phantasy star 2

while i find its succinct storytelling genius, the game itself is a pure, merciless, unadultered grind and it's pretty much impossible to recommend it to anyone nowadays

which is a pity, because its message is still relevant

and the way phantasy star 4 (which actually aged fairly well) subtly references it is absolutely brilliant

master of magic (1994) is literally as resolution upgrade from being a relevant modern 4x game. it doesn't even need, like, a UI overhaul or anything.

I was actually gonna post this but felt like I haven't played it enough to say because I haven't :(

684: Goldeneye.

oh no I totally forgot to mention ACTRAISER 2 yesterday as a good game that aged well like a fine wine.

The original Phantasy Star and its sequel have some (read: a lot of) terrible design decisions, typical of early RPGs. I love 'em both to death, though.

2 and 3 too. I have no idea what the hell was going on when i played them.

Super Mario 64 is my favorite game of all time, but I don't think it aged too well. It's graphics are blurry, even compared to N64 standards, and the controls are a tad sluggish. But I still think it's a great game.

683: Chrono Trigger, Thracia 776, and Ogre Battle 64(from what I've played, not done with this one yet)

684: Gaiden, for sure. I love it but when I recommend it- if I do at all- it's always with a warning.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. Its plot is one of the best throughout and praise The Lord for its remake that made it more enjoyable/bearable to actually play, but its still one of 2 KH games that I'd never touch again

Probably the Gen 2 games for Pokemon, to be honest. While I don't think its aged well with today, the music is still one of the best from the series, imho.

I agree with you and it's kind of weird considering how little I agree with cropped porn.

i tried to think of one yesterday but couldn't. some were already said that i agree with (most notably chrono trigger). rpgs like fire emblem and pokemon don't really count imo because the formula is almost exactly the same game-to-game.

i could say mgs, but that's probably due to bias alone. i love that game.

anyway, for today's question, i gotta say the legend of dragoon and kh 1. i love both games, the legend of dragoon being one of my all-time favorite games, but its story is so poorly paced and some of its characters are really bad. i think the battle system is still fun as fuck, but i know that people today simply couldn't play through the thing.

kh 1 has a terrible, terrible camera. even worse than the original mgs3 camera. it's so bad. has the potential to ruin the whole experience.

I don't think games age, but rather, we age and start criticizing games that were bad to begin with. I enjoyed Final Fantasy III (DS), but only for it's graphics, music, and story - the gameplay is just a huge grind-fest time-killer.

Personally I'd play the original games over the remakes. Specially if the battery wasn't such an issue.

was gonna say FE4 but I don't even like it that much. I appreciate it, but I can't say I love it or anything...

uhhhh maybe Golden Sun?

The original Legend of Zelda

Oh shit I somehow completely missed that first part of the question lmao, I don't particularly care for Zelda 1

Actual answer is Mega Man 1, which I actually like more than 2

I can't think of any games that Aged Badly And I Like Them (maybe Myth I?), but my closest answer would be any single-digit Final Fantasy. Good games, once! Couldn't think of playing them now!
