What was better n64 or PS2. These two are close for the best consoles ever.
>>
Op here I say PS2. Just personal preference
>>
I don't know what your expecting from this thread but your going to get the same people who show up in every n64 thread and theyre going to post that the n64 was better because mario 64 and zelda and then continue on with their nintoddler revisionist history as usual
>>
>>324337779
So you think the n64 is better?
>>
>>324337915
Hardly. It was a piece of shit even when it was relevant.
>>
>>324337596
I honestly have a tough time choosing between the 2, I love most of the N64 library but PS2 has Yakuza and Godhand
>>
ps2 had infinitely more games on it than 64. It wins by a landslide.

N64 was shittier than the PS1 and especially the PS2. Gamecube and PS2 were about neck and neck, but PS2 had more exclusives and 3rd party support.

N64 and ps2 both had a weak library but both the n64 and the dreamcast suffered from a shitty controller.

Only thing that pulled ps2 ahead was backwards compatibility to make up for its shit library.

Seems like N64 and PS2 in their own libraries though were lacking while dreamcast had a better selection. It was more hit than miss on a lot of popular dreamcast titles while titles on N64 and PS2 didn't hold up as well.

Don't get me wrong though i loved me a bunch of PS2 and N64 games. Neither of them really outdid UTGOTY online or some DOA2 with family and friends.

Also i had a PC too at the time and got way more play time for half life and mods than most anything else.

name 20 games worth playing on the n64
>>
>>324340672

Why? you will either never heard of them and call them shit, or call them shit anyway.

Anyway sturgeon's law applies to everything, PS2 also has hundreds of games but only 20 or 30 are actually must play and still it's a subjective matter.
For example, I never like dthe GTA games, while for some people they are a must and GTA III was one of the best selling titles on PS2.

People just have different tastes, bud.
>>
>>324340672

Name 15 that aren't developed or published by Nintendo, or a company owned by Nintendo.

PS2, but at the same time a lot of the strength came from multiplatforms. I never even had a ps2, only played on emulators but it would be foolish to not understand the impact it had throughout the world.

I hate to sound like a nostalgiafag but it really was a great era in gaming. Technology was at a point where it was possible to create fairly big worlds and fairly detailed character models while at the same time companies were still searching for winning formulas and taking more risks in the process. AAA gaming was weird, awkward, imbalanced, and fun.

Come to think of it, the wii u library feels similar to that generation in a lot of ways which is why i enjoy it so much. In particular the platinum games and splatoon feel like modernized and vastly improved ps2 games.
>>
>>324340672
You'll just say "but this game is shit"

The n64 is an ok console, suffers from a lack of third party titles however instill believe its excellent first party titles and multiplayer titles make it worth owning.

ps2 had the most solid games of any console. immense library, great graphics for the time, quality titles in every genre, flawless controller, last gen to primarily use CRT. Reasonable pricepoint, cheap games

The biggest flaws were that it lacked 4p standard and it came before online was a huge portion of the console experience.

I believe that if we were to all sit down and make a Top X list for the N64 and PS2, both of these would happen -

All of our PS2 lists would have a wider variety of titles than our N64 lists.
I would rather choose to play our PS2 lists than our N64 lists.

My PS2 library is mostly arcade games (IIDX and shooters), and I don't find much to care about on the N64 beyond Waverace and Blast Corps.

I don't think it's unfair to say that you need to have a pretty narrow range of taste to say the N64 beats the PS2.
>>
>>324341875
>3 star wars games, 3 bomberman games, 2 goemon games, Wonder Project J2

Good Lord.
>>
>>324342545

Maybe I just like both the N64 and PS2 for different reasons and games.

Also I suggest you try out Bangai-O (also on Dreamcast, bu the N64 original version is better due to better control scheme and more difficulty).
And of course Sin and Punishment.
>>
>>324342545
Yeah thats what I was saying, the n64 has a small but interesting library. The ps2 and ps1 offer in my opinion better libraries but the n64 is no atari jaguar, it has quite a lot of great games.

These 2 Goemon games are fairly different from each other, one is a 3D platformer/adventure game and the other is a side-scroller.

Also what's wrong with Wonder Project J2? it's a unique game and one of the most gorgeous 2D games of 5th gen. It even got an english translation patch now.
>>
>>324342749
Hey I never said the n64 had a large library and diverse library, I just gave what came to my head. Also why I personally couldn't get into wonder project j1 or 2 I still think their well made games.

>comparing one of the best consoles ever to one of the worst

Geez OP, if you wanted a fight at least say something like PS2 vs SNES.

Or N64 vs Ouya
>>
>>324343301

OP was clever because he's doing a double bait work here.

By putting N64 against PS2 he's not only doing a Nintendo vs Sony thread, but also a mid to late 90s born kid vs late90s/early 00s born kid nostalgia war.

PS2 vs SNES would be pointless because everyone who actually played a SNES in the time it released has already moved to /vr/
>>
The Nintendo 64 had some great games but I think that PS2 has more games that have held up over time and are still worthwhile today
>>
did the N64 could do 2D sprites? I don't think I ever see one game like that
also while ps1 polygons have Parkinsons the N64 looked blurred as fuck
>>
>>324343831
man early 3D gaming was rough
even at the time I remember thinking it looked kinda shit but I would overlook that due to the fact that I was playing a game in an actual 3D space with CD quality music (at least on ps1)
>>
>What was better n64 or PS2. These two are close for the best consoles ever.
>unironically comparing the "10-good-games-all-the-rest-is-shit" console for people with 3 hands to the best selling home console of all time

The only consoles closer to the PS2 are the PS1 and the SNES. And the ironic thing here is the PS1 is more a SNES 2.0 than the N64 itself

>>324337596
To be honest I have a hard time choosing. Conventionally, PS2 should win because it has way more good games, which every PS2 fan loves to bring up, but I don't care for most of them at all. The N64 has very few good games but the ones I love I can replay over and over. At least with the N64 you have a few really good original games but with the PS2 it's like every mediocre game got at least 2 sequels so you have to pick through a mountain of ho-hum to find one good game.
>>
PS2. Better games across all genres, plus they can actually hold up to this day unlike most N64 titles.

Aside from Goldeneye, N64 was meant for children.

Aside from Katamari Damacy, PS2 was meant for DISC READ ERROR.
