>play these "amazing" games
>It's just ok

Why the ps1 exclusive library is so underwhelming?

I love the N64 and saturn but damn i have suffered so many disappointement with the ps1

The only exclusive that i really loved was final fantasy vii, amazing game

The other stuff is either mediocre (resident evil, tomb raider, spyro..) or pretty good but not amazing(crash bandicoot, silent hill, metal gear solid..)
>>
>>12234285
PS1 and N64 are both amazing consoles full of classics, the shitturn is the one with no good games
>>
>auster samefagging
>>
>>12234285
As you said you love the Saturn and N64, perhaps 30 years of pent-up bitterness about Sony dominating the industry, putting Sega out of business and condemning Nintendo into a decade of irrelevance subconsciously soured your opinion of it going in? You might consider therapy. Talking helps and allows the healing to start.

that's the worst game on the system

>>12234285
>resident evil, tomb raider
that's not even exclusive you can play resident evil on 64 and tomb raider on saturn you don't even know what you're talking about

What amazing exclusives does the Saturn have?

arcade ports are exclusive because you cant go to the arcade by your house and hog the machine whenever
>>
>>12234418
better than walking sims like oot & ffvii. The true masterpieces of gen 5 are mostly on the saturn and take skill to decipher and play. Even if you're partial to cinematic rpgs saturn has those in droves too

>>
>>12234461
he joins every thread to shill nintendo trash and have a mental breakdown. whatever the system, he's spamming nintendo shit. you could be talking about a microwave oven and the lolcow appears to post about mario or some other trash

>>12234483

hello austerspammer! yeah, your mental breakdown cope posts aren't working. everyone knows who you are now. what a loser.
>>

>implying niche is a bad thing
Stick to pop music, kiddo.
>>
>>12234556
When your lineup consists of niche, it kills your console. The Saturn is the perfect example for that. So just shut up, gramps.
Btw there is no pop music anymore

It did fine in the only country that consistently has the correct opinions on video games.

He asked for good exclusives though, not tranny shit

Because exclusivity is usually a result of kikery.

It's incredible how the schizo just outs himself by just using a buzzword that he made up all because everyone can it's him shitting on the board for years but now he wants to be a revisionist
>>
ps1 is the best jrpg system but everything else is borderline unplayable. imagine having a "3d console" with digital controls for an entire generation. without nintendo we would still be using fucking tank controls. but at least ps1 has good turn based games and some good 2d games, unlike the ps2 which is 100% garbage aside from like a dozen games.
>>
>>12234876
Very poor taste

It get ass raped by the PS1 in that country too
>>

YWNBAJ and we are talking about the same country that worships gacha slop by the way.

>console is fondly remembered because south americans and europoors could actually afford (bootleg) games for it
any other examples of this phenomenon?

tenchu and wipeout alone are better than any other games from that generation desu
psx has the best library of any console after the ps2

That's most 5th gen games across all consoles. Other than Final Fantasy VII and Tactics, all my favorite games during this era were on PC.

>>12234285
>so many amazing exclusive
>Why the ps1 exclusive library is
>so many disappointement
Anyway, I agree with you that the PS1 library is extremely hit or miss. The N64 has a lot fewer games, but the average quality is way higher, and most multiplats play and look better on N64 as well.
>>
>>12235135
>multiplats play and look better on N64
never happened
>>
>>12234285
You had to be there. Jumping from snes to ps1 was revolutionary. Each game graphically superior than the last. Pushing the hardware to its limits.

YOU will never experience this feeling. Quit now
>>
>>12235139
jumping from that thing using a cpu core designed in the 1970s with 16-bit extensions slapped on it to the playstation was like being slapped in the face with a brick. it was shocking how advanced it was - at the time. you really did need to be there to understand that experience of the leap in tech adcancement for the home.
>>
>>12235137
Just look at Mega Man 64 vs Mega Man Legends, that's a prime example. MML is a squiggly, blocky, pixelated mess while MM64 has steady, smooth, visually pleasing graphics.
>>
no one will ever give a fuck about the nogaemz64 pham
just give it up corn syrup bros
>>
play Ape escape and Oddworld my dude.
Hellnight and Echo noght are also pretty neat if you are looking for something slightly niche and don't mind some jank
>>
>>12235159

lol

oddworld was fucking amazing when it was released. still great in current year.

You guys are right but at the same time I feel like that technological leap skewed our perceptions a bit and we were reacting to the novelty as much as the quality.

Like, my friend got Battle Arena Toshinden right out of the gate and we were mesmerized by it. Played it for hours and thought it was amazing. But any time I've gone back to it I've found it slow and plodding. A lot of early 3D titles were like rough drafts that got immediately surpassed by their follow-ups, so there's a kind of incongruity with how we remember their impact on release vs. what they're actually like to play today.

I imagine some of the PS1 library doesn't hit the same now for people trying it for the first time but if you were playing it the first couple years of the PS1's existence it was fucking amazing. Zoomers will never understand
>>
>>12235193
This is exactly why OoT is overrated as fuck, just a bunch of boomers that played it before games like Morrowind existed

there was some of that but it was a geniune wtf ain't seen shit like this since i went to the arcade kind of experience as well.
>I imagine some of the PS1 library doesn't hit the same now for people trying it for the first time
i wouldn't expect them to experience what we experienced. they're used to seeing graphics in 4k at 100hz+ with billions of polygons rendered every second
>if you were playing it the first couple years of the PS1's existence it was fucking amazing
it really was. i have a lot of fond memories of it when it was first released.

What is an "austerspammer"? I see it on /vr/ all the time and can't figure it out. What does auster mean? It doesn't seem like an English word.

Probably, just by virtue of it having no gaems though. What matters more now is probably the number of good gaems. But back then people were buying tons of shovelware but everyone probably had at least one truly great N64 game.
>>
>>12234285
will americans ever stop seething at the mere existence of sony? if you ask the average euro normie they didn't even know that the saturn, n64, dreamcast and gamecube even EXISTED, on the other hand amerimutts can't go a day without shitting on games they didn't play and have no intentions of playing
>>
>>12235395
singletrac and naughty dog are from america though therefore twisted metal and crash are american....
>>
>has since gone on to rape and humiliate the ps3 in sales

Never happened

PS3:87 millions
Wii:101 millions

A mere 16% difference

Raping is like more than 3× time the sales like PS1 vs N64 and turbo raping is more than 10× time like Saturn vs PS1
>>
>sales numbers
>>
>>12235395
Americans get really mad when you mention no one gives a fuck about Xbox outside of their home country
>>
>>12235395
muhammed, this might be hard for you to understand, but americans can afford more than one console.

Yeah there is South Park and Armorines lol

Hexen and Duke Nukem 3D/64 also play and look better on N64

also Rayman 2 has a bit more content on N64 compared to PSX I think
