Well-Hung Jury N64 vs. Playstation

[Ants!]

I didn't know that. In that case ignore the multiplatform game lol.

 

[Mark]

I think its an age thing, younger got N64 and older and teens more likely got the PS1

PS1 destroyed the N64 in sales, hell even in Japan I think the Saturn sold more than the N64

This is also a major element that I didn’t even consider, because I had the PSX shortly after launch and my little brother (7 years younger) had the N64 as his first legit console that wasn’t a hand-me-down from me. My first console was a Genesis that was bought from a crackhead that stole them out of Woolworth’s back in the day.

 

[Ants!]

Nah I was a teen and although I got both systems I definitely went for the n64 first.

That’s where I’m conflicted, because I remember just as many people losing their shit over OoT and SM64 in my class as the Crash, Twisted Metal, MGS, FFVII crowd. The only difference that I can recall was the “popular” kids gravitated towards the N64 while the more “nerdy” kids gravitated towards the PSX because it offered a more varied selection, including the early American ports of JRPG’s and the more mature stuff like the Twisted Metal and MGS stuff.

 

[Smacktard]

I think it mostly boils down to:
N64: Gameplay-driven games
PS: Narrative-driven games
Comedy Saturn option: Arcade-style games

Both companies cater to the same formats even today

 

[Ants!]

Oh snap I forgot about twisted metal. Like a gritty version of Mario Kart. That shit was awesome.

 

[Quagmire]

Platformer navigation + timed hits is a recipe for excellent and engaging RPG design, and I don't know why more games don't do this. Paper Mario is excellent. If you were turned off by the aesthetic, you should really give it a shot. Bug Fables is a fantastic Paper Mario-like, but with the difficulty ramped up quite a bit.

More turned off from what I will likely get from characters and story, I play rpgs for story first

 

[Ants!]

It was a very genre-oriented generation. N64 had the good platformers and multiplayer, PS1 had almost all of the RPGs.

PS1 has the worst version of Gaunlet Legends.

Where is your god now, atheists?

 

[Tommy Boy]

Both of these were way too important to my childhood to have to pick between the both. I'd like to imagine I played both equally and they both had their pros and cons - but owning both of them at the same time made anything like that negligible. Good luck jury lol.

 

[Ants!]

I think this one is ready for Deliberation. @Mark I can't change the prefix since I'm not the first post on this one.

 

[A Punched Face]

Hm. I have a preference for N64, but I think it's because we were probably more likely to get those games over PS1 games growing up. We had to share the TV a lot, so it was harder to get more of the RPG games going, and we stuck to games we could play more quickly or on multiplayer.

 

[Ants!]

Honestly if it wasn't for FF7 I'm not sure if we would have ever bought our Playstation. We played Final Fantasy since the very first one on the Nes and it was one of our favorite series so imagine how psyched we were to see those trailers for a 3D FF game with Cloud riding his motorcycle down a highway in Midgar with his big ol Buster sword.

I definitely missed this earlier. There goes another fine.

 

[Smacktard]

*ahem*

Your honor, as the jury foreperson, I would like to speak on behalf of the jury about our judgment.

The following are the results of the jury's discussion:

• Two members are in favor of the N64, citing established precedent from the case of Quality v. Quantity, and the nostalgic joy of couch co-op.
• One member is in favor of the PS1, citing the technological advances ushered in by the PS1, which continue to be iterated upon even today.
• The remaining three members are not able to decide between the two, citing the relative strengths of each console.

As such, we, the jury, are not able to reach a verdict.

*bangs cornichon*

 

[A Punched Face]

That's a big jury. MISTRIAL.

Smaller jury.

 

[Ants!]

@Mark can you change to Verdict prefix plz

 

[Mark]

@Mark can you change to Verdict prefix plz

Done. Do we need any others? Or should any of them be changed?

 

[Ants!]

Nah

 

[A Punched Face]

How can a verdict have been reached if no verdict was reached?

The trial had a hung jury (lol) which means you need to have a new trial with a new jury and new evidence until a verdict is reached.

Those are problems indeed. I suggest maybe a new prefix, and also submit for appeal? Which I assume means a different judge as well as different jury.

I mean we can make whatever rules for this court we want. Doesn't need to abide exactly to any real world example.

How else could we get a thread prefix of "Well-Hung Jury" though?! Think of the consequences!

Cases can end in a hung jury, or jury nullification.

Neither of those is a verdict.

I think that's dependant on who gets selected tbh

Ohhhhh, I see what you mean, now

Also: Tie or "the fuck if we know"

 

[Jawneh]

Also also, I want a badge for being on the well-hung jury along with my peers.

No badges. Then everyone would just force a hung jury and we would tarnish the good reputation of the GW Court System.

Not to mention making a mockery of the badge system

 

[Jawneh]

At least a "I did a jury doody" badge.

 

[Ants!]

My thoughts exactly lol

 

[shortkut]

I’m just glad to know I was part of this jury pool

 

[Ants!]

And I'm glad that Jawneh was left with blue balls.

Of future note: Tommy Boy will NOT take one for the team if you ask him.

You don’t want me to make that, so, you might wanna ask @Ben super nicely.

…or this, sounds like a case in the works.

…not even a compliment will bend him (over). Sad.

 

[Jawneh]

I feel cheated, ignored, and (sexually) repressed. This is a dark day for the oral tradition of servicing (justice).

 

[Smacktard]

Go directly to horny jail

Psst. What do you think this elaborate resurrection of GW is?

Ps1 has both quality and quantity

I do enjoy some handcuffs

[Ants!]

Good thing I agreed to be a judge, because otherwise I'd be the first to get sentenced to horny jail.

 

[MC74]

Debates like these is enough to turn one neutral. Mark's post from earlier sums it up. They both excelled in areas that made each console an enjoyable experience.

 

[Ants!]

As judge I am uniquely qualified to send people to horny jail.

This could be a real thing here…

Y'all making horny jail sound like something bad...

Ps1 has both quality and quantity

Nothing on PS1 stands up to OoT, SM64, Mario Kart 64, Mario Party 2, and Goldeneye in their respective genres, or in terms of overall quality. So you have the top Action/Adventure, top 3D platformer, top Kart game, top party game, and top FPS of that gen all on N64.

The only "top" I can think of for PS1 in that gen were MGS1 (stealth) and Castlevania SotN (metroidvania).

Edit: can't believe I forgot FF7 for RPG. That one rivals the greats on N64
