We all have those games from our past that we loved to play. After school, weekends, hoildays, and so on. But some of those games look horrible when played today. What are some of your favorite games taht have aged terribly?
KOTOR
Probably my very first star wars game AND the first game that I've played with the plot twist. This game was really great back in the days. However, playing it through again on steam made me realize how flawed the game was. The inventory and skill UI was terrible (Why do I need one screen to view stats and another to level up?), The combat was stilted and the graphics look just ugly. However, I will acknowledge this game laying foundation for all of the Bioware games that I've enjoyed (Everything except ME:A)
Star Fox 64
Before you get your keyboard pitchforks to kill me with words, here me out; This game was fun. It was great blasting enemy ships through lylat system. But the game looks terrible today. So you're telling me it was possible to animated Star Fox team running in the hallway, but once they were on the ship their heads were the only thing they can animate? Also, I didn't like any of the team members. Falco is kind of a dick, Slippy always gets into trouble, Peppy is just there, and Kat provides the "only girl in the group" characteristics.
Kingdom Hearts (Original PS2)
Okay, it was fun to visit all the Disney worlds from the movies I've watched as a kid. But let's face it; Sora's kind of an annoying protagonist. Aside from annoying protagonist, this game is filled with atrocious difficulty spike, time-consuming and inverted control gummy ship sections (even with the warp ability there were still some sections you are forced to pilot), FF cameos just to please the fans, locked camera angle, and sora's slow swing speed (got me killed so many times)
Oblivion
If we are talking purely about story and quests, then I'd say I enjoyed Oblivion more than Skyrim. The dark brotherhood and the thieves' guild quests were more memorable (killing people in a locked house and stealing elder scrolls ftw), impressive oblivion realm, and great villains. However, was this game really that great? Let's take a look. We start off with crappy character creation (bold attempt, I must say), then you are greeted with a creepy conversation, repetitive dungeons (cave, ruins, or oblivion realm), risk of raising your character wrong, and a already-unlocked fast travel locations that defeats the purpose of having the open world in the first place.
