It's ok. Some of the episodes are pretty funny, some I don't care for.

General / Re: Why do people hate on the N64?
« on: January 05, 2015, 12:36:41 pm »
I certainly don't "hate" the N64, but it was most assuredly my least favorite Nintendo console having owned them all to date. I think a lot of the dislike/hate has to do with drawing comparisons to the PlayStation which was it's direct competitor. Nintendo stuck with the tried & true cartridge format which restricted what could be done with games. On the other hand, the PlayStation opened the floodgates. We were treated to these huge, sprawling worlds. Real music. Real voiceovers. FMV which at the time was a really big deal. Adult themes that we had never experienced. Think about it: Before PlayStation, there were no Resident Evil's or Tomb Raider's. Final Fantasy exploded with FFVII and Castlevania had arguably it's best entry ever in Symphony of the Night. Square, Titus, Enix, Atlus and just about every other RPG developer under the sun pumped out game after game after game. How about Working Design's JRPG's? The Lunar collections, Arc the Lad, Alundra....fantastic games. And while PlayStation was getting all these great games, N64 was pretty much relegated to Nintendo-made games, some 2nd party stuff and very few 3rd party titles. And for whatever reason-call my kooky if you want-I didn't like Ocarine of Time or Mario 64 at all. And while people were going gaga for GoldenEye 007, I was playing Quake, Unreal and Doom on my PC and just couldn't get into a FPS on a console.
