of the floaty mascot platformers that tried to rip off sm64
>I hate the unreliable wall jump
it's reliably 5 frames every time
>I hate the way you get knocked back like getting hit in fucking Castlevania if you jump and simply brush up against a wall,
skill issue, don't bonk
camera and invisible walls are valid complaints though

It’s less tedious than Rainbow Ride’s 100 coins.
>>
>>12160395
The only improvement subsequent Mario games had on controls was making the walljimp more clear and easy to pull off. The walljimp in SM64 does kinda suck ass and doesn't telegraph well. 5 frames is not much to work with
>>
>>12160531
i prefer the challenge of 5 frames, but it is bugged where only the first frame wall kick preserves momentum when it's intended to gradually decrease on each subsequent frame

This, I replayed the game for the All Stars collection on Switch, I got all 120 in an afternoon. Even courses I was dreading like the sky world weren't bad.
>>
>>12160192
All critiques are correct
>>
>>12160192
Don't disagree with any of this, and I even like Mario 64.

I've noticed an odd phenomenon. I feel like early 3D stuff has "aged poorly". It's just all has nagging issues I can't get over. I do not feel this way about 2D games at all. Super Mario Bros feels like a timeless masterpiece to me. 64 just feels sorts of awkward and clunky
>>
>>12160540
Just because you're dog shit at the game doesn't mean it doesn't have good movement controls
>>
>>12160578
I don't even hate the game either but it's insane to me how hard people are willing to die to say the controls and physics are flawless and perfect. I blame speedrunners and the autists that watch them for poisoning every discussion of this game thats taken place over the past 15 years. Retards watch the speedrunners do crazy shit and assume that the controls are just that good and thats how everyone can and should be playing and don't consider that anyone could possibly just be casually playing.

I think proof enough of this insane weird bias Mario 64 fans have is that they will never mention how dogshit the camera is but because its socially acceptable to hate Mario Sunshine theyll openly cry about that games camera even though its fully controllable at all times and never gets stuck on anything and is unquantifiably better than 64. Just ridiculous Mario 64 fans need to grow the fuck up lol.

grandpas having issues with 3d environments

They could have just not made something that sucks

>>12160051
nah, TTC is a top 3 stage for me since it focuses on tight platforming. I always enjoy it. and you can just hop in at midnight if youre a scrub.
>b-but its repetitive
dont care
>>
>>12160192
all valid except complaints except mario having momentum which is objectively better (also why smb1 physics>>>>all the other 2d games)

and its still the best 3d platformer ever made anyway. not even close.

They kinda act like this with the N64 in general. I think it has something to do with the age range someone who uses 4chan nowadays. Like the N64 is in their nostalgic sweet spot or something.
>>
>>12160051
100 coins for the clock and rainbow ride are the best missions in the game
>>
>>12160608
damn bitch why are you crying so hard because a lot of people enjoy something that you can't?
instead of spending your time trying to spread your misery to those unaffected, go find something you like and spread your joy about that

Holy fucking yawn what a meaningless phrase. The game hasn't changed, and the changing expectations of the average player has no bearing on the quality of the game. I beg you, remove this buzzphrase from your vocabulary

unfortunately its real and pretending it isnt just makes you look retarded. I get hit by a few every time I go back to the game. I agree with the anon on some of that stuff and think its okay to critique the game for these things all of you guys jumping in to say hes just bad at the game and is wrong kind of proves his point

I'm pretty sure everyone has gotten 120 stars in this game. Also, don't even remember this section, that's how easy and straightforward it is
>>
>>12161796
why did I just watch a fucking four hour documentary on super mario 64 geometry. how sad has my life become
>>
none of the 120 stars are difficult or annoying in particular, except the wing cap star in the clock room. but theyre all really fun to get. nothing feels annoying or like padding. except that shitty wing cap star. I really wish future 3d marios were like this too, but no. their main campaigns are good but trying to actually 100% them will become an awful chore.

This sounds like someone who has only played the game emulated on some shitty usb controller that wasn’t properly calibrated for the n64 range
>>
>>12160051
Not even that hard, retard. I bet you tried to do 100 coins with the stopped clock
>>
>>12161527

You died which means you lost. Get better.
>>
>>12160051
mario 64 is excellent
t. 100%'d it
>>
>>12162779
I played it on real hardware with a brand new OEM controller. Been going through a ton of N64 games lately and having a blast overall, just Mario 64 is a piece of shit. I genuinely had more fun with Gex 2.
>>
>>12161905
Yes, you dumb negroid.
Is a car still good if its brakes are terrible and can get you killed in an accident?

I 100%ed this game in grade school, stop being a baby OP.

knuckle draggers as far as the eye can see on this site.
>>
>>12160051
Sounds like you’re extra bad at baby video games made for children.
>>
>>12163430
>>12163441
its a garbage analogy. a game can be enjoyable despite a bad section or level, and its purpose is just to entertain, which is subjective. A car must be fully functional to serve its purpose, there is no subjectiveness to it.
>>
>>12160051

That's one of the easier levels to get not even just 100 coins but all coins. It's more Tiny-Huge Island, Lethal Lava Land, Tall Tall Mountain and to a lesser extent maybe Rainbow Ride and Hazy Maze Cave that suck when getting all coins. Getting only 100 coins in any level is braindead easy, OP is gay
>>
>>12160192
The control is fine, it's just momentum. Mario 64 is like swinging a heavy chain around, at first it's hard but once you get the skill and rythmn it feels great and you can do great tricks

The ledge/camera/invisible wall shit is true though
>>
>>12160051
How would that reduce the quality of the game as a whole to the point where it could be considered bad? Your logical argumentation is completely cucked and raped.

Anyway, I did that when I was 10 and I don't even remember doing it.
>>
>>12160051
>Mario 64 is a good
Wow, it's yet ANOTHER shitty jeet ESL garbage thread.
