It's a quirky over the top (in the japanese sense) excavator "sim" where you have to perform tasks within the time limit, from putting sand into the truck, destroy buildings or save turtles in the pool. What makes the game great is the insane controls which are hard as fuck to master, requiring you to use every button on the controller. But, once you get the hang of it, everything clicks. Feels like the japanese version of QWOP if that makes any sense.

I like so few games that it's not even really possible, so I made this instead
I'm being charitable with Exoddus and SotN since I don't enjoy them much, even if Oddysee is my favorite game
the PS2 is probably my favorite console overall due to Ico and SotC, although it has worse versions of the multiplats
>>
>>
>>
>>12410734
nah, that would be Abe's Oddysee, but SotC is 2nd
Oddysee > SotC > TS2 > RE4 > Prime is the top 5. RE4 is likely to overtake TS2 at some point though, I enjoy it more every time I play it
as for SotC barely being a game, not sure about that. it has less cutscenes than most games, it's only really the beginning and end that it lays them on
maybe it's the cinematic artsy presentation in general that trips people up, since it's not like you're watching Wander kill the colossi on your behalf, and who exactly is he gonna talk to, his horse, a dead chick on a slab?

theres not much reason to go back to ps2 (or xbox) since modern trash gaming began with those consoles and you can just play something recent that is the same shit but better. where as basically any other retro console is going to give you a unique experience

I don't know man, like a lot of ps2 games are kind of just movies or shit that was supposed to trick you into buying it and then you do and it's just shit. Like help me understand here, like I don't think budokai 3 is the game that makes a console GOATed. You could give me a nes rompack and I could play it for years and not be bored. I don't get that from Playstation movies, which unfortunately is what that series of consoles lent itself to best, and everything else is a quirky outlier. I just don't get it dood

I can understand your favorite console being the DC or Saturn or SNES if you're a little cheeky hipster cunt, but if you choose anything outside of these, and especially the PS1/PS2, you're just a massive lying internet points performative faggot. Who's generally a PS2 hater? I feel like it's Americans with their illogical 360/N64 love.

>The N64 for example otherwise has no reason being anyone's favorite
It has a number of really great games (yes, even outside of Nintendo's 1st party) and a good assortment of quality multiplayer games.
Also is home of a lot of celebrated racing games and has what is considered the most solid lineup of wrestling games.
I can see why some people might have it as their favorite, why not?
Small library but still you can get a lot of hours out of it, depending on what games you like.

Its because they used to have N64s inside of McDonalds, every American's place of worship. You didn't see PS1s, Saturns, 3DOs or Jaguars in there, if you did things would have turned out differently. Notice how pic related calls this the peak of humanity. Not Beethoven or the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel or the Great Pyramid of Giza. A fucking N64 kiosk in a McDonalds.

Here in brazil, back in the 90s, Nintendo partnered with Playtronic (for the SNES) Gradiente (for the N64) to officially manufacture and distribute both system here in the macacos land.
After the PS1 and PS2, SNES and N64 were big and still are big thanks to the retro market and nostalgia.

It's funny. If the N64 wasn't a Nintendo product and (rightly) discussed as much as it is, then it would be considered the ultimate hipster console that 'secretly' has all the best games you never played because you got a PlayStation instead and would be considered an elite thing among that crowd. If it has somehow actually been as unpopular as the Saturn in the west while having all the games it did it would be ridiculously prestigious.
>>
>>12412982
Based. The 64 was mostly a meme, with 10 great titles at best, while the PSX was the successor to the SNES if you wanted the same kind of sheer volume and variety as before.

The 'facts' are vague in ways that make them completely miss the point of what people claim Nintendo actually innovated.
Take the Radofin 1292 stick for example.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1292_Advanced_Programmable_Video_System
Of course there existed analog joysticks prior to the N64 controller, it's dishonest to make it look like people are saying otherwise. The innovation was in coming up with the format of the thumb control stick that you use while gripping the controller, which subsequent console controllers took after. It's this nuance that the rabid anti-Nintendo fag is dishonest about, which would be immediately apparent if you just posted images of the actual 'originators' in question, but you don't because that would immediately make the trollish nature of the thing obvious.
>>
>>12413343
>Take the Radofin 1292 stick for example.
It seems you choose to select a specific example, that deviates a little from the related nintendo product, to support your claim, generalizing it and disregarding all the other blatant facts. Typical fanboy behavior.
The point is that everyone should be thankful, including tendies, that all these things were invented and designed before Nintendo did (assuming they were so innovative, which is false, as historical evidence proves.). Imagine if Nintendo had the opportunity to patent all of this.

One of the perks of getting married is getting your wife's SNES collection. i wouldn't own that game, or R-Type otherwise.
>>12413316
NTA but my beef with the mega drive is that it leaned too hard into being "arcade but not as good". Without mentioning the sheer difference in availability of longer games like RPGs, the SNES managed to keep some of the design ethos for arcade gameplay with several of its pick-up-n-play oriented games, but even action platformers with low duration like Megaman X managed to squeeze a lot of value from exploration and unlockables that made replays interesting. The SNES knew it was a home console, and decided to host games that invested themselves in the benefit of it, it didn't leave me unsatisfied like the Mega Drive, to the point I'll usually boot up MAME before I even think of playing Mega Drive games. It was absolutely better than the SNES if you wanted to play arcade games at home in 1993, but that's not enough.
>>
>>
>>12413393
I said one of the perks, the things you mentioned are great too, especially when the wife agrees to raise the kid with old shows and old games exclusively for their first years. Can't wait for my toddler to develop the motor skills to hold the controller and play kirby with me.
>>
>>
>>12413460
When she can actually understand gameplay, sure, I intend to demolish her confidence in Super Bomberman 5 too. But she can barely stand now, I think I'll start with Kirby when she can actually look at a screen deliberately and not just reflexively.

Maybe he should just play games instead of trying to sit in a stagnant echo chamber. The more you are capable of playing, the greater the chance there is of something appealing to you, and it's impossible to know if something that looks repulsive or foreign to you was posted by someone who played all the garbage you liked 20 years ago and moved on. There honestly isn't even a lot of console games and all of them are really easy, it's pretty reasonable to expect anyone who didn't get off the boat yesterday to have played everything worthwhile. There's no such thing as a "hidden gem", if it's good I already know about it, and if you don't you're a retarded newfag and you won't learn about anything decent from threads like this.

The crazy thing about this image is the only game on this I'd actually replay is ape escape and I actually don't like it that much because the infinite moon bounce mechanic ruins time trials which is where 95% of the actual decent gameplay in ape escape is. I would not touch a single other game on here ever again.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>12416068
It's extremely easy to do and it upends the routing. Like the point of time trial is to move efficiently as possible. If that's not fun then it's a borked game. Like when I do a wall clip in mega man I'm just skipping shitty trivial parts of the game. When I do it in ape escape it's more efficient then engaging with the level at all. And it's a bug in every single game.

I've replayed most of the games on that list, some of them multiple times, and out of those I haven't replayed yet I plan on doing so. I don't understand why you think that honestly, even some of the JRPGs there I find very replayable.

I know, I don't get what this other dude is trying at by obsessively insulting it.

I can't insult even the things I have some disagreement with because it's so full of an actual variety of solid picks that are clearly thoughtfully judged with minimal prejudice towards their status or reputation.
