controls are abysmal, new characters either break the level design in a boring way (luigi) or just feel miserable to play as (yoshi, wario), new content generally does not add much of anything to the game. fails to understand anything about why the original was so good and just feels like some glorified tech demo rather than a remake that needed to happen.
carried hard by nostalgia, convinced that anyone who thinks this is better than the original booted up 64 for like 15 minutes and then never touched it again. there's very much a reason why the speedrunning scene for this game is completely dwarfed by the original.
pretty miserable game, only redeemed by the fact that it's still mario 64 (ableit a much shittier version of it)

i like this game a lot but it's slightly overhyped
gameplay-wise, it's the hardest to revisit because there's so little to do compared to future entries (especially during ng+)
story-wise, it has the best final act out of the three modern persona games, but the rest of the story is pretty much about on-par with 4 and 5 imo
the main cast is probably my least favorite between 3-5 (i don't like yukari, koromaru doesn't really add anything to the party's dynamic, and ken is just kinda irrelevant to anything outside of akihiko's character arc) but junpei, akihiko, and aigis are probably some of my most favorite characters in the series
for a first-time playthrough, i think the game is still good, but it's still very jank and barren compared to future installments in the series. replaying it after finishing p5r just kinda makes even more apparent.
i still respect and enjoy this game for what it is, but i feel people look past all its issues way too much because of all the persona 4 bad and persona 5 cringe shit takes on twitter.

the most bland pokemon game i've ever played
several ideas are thrown at the wall and almost none of them stick
the new pokemon are cool, the pss was a great addition, fairy type is cool, but everything else about the game is so forgettable
after gamefreak took risks with the gen 5 games, they reeled back and played it much safer with this uninteresting mess of a game
it's competently made and perfectly playable, but lacks so much of the charm that made the older games and even the gen 7 games much better than this piece of shit
gen 1 pandering was at a high during this game, but it doesn't really make sense because this game came out before all the genwunners got back into the series - it just ends up being lame ass kanto references one after another and i can't help but to roll my eyes thinking about it all
the only reason to still own this game is just to use it to complete the dex in a different 3ds pokemon game
