Immortal Goat SNES games: nothing wrong

PS and up: recycled angsty teen story with token badass and some kind of arm abnormality.

Emu What's wrong with Final Fantasy? Or at least the SNES ones.

Chojin You say 'anything else like that' like there is a library of other games as good as those on the N64, which is just false. Those games, Mario64, Zelda, Starfox64, and Goldeneye were the only redeeming titles on the system. Playstation had thousands upon thousands of titles, including the Parappa series, the Bemani series, Tenchu, MGS, Twisted Metal, Castlevania: SOTN, Smackdown, Final Fantasy... Actually ANY game that was ported to console that was worth half a shit and not made by Nintendo was on the Playstation. N64 had about 6 good games and a limited selection of shit to dress it up, and a stupid controller on top of all that.

I own both and got my N64 during the whole $64 deal thing they had going on just so I could play Mario 64 and Goldeneye, because those definitely WERE good games. Nintendo continues to make stupid business decisions and ruin themselves with their consoles and will eventually whittle their corporation down to a software development company, which is fitting since that's all they're really good at these days anyway. Then you can love Sony's products since you'll have your Mario games on that system and I won't have to hear about milestones in gaming history are pieces of shit compared to a plumber's refurbished wacky capers. It's a win-win situation.

Playstation didn't have Mario Party or Super Smash Brothers, or anything else like that. The only good PS1 games I have played are MGS and Silent Hill (), but those were piles of shit compared to the quality of N64's titles.

ArrowX Glad to see I'm not the only one to try tht

As of late I've been finding Redeeming Qualities in the GC if Nintendo can get their head out of their ass and do what people want instead of setting up a niche market with about 10 good games, they can probably hit #2 in the game sales soon after the Xbox is cut from MS.

EisigerBiskuit That thing became a grappling hook when you couldn't find anything to play. Branch didn't hold. :(

ziggytrix Do you like Pepsi or Coke? I think Pepsi is gross, yuck!

ABSeNCe I think people go so nuts about console wars because they want to assure themselves they made the right buy. All the systems are good, and bad in some ways. Why not just let it go guys? :/

executioneer this just in some obscure company has just patented the internet so u better all get off it right now or else youll get sued
Mar 30th, 2005 03:39 PM
adept_ninja I dont get how people are loyal to one system I have them all and i like them all.
Mar 30th, 2005 03:31 PM
Ninjavenom Obviously you don't know good gaming, because you just shit on a galaxy of good games
Mar 30th, 2005 03:27 PM
Guitar Woman Ahh yes, the inevitable fall of Sony. I've been waiting for this ever since some dork in middleschool started preaching about how much "better" the PS1 was than N64.
This lawsuit is the happiest thing I've read all day, and tonight I'm gonna party til I'm purple. :spongebob
Mar 30th, 2005 01:01 AM
Chojin xbox controllers do this too. one of the guys responding to the article had a great point in that NASA invented the centrifuge and an idea of a spinning counterbalance machine to begin with. There was also a lawsuit with AVG against sony, namco, atari, etc etc etc over using 'a 3D-rendered device that shades objects and has zoom controls'. Patents are way out of hand in the US and while you may not think this case is very important, shit like this threatens peoples' ability to create ANYTHING, not to mention destroy the entire videogame industry if these assholes get what they want.

executioneer RE: code veronica for ps2 would not have been half as good without the vibration
Mar 29th, 2005 06:05 PM
thebiggameover vibrating controller. and sony a-peal-ed, so they can still sell ps2s and stuff....
Mar 29th, 2005 04:47 PM
Emu Wait, what exactly did Sony infringe on? A vibrating controller, or the dual analog system?
Mar 29th, 2005 03:33 PM
James The odd thing is that what is being claimed to be "infringed" upon is actually only vaguely similar to what is used in the Dual Shock. I don't have the original article, but I believe the only thing they both had in common was they both vibrated. But the patented item in question had very little to do with force-feedback vibration.
Mar 29th, 2005 03:28 PM
Ninjavenom Does this mean no dual analog or something? Because PS2 has the most comfortable controller i've ever used.
Mar 29th, 2005 12:14 PM
BlueOatmeal I remeber when I got Metal Gear Soild for the PS, I went into the options menu, clicked on high vibration or whatever it was and put the controller on my crotch. Godammit that was an awesome game!
Mar 29th, 2005 11:57 AM
timrpgland Vibration is overrated in my opinion anyway. I usually take it off for alot of games. Go to set the controller down and BRRBRBRBRBRRRBRBRR it rumbles off the coffee table.

The last time I really cared about the vibration feature is when it first came to N64 included with Star Fox 64. Other than that, I tend to find it annoying.
