I know some of the best games of all time were released for the n64 but I never liked the muddy blurry visuals of it

I played hundreds of hours of Goldeneye with friends and when they released a high rez version for xbox live or whatever that service was it was great but going back to the original is painful now

A cleaned up HD collection of the best n64 games would be amazing

Super Mario 64 was great when it came out and aged horribly since. Most games for the 64 have.

I'm not even a very big Mario fan (Sonic4life) but Mario 64's movement system holds up insanely well and is still one of the best for a 3D platformer ever devised.

The gameplay of those games is still awesome today - I loved the WCW wrestling games from that era too

It's alright to think the visuals are dated though because most of the n64 art styles didn't hold up nearly as well as like a 2d sprite based art style would or whatever

Mario 64's visual style held up a lot better than most of the N64 games though

The best thing about Mario 64 is that talking about the more advanced techniques people use for speedruns and stuff makes you sound like a crazy person

It's great that even decades later speedrunners are still finding new secrets and shortcuts in games people have played all those years

never liked the original sonics because as a platformer it doesn't exist and as an enjoyable speed rush game it keeps loving with you every 1-3 seconds. and then after those games when they went 3d sonic became so low rent, lovely, muddy looking and muddy controls. piece of sh*tnic

my girlfriend makes fun of me for pronouncing Mario like "marry-o" instead of "mar-ee-o" but i'm from a place where people are actually named Mario and nobody calls them mar-ee-o

Mario 3 is the best Mario game, because it was the first one where everyone felt right and made sense.

Sonic 1 is a great first level and then it's honestly kind of a really weird, janky, bad game, but Sonic 2 and 3 are loving awesome and I disagree with your analysis!!!!

Watching Discovery, and its actually good? People on this show def read the old FASA sourcebooks. The era of spaceboat fights is ending and these are the people in its twilight. Six episodes in and almost no Big Speeches On The Bridge. A lot more action oriented, but given the setting it makes sense. But I guess after what the gently caress ever that poo poo Enterprise was, all bets are off on what makes a trek show a trek show. The teleport drive gimmick is a bit much tho.

Sonic 4 is real, legit bad. Especially the episode where you gently caress tails to do special moves or whatever the gently caress that was.

S3C and Mania are masterpieces.

Mario 64 is one of very few games I play through on a yearly or a semi-yearly basis. Which, now I'm thinking about it, I've never compiled a list, so, in chronological order, for nobody who will care...

The Legend of Zelda
Goonies II
Wing Commander Privateer
Myst
Riven
Mario 64
Uplink (though this only takes a couple hours)
Some fuckhead stole my copy of Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow, but that was one.
Fallout: New Vegas (Replaced Fallout 2)

What a weird collection of games.

I remember thinking Privateer was the coolest thing ever but I can't even remember why. Every spaceboat game that promises to be that has been a miserable experience.

i like finding decent weapons and hoping to find more as my stuff breaks but some body should tell me where to get some good swords early on in zelda. it should be one of you who aren't in the games forum, being able to remember exactly where you found good weapons, early in the game.

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
I remember if you climb up a path where a river meets a cliff, there’s a giant fire sword. It’s up in a cave inside the cliff. It’s down the way from the first stable.

I don’t think this is helpful; I have failed you I’m sorry

i'm going to find the fire sword. i already climbed a hill and found an eight something blade and then went into the town shrine and got another couple of swords. i'm going to have plenty of supplies, for a short while

"And the DICK?"

Find a Hinox they got a bunch of stuff dangling off of them. There's also a colosseum-type place that has a bunch of elemental weapons, but there's a lynel at the bottom so watch out.

BOTW is so goddamn good. My second play through I barely touched the story for like fifty hours, just smashing rocks and slamming shrines and making my hero’s path highlight the screen.

If it’s your first playthrough, I envy you.

He says "Mar-ee-o" and it's disrespectful to knowingly mispronounce his name.

I have never played a Souls game but would like to start. I have Dark Souls 3 on Steam, but I've been thinking of getting Remastered on Steam or Switch. Any thoughts?

Start with remastered, the bosses on 3 will absolutely wreck you and may turn you off the game entirely. Remastered is mechanically perfect, eases you into all the soulsbourniro concepts great.
