| Kyuu said: PS1 had over 6000 (edit: actually... 7000) more games, and shovelware is irrelevant and misleading. Let's say: Console A has a library of 5 games, all of them masterpieces. 100% masterpieces. Console B has a library of 100 games, 15 of them masteepieces, 25 are very good, 60 are shovelware. 15% masterpieces. Console B is objectively the superior platform by a wide margin. Successful platforms will always have more shovelware, Playstation, Xbox, Wii, Switch, and most of all... PC. But the shovelware don't detract from the quality of the existing great games, and are in fact a nice bonus, because there are plenty of gems hidden underneath the rubble and when you find them, you're in for a treat. Exploring that is pretty fun and definitely adds value. I'm actually willing to explore Saturn because it apparenly has more games released exclusively in Japan than N64's entire game library! Your comparison is an odd one. Why use Syphon Filter to make a point when FF7 is one of your favorite games of all time? Syphon Filter doesn't even make the top 100 in so many people's favorite PS1 games. N64 has quality. PS1 has quality, quantity, diversity, and more games that have aged well, because it covers genres and styles that don't require precise control over the character and camera movement. Golden Eye aged poorly, as have the controls of most N64 classics. Maybe not as poorly as PS1's platformers/3rd person games, but pootly nevertheless. 2D didn't age at all... if anything, old 2D is arguably superior to modern 2D. Fighting games and RPG's are two genres that aged well... PS1 and Saturn excelled there. And I wish you would answer my simple question, but it doesn't look like you want to. You're trying to pass an entirely subjective take (that is probably based on a very limited PS1 experience) as an objective point. The fact of the matter is... once you're done playing the few N64 must have, you're left with nothing great to play. PS1 didn't have that issue. There is something there for everyone. Again, you're entitled to your opinion, but it's a VERY subjective one. Objectively, PS1 had quality AND quantity. |
To each their own. Alot of PS1 games did not gain my interests except for afew. Where as the N64 library majority of the Nintendo and Rare games were must play. Its my opinion and preference not yours here. I dont care if a console has 10k games on it. I am basing this off quality and the N64 in my opinion destroyed my PS1 in that category.
What question do you want me to answer? I thought i answered it a while ago.
