Got in an argument with my stupid coworker today:
>at lunch
>someone brings up the N64
>my ears perk up
>aforementioned coworker says how DK64 is his favourite N64 game of all time
>I tell him how much people say it’s an awful game
>he actually insists it was really fun
>I try explaining how it was just a tedious broken game design and is widely considered to be a bland and overly long collectathon
>he rolls his eyes and starts to ignore me
He really didn’t get it, how do you deal with people who don’t care to talk about actual game design?

You don't have a job and my reply to you here is the closest you have come to having a conversation in months.

You are based and correct. Your coworker is wrong and cringe. Simple as.
>>
Did you try screeching at him, and rolling on the floor flapping your arms?
That usually helps change their mind.
>>
Should have told him that the N64 itself is a bad console, that he got brainwashed by evil nintendo cultists that made him think that its good and that he should start playing shmups on the Saturn or japanese-only PSX games instead.

I wish this was a real story. The idea of a /vr/etard trying to tell a normie to stop having fun is hilarious.
>>
>>12229339
>people say
This was your mistake. You should have stood your ground and said YOU don't like it instead of appealing to consensus like a weakling.

>>12229339
well, if this actually happened, you're an idiot and any sane person would ignore you.
>>
>>12229339 But you see, if you play this game in one sitting it's a boring slog! It doesn't matter that it was designed in the age where average kid had one or two games per year so a game that you can literally replay over and over for hundred hours and always find something new would be a treasure. Zoomie brain needs instant dopamine NOW.
At least it's 4/3 so you can fit a vertical Subway Surfers gameplay on third of the screen.

Back in our days we had real trolls, you couldn't even begin to tell who was the troll trolling the troll, who was getting trolled, and who was genuinely retarded. Not like these half hearted attempts you can see a miles away.

And people didn't need to pull obvious and desperate samefags to pretend their bait hooked neither.

>NOOOO STOP ENJOYING THINGS YOU LIKE!!
>THE INTERNET TOLD ME THIS GAME IS BAD!! YOU CANT POSSIBLY ENJOY IT
>NO, I HAVENT PLAYED IT!!
this is why no one likes you. youre the worst kind of internet retard except you actually expose people in the real fucking world to your mental illness. I really hope this is just bait.

I know this is a shitpost, but it does make me glad to be a NEET. I have a really hard time keeping my mouth shut, so I'd probably embarrass myself saying similar things quite often.

99.99% of old games are "bad" by modern standards. That's nothing new.
>>
>>12229339
Like everyone else said I'm sure this is a bait post but I genuinely have talked to people like this and it's insufferable so it could have actually happened. "Everyone says that game sucks so you're retarded if you like it" is probably the worst argument of all time. There are so many great games out there that have had their reputation obliterated by some stupid fucking youtube video, one that's usually 15+ years old by this point, when in reality they're just fine and usually pretty fucking good actually. For example there are plenty of games featured on AVGN that are actually pretty decent like McKids and I think the Virtual Boy and its games are cool. Form your own opinion, parroting others in your echo chamber is pathetic. Turns out the majority of the population on this planet has crap taste, look at what sells these days against all odds. Don't listen to anybody.

Hell, I even think needing to play a game first to have valid thoughts on it is a bit bullshit too, you can look at uncommentated gameplay and trailers and shit and come to a conclusion that you would like or dislike something too. Sure, if you do actually play it you can form a better argument with more defined talking points but it's not always necessary. Just as long as you're thinking original thoughts man you're not a robot for fucks sake.

>I tell him how much people say it’s an awful game
So you don't actually have own experiences and argued from those of others?

>>12229339
Key word is fun.... if its fun for him why the fuck do you have to dictate whats fun for him. Your as deserves to be ignored.
>>
>>12229342
Extremely based

>>12229339
bait aside, this is genuinely how newly-employed zoomers are "discussing" retro games in the workplace
>i heard people don't like that game
>well i heard my favorite e-celeb liked it
>well i saw a screenshot of the dialogue and it seemed poorly written
>well i watched a full playthrough and the story was great
>well i watched a 6-hour retrospective that said it was bad
>well it received high scores on metacritic
>>
This thread just makes me want to play DKC1. How good is online play on emulators? Could we arrange a competition mode run for next weekend?
