yeah. being harder to work with will discourage people from wanting to interact with it.
I still really enjoy n64 games from time to time but it's nowhere near as good as the PS1. The only games worth playing are the 12 games that Nintendo fans talk about.
The same games people list of it over and over again are great (even greater if you play the recompiled version of both Majora's Mask and Ocarina, and in the case of M64 play the coop version, it's just so much fun) and aside from some titles like Ganbare Goemon ,Sin and Punishment and those two Castlevanias(i hope a PC recompilation comes for those two, it would prove how good they are), and little few others that don't come into my mind right now, yeah it's not that excellent of a console.
I'm surprised that my take wasn't as hot as I expected especially on a retro game forum
It's definitely still an unpopular opinion because nostalgia has clouded most people's judgement of the system.
Racing Lagoon is still one of the best games on the console (the story is incredibly deep and takes a psychological twist) even though the controls take some getting used to. Driving felt like shit until it clicked and I was able to breeze through the whole rest of the game barely hitting barriers.
MOST NUCLEAR MOST MELTING MOST LIGHTNING STRIKING SHOCKING HOT TAKE YOU'LL EVER SEE YOU'LL EVER READ YOU'LL EVER EXPERIENCE
Replayed them summer of 2023 and I totally prefer it over the first one. Now THAT'S hot!HOTTEST
ENTER IF YOU DARE
Banjo-Tooie is okay and I really liked playing it in multiplayer with friends
Its definitely an interesting game, like in terms of stories in racing games, its the pinnacle. But its also very RPG, yes your vehicle starts off weak, but as you grind races you get better and better. But it also has some of the worst driving ever, and its possible that you can just get hit by really lopsided races, and losing sometimes removes parts from your vehicle, causing the vehicle to do even worse, and enter a downward spiral. But i think if its a matter of, racing game vs racing game, Ridge Racer has far better handling, and also much less rage inducing.
I agree on the soundtrack being GOATED , the rebel army theme , the palamecia castle theme , that one boss fight theme , but really all FF games soundtracks are GOATED so...
Yeah ridge racer is miles better, rr4 and the psp version are the best handling in the series. 5 is okay, but a little harder to get used to. I loved the aspect of racing lagoon where you can lose parts since it feels more fair instead of you being able to take whatever you want but the enemies can't do anything, I never really spiraled off it because by the point I hit a strong car I knew what other cars I could beat to make up for the loss
I had some bad luck with the random encounters 3 times in a row, where if i beat them it would've been huge, but their cars were so much better, that i just kept losing parts. But the driving in Racing Lagoon is still more realistic than something like Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition.
True that, only played Chain of Memories (TBF a crappy introduction to the saga due to the cards mechanic) and i barely got past the first set of card worlds
What i say might be a hot take, but i think, at least from what i've seen since CDRomance and then this site, that people here have matured to the point that they at least recognize that a good thing can have flaws and still be enjoyable, and that's good.
