We just had this thread literally a week ago.
If you missed it the consensus was a combination of it being sub-par compared to the other two games and early 3d models being so fucking ugly it couldn't begin the match the sprites of EWJ 1 and 2.

the real problem is that it was a completely different developer. same thing that happened to other mascot characters

They went from pinnacle of 2d to early awful 3d.
It was like if they wanted to make the first two games on a Commodore 64.

That had nothing to do with EWJ 3D's problems. You could also make a good argument that Mario 64's character models are worse than the sprites in the 2D games and yet M64 was a good game.
EWJ 3D actually has some strong technical aspects like dynamic lighting,
By far biggest problem is the extremely lousy and repetitive level design (in all terms, gameplay, aesthetics, etc). That's where the lack of charm comes from and why it sucks as a game.

what in the world does he say in the intro anyway?
>>2821950
yeah, the levels were too challenging for the wrong reasons. Tons of overpowered enemies, jumps that didnt cooperate with the camera. Puzzles that gave no hints and made no sense. I think instant deaths when you fell in lava or something? It sucks that EWJ had to go out so badly.
Also, I never beat the game because I think you have to 100% it in order to reach the final boss. Like what? In Mario 64 and I think even DK 64 100%ing is an optional challenge.

Did you all born in 2002?
Do we have this thread weekly now? Is it just one person who really hates Earthworm Jim 3D spamming this? I thought it was okay, personally.

>Did you all born in 2002?
A large percentage of /vr/ was probably born around then, yes.

1988 here. Joke's on you assholes, though: I already felt like an old fucking man at 20, so physically growing old wasn't much of a change.

being 30 soon isn't that bad, but damn I feel like grandpa in nearly every single gaming circle im in now.
only game I play where the majority of people are older than me is Project 1999 Everquest.
>>2822598
yeah but 100%ing EWJ3D is torture because of how bad the game is.
>>2821179
The exact same thing that went wrong with Castlevania 64.
>>2823016
Eh? Castlevania 64 is pretty alright. Don't know why everybody is hating it so much.
Sure the 2D Castlevanias are better, but Castlevania 64 is by no means a horrible game. Mediocre maybe.
