Games That Haven't Aged Well

[SlmShady200]

So earlier I was playing Rainbow Six Vegas and it got me thinking about this. Obviously, as time passes on, technology is going develop, graphics are going to look better, and developers become more seasoned. Some of my favorite games now just come out to be so pale in comparison even though they were the shit back in the day.

Now, of course, don't get it twisted, just because a game has dated graphics doesn't mean it hasn't aged well. I'm specifically talking about AI, game play, etc. For example, Goldeneye is almost 17 years old and it is hands down the greatest FPS of all time. GTA: Vice City is still one of my favorite GTA's if not my favorite. I could keep going on. Graphics shouldn't mean shit to real gamers. I digress.

Examples of games that haven't aged well for me is the original F.E.A.R, Assassin's Creed 1, and most recently and disappointing for me, Spider-man: The movie (2002). All these generally well-received games, to myself included just can't help but feel dull when you come back to it years later after many improvements have been made in their respective genres even as desperate as I was to be blinded by my nostalgia.

Anyone else have this moment of disappointment? If so, list.

I'd go as far as saying that the older GTA games haven't aged well gameplay wise, but they are still very fun.

A game that comes to mind is Borderlands from 2009, that game aged fast and hard, especially after the second game came out.

Yeah, I'd definitely agree on the first Borderlands. BL2 excelled past it's predecessor in so many ways, I kind of forget the original exists sometimes lol.

It's a real shame! I feel like a lot of the humor and characters/bosses hold up a lot better in the first game.

It'd be cool if they brought the original game in to the new engine and redid stuff a little. I could see a massive Borderlands collection happening on the new consoles eventually.

Yes, especially since the presequel ain't coming to PS4 and the One, it'd be the perfect opportunity for a collection.

The first Borderlands. Dead Island (although, to be fair, it was pretty bad from the start).

The mods were the only reason I beat that shit.

I think games that have remakes don't age well. Like GTA 5. People don't get tired.

GTA5 is being remade because Sony and Microsoft don't want to say "Well, this game is popular, so now you can play it on our new consoles with amazing last-gen technology!" pretty much

Almost any game made by LJN.
