I will also participate in the conversation about consoles, giving heed this is a game forum. The Drive By is what it is, yet the topic has only started.

Easy: no load times. The cartridges were also highly durable which was thoughtful towards the youth, not to mention the postponement and suppression of piracy – an issue for which Sony had to pay a heavy price.

I have fond memories of NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance; GameCube being the first Nintendo console I have no actual experience with. While I cannot state strong opinions about a console I have no experience with, I could also say that the GameCube was quite a letdown in the series of Nintendo consoles (partly explaining why I switched to Xbox), though the Nintendo Wii gracefully brought it up into the competition again. The Nintendo 64 is definitely a worthy shot and overall better than the PlayStation One (I know; I've been through these very subjects). With experience of the both, I can say that the PlayStation One's greatest upside was the reality-simulating games, namely Gran Turismo. Multiplatform games such as Grand Theft Auto 2 gathered a wide audience for the PSX, yet that didn't make it the superior console seeing GTA was and has always been better on the computer. Sony was certainly too hasty with the development towards realism – after all the PlayStation was still far, far away from photorealism and continues to be.

The N64 was widely more innovative and had far less rushed games in comparison to the PSX. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time must have been one of the biggest successes of the N64, if not the biggest, and to this day it is a game worthy of delving into. Mario Kart 64, the sequel to Super Mario Kart, was decent along with GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, Pilot Wings, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, Lylat Wars (Star Fox 64 in the U.S.) and Super Mario 64. Turok was a lackluster in my bookshelf.

I played the latest Mario Kart, for the Wii, in my friend's and I find no reason for me to take a step backwards in development of a series that has hardly changed throughout its seven installations. Many of the games required friends to play with nonetheless; the Nintendo 64 was not the console for a loner in general. To this day, probably only Ocarina of Time would make me plug my Nintendo 64 to the TV and even that feels iffy considering the analog sticks always lost their responsiveness especially if you played a lot of the first-person shooters. GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time (the foremost N64 games IMO) have all been refurbished in the 21st century, thus going back to an inferior console serves little to no purpose if you have got the new accordingly consoles at hand. Still, the Nintendo 64 was a pioneer in the gaming industry in a plethora of aspects. The incapability of adjusting to a children-themed game and enjoying it can likewise derive from possible stupidity. There is nothing wrong with being childlike sometimes, childish is another thing.

Nothing is more ignorant than blaming the opinions of an audience of a system one has no real experience with, you «fruitcake went bananas».To reiterate Lucifer (whose pro-flaming ideology I don't quite agree with): consider also taking a nap once in a while in lieu of roaming on MKO «24/7», a part you had to cut out from the final edition for reasons clear.

Whereas threatening or borderline threatening are cases I sordidly frown upon, he did not make a physical threat but merely told his thoughts, e.g. you can tell in front of a police officer that you were planning on robbing a bank yesterday. That's what you were thinking – thinking is not forbidden nor is honesty. On the contrary, they are valuable attributes. You should try.

Murcielago did indeed proceed to sit there silently since he may not have talked out loud and, assuming the incoherent Internet slang, he wrote that in future tense and he did not break the pledge before your response. Furthermore, Murcielago was speaking to Jesus, not you, QuestionMark.

Harassing and degrading other members is not acceptable. As such, there'll be very little tolerance for "flaming".

I am agape to find out the measures of cowardice from the community in situations like these, and that includes the staff. If there are specific rules written, then you have to follow them. If you cannot follow and instruct them correctly, you are not eligible for counseling them either. I do not mean that anyone should go rampant and do egoistic choices now but to do what is right without many exceptions; neither do I imply that every user would have been cowardly herein yet this didn't go exactly as supposed to either.
I will accommodate Jaded-Raven & co. for great efforts still and all, and by no means I intend to eradicate anyone here. In the end, there is no wrong or right console; I for one have an Xbox 360 despite I believe the PS3 draws the longest straw in general – preferences. The bottom line being: the N64 is better than what you gave credit for. That is virtually my €0.02.
