Draco Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Much as I love melee I don't think it's aged very well compared to smash 4 or probably brawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Ogre Battle 64 which remains my favorite game of all time. This is jostling with Age of Empires 2 at the top of my list for aging well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Pretty much all Nintendo games from the SNES onward. I use my Wii U as an "aged really well" machine for all the classics I missed. If you gave more specific criteria I could probably narrow it down. I thought we had to justify our opinions on the video games with objective facts?

Whoa awesome you like OB64 as well ^^ Age of Empires 2 is pretty grand too yeah. I still remember playing the Star Wars spinoff version of it, Galactic Battlegrounds I believe it was called.

Carmine Sword Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Final Fantasy VI, although I'll admit there may be a bit of favorite game bias in that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I like my well-aged games to be simple. So thus, solitare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmine Sword Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Oh, if we're allowed to pick card games, than I'll say Cribbage since it is the objectively best card game after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Solitare comes default on Windows. Hence why I included it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euklyd Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Much as I love melee I don't think it's aged very well compared to smash 4 or probably brawl.I think it's probably aged better than Brawl, and Smash 4 hasn't aged at all. imo SSB4 is basically Brawl but better; if I want to play a Brawl-like game I'd just play Smash 4. otoh, neither of them scratches the same itch as Melee does. The competitive community seems to agree with me, since Melee tournaments are rather larger than SSB4 tournaments (for the record, I only enter SSB4 myself).

Parrhesia Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I had no idea of this rule? You see, Zera has staked his internet reputation on this forum, exalted www.serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showforum=23, as an excessively pedantic man with an inflated opinion of his relevance, insisting in his topic - named 'Kirby: Planet Robobot Discussion' at time of writing - that anyone who holds any form of dissenting opinion (one will note; 'opinion') needs to back it up with some form of objective fact. When noted Good Forum User necktie tested this with science, Zera responded by ignoring him. So it was, if not wholly unexpected, certainly hypocritical for him to waltz into this, the QOTD Thread on high-quality troll-free board FFTF, and state his own opinion with none of his beloved 'objective facts'. As a result, I pointed that he had violated his perverse and frankly disgusting rules. Hopefully, the scorn and scrutiny has taken its toll on Zera to the extent where a cheap shot such as this resonates, almost some sort of 'straw breaking the camel's back' approach. I don't think this is that likely, however, given Zera's previous responses to attitudes that in any way clash with his own. So it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 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. QUESTION SIX HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOUR: Tell us of a game you like, but which really has not aged well at all. paired questions are the best because i chug one out on a late morning and then the next day, an early morning, i just do the partner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) 683: Donkey Kong Country 2. The pre-rendered 3D graphics look great, the soundtrack is fantastic and unlike many games of today, it's something that you can pick up and play in less than 5 minutes (which can be said of many older games but I have to point this out because most games of today are plagued with 15-30 minutes of boring nonsense to go through). The only thing that may have not aged well is perhaps the difficulty, gamers starting around the Wii/X360/PS3 generation may have a difficult time with the game. 684: Fire Emblem Gaiden. I like the game but it's not something you can recommend to people and expect them to actually finish. In terms of graphical quality it is better than FE1 but it's still a slow NES game and the EXP gain is just plain slow. At least it's the best game when it comes to early promotion.

Jedi Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Sonic Adventure 1, while I adore most of its concepts and stages, hasn't aged all that gracefully, compared to its sequel especially in most aspects. Although it still has my favorite OST in the franchise arguably. Edited March 8, 2016 by Jedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balcerzak Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Quest for Glory 2. The fact that it was never officially updated to move to the point and click adventure from text parser was quite the shame, but I have to admit the fan remake did quite a good job with it, so perhaps it doesn't deserve to be on the list.

Lance Masayoshi Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 i want to say sonic adventure because I hear people say it aged really bad, but I don't even think it was good to begin with I don't really like talking about a game's "aging" because a lot of the time it doesn't really make much sense so i'll just go with that anyway because i can't fucking think of a good answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
