Hell no, those consoles had WAY better libraries. Even the PS4 at this point has a better library than the N64 which is mostly criminally clunky games that are only liked because of nostalgia like Goldeneye and DK64. PS1's library has also aged miles better, particularly with games like Xenogears and Symphony of the Night.

Not even close. PS1 was a revival of the SNES in terms of quality and variety. PS2 simply continued that trend.

>>343904782
It would absolutely be N64 and GameCube. People cherry pick their babby's first games to attest to the console's quality - and to be fair GC and N64 had several top tier games.

The thing the GC babbies on /V/ forget was that there was an unbearable drought of games for the last 3 years of it's lifespan. You can count all the good GC games on two hands, while the PS2 had nearly a limitless supply good games from of a ton of different genres.

These are the same people that keep propping up Sunshine and Wind Waker like they were anything other than dumbed down shit from their better predecessors.
>>
>>343905540
That's what I meant. It only has a handful of genuinely good games that aren't overrated by nostalgia and low childhood standards yet it's treated as the second coming of christ and part of the period of when people thought Nintendo was good.
>>
N64 spawned a number of historically progressive titles and concepts like Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye, 4-player multiplayer on consoles and the modern usage of the analog stick. So no, I'd say it's earned its wings. Whether you think it's aged well or not is another matter but it definitely made some impact and definitely deserves some praise.
>>
>>343905730
Except 5 good, or even amazing games do not make an entire console good. N64 was the first "no games" station, as otherwise its library was full of horse shit.
>>
>>343905639
It really boggles the mind when people say ''Nintendo was good before the Wii U!'' when in reality they've always been a complete joke who were only liked because of nostalgia and how blind people were to how unacceptably terrible their consoles' libraries were.

They also did greedier practices than they do today like making you have to buy a gba, a metroid fusion cartridge, a gamecube-gba connector cable and beat the game just to unlock all the content in Metroid Prime, which was already on the disk.

Or the whole e-card thing, it was levels whole locked inside the cartridge that were only unlockable by buying the adapater and the cards.

Or making you have to buy 4 GBAs and a 4-way connector cable just to play Four Swords Adventures in multiplayer even though 4 gc controllers would be fine.

People never remember how EA-tier they were back then and think that they only went to shit nowadays.
>>
>>343905730

As a PS1 fan I won't argue with that.
>>
>>343905639

Wind Waker is a lesser 3D Zelda for sure but Sunshine's issues weren't so much in the mechanical department as much as they were in aesthetic, namely that the game feels very samey very quickly. In terms of raw gameplay, it's not that much weaker than 64, if not even a hair better in select instances.

A few good games that ended up aging badly and only liked by nostalgia doesn't make the console the next coming of christ like people treat it.

Sunshine was very obviously rushed, there's so many goddamn red coin missions and combined with the blue coin shines, there's 43, out of the game's 120 shines.

>GC babbies, everyone

>>343906419

Fair, but there are few moments in 64 as good as the FLUDD-less levels and you say Sunshine is buggy as though 64 isn't breakable. I'm not even one for breaking games and even I can do the endless stairs glitch, I can only imagine what people can do when they actually try to exploit the game.
>>
Now? Yes.

Then? No.

Time hasn't been kind to the N64. Early 3d games were the awkward teenage years of gaming.

PS1 was flooded with a bunch of shovelware thus lacked in quality gameplay variety. N64 had all top quality titles, PS1 had dirt cheap knock off brand games.

Despite the sheer size of the library, worthwhile PS1 games to N64 games are 1:1.

No, It wouldn't be. The game had parts where a player was out of a cave, and another was in the cave. GBA handhelds were used to not make a mess and confusion in the TV screen.

Also, FSA allowed you to play alone, even with just a Gamecube controller.

The fuck does your personal childhood anecdotes matter to anyone? Especially since it's limited by the games YOU bought? It's like saying ''I only bought shitty SNES shovelware like so it's a bad console''.

Oh God, this. That console wasn't a complete embarrassment in its first couple of years but it went to shit fast, especially in the Kinect era, not to mention it was a pioneer in standardizing paid online MP. Despite all that so many people stood by it, and mostly because "well, all my friends have one". God, the 360 was such a joke in retrospect. Hell, even its good years were offset by its abhorrent hardware failure rate.
>>
>>343907235
>No, It wouldn't be.
Yes it would, all they'd have to do is move the ''gba screens'' into each corner of the tv screen, with them being smaller than the big ass one that you see in single player mode, not to mention there's a way to hide them (pressing Z).
>Also, FSA allowed you to play alone, even with just a Gamecube controller.
Good thing I said nothing against that statement, I said the GBAs were required for multiplayer. The same shit happened for crystal chronicles.

Did you read the qualifying statement afterwords? I don't actually know many that would say it is. I think the majority would either go snes or ps1/2.

The actual system wasn't that great. It had a few games that revolutionized the entire industry. That's it.

I owned a 64. I think that when it was all said and done I didn't get more than like 6 games for it. Those 6 were amazing, industry breaking things though

This. 360 had almost nothing it was almost as bad as the barren years of the PS3.

The only reason I got one was because I wanted backwards compatibly. Even during that short time period where it had the Jrpgs and the only two really notable ones were Lost Oddesy and Vespria.

Also it had lots and lots of shumps for some reason. So there's that at least.

Outside of the MIDI music (which is accurate from a technical perspective), what was wrong with it? I'm not going to pick apart every last game in that list like some sperglord, I will say 3D action games like Medievil and shooters like Alien Resurrection don't hold a candle to games in the same genre on the N64.

I said it looks unfinished as hell, like a pre-alpha. There's no logical consistency in its progression and the whole game looks like a bunch of assets that were supposed to be polished later on.
>>
>>343909264
That's because the hardware was shit and cheap and breaks constantly forcing people to buy a new one. Not to mention the attach rate as always was shit because most of the people who bought them were poor beaners who pirate everything.

To each their own. BK was the first game I truly fell in love with so I admit some bias there but I can see some issues people can take with it, like it being much slower and unwieldy to control compared to SM64. Still, I do think it made some advancements on SM64's foundation.

64 and Sunshise had a share of flaws and good parts. 64 had good content and gameplay, but the camera was horrible to handle and level design was bland, except Cave Dungeon (grass, ice, lava, desert level), while Sunshine had a nice variety of level design based in the theme and expanded gameplay, but it was short and the final boss was nice but a disappoint.

SOTN didn't do anything which Metroid and Maze of Galious hadn't before. In fact all CVs since have been ripoffs of contemporary games that are popular, they ripped off DMC twice and then god of war twice.

I'm pretty sure Silent Hill 2 isn't a PS2 exclusive.

I was expecting more diversity than that though, I mean what if someone doesn't like flight simulators, they are left with two games of the same series. That really considered god tier?
>>
>>343910589

Even by modern standards you can't call games like SM64, OoT, and Goldeneye cripples. Those all considerably outsold a game like, say, RE6. N64 had some games with insane attach rates.
>>
>>343909486
>>Game X still plays and looks fine.
But they don't, they have criminally low fps (like how OoT runs at 20 but every kid just ate that shit up), clunky controls, balloon-like graphics and just poor gameplay in general because it was the start of the 3d era and devs were still getting used to, they didn't put much effort in their N64 titles compared to PS1 though.

I like the N64. It was before voice acting and the cinematic experience ruined 3D gaming.

Even the """bad""" games are still games, with levels and bosses and such. I'll take that over Press X to call your wife's son any time.
>>
>>343911232
PS1 had plenty of great 2D games that played at high framerates.

Alundra was a better successor to Link to the Past than Ocarina of Time was.
>>
>>343910917

I was specifically trying to avoid things that could be classified as 'weebshit'. If you start including things with jRPG roots or otherwise includes classically Japanese style decisions, the list explodes.

But yes, as >>343910230 said Silent Hill 2 came out on the Xbox and PC as well apparently. I hadn't realized that.

So replace that with Wipeout Fusion or God Hand.

If including more Japanese style things the list gets quite a bit bigger. The PS2 was the last hurrah of Japan being the central cultural release point for vidya in the world, before the Xbox 360 pretty much dominated the market and shifted the concentration more to the US.
>>
>>343910817
>Sunshine had a nice variety of level design
What? One of the biggest flaws is that all of its levels feel so samey. They were also extremely lazy in its gameplay variety since FORTY FUCKING THREE of the game's 120 shines are gotten through red/blue coin hunts as well as constantly reusing bosses like the blooper, Petey and the goo piranha.

Other way around, its gameplay feels shallow and undeveloped compared to 64 since it focuses on the FLUDD gimmick.

The SNES CD was done by Sony you tard.

Analog sticks existed before the N64.

Both those games could be played the same way on the SNES or Genesis and don't make use at all of the 3D in them.

>>
>>343911932
MGS is a novelty which has like 40 minutes of actual gameplay not counting the VR missions.

RE3 is easily the worst of the classic REs and very blatantly a cheap cash-in while Code Veronica became the real sequel to RE2.

FF9 is good, fuck that guy. Though if you like gameplay then it doesn't hold up against any N64 game.

No idea what you're talking about, SM64 alone kept people going for months. Was the japanese release lackluster or something?

Those early games were quality though, except for Midway's lazy cashgrab ports.

So in other words, quantity and quality?
>>
>>343916986
It does not have a quantity of quality.

>What? One of the biggest flaws is that all of its levels feel so samey.
A village, platforms and boats searching for oil close to a city, a beach close to big mountains, a not-so-well-made hotel with casino that's misteriously occupied with ghosts and suddently attacked by a giant manta ray, and another villager that was built around a huge crater with big palmtrees in there don't feel samey. 64 might not be samey, but the level design is predictable and bland, except in cases like Tick Tock Clock and Cave Dungeon.

>They were also extremely lazy in its gameplay variety since FORTY FUCKING THREE of the game's 120 shines are gotten through red/blue coin hunts
While I agree this, 64 wasn't any different, since 30 stars, along some others from secret courses, out of the 120 are only obtainable through red coins and 100 yellow coins.

>as well as constantly reusing bosses like the blooper, Petey and the goo piranha.
The Goo Piranha is not really a boss, but a mini-boss, and was only used 4 or 5 times. If you think about it, Sunshine didn't really fully used his main gimmick, which is the dirt painting.
The giant Blooper was only re-used 2 times, and so was Petey.
Also, did you forgot the giant Wiggler, the red Cataquacks, King Boo, the mecha Bowser, and others?

Also, did you forgot how Bowser were re-used three times on his levels, and how the Big Bully were re-used too in 64?

>Other way around, its gameplay feels shallow and undeveloped compared to 64 since it focuses on the FLUDD gimmick.
No. A bunch of Mario's moves and FLUDD's mechanics could be combined: You can spray, and then slide on it, you can spin in the air while spraying water in all the places, you can use backwards somersault with FLUDD, and others. Also, don't forget the power-ups, where you can either jump high or run fast. FLUDD was not a bad gimmick, but if you really must, you're free to cherrypick and say how FLUDD's float move ruined the whole game, when you can just not use it.

Also, I need someone to post that webm where a guy speedrun the game through a secret level.

Call me when there has been a single game that has better controls and physics than an N64 launch title.

Then we'll talk about which consoles were mediocre.

You're mostly right, but MGS is complete shit

FYI, Wipeout 3 Special Edition is European only. DO NOT get the American version. If you want your library to be American only, go with Wipeout XL. Not as good as 3 Special Edition but it's pretty good.
