Why are they so fondly remembered when the PS1 and PS2 sold so much more?
>>12576019Nostalgia from religious household middle class kids
Better libraries that reflected the zeitgeist.
>>12576019Because on PS2 you remember the games. not the console. I'm nostalgic for Metal Gear Solid 2, Ratchet & Clank and Final Fantasy X. I couldn't give less of a shit about the box that made it possible.
Why is it so fondly remembered when Rugrats: Search for Reptar sold more?
>>12576019Sony didn't create a cult of manchildren around it. That's on top of Sony retiring IPs instead of milking them for 30+ years.
>>12576019PlayStation games represent a higher artistic and design caliber that is alienating to people who solely recognize games based on brands not on their actual merits.If you're going back to play Mario it's because it's Mario. He's red and blue and you recognize that. If you're going back to play Abe's Odyssey or Tony Hawk 2 it's because they resonate with you on a deep level. Same with Sega games except Sonic.
I love Nintendos interconnectivity gimmicks. Like how you're able to hook up your Pokemon cartridge to the N64 and battle with your 'mons in that Stadium game, or how the Gamecube has an adapter that lets you play GBA games. I think it's clever, and no other game company has that vibe with their consoles. I guess the VMU on the Dreamcast comes close.
These threads just expose that you live in a bubble. That or you're coping and trying to change history.
>the eventual insecure self-affirmation nintendo boy thread They are so pathetic
>>12576019PS1 and PS2 are like The Simpsons, N64 and GameCube are like Family Guy.Earlier was objectively much more successful and popular all over the world in it's day, but the latter was REALLY popular in america and is extremely memeable, so people online look back on it more often.
>>12576019They had soul.
>>12576019You really had to try and sneak the Gamecube in there
>>12576019A sizable number of influencers, Youtubers, etc that were passionate about video games, made a lot of content, and gained audiences online were Nintendo fanboys growing up and probably got shit on for it and their narratives reflect that.Being fanboys, they tend to be revisionist whether they realize it or not, over-emphasizing and minimizing the roles certain consoles and games played. Then wider audiences of people regurgitate what they heard from fanboys.This kind of revisionism is most notable with Gamecube I'd say. N64 was regionally popular in its prime. It's like the American equivalent to the Mega Drive in Britain.
>>12576019Because the people who DID have them enjoyed them? Are you retarded in real life or something, how do you struggle to conceptualize this?
>>12576029youtube narrative, nobody knew about that game before 2007, maybe just one thousand people around the world, I can I assure, that NO MAGAZINE IN WHOLE EUROPE cited SOTN in their TOP10 or top20 from 1997 to 2004 LIKE NEVER EVER. Look: >>12549418
>>12576019I was a Mormon kid who grew up with N64 and GameCube, plus GBC and GBA. My Catholic and Christian friends had them too. My white non-church friends had Xbox, while the niggers, spics and weeabos faggots had PS2. Weird, right?
>>12576019Super Mario 64 outsold everysingle Playstation game
>>12576373The PlayStation came with no game included, but each N64 included Wahoo 64.
>>12576019if you were a kid when psx was out, you probably remember the horrible loading, lack of controller ports for all your friends, and knock off platformers shittier than what n64 had. you probably werent playing any of the good games aimed at adult audiences. now as an adult you remember n64 fondly while psx is shitesame for ps2, plus for many families it was just the dvd player
>>12576025Lmao
>>1257636293 Metacritic Top 10 PS1 metacritic
>>12576019I can tell you are a close minded Sony fanboy. The reality is that the N64 and Gamecube had great games that weren't on the PS1 or PS2. The same goes for Dreamcast and Saturn, they had great games that weren't on a PS1 or PS2. Not everyone is a fucking robot buying one console from one brand. Sometimes there's console gamers who own more than one console and more than one brand of console. Gamers like myself had a Genesis and a SNES. A Saturn, PS1 and N64. A Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube and Xbox. Why? Because unlike you, I keep an open mind and experience gaming on any platform.
>>12576396your precious "internet scores" and your precious metacritic didn't existe or nobody cared about that between 1996 - 2008.
>>12576398>I keep an open mind and experience gaming on any platformLiterally a poser mindset.PS1 and PS2 have too many games to be experienced, making any other console trivial.It took me 2 months to finish FFX back then, playing roughly 3 hours a day. Even if I decided to own all the consoles, it would logically be impossible to have time to play them all. And considering the number of great PS2 games released every month, yes, other consoles had no place on any player's schedule.
>>12576414Metacritic was founded in 2001 and already big enough to be bought out by CNET by 2005. Shut the fuck up, retard.
>>12576034This plus the fact that those Playstation IPs eventually ended up officially playable elsewhere whereas the GCN and N64 titles were locked to those cheap plastic prisons until NSO or the occasional remake
>>12576431You're only poser here. I love experience exclusive games, which Sega, Nintendo and even Microsoft had in spades. Most of the games on a PS2, could be found on other consoles such as Dead Or Alive 2(Dreamcast), RE4(Gamecube) and Metal Gear Solid 2(Xbox). The best versions of non-exclusives, ended up on Xbox(especially Splinter Cell or games with custom soundtracks).Sorry but your mind is too closed, like a normal brainwashed fanboy.
>>12576491Bro... for every worthwhile game on the xbox, there was at least 10 on the PS2.
Why is it so fondly remembered when Croc sold so much more?
>>12576498>10 on the PS2Let me guess...licensed slop? Boring RPG's? Think I'll pass on that.
It's easy to 'fondly remember' what you never play, especially when it's filtered through nintendo's dutiful youtube rabbis.
>>12576092OOT, MM, WW, Baten Kaitos, Crystal Chronicles are on the same “artistic level” as MGS, FF7/8, etcMario 64 is artistic by sheer technical prowess meeting conceptual vision
>>12576019embarrassing sony manchild thread
>>12576019>be American millennial>live in cozy upper-middle class area>soccer mom buys you a Nintendo 64 because The 700 Club told her that PlayStation games have blood>parents can also afford you to buy the entire Rareware library>since you are rich and American, your family are also early adopters of the internet>lo and behold, everyone else online is also a rich American from a Nintendo 64 household>Ocarina group masturbation session ensues>The internet universally agrees that ReDeads are the scariest things ever invented because none of you ever played Silent Hill>Internet gaming culture is built upon the idea that everyone owned a Nintendo 64 and everyone agrees Ocarina of Time is unambiguously the best game ever made>Fast forward 20 years>Euros, Aussies, and working class Americans are now online>You find out that the Nintendo 64 absolutely fucking bombed outside of middle America and nobody gives a fuck about Ocarina of Time>Even in the US the N64 was massively outsold by the PS1, let alone abroad>Persecution complex ensues
>>1257643143 year old boomer here. I’ve never been a big JRPG fan, so my Cube got way more play compared to my PS2 back then. Similarly, the N64 never really clicked with me because I’m not a fan of Rare’s platformers.
>>12576362
What causes this?
>>12576763Foreigners don’t count. This board and 4chan in general should be viewed from the perspective of North America first and foremost.
>>12576773PS1 outsold N64 in North America.
>>12576750Plus, the PS2 was a major normie console. Yeah, FFX sold a lot, but so did EA Sports titles.
>>12576778Yes, but NA was by far the primary market for the N64.
>>12576019
>>12576781The primary console in NA was still the PS1.
>>12576780And GTA. Just like today, PlayStation exclusives are never the best sellers. It’s always GTA/Madden/FIFA/Gran Turismo.
>>12576787Your point being? Nintendo exclusives sell Nintendo consoles. The same can’t be said for Sony exclusives.
>>12576796Wind Waker clearly didn't move that many GameCubes, never mind that Gran Turismo, Squaresoft games, Tekken, et cetera were absolutely massive.
>>12576817The GameCube was not a big success, but the PS2 was a major normie console. Yeah, the stuff you listed sold well, but so did Madden 2004 and such.
>>12576821It’s like when /v/ used to refer to the PS4 as a Bloodborne machine. Bloodborne was not even remotely close to being one of the top selling games on that console. Nerd culture websites like 4chan generally don’t represent reality.
>normal people play games, grow up and move on.... occasionally return to replay their favorite childhood games>nintendos kept playing games, idolize it and can't let it go like they are still childrenExplain this to me
>>12576902Holy crap. I can tell that fat ugly Nintendrone is an incel. Thankfully I'm a Sega Chad.
>>12576763We need to make people stop liking Nintendo.At all costs.
>>12576431If you actually liked the PS2, you wouldn't sully its memory with such an awful-looking pic.
>>12576019did.... you seriously start a thread by asking why people derived an emotional response from something other than a statistically objective statement of fact?
>>12576019because the gamechad had melee and shitted all over every ps2 game
>>12577080>awful>another anti-AI concept art retardGrow up
>>12577156Good morning, sir!
>>12576725Im the exact group you are talking about and literally all of those kids had ps1s as well you fucking retard.
playstation had quantity and 64/cube had quality, its pretty simple. quantity wins out at first but over time no one cares about a bunch of 6/10 slop and only the true classics endure, and theres nothing on brownstation as good as mario64/oot/melee/fzero gx etc.
>>12576019Because they were played with friends, anon. Friendships and memories were built on them.I have one good social gaming memory a - playing goldeneye at a packed party in jr high. The rest of my social gaming was before that playing NES, SNES, and c64 in a trailer with a couple other kids while camping for a couple summers. By the time game cube came about I had shelved the hobby in favor of weed, girls and guitar and made friends that way - my gaming dry spell lasted from the start of high school for about a decade. But I know lots of people have made friends with the GameCube and playing smash.Can't really say the same about PS1.That said, I have never enjoyed a GC game not even smash. Every time some passed me a controller to play a game cube game it either bored me or just plain failed to hold my interest. It was never anything that actually looks cool like Wind Waker it was always like donkey Kong country or smash or the Lord of the rings games.
>>12577284N64 has like 7 good games total. The PlayStation has dozens.
>>12577321Yet it's enough to blow the entire 4000+ PS1 library the fuck out
>>12577319>all these textPure liesHere in Europe everybody played psx "a dobles" that means multiplayer, we had hundreds of mutliplayer games: tekkens, bust a moves, soulblade, fifas, ridge racers, colin mcraes, gran turismo, bolas de dragon, NBAlive games, isspros, street fighters, etc...
>>12577321>The PlayStation has dozens.it has jrpgs and thats it. outside of that genre 64 rapes it unless you think tank controls and cutscenes are the peak of gaming.
>>12577339absolutely no one cares about irrelevant PALpoors however
>>12577156>actually defending ai slopwow sonyfags are really this desusional arent they?
>>12576019Nintendochads played. Snoys consoomed.
PlayStation is much more popular than the N64
>>12577405Amigo...
>>12577395Stop being a contrarian.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtnt84CDP-s
>>12577141This, and Smash 64 was better than pretty much every game on the PS1 combined if you had friends in 1999.
>>12576725>Nintendo was for affluent whites and PlayStation was for poor browns Nice self-owning pasta, retard.
>>12576019My memory of the gamecube is very much skewed in nostalgia because I grew up with it, but it had so many great games despite the console itself being a commercial failure and not attracting any notable 3rd parties. It was a blend of pretty impressive games like Luigi's Manshion showcasing what the console could do, awesome aesthetics and fun gameplay like Mario Sunshine, ambitious games like RE4 that would completely change how their respective franchises's games would be designed from then on, overall at least to me the gamecube is a very soulful console even with it's many flaws and imperfections and I wouldn't have it any other way.
>>12576019Non sequitur
>>12577554>and not attracting any notable 3rd partiesOverall, I’d say third party multiplat support on GameCube was a big improvement over the N64 days.
>>12577559I mostly mean it from a modern perspective, for the time it was definitely not as dry as the N64 was.
>>12576019tons of killer exclusives like pokemon, zelda, mario. better load times
>>12577549You mean Nintendo was for sheltered evangelical fags while PlayStation was for the down to earth working class Anglo-Saxon?
>>12577667I do associate PlayStation with gross chav types, yes.
>>12577730What footy games would they have?
My only friend who had a gamecube was a very weird little guyRaised by a single mother, his room was full of toys, Gamecube games were everywhere, but he was so negative and almost never smiled.He committed suicide a few years later.What if he had a ps2 like everyone else... maybe he would still be with us. Maybe a rpg character would have inspired him to new perspectives
>>12577834Yeah I’m sure he would’ve been much better off playing faggy weeb games. Sounds like he saved himself some time.
>>12577730Sports game guys are definitely cooler and have better taste than you.
>>12577851I can’t stand bongs and aussies. The hate for them is absolutely justified.
>>12577807All of them, except they’d be burned CD-Rs scattered around and probably covered in a layer of cigarette ash.
>>12576019Ps1/2 were the normie consoles. Yeah they had loads of good game, but the majority of people who had them as a kid grew up to not care about vidya as more than a casual
>>12576362i can hear the tears flowing as you're typing this kek
>>12577465>>12577156you are brown lol
>>12578252Legit. Brown people worship AI because they think it will make them white.
>>12577156All I said is that it looked awful, which it does. If you were an actual sapient human, you'd understand.
Nintendo fans dominate online discussion. This is like asking why /v/ is obsessed with tons of games that don't even have a 1/10th of the sales of Madden/Fifa, etc. There's certain games that people online drift towards and they pretend this means the games are fondly remembered because they and their pals like to talk about them. When in the main gaming discussion, they're completely forgotten,
>>12578419Those games are boring and uninteresting to go back to while Nintendo games are timeless, there is a reason retro Nintendo games are sought after and Madden 94 is dirt cheap.
I had all 3 consoles of each genI generally liked my gamecube games more than my ps2 games but the ps2 games I did like were really heavy hitters like metal gear and devil may cry
>>12576725God, this board is shit now, I miss when there were jannies to clean up this retarded faggot trash.
>>12576763Mental illness primarily, and lack of moderation secondarily.
>>12578465how do you know madden 94 isn't good? did you play it
>why are 4 player partygame consoles remembered fondly?For the exact reason that mariokart gives better items to last place.
>>12576019>Nintendie baits out replies from other NintendiesWell done OP
>>12576019its ok to have fun and like things.
>>12578676You gotta work on your reading comprehension, anon.
>>12576019They had more sovl. PlayStation was the first normie console.
