Games that haven't aged well

[Chad]

Honestly, because some people still love Xenogears. And rightfully so, it was awesome to play and behold when it came out. The graphics aren't holding up too well for me. I press the menu button and it takes way too long to pop up (as in, not instant). Then there's the battle camera. Lord. I mean, honestly, I really loved the game before. Mostly. I just tried to play it the other day and it didn't feel quite as good.

What games do you think have aged most poorly?

Doom 3.

everyone I know hates it now.

I'll go the obvious route and say FF7.

Pfft, Xenogears aged better than FFVII. Even when I first played the game in 1998, I was like WTF?

Vagrant Story - I love the game. There are a lot of things that hold up well within it, but the graphics are a real eyesore now, and the controls are a little clunky. I'd give Mora's left nut to see this freshened up a la Tomb Raider.

Dragon Warrior - I had a ton of fun playing this when I was little (on the NES). I've put it in for nostalgia's sake and can't imagine being entertained by it...5 minutes is about as much as I can take.

Starwars: Shadows of the Empire: I tried playing this game a few months ago, and I could barely get my person to move... I loved it when the game first came out though.

Jak and Daxter, Jak 2.

Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina Of Time

the game impressed me when it first came out, but for the past four or so years, I just can't stand trying to replay it. especially the water temple.

with the texture smoothing option for ps2, i think the graphics have more personality and atmosphere than most games for any console, old or new. some of the best ever, imo.

I can't wait to replay Vagrant Story thanks to a certain cow.

This post is correct.

And I agree with everyone ELSE mentioned so far. I think the whole N64 library is outdated.

Oh MAN, Legend of Dragoon? In one scene, Rose's leg literally popped apart!

Who let the game ship with stuff like that?

I think of all the N64 titles, Starfox 64 really, really still holds up. Along with Paper Mario.

I can hardly stand to play through Mario 64.

Re: Games that haven't aged well

So are we talking about replay value after 5 years or something?

In that case, obviously the winner is Ico.

Re: Games that haven't aged well

I think just looks/gameplay.

I wish I could remember the name for an N64 game, ''somthing: the last mage'' or whatever. It was good when I got it, now I can't stand a minute.
