Mind you, racing in games and racing games are two completely separate beasts. Now, moving onto those more personal issues, the most extreme ones that I harbor against games are flying and racing. In those moments, Super Mario 64 was anything but enjoyable. In most cases, I ended up with Mario leaping to his death because I couldn’t judge distances properly. I remember getting stuck multiple times (particularly on Tiny-Huge Island) in spots where I just couldn’t position the camera correctly. And sometimes, it was no help at all as you attempted to maneuver Mario in his brand new 3D world. And though Super Mario 64’s camera was a step in a decent direction (using the c-pad on the N64 controller to move it in, out, left, and right), it only helped so much. ![]() Problems with camera mechanics can plague games even to this day. And in this case I can’t help but bring my own biases in because, well…they affect every game I play, the great ones and the awful ones.īut before getting into those, I think I can safely say that if one general gripe about the game remains true to this day, is it the game’s camera. Either way, Super Mario 64 isn’t flawless. Because as rosy as I might paint the game today, it had, and still has…issues. So how about I take a step back for a moment and look at Super Mario 64 from another point of view. It’s fucking Super Mario 64.Īlright, so I’m biased. It’s a magical, brilliant, varied, and complex game that works on all levels, from mechanics to controls to gameplay. It’s the game that showed us a whole new dimension of the Mario-verse, and one to which future games would be perennially compared. It’s the game that gave players a new ways of and freedom to explore. It’s the game that normalized 3D graphics. It’s Super Mario 64 for chrissakes! It’s the game-changing title that annihilated the gaming field of the time and solidified Nintendo’s reign among consoles in the 1990s. There’s no point in continuing on any further because…how is this not a must-play game? It simply is. Oh, did you think there was going to be more? Well, joke’s on you buddy, because there isn’t. If no, then do I want to play the game before I die? I will not be critiquing the list itself, but rather I’ll be discussing each game or games in whatever manner feels fitting and will attempt to answer a couple simple questions: Have I played ? If yes, do I consider it a “must” and why? If no, do I want to play the game before I die? I’ll be going through the games in the order in which they appear on the BuzzFeed list. Every other week I will be covering one or two games from “ 32 Video Games You Have To Play Before You Die,” a list compiled by BuzzFeed based on a reader poll. Hosted by 44 Bytes.Welcome to the next post in my year-long series “Play or Pass” that takes on the proverbial “must before death” theme with video games. © 2024 Hookshot Media, partner of ReedPop.
