I was given "a" game by my mom but didn't know what to get. Whatever I wanted was out of sale, I could have bought Goldeneye, but didn't. I got bomberman. Lol

Oh, but I did preorder OOT with the gold cart from KB Toys so it's all good.

Oh, no wait, it was that Goldeneye was sold out and they had TUROK but I got bomberman.

Kojima chose the top down camera in MGS3 because the 3D one made him sick, and that wasn't an early 3D game it was a fucking 2004 game.

Idk why people feel the need to shit on OoT or claim it's the peak of gaming. It's certainly one of the best examples ever of an evolutionary leap in gaming, but it's very dated. Similar to SM64, it's got flaws but A/B'ing them to what came before and after in their series is legit mind-blowing.
I replayed the PC port last year, and it held up, but I also have a lot of nostalgia for it and MM.

I think its one of those things that have to be experienced in their era is the thing.

The overrated part I think comes from the fact that, forever typical of nintenfags, it was their first time experiencing something like it. Its not that it's groundbreaking in any way. It's 3D world isn't the most immersive or alive at all, but it was for children with an N64.

I still think it's a great game though. It has an atmosphere that's all it's own and above everything it actually feels like an adventure, not a game. Its cryptic enough to make you think and it's controls are dated pretty bad yet they're perfect for exploring it's dungeons. It all works together really well to feeling like a hero going on a life changing journey and the game asks for just enough of a challenge to give you that feeling like it had been a meaningful journey by its end. When I beat Dark Souls 1 for the first time, I had a similar feeling. I didn't feel like I just beat some game and saw the ending, I felt like I'd been on a journey, like I'd just returned home and wanted to tell others about it.

You can play it now but I think it's hard to get those feelings unless you're extremely patient with old games and are willing to let yourself be lost

people have come to recognize that the 3d adventure genre is surprisingly limited, and there really aren't that many games that could truly claim to best nintendo's effort in 1997 without being something that's effectively apples to oranges in comparison I.E. stat driven economy sims.

America has totally warped discourse of video games. PS1 and PS2 were topdogs of their era but if you spoke to some Ameriboomer you'd think N64 ruled the world and the top 5 greatest games of all time were bing bing wahoo 64, bing bing wahoo in cars, two legend of zelda games and probably even dk64

It's a great game, nothing much more to say. It's probably signal boosted massively because it was one of the first, it was probably a lot of older people who play games introducing to gaming and it did it better than a lot of modern games.

Nah, it might not be YouTube but early online discourse was DOMINATED by burgers, most of which had an N64 over a PS1 being the only nation in the world that fell for the brand meme, OoT's status in the general history vidya discourse derives entirely from that

I guess Nintendo was basically a synonym for 'video games' in the United States in the late '90s and early '00s. In my homeland, it was the other way around: PlayStation was, and still is, synonymous with video games.

The FF trilogy and MGS1 alone are already four games. You're seriously saying there was no other good videogame for the console? No Crash, no Spyro, no Tomb Raider, no Resident Evil, no Parasite Eve, no Abe's Oddysee, no Klonoa, no Silent fucking Hill, so on and so forth?

If you played PC games back in the eighties and nineties like Kojima did, OoT isn't that special at all. However, if you were a consolefag, I can understand the hype, it's a very good game.

When analyzing the game last year, I found that Sekiro uses almost the exact same camera system, 20+ years later. Gaming has not really “evolved” past OOT

I believe so, I think the idea of "best games of all time" is an American phenomenon, since the N64 is extremely overrated there.
Also note how people who overvalue Ocarina of Time like to create this idea that video games were in their infancy at that time, as if Ocarina had come into a world where no one knew how to make games or something, and this kind of view can only come from someone whose entire experience with the medium is limited to the microscopic world of the Nintendo 64, where Ocarina of Time really does stand out, but only because that's a cultural desert when it comes to games. Someone whose gaming experience is exclusively the N64 is like a literary expert who only knows the works of writers from Uganda or something...

The Saturn library is far superior to that of the N64, but much of it never left Japan, so you won't see a culture heavily influenced by Americans valuing it. That will only happen in the long run.
In 50 years, no one will still believe that the N64 was superior to the Saturn, because all those autists who grew up playing those pieces of shit N64 games will be dead, and the only way to form an opinion on the matter will be by making a factual comparison of the games.
By the way, the N64 will be compared to failed consoles like the 3DO when people look at its library objectively. It will be a 3DO with a few good Nintendo games, and that's it.

The games were very expensive literally like $120 in todays money so most of the time people have fond memories of renting games that were usually really bad. You can't really argue that games like Star Fox 64, Paper Mario and Banjo Kazooie were even really bad games though. They both had very good suites of games.
Also Gamecube was a failure moving forward which is more speaking toward the PS2 era than the N64, N64 just had the quality consensus while PS1 had a LOT of slop so you always knew you were renting something that was at least playable.

It was obviously based off Super Mario 64 camera system, not Megaman Legends.
>Super Mario 64 was released in Japan in June 1996 and in North America in September 1996. Mega Man Legends was released later, in December 1997 in Japan and August 1998 in North America.

Windwaker perfects it with the dual analog sticks rather than the c buttons.
But yeah, if you notice when you run to the right or left your camera will not move, it just rotates. The character is running in a circle around the camera instead of at a pure 90.
That is just one example of how the camera was designed very meticulously to follow you in an intuitive way so you didn't need to constantly adjust the camera. And the majority of modern 3rd person action games still use this system as their base because its very intuitive.

There's a lot of overrated n64 games in the west because the ones who made videogaming their entire personality are often people who played an n64 during their childhood informative years and have a bias towards it due to that.
This information gets repeated by a younger audience who weren't alive in that era and believe that these bias views are an actual representation of popularity at the time.

this was my experience with oot too, I bought a discounted N64 with it late and really just wasn't feeling it but forced myself to play through it because of game journalists pushing it so hard. I finished it but it was basically just a bowl of plain oatmeal to me, I barely formed any memories of it and everything after the tree guy is very hazy. Except fishing, I remember the fishing. I've tried to replay it in various forms over the years but never got very far.

OoT struggled to reach 800k in it's launch month. The yugioh duel monsters GB game hit almost 900k. It wasn't a huge outsale and mostly because the the difference in console.
Did it drop off and in the long run sell less total copies over it's lifespan? yeah it capped out at 1.6m, but that's in part because it got a sequel like a year later with an updated cardpool so there was no reason to not buy it over the first game.
This shouldn't be a surprise honestly, yugioh was one of the biggest franchises in the late 90's. It was the second most talked about thing behind pokemon for kids and most people already had a gameboy so it makes sense if you think about it.

You'll have a hell of a time trying to find a functioning PS1, or even a fucking functioning PS2. Nintendo consoles just hold up better, and people who owned them didn't tend to play them into the ground. If you find a PS1 - PS3-backwards-compatible that work they'll probably have had their lasers replaced among other parts (memory card slots on the PS1 usually, and fans on later models), and the PS3 might have been blow dried, microwaved, or put in an oven to try to jump start it again. Once you go replacing parts, or microwaving your PS3, they won't hold up the same way the original unreplaced parts would have, so you'll probably need to do that every 4 - 6 years if you actually use the consoles. Just using the things regularly could also just undo the 'repairs,' because they won't hold up to stress. The PS3 specifically is a bitch to fix. Once you open it up to repair anything you're at risk of it just not working anymore. The PS1 and PS2 aren't as bad, but will need regular maintenance if you use them. Gamecubes and n64 are still going with minimal issue (SA2, people without memory cards, humidity, water damage, and extreme heat kill gamecubes) and there's more wiis then anybody wants. I say this when I really fucking love PS1 games, but I emulate them as I don't have a choice. My n64, gamecube, snes, and various handhelds are all still alive.

Right but do they still give you control of the camera when you want it anyway? The thing that sticks out like a sore thumb nowadays playing OoT is the lack of a means to control the camera when you move (that and the lack of an actual jump button). I shouldn't be feeling that need if it was true that the game had managed to completely remove the need for it.

Childhood.
As a kid you didnt get all the games, so your console having all the games doesnt matter if you only have 8 games gifted the entire cycle.
Now, if you as a kid had a 64, there was 90% chance the games you did get where 100% bangers and a huge chance your friends also had those same games, which creates a sort of connection.

Even as an adult, less is more. You're much better off with a tight library of 40 games then with a huge library of hundreds

Huh it's actually surprising me to learn there was a classic game boy Yu Gi Oh game since I was used to that becoming a thing during the 2000s. But of course we're talking Japan-only releases before it was localised so this makes sense.

Seems to me the only bias is the anon is only counting the japanese market. Really it's demonstrating how many more people owned gameboys than n64s.

>I think theres a very good reason why the ps1 isnt looked at so fondly these days
In neurotypical spaces. Ps1 is pretty big with lonely loser autists. I dont see a lot of guys in ps1 shirts that have families. But i see a lot of families dressed up as mario characters whats up with that?

Yeah because the people that played it didn't have to become cultists over the three games they had and could move on with their lives non-traumatized

Nah I would say it is more like 10 nintendo games hold up
And 25 ps1 games hold up.

SotN
Crash Bandicoot 2
FF7
FF Tactics
Suikoden
THPS
Xenogears
Megaman X4
MGS
Chrono Cross

Diddy Kong Racing
Mario Kart 64
Super Mario 64
Excitebike 64
Perfect Dark
Kirby 64
Mario Golf
Mario Tennis
NFL Blitz 2001
Star Fox 64
LoZ OoT


The big difference between PS and N64 are that the best developer for the N was Nintendo while the best developer for the PS was Square.

The entire reason Kojima even exists as a “thing” is because western journalists pushed him because he’s a massive western dick sucker

Playstation as a whole is like that. Playstation kicked ass because Snoys never played anything else. This is why Area 51, Black, Resistance and 1000 otherwise shitty shovelware fps' were 'better than Halo' for so many years, because no one who said they were had actually played Halo. Snoys will insist I am wrong, that I'm an Xbox fanboy. Thing is, no one that owned both Xbox and a Playstation thought those shitty shovelwsre fps compared to Halo (or a lot of PC fps even). They were never good, just the best Playstation had access to. I owned all three consoles. I MADE snoys play Halo. They were happy to fucking hate it until they actually played it. Then they all bought Xboxes.

Playstation's library was as wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle. It had great games, Ratchet and Clank was my favorite fucking thing on Playstation, but there was a lot of meh right beside the good that it was often hard to find what was good. The fact a shitty shovelware fps like fucking Black was ever placed alongside the original God of War trilogy shows you how badly Playstation was graded on a curb, not just in the PS1 era, but in general.

PS3 niggas used to defend Haze and accused Microsoft of bribing reviewers to shit on it. I 'member.

Yeah PS2 had some fucking dogshit shooters. I wouldn't say it was until PS3 they started to get decent exclusive games like Resistance but yeah the exclusive shit in general was incredibly lackluster and it says a lot that a "Playstation Allstar" was fat princess.

zoomers really only play shooters? No one gave a shit ps2 didnt have halo because it had ffx, the dmc trilogy, mgs3, sotc, and kh1 and 2. Xbox didnt have shit other than halo -- that people actually played, plenty of good game on xbox, but at the time no one fucking cared about tenchu or otogi or the buffy game or whatever

Porn Children are delusional: PC gaming is and always has been irrelevant.

Doom and Ultima paled in comparison to random Nintendo games at the time.

>Zoomers
Most people who played consoles period were obsessed with shooters. PS2 owners would buy the shittiest medal of honor and need for speed games.
It's the quintessential normie core games.

3d gave him motion sickness which was a fair criticism for the time when people were moving from 2d to 3d.

Kojumbo gets motion sick from 3d games. it's the reason why the original metal gear solid games forced a horrible overhead view.
Asians are more prone to motion sickness in general, especially for 1st person games.

I had both and am not a nintendo fanboy and I did not particularly enjoy the n64. It was the last nintendo console I bought, excepting handhelds. That being said, more than four games hold up:
>Bomberman 64
>Blast Corps
>mayreeoh68
>F-Zero
...actually, four games hold up.

That's interesting. I, and most people, though Metal Gear Solid was better than both, but 1998 was a stacked year and OoT is still awesome. None of them are really comparable though. I played them depending on what flavor of adventure I wanted to go on.

As a kid my friends were all talking about Ocarina of time and when I asked someone my parents to get it they told me to wait for my birthday and got me pic related. MM was great though but I never ended up playing Ocarina of Time I wonder what it might have been like to play it at that age.
