Games you used to find great but no longer do
Lots of game age poorly or not as well as we wish they did. Obviously there are games we liked when we were kids but as adults not so much anymore. I'm not even talking about mediocre licensed games we thought were fun when we were kids simply due to starring our favourite cartoon or comic book characters and thus we didn't know any better. I'm talking about games that were critically acclaimed and generally considered to be great when they came out but nowadays don't really give you that same feel anymore.
The biggest example I can think of personally is Ocarina of Time. This game used to feel so epic when i was a kid. The story, the setting.. .everything. It was also the first game I felt an emotional connection with its characters. It's still a good game and the 3DS remake is good... but it doesn't feel as magic anymore. I'd rather play A Link to the past or Majora's Mask these days as far as Zelda games go. Meanwhile, games like SMW, Pokémon Red, Street Fighter II, Mega Man 2, DKC, Sonic 2, etc. still hold up for me and I can just pick up and play them anytime without feeling bored or burnt out of them. They'll always be fun for me. Next comes Star Fox 64: I also revered this game back in the mid-late 90s and played it countless times. It's probably the game that helped me learn English the most alongside Pokémon Red Then come Sega Saturn classics such as Daytona USA, Virtua Cop 2 Sega Rally, Virtua Fighter 2, Fighting Vipers and Fighters' Megamix; I guess. They look kinda ugly and clunky these days, but that's expected I guess. They were rather early 3D games tbh. What about you? |
