You guys seriously need to take off the nostalgia goggles with this game

You guys seriously need to take off the nostalgia goggles with this game.

I never will

it's not nostalgia, it's a genuinely good game

it may not be the best 3D platformer ever made, but it's not bad by any means

Only recently played it after having pretty much never touched the Mario series except for spin offs. Didn't "get" it. Absolutely didn't click with me, and found it a struggle to motivate myself through some of the later levels due to the clunky camera and that awful N64 stick.

But first

You need to stop using the term nostalgic goggles as an argument as to why a game is bad. You are retarded

Quake 3 Arena
When I was young, I accidentally killed my cat while playing with him and threw his corpse into the dumpster, my parents still think he ran away

There are really great elements in Mario 64, but I just can't understand what they were thinking for half of this shit. The bower levels are top notch, but the main courses themselves play like tech demos. The game just can't get into top gear with so many issues like these.

I get that it was early days, but this game actually influenced a lot of the (bad) design elements of 1990s games for years afterwards. It needed another year of development. We could have seen a different industry, let alone a different game.

lmao, take your garbage thread elsewhere, attentionwhore

No they don't. They saw it in the dumpster and never said anything to you.

It's time to leave Sup Forums bro

Why do you fucking care, cunt. You were born after 2000. Go fucking play minecraft

I don't cuz we have half A presses and QPUs which happened this year

We did. Now we are exploring the deepest lore there is.

Nice try, """""Henry"""""

An A press is an A press, you can't just call it half an A press

galaxy is better

This game set the standard for 3d platformers. It broke significant ground. If you can't understand that then you need to wait until you're old enough to post here.

What did you do

Considering the game managed to cement the foundations for 3D home gaming, it was pretty much - and still is - a masterpiece of game design.

You're just too young to appreciate the impact it had. Not trying to be offensive. Just stating the troof.

Also, go fuck yourself.

I played it for the first time in 2014 and honestly think it's a great game.

That being said it might be 1 of the 5 worthwhile games on that shitty piece of shit console.

How many times do we have to tell you to fuck off, """"""""Henry"""""""""""?

i did it to bring discussion
or half of one

Hi bait

Why should I? Its damn impressive what it did as a launch title for the N64. Should that just be forgotten because its 2016 now and technology has gotten better (barely)?

Let me guess

You think Goldeneye is a 10/10 and should be on any Top Ten Games Of All Time list?
