- tristor 2y agoI really liked the N64, but if we're being charitable it's probably like 30-40 games. For any given console, even those that achieve legendary status, the game quality follows a Pareto distribution, 80% is crap, 20% is worth playing after the console has left the public mind.
- TheGRS 2y agoWhat no one wants to revisit Nagano Winter Olympics or Tetrisphere? Its probably closer to 50 if you want to include some of the lesser-known but interesting titles IMO. One of the most interesting games was Body Harvest since its clearly a prototype for a lot of what became GTA3
- tacker2000 2y agoHaha Nagano! I played countless hours of ski jumping with my friends back then
- sixothree 2y agoAnd for consoles like PS2 or OG Xbox or newer, so so many games have newer versions on other platforms
- acchow 2y ago20% seems far too generous
- phatskat 2y ago> For any given console, even those that achieve legendary status, the game quality follows a Pareto distribution, 80% is crap, 20% is worth playing after the console has left the public mind. Is this just your best guess? Because you sound confident and then cite the Pareto distribution, but just like a certain Internet personality, there’s no data to support a claim you’re making but it does _sound_ factual.
