doesn't rope either, figures

Morrowind came out before you got into what genre? RPGs? How casual can you be

Emulators are good enough for speedrunning but not good enough for the guy to get owned at his favorite games. Reasons, reasons and more reasons.

I've used Dolphin, and even though it's mostly HLE (higher speed/lower accuracy), It's still much better than current HLE N64 emulators. This may just be a matter of more dedicated developers, but it may also be due to the N64's unique architecture and the way some N64 games were developed, especially games by Factor 5, Rareware, and Boss Studios (i.e., close to the metal)

Oh shut the hell up dude. People do speedrunning on emulators, Mario 64, Super Mario World. On ROM hacks too. OOOOH it plays so differently I can't handle it. Stop the bullshit. If you don't want me to own you at Nintendo games that's ok, no excuses needed, I'm not going to play Unreal f@#!ing Tournament either lol.

Care to elaborate?

the games you speak of, they're all games average children can complete. You also don't play two of the most competitive genres ever because "reasons". Totally awful at WA too by the looks of it. You're an Elder's Scroll super fan for god's sake.

All this talk had me download Skyward Sword yesterday, I think the only Zelda I haven't played or completed, I wish I could have skip the first one or two hours of the game because I couldn't even get myself to sit through all that awkward and retarded Nintendo hand holding. I have no idea how people can still play this shit after a certain age. Besides those who have failed to grow up or have nostalgia of a better time, when they were just a kid and not yet a failure. It's as if Nintendo has realized its current fanbase is just not very intelligent. I just couldn't handle it, and that's something, since ALTTP is my favorite game of all time.

Walrus is right though. It is a pretty shitty card if it can't run games up to the Wii at full speed.

Full accuracy is a different thing but it really doesn't make much of a gameplay difference (it might in some specific games). It's mostly about preservation. I've had high level hot seat SSBrawl games on the PC and we've played it no problem and no differences that we could appreciate.

@TheExtremist, you're casul buddy

if you want to present an opinion you should argument both sides, otherwise you're just sprouting random facts while making it look like you're making a point

Quote from: TheKomodo
I always enjoyed feel good games like Zelda/Mario/Donkey Kong Country/Sonic etc...

With awesome epic and cheesy music, nice interesting warming animations, fun characters, stuff that makes you laugh and smile!

nostalgia is cute

Quotepeople whistle and beatbox classic N64 songs

and there's an ongoing final fantasy orchesta, what's your point? you're clearly only looking at one side of the picture, and pretty awfully too

the best part about the PSX was every month demos CD with your favorite videogame magazine

Not much to reply to in that post...

QuoteSeriously, just put out your list of great sub-masterpiece PS1 games, and let the people decide.

Why? Who said anything about master pieces? I claimed the PS1 had more good games than the N64, there's two links in my last post proving the statement, are you ready to challenge that or you're going to keep changing the terminology to suit your argumentation?

QuoteI guess you didn't hear the part where I don't emulate consoles anymore

N64 runs on browsers and phones. Emulating it for online play is easy as shit unless you're a cyberboor who plays shooters with gamepads. "Halo game of your choosing". What are you? a cross-breed between a nintendofag and a xboxican hating on the PSX? My god

QuoteMario Kart 8 doesn't demand a lot of skill

Lmao. You're a surface gamer (a housewife with steam). Please stop embarrasing yourself.

I don't want to generalize but f@#!ing hell:

Nintendo fanboy - check
Haloican - check
Computer iliterate - check
Plays FPS with gamepad - check
Sucks terribly at fighting games - check
Thinks you only need some bare stat knowledge and grind to be succesful at Pokemon - check

You're what we call here in Spain an "I-want-but-I-can't"

You can't stand MOBAs either amirite? Probably play Smite some, LOL. This is how I roll

Still, quite impressive that N64 almost pulled off as many 90+ games as the PSX with 1/6th of their games.
Oh btw, another big MINUS for N64 were the game prices, PSX games were 99DM (before EURO), N64 were up to 149 DM in some cases, lowest around 119. You always payed more for N64 than for PSX. At least in Germany.

At the end of the day PSX was revolutionary in how easy it was to develop for it. The toolkit, the jump to CD (also fits in a PC), how cheap it was... all that meant that basically anyone could make a game for it. There are really bizarre examples of this, similar to the APPstores of today where you can find truly epìc shits.

The N64 was a different story, not only did it have a much smaller market share and it was more expensive to develop for it meant that people weren't willing to take as many risks unless it was a very experienced company or a sure bet. This is also one of the reasons why most of their best games are made by Nintendo or have a strong collaboration with the parent company.

The Extremist, the N64 released less than 300 games here in Europe. The PSX more than 2.000

The PSX had more good games than the N64, period. You think Banjo Kazooie has more depth than Dragon Warrior? You where born in the 2000s? Good for you. That doesn't give you the right to dismiss facts. Have a good one.

I'm done fiddling with emulators (at least until CEN64 is done...), but I'll happily challenge you to a few matches in Perfect Dark XBLA (even though I don't like the port for a lot of reasons). ^_^

Hmm, I loved Goldeneye / Perfect Dark and I wonder, if you guys were to take on a challenge against each other, would you be interested in streaming it for charity? I'd donate about £50 if you guys took it seriously, wonder if anyone else would chip in?

Seeing his hate for PSX games (for reasons), the way he went out of his way to declare himself an Elder Scrolls fanboy (Souls games >>>>>) and the general way in which he speaks videogames; I don't think the poor soul stands the slightest of chances in a FPS. Plus Goldeneye 1v1 sucks, not to mention it's been too long and I don't know the maps in detail anymore. We can do Mario Kart or SSB through an emulator, forget about the money though, I'm happy enough beating a Nintendo fanboy at Nintendo games. We can even do Pokemon.

Quote from: Anubis on August 05, 2016, 01:27 PM
dunno why you two are arguing about which is better

I'm not. I made a statement: the PSX had a bigger catalog of great games. He's been trying to debate it with mediocre attempts at dismissing half of PSX's legendary sagas with some of the most colorful points I've ever read. And I'm sure you know what colorful means.

It's ridiculous. And the difference between me and the guy is that whilst his mom didn't allow him to have a PSX because of the blood, I have all those N64 games he speaks about, including guns, rumblepacks, wheels and that random 3D expansion that came with DK. I'm probably a bigger fan than he is. Probably can hand his ass to him in Goldeneye, any Pokemon generation or smash bros. The difference is the "boy" part, I'm a fan, not a fanboy.

I'm sorry but that list is mediocre, I already listed a bunch of AAA games you dismissed for retarded reasons such as "Tekken is poor man's Street Fighter", yet you not include SF either hah.

If you think having Final Fantasy there and not having FF Tactics, the Dragon Warriors, Vagrant Story etc, makes any sense?... or having Tomb Raider and not having Crash Bandicoot? Having GT but not having Ridge Racer, (or GT2). And then claim you could add plenty more for the n64? please dude, what you gonna add? Diddy Kong Racing?

Your dismissal of games based on their graphical power or the way their models look is also nerve breaking considering Nintendo is only alive thanks to their handheld market of pseudo 3d pikachus

Look at that post, a bunch of trivial reasons for the dismissal of great games just because you apparently don't like fighting, jrpgs, sport and action games

it's like me saying the N64 had a bunch of samey plataformers and party games. But I've actually played those games, so I would never make such a simploid claim.

it's ridiculous, you're basically a pokemon

QuoteCome on. In terms of influence, the N64 had the analog stick first, rumble first, 3D platforming first, and paved the way for FPSes on consoles. PS1 had Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid. Influential, yes, but not earth-shatteringly so.

What? CD, Dual Analog, Memory Cards, PocketStation, DVD player, Vertical stack, Movement controls, PSX RIP,  Hard Drive, HD,  PS+,  Remote Play, Share Play.

It's not even close.

Quote
And as for big guns:

PS1

Resident Evil
Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy
Gran Turismo
Tomb Raider
Twisted Metal
Crash
Spyro
Castlevania
JRPGs-a-plenty

Only the first five in that list were real game-changers, and they were, in order:

Violent
Gritty
Ugly-as-sin, but propped up by FMV
Slow simulation racing
Ugly-as-sin, not propped up by FMV

The rest was mostly sports games and shovelware.

The N64 might've not had much just for adults, but it had lots of titles that appealed to all ages, as well as a few good FPS, fighting, and sports titles. And if you want big guns:

Super Mario 64
Mario Kart 64
GoldenEye 007/Perfect Dark
Banjo-Kazooie
Ocarina Of Time/Majora's Mask
Super Smash Bros.
Star Fox 64
Star Wars games

the f@#! is this list? Where is Tekken? Soul Calibur? Why are JRPGS all in the same line? To make it seem like less? Why don't you group up 3d plataformers too? Or you just wanted to leave out Dragon Quest (easily on the level of FF) saga and the fact there were more Final Fantasies than Marios or Zeldas (yet you mention both zeldas as an exception? What about the revolutionary Tony Hawk? Driver? Silent Hill? Parasite Eve? The beginning of incredible sports sagas like the Madden games, the PES and the FIFAS. This was the time when they still showed up in Nintendo machines, and stopped doing so. What about Tom Clancy? The Needs for Speeds. Amazing nitpicking really... "star wars games".. lol

Look, the playstation had more great games, the numbers aren't even close. You mentioned all the N64 had to offer and missed on half the catalogue of the PS1. You nitpicked mentioning either sagas or individual titles where it fit you, it's ridiculous and childish. PS sagas had plenty more games than N64's... Tenchu, Persona, Valk Profile, Time Crisis, Syphon Filter, Grandia, Rally games, Wipeout, Vagrant Story, Street Fighters, GTA 2, Chrono Cross, Ape Scape, Ridge Racer, Soul Reaver... For f@#!s sake lol, the ratio is ridiculous. Where the top n64 on the same level and sometimes even better than the PS1 AAA titles? Sometimes. But the PS1 dwarfs the N64 in great games. How can this even be an argument when it's basically pop culture? Are you guys millennials or something? The N64 f@#!ing died mid way through the generation for f@#!'s sake. It lost its own generation war and died early. Because it didn't have games. I remember it got to a point where I had basically played all good n64 games and had to try weird shit like Quest 64 and Mischief Makers, not bad games at all, but sorry, no comparison in numbers.

Quote
And without a doubt, the N64 owned PS1 in terms of hardware:

Fast-loading, durable cartridges
Texture filtering (to prevent blockiness)
Perspective correction (to prevent texture warping in free-camera games)
Four built-in controller ports
Expansion Pak

True.

Quote
Only drawbacks were a lack of CD audio and FMV, but they weren't greatly missed. The system had great in-engine cutscenes and great MIDI music.

CD audio wasn't greatly missed? god bless fanboyism

Yes indeed @TheKomodo, Sony are the Beatles of videogaming.

Quote from: Anubis on August 03, 2016, 01:29 PM
The only reason to buy a console is to play their exclusives, you can play all multi platform on a PC with a joypad on your coach if you choose, that argument went out the window long time ago. And in regards of exclusives, Nintendo is the go-to machine. Not because the other consoles don't have any, but because Nintendo has more unique and innovative ones. It's pretty reasonable to compare Dark Souls with Bloodborne, but you will not be able to compare Splatoon, Pikmin etc. with anything really. Again, I am only talking exclusives vs. exclusives. I don't care about the power/features/graphics of a console because it's irrelevant with a PC in my room.

You're saying that because you can play Dark Souls in every machine (except Nintendo ones) Pikimin  is better than Bloodborne? That's a creative.

I guess Splatoon is also better than Mario 64 because Ratchet and Clank or Spyro the dragon?

Quote from: HHC on August 03, 2016, 12:20 AM
My bro had about 7 games on his before he ran out of space lol. I must have about 40 games installed on my PS3 and i dont think im even close.

This is done to cut loading times. They would be terrible without installed data.

But 7 games? Really? Pretty amazing feat, did he get 20 DLCs per game or something? Also, this isn't a PS4 thing, it's progress, you'll be installing everything not long from here.

Donkey Kong saga in the snes was one of my favorites games ever, at the time. Now, in retrospect, it's pretty shitty, gameplay wise, even for the time.

Quote from: TheKomodoTbh the only good game i've seen for PS4/Xbox One

GTA V, Witcher 3, Last of Us Remaster, Uncharted 4, MGS 4, Fallout 4, Dark Souls 3, Overwatch, Dragon Age Inquisition. Oh, and let us not forget, Blood f@#!ing borne. Only for the PS4 and candidate for game of the year every year until this year. FIFA, PES, NBA2K, F1, UFC. Can't do sports on nintendo either.

I play those games in PC, of course. The PC is the best console in all aspects, all things considered and no exceptions. But there has to be a second best after the Windows machine.
