I hope the Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster sells really well because it may convince EA to give another of their sci-fi trilogy’s the remaster treatment in DS. I will do my part. ME trilogy looks bloody solid and I kinda regret never playing it, but won't have to anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it's some money laundering racket. You can find sealed copies on eBay for a few thousand dollars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Correct, and the 'grading' of games is an unreal con, hate to see it. M64 isn't even that uncommon a game for collectors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I’m saying it, I don’t care and no one will ever change my mind. Super Mario 64 absolutely sucks big hairy monkey balls and I thought it completely sucked back in the day too. Most overrated game ever made with the worst controls ever devised and with the worst camera controls in any game ever. It truly blows my mind that people rank it higher than Sunshine. **** Super Mario 64. Ughhhhhhhh. Wooooooooo. God damn. Jesus, I’ve been holding that in for 25 years.

Super Mario 64 on the N64 controller has probably the tightest controls of any game I've ever played. Camera controls being wonky is to be expected given it came out in 1996!

I've recently tried Mario Sunshine for the first time. Got it as part of the 3D allstars package. It's absolute shit. Doesn't feel like a Mario game. Feels like a third party has produced a knockoff and somehow got the license for the characters. I lasted about 2 hours and put it down. Mario 64 hasn't aged well but at the time it was phenomenal. Agree that the camera controls were dodgy, but controlling Mario was perfect Edited August 3, 2021 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmix Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 None of the Mario games are as good as Sonic 2 (the greatest game of all time) though. *ducks for cover* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2021 Mario 64 is a groundbreaker. In retrospect it's rough, but it was basically doing things nobody had worked out yet. It's the thing that spawned every 3d platformer that followed. Sunshine is not good. It doesn't have the great design of Nintendo's normal fare, at times feels amateurish and broken (a few minutes on YouTube will reveal hundreds of bizarre glitches and issues - a Mario games shouldn't have you fall through the floor during a platform section for instance), and the Fludd backpack is the gimmick to end all gimmicks.

The_Rev Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 You've got to throw some credit at Tomb Raider for 3D platforming innovation too. It came out four months after Mario 64's Japanese launch (June 96 vs October 96) but for most people in Europe it was the first good/big 3D platformer they'd have got to play because Mario 64 didn't come out until 1997 over here. I'm sure there were a few people who imported, but you had to have an NTSC compatible N64 and TV to do be able to play it so the number would have been tiny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I despised Tomb Raider as a result from that very first time I played it, all the way up until I played the first reboot game, which is properly excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2021 Tomb Raider was annoying but it always annoyed me how it all worked on like a grid. One of her big steps was exactly one square of the ground. So it felt like everything was done in right angles and blocks.

Keyblade Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Being able to precisely move Mario 360 degrees in 1996 was revolutionary, and still controls like a dream in 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Salad Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Anyone else a big fan of Half-Life? Recently pulled out my PS2 from storage and beat the first one. Bought back some good memories and plan on getting the second on ebay and beating it again as well. Hopefully they release another one at some point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
