Convince me that the N64 and the PS1 weren't the greatest consoles of all time.

N64 was probably one of the shittiest consoles of all times, and was overrated to hell. The games aged like milk and the controller was an abomination

What wortwhile exclusives did it even have? Zelda? Banjo? Star Fox (a two hour game)? More Mario shit?

But then I remember most kids here grew up with 5th gen or 6th gen and barely played any 4th gen outside of emulation, so it's understandable.

Did I just wander into the youtube comment section, or perhaps reddit? An underage who likely never owned an N64 and only played through emulation is unironically telling me to "go back to CoD" for not liking his nostalgia goggles console. Can't make this shit up lmao

N64 was shit. Very few worthwhile games, controller was dogshit, and cartridges over discs was classic Nintendo thinking the industry would bend to their will then Sony left them in the dust. N64/PS1 marked the fall of Nintendo from relevance, and the rise of Sony.

GCN was alright though. F-Zero GX, Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness, Viewtiful Joe, RE4, Starfox Adventures, Wind Waker, Melee, Animal Crossing (probably one of my favorite games that gen, very unique), Pikmin, TTYD, etc.

It irks me when people today complain about exclusivity or timed exclusives. With the exception of a handful of titles pretty much everything is cross. Back then whether you would get the n64, playstation or saturn you'd have a completely different experience.
>>
>>322225149
PS2 greatest of all time

No had a handful of wonderful exclusives and some unique multi-player experiences, but Playstation had more great games in general and the hardware was better. Cartridge memory limits was a mistake and it hurt the potential for every single N64 release

It's held back by N64's controller design though.
>>
>>322228681
Yeah part of the reason it was worth owning each of those consoles is because they each had so many exclusives (at the time) that you simply weren't going to get anywhere else. On top of that the controllers were different as well as the way the games style itself was.

The reason Xbone is so looked down upon on this board is because it really is basically just a weaker PS4. They may have their few exclusive games but can you honestly say those games couldn't be done in the same way on the competition? Back then games like Turok and Goldeneye were simply impossible to have on PS1. Just like games like FFVII were impossible for N64 to have.

Nostalgia fags cherry pick a few good ones on each console & pretend all games were like that

Oh god this. My dad got me an N64 when I was a kid because the PS1 was too expensive, but games were so expensive that I spent the entire 5th gen with nothing but Donkey Kong 64 and Pokemon Stadium. I had to rent everything else. I didn't own any other N64 game until well into the Gamecube era.

>>322228996
Other than the poor quality of the analog stick, the N64 controller works well enough for FPS games. Golden Eye is the first game I can think of that used what would become the standard FPS layout with movement in the left hand with the d-pad and aiming with the stick. This control scheme was not the default, so I think a lot of people probably never realized it existed. Developers have refined the implementation, but the controller layout is fine.

You implying those exclusives are truly great in anyway? Some may be decent at best but I guarantee none will stand the test of time. Like it or not faggot but OOT will remain being a 5th gen game that people will remember long into the future while this entire list you posted will become forgotten within even just the next console generation.

There is a reason you still to this day hear so much about certain older games where as games like TLOU are already becoming forgotten by the industry and fans alike.
>>
>>322229541
Turok would have been a mess on PS1. It would have had a terrible fps. It couldn't have even been made until the DS controller came out anyways.

Have you not seen how poor Doom runs on PS1 next to how Doom 64 ran?

Then you didn't pay attention, because I said I was >>322226141, I was actually making fun of underages who only played older games through emulation before you, sorry.

Also, yeah, stereotypes exist for a reason. People yelling "kiddy shit!" when talking videogames are most likely CoD pubescents.

I also don't think you've explored the N64 catalogue enough.

Again, I'm not saying the N64 is the best console ever, I think 5th gen overall was pretty shit compared to 3rd and 4th gens, but people saying "N64 only had mario and zelda! aged badly!" etc are just showing how little they know about their own hobby.

>>322226059
What children always underestimate is to appreciate how the games handled the transition from 2D to 3D, this is for example why someone playing Ocarina of Time now simply cannot appreciate all the little details and attention that was put into the game.

Things like the damn intro sequence where navi pumps into a fence only to go through after readjusting her three-dimensional position would seem incredibly pedestrian these days, but having that little detail in the intro for everyone who only ever played 2D was great. Things like the first dungeon being largely vertical to ease you into the new perspective, the camera and three dimensional controls, the way you could just screw around and practice shit at the start to get rupees and shit, all seem so mundane.

Kids just don't understand what it means to pioneer, and who can blame them? Innovation of that degree is fucking dead in modern gaming, and we're mostly seeing regression these days.

I was a N64 kid but having grown up and played a lot more PS1 games, I can say N64 didn't even come close. It's pretty overrated actually. The few good games it has are about as fun as a mediocre SNES game and the controller is abominable
>>
>>322230404

Yeah ok whatever, my point is that people saying that some video games are "kiddy" are fooling themselves into thinking they're some mature shit.

The only actual kiddy games are edutainment games, everything else can be for all ages as long as it's a good game to play.

When I was 8 I was crazy about Mortal Kombat because of the blood and fatalities. So mature, man.
>>
>>322230379
being innovative back then doesn't mean it aged well

a game can be innovative and significant even if it doesn't hold up today
>>
>>322230686

Opposite for me, I grew up with a PS1 only, but ended up playing a lot more hours on a N64 I got later.
PS1 had too many shovelware and the amount of quality games on it is, at the very least, questionable.
I think both N64 and PS1 are overrated though. Any popular console is, to some degree.
>>
>>322230726
I'm not about to suggest it aged well, just the opposite if you pay attention to what I said, people cannot appreciate innovation they didn't experience when it happened, as such those details are entirely mundane, even bothersome as things that are now standard are explained.

I mean, graphically the N64 games look like ass compared to what we have now, and many little design problems that have been fixed years ago are prevalent.

I used to spend months playing Perfect Dark and it was the best game I'd ever played, but going back to it now it's actually pretty awful compared to twin-stick shooters.

Still, Perfect Dark managed to ruin modern shooters for me, as they're all so fucking dull and simplistic by comparison, so dumbed down despite having superior graphics and controls.

if you grew up with PS4 like you did with N64 you'd think back on it just as fondly or even more so.

>>322229714
The notion that no 8th gen games will stand the test of time is absolutely ludicrous. Each gen will have its classics. And soon 7th gen and also 8th gen games will join the ranks of FF7 and OoT as soon as the newer generation grows up and becomes nostalgic over them.

Most of us adults have realized many of the games we grew up with aged poorly, but for the manchildren still stricken with nostalgia, they grow jaded and bitter and think that their favorite games as a child will be the only games that are ever good or remembered.

Last gen was one hell of a gen, with great games like New Vegas, Demon's Souls, Ninja Gaiden 2, XCOM, GTA4/GTA5, RDR, Wipeout HD, Mario Galaxy, Bamham, etc.

2016 also looks fantastic with games like DkS3, Ni-Oh, Street Fighter V, Uncharted 4, Horizon, Persona 5, Nier Automata, No Man's Sky, XCOM2, Firewatch, Deus Ex, Tides of Numera, Quantum Break, DOOM, Gravity Rush 2, Yakuza 0, and a ton more.
>>
>>322230725
Some games are kiddy. Super Mario Galaxy is one of the most fun platformers I've ever played gameplay wise but it's very kiddy in its theme and so I get bored quick because it doesn't really engage my mind. If my 8 year old self had played the game, I would've been blown the fuck out with amazement. I have this experience with pretty much all Nintendo games. Very good gameplay, technically on point with beautiful colorful graphics, but just not compelling.
>>
>>322230996

Nintendo is the only one making "Kiddy" games?

I also enjoy a lot of "Kiddy" games from Sega (Fantasy Zone, Wonder Boy in Monster Land, Puyo Puyo) or Sony (Jumping Flash, Parappa, UmJammer Lammy).

Maybe you're just obsessed with some imaginary nintendo damage control boogeyman? that ain't real, yo.

I just find it hard to believe that some people prevent from enjoying good videogames just because it isn't gritty and dark. Mind you, I also love gritty and dark vidya (as long as they're good).

PS1 had a ton of games and therefore a whole bunch of bad ones, but it still had more good games than N64 in my opinion.

>2016 looks fantastic
They said 2015 looked fantastic last year as well, the only games I'd rate highly are Phantom Pain (which is carried almost entirely by how well they managed to make it run on my crappy PC and the overall handling of the game, story and such were complete shite and the codec conversations were my favorite parts of other MGS titles) and maybe Bloodborne though that one is entirely due to hearsay so take it with a grain of salt.

FO4 was a disaster, W3 was hot garbage (how the fuck do you mess up something as basic as character handling in a game of this scale?) and I'm actually struggling to remember other noteworthy releases last year.

Innovation is fucking dead, and the excitement that came with it is gone as well.

The jump from 2D to 3D was innovation, the addition of an extra thumbstick to controllers was innovation, all those quality of life upgrades that were constantly being improved have come to a dead stop, you can meme all you like with citing a few failed experiments though, if denial makes you feel better.

N64 were the best for gameplay driven titles.

That's because all the games were delayed to 2016 champ. 2015 was actually pretty great (and MGSV was certainly not why). Witcher 3 movement has been patched for months by the way.

>Innovation is fucking dead, and the excitement that came with it is gone as well.

Good riddance. I don't want innovative bullshit. I just want good games that take advantage of the tech.

the whole "aged" argument is some new millenium meme.

basically it means that people's attention spans are different depending on their generation, so they can't appreciate stuff that doesn't cater to what they're used to.

Seriously why do you think innovation is exclusively gimmicks? The fact that that's what it's been reduced to is part of the fucking problem.

>Witcher 3 movement has been patched for months by the way
I'm aware, it was just staggering that they released it in that state. What they also didn't fix was the atrocious writing, saying W3 has "decent writing" is like calling Twilight "literature" but even if that was resolved you'd still have entirely borked gameplay because "you're Geralt, a Witcher, so play Skyrim with only swords and a dodge button!"

Where the fuck is setting traps, brewing potions, prepping a specialized kit of tools
>Nope just run up to things and hit them with your sword like every ARPG ever, maybe cast a quick-cast spell or throw some random spell-like bomb at them for variety!
You'd think they'd train Witchers to at least use fucking spears considering what they're fighting.

This is pretty much more along the lines what I was going to say. I'll just put it in an altered post.

Look here you fags. It isn't the game that has aged. The game isn't a food product or an animal. It's not an alcoholic beverage like wine. It is a video game that never changes. The only the that changes is the day of the year.

It isn't the game that has aged. It is YOU the faggot that says this that ages. I get that a persons tastes may change over time but that doesn't mean the game changed. It is YOU YOU HUMUNGOUS FAGGOT that has a different taste in gaming now. If you are someone that hasn't played these games at the time or closer to the time they released then what's going on here is that the game simply isn't appealing to what you like or are even used to. I have played games well before my time (like colleco vision for example) and I didn't go "hehe this are shit it has aged poorly XD."

Because I understood that it is a product of it's time. Not a fucking piece of cheese.

It's a really annoying meme/buzzword.

Can you honestly claim classic literature and orchestral music are by definition objectively better than that, though?

I'd assume the comparison alone would be rather awkward, and myself being partial to classic literature and orchestral music would make me a rather biased observer in the comparison, but I can't help but wonder if the actual merits are there.

There was this kid I knew in grade school who only played Nintendo games.
But if there was a non-Nintendo game that he liked, he'd call it "an honorary Nintendo game".

You're acting a lot like him right now. Just replace "Nintendo" with "kiddy" which is easy since they're interchangeable anyway.
>>
>>322232464
You simply fail to comprehend a really clear concept.

Something aging mostly relates to it being replaced/obsolete, the invention of paper for example aged extremely well simply because there aren't a lot of things you could improve on the product, late SNES graphics age really well because there isn't a lot to improve, whereas early 3D graphics aged terrible because the improvements came very rapidly (just compare the graphics of say FF7 and FF8)

Aging poorly in that regard simply means it's outdated and doesn't compare well to modern product, this is also why 2D is often called "timeless" because we've not really been able to improve on it.
>>
>>322232282
I never said Witcher 3 has decent writing. Not sure why you're quoting me. I thought The Witcher 3 was very overrated. Horrible combat, repetitive fetch quests, broken leveling system, no sense of progression, dull and empty world, and so on. Doesn't change that many other games in 2015 were great.

And you can brew potions and you can set traps with Yrden. I may not have thought TW3 was that great, but I at least finished it and don't spew shit that it outright false.

>>322232464
Really it comes down to how much the game tried to use new tech that wasn't quite polished. Most 2D games hold up great, and games like Oregon Trail, Tetris, and Pac-Man are still fun today. But early 3D models and worlds, voice acting, animations, etc. that may have all seemed revolutionary are now downright awful and cringeworthy.

It's mostly just N64 games that aged poorly. Most NES, SNES, and PS2 games hold up fine. If you didn't play games like OoT or SF64 when they came out, tough luck, because they are shit today.

You fags are so hilarious. Similar things can be said about the likes of you. That instead of looking at older games with a much more open viewpoint that underaged shitters would rather bitch and complain about mechanics before their time.

Not everyone who prefers older games is going to think as you said here. But to say that older games never have value once they are old is equally as stupid. Old movies, books and music don't just become old outdated pieces of shit moron. They just become products of their time.

Whether a person wants to enjoy these products in the modern day is entirely up to them.

However amongst "gamers" you often see fags like you that prefer to insult anything old instead as if it's the developers and the products fault itself when this isn't usually the case at all. It's the persons fault.

Owned every system from the SNES forward except gamecube and dreamcast. N64 was awesome in 1996 but going back and trying to play those games really sucks now. It should stay in the past.

PS1 was cool but PS2 was the best system of all time...huge library, backwards compat, played movies etc.

This generation i'm enjoying the Wii U the most but all 3 consoles, 2 handhelds and the PC are awesome right now. It's probably the best time in history if you play video games as a hobby.

I'm not arguing all hobbies are equally viable, I'm arguing that making a distinction when "value" or "merits" haven't been determined is a complete waste of time.

For all you know you're just deluding yourself that you're spending time meaningfully, but unless you understand what is meaningful and what isn't, that assumption is of no value. Considering the incredibly subjective nature of the idea of value and meaning, the debate in general is foolish in an absolute sense (the actual act of debating it, however, could still have merit)

The simplest example I can give you is that if the best value in past-time activities is to reduce stress to increase efficiency in performance, then mental enrichment is going to be a detriment, as it distracts and takes away focus from primary activities, whereas braindead entertainment will reduce stress and not distract, in this context your mentally enriching activities are actually the dumb thing to do, and thinking yourself superior for it even more so. The matter is complicated, and a false sense of superiority is probably not wise.

You realize this is only accurate when something has 100% replaced that obsolete item in its intended niche, correct?

Well, it happens quite a bit, nobody is going to play something like Perfect Dark these days without asserting it aged poorly, because everything it did has been done better by more modern games, innovation has taken over both in terms of visuals and gameplay, I'm not about to say it's "bad" but the fact remains that everything it did is now outdated.

One thing I'd say is fairly timeless is sound design, it's not something that can really age. But graphics get updated all the time, just the fact that remakes constantly happen is proof of that, but also gameplay gets outdated because we get better controllers, better programming etc (also worse, obviously, but things like the camera movement in classics like Mario 64 and Ocarina of time are good examples here)

Aged poorly just means (many) elements have been rendered obsolete, that's how the term is used, so just keep that in mind.

>whereas early 3D graphics aged terrible because the improvements came very rapidly (just compare the graphics of say FF7 and FF8)

You seem to be implying that because 3D graphics have improved that it becomes impossible to enjoy older 3D graphics. I get what you said. I understand many people say this. The problem is I not only can still enjoy "aged" graphics but I would argue that in some cases they actually improve a lot of these games.

It's not even just me. I have seen threads on horror games before where some anons said that they believed a part of what made some of those games scary was the older graphics obscuring the vision more. Basically it made the monsters look a lot more uncanny in appearance. These are things that you just can't emulate as well with better graphics.

Don't believe me? You think Minecraft would have taken off like it did had it had graphics meant to wow people with how detailed modern games can look? No it wouldn't have had the charm that people have grown to like about the games. In addition to the building I guarantee a large reason for that games success is because it is stylish with it's older so called "aged poorly" 3D graphics.

And there's where your entire post falls apart. People are returning to the old games. If that wasn't the case, there wouldn't be a want for remasters, Sony wouldn't be offering their bullshit emulation service (let's be honest, there were plenty of PS2 games that were shit at the time also).

I hate that I'm bringing this point up, but known youtubers return to games from those eras, and that sparks interest in their viewers. You would probably say a game like Banjo Kazooie has aged like shit. Meanwhile, people are proclaiming how well it's aged and how much they still love it. You can't just make hyperbolic assumptions like that anon.

No, you just fell for the salty memesters who were desperately trying to grasp as straws to shit on a 10/10 game.
Bayonetta 2 is as good as the first, in fact it's even better because of one reason: it removed the instakill QTEs.

Everyone who loved the first game liked the second one as well.
Some slightly prefer the second, others slightly prefer the first one, but nobody seriously believes Bayonetta 2 is a "downgrade". The whole "you can't launch enemies on Bayo 2" is a straight lie by the way, again, you fell for memes by people who were salt as all fuck, pic related is the kind of people you trust.

Read the full sentence, people will play Perfect Dark but the imperfections of the control scheme will be very jarring (dual stick is simply far superior) as such it's now "dated"

This obviously doesn't mean there are no good qualities to appreciate in a gem like Perfect Dark, just that it's harder to do so because we're used to better controls and graphics which take focus away from the great elements like level design, weapon variety, etc.

I would also not claim Banjo Kazooie aged like shit, because the core pieces that set it apart did not age like shit, the sound design is timeless, the level design is better than what we see today, the gameplay, particularly skill variety and exploration, problem solving etc. is barely present in modern games, so none of those elements have seen improvement, rather they've seen regression.

Banjo Kazooie is not a graphical masterpiece, but it gets the job done and it's one of the least important aspects, so it's not an issue. There are in fact few games where I'd say they aged poorly, but many games will have elements that did, like the camera in Ocarina of time or the controls in Perfect Dark

Hell a good reason why speedruns are so popular these days is because those older games have something that most modern crap lacks, though describing that would make this post a bit too large.

Time to break apart your post.

> Parchment is entirely outdated and didn't age well due to being replaced by paper, but that doesn't mean I couldn't write an essay on a piece of parchment.
Problem here is we are talking about entertainment bro. You would be better off comparing games with movies or music. Not things that benefit a persons everyday life. It would be like you comparing gaming with modern laws that have been passed that improved life for the average person. Let's say slavery for example. I won't get into this more but I'm sure you get my point.

>Just let go of the idea that "aged poorly" means "bad"
And I very much get that it doesn't mean this. The problem is more in the way it is used on /v/. I guarantee you that in most cases people use this as a way to troll or say something is bad. It's like the whole gun argument here. Or if you want me to use something from entertainment like i said you should, think about old movies. Think about how assblasted old trilogy star wars fans get at the prequels and the constant so called "updates that improve the movies" that come out.

Gaming has to be the only entertainment medium out there where it's own fans can be so obnoxious and immature that you have people constantly engaging in shit like flamewars, trying to go out of their way to make people understand their viewpoint (most cases just trying to troll) about x game being shit because y game is superior.

Yes I know that technically "aged poorly" doesn't and shouldn't mean a game is bad necessarily. The problem is that is the way it will be used most of the time. That is the problem with it.

You have to know fully well if you browse here enough that when most people here say it's aged poorly or aged like milk they very much go on to bash said game in their posts. This is literally mostly the case on /v/.

Honestly I frequently see "aged poorly" used as a warning, so that you go in prepared for it, usually used by people who like the game they're describing but acknowledging that things have gotten outdated.

And it's important, acknowledging ahead of times that some elements are outdated or even bad helps (me at least) allow focus on the good and unique elements. As I've been saying in this thread, Perfect Dark would be my top game of all time ten years ago, now I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone especially without warning them about the control scheme. It's still a great game with great elements, but to assume people can go back and appreciate the innovation and elements that set it apart from the rest at the time is little but wishful thinking.

I'd still describe Perfect Dark as the best game (or at least top 10) on N64, but I'd recommend a lot of different games over Perfect Dark that simply didn't age as poorly as it did (and I would love for some kind of hack that lets you play it with a two-stick controller properly because holy shit that gunplay)

Plenty of ways, you just can't launch them automatically with a regular WW like you could in Bayo 1, which makes sense since Bayo 2's combat is a lot more larger with UC into the equation. You can launch enemies, but there's more limitations otherwise UC would be trivial. But yes, you can launch enemies without WT, some examples:

I don't even know why I'm showing you this since you haven't even played the game, but there you go.

Cuhrazeyfags are also comprised of console warriors who are still salty about the Bayo 2 exclusivity. The salt Bayo 2 generated is astronomical.

You're joking right? Plenty of the "competitive" ones have Wii U.

I'm convinced Nintendo is Elder-God tier troll.

You teenagers sure are mean. I just wanted to recommend some good games you might enjoy.

Back to CoD with you!

Ocarina is considered by many to be the best game of all time. Also, Majora's Mask, Mario 64, Smash Brothers, Goldeneye, Banjo 1 and 2, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, Perfect Dark, Mario Party, Tony Hawk, Wave Race, Yoshi's Story, Rogue Squadron, Turok, Pilotwings, Diddy Kong racing.

You couldn't name that many great games if you combined the last two generations of consoles.

You guys are both understating a great argument, which is that the crux of critique is getting better games. Some of that comes from low quality emotional states that just call games shit because they're not exactly like contemporary games, but that's worth filtering obviously.

The fact some of them might not be poorfag/teenagers and actually have enough income to buy multiple consoles don't make them any less of brand loyalists.

And just so you don't think I'm only on Nintendo's side, I know plenty of Nintendo loyalists who own Xbox/PS, but they still talk shit about them just because they prefer Nintendo.

Bayonetta 2 is the game that caused the most salt in recent years, it's not surprising people were still trying to find minimal, subjective and imaginary flaws to claim the game is shit just because it wasn't on their preferred company's system.

Pretty sure it has over 300 games if I remember correct. People always have picked a few examples no matter what gen of gaming it is. These days it would be hard for you to find the masses talking about anything outside of AC, CoD, Fifa and GTA as being great. Even though there is plenty of great games outside of these that may have sold only an eighth of what those games sold.

It's the same thing with PS1, N64, Dreamcast, etc. Of course the masses will choose just a few games since they were very popular and sold well.

A game I played and beat a couple times that I liked was House of The Dead 2 on Dreamcast. You really think you are going to hear most people talk about that game let alone remember or even know it existed?

You can't use popular opinion in this case. If you did then we might as well just agree that mobile shit's all over all consoles ever made since most people enjoying gaming enjoy it on mobile.

Not really, Bayo was a rather mediocre game with middling sales and a sale fanbase and Bayo2 was an inferior sequel on a dead platform that sold <400k worldwide.

Besides a few cherrypicked facebook and twitter posts, almost no one cared.

Compare that to something like say Bloodborne which had goldface shitposting for weeks and had a petition to bring it to PC with over 50k signatures.

I personally love all this nintendo hate. Hate is a passionate response that proves that nintendo is doing exactly the right thing to gain the attention of the gaming populace. If nintendo was truly shit, all they would get would be indifference.
>>
>>322237537
>Bayo 2
>inferior

In what way? I played both and preferred Bayo 2 to the first one.

>>322237549
Dude, I'm a nintendo fan since the NES. And i'm pretty much convinced the "Worst" company of the year for 2016 will be Ninty.

They decisions they've made as a business as of late have been worse and rivaled even capcom in terms of finanical suicide.

After Iwata passed, whoever took over has money on the mind and doesnt seem to care for production, and thats going to be Nintys downfall.
>>
>>322237204
yet here you are, shitposting about furry shit and using Bayo as your fodder.

I think Bayo is mediocre at best and because Wii U has nothing but Bayo 2 and TW101 and will never most likely have anything more to interest me, it's a waste of money in my eyes.
>>
>>322237537
>Bayo was a rather mediocre game

Well, that's your opinion.

>Bayo2 was an inferior sequel

Also your opinion, and most likely parroted, too.

>on a dead platform

loving every grain of salt when people say this.

>that sold <400k worldwide.

It sold more than Bayo 1 in the same time frame, and without a price cut like Bayo 1 did.

It's no secret the action genre is niche in this day and age, though.
Bayo in Smash greatly increased the demand of the game though, as much as I hate the fact that it needed something like Smash to get more popular, it worked, good luck finding a copy of Bayo 2 in retail and paying less than 100 bucks.

Now that you mention BB, it's also kind of surprising that it only sold about 2m copies, on a console with an install base of 30m. Especially since BB is the only PS4 exclusive worth a shit.
>>
>>322237768
Agreed.
With the NX coming out in fall this year and Zelda being dual released, they are going to fracture the fanbase irreparably.
>>
>>322237837

I think you're thinking of another anon, I never mentioned any furry shit in my posts.

>>322237408
They probably aren't. There's almost 200 posts and only 50 IPs. There is a lot of samefagging going on itt.

It's sold about 600k in physical sales alone last I checked.

Not at all. It has sold only 182k LTD in ths US, and bombed spectacularly in EU and JP as well. Bayo 2 likely still hasn't even hit 400k WW

Bayo1 shipped 1.4m in just the first few months.

I'm genuinely curious. In what way was Bayonetta 2 worse than Bayonetta 1? I've seen this posted in this thread so many times, and nobody's answered me.

I played Bayonetta 1 on the 360, and then Bayonetta 2 on the Wii U years later. Bayonetta 2 is just so much better than Bayonetta 1 because they touch up all of the mechanics, boost the framerate, make the final boss cooler, you get to play as Rodin, and add a bunch of cool new weapons.

I'm not trying to shitpost, I actually want to know the reasons someone prefers Bayonetta over Bayonetta 2.

Sorry, that was the SNES/Genesis. A "rivalry" where one sells 100 million and the other 30 million is not a rivalry, it's a stomping.

Pretty sure it's just one guy who hasn't played Bayo 2 shitposting sales numbers to feel better about not buying a console he's trying to convince himself he doesn't want. Just ignore him.

Doesn't matter if PS1 outsold it by a lot more. They were still both great consoles to own. This was also pretty much the last time Nintendo was so willing to back a ton of more mature games.

>They were still both great consoles to own
The N64 wasn't really worth owning next to the PS1, unless you were a) a kid and b) really needed dat multiplayer
>This was also pretty much the last time Nintendo was so willing to back a ton of more mature games
Wrong. Really wrong. They had a few "mature" titles on the GC and many more on the Wii.
