Games you loved then, but dislike now.

[Woe Is You]

Used to love Diablo 1, just can't go back to the old crappy controls anymore. Don't mind old graphics, only old interfaces.

Wait, what? What's so crappy about it? The first 2 Diablos are basically the same game...unless you mean that Diablo 2 also has crappy controls, which I wholeheartedly disagree with.

As for my games...well, I used to love the crap out of Super Mario World and DKC 1-3, but now I just can't play them because I still remember just about every nook and cranny in those games. Don't dislike them, but I just wish I'd forget about them.

earthworm jim. I was mental for his games, his tv show, and the the action figures back in the day, but looking back, it's "meh" at best. and for the record, megaman was the shit, til capcom took the piss, and released battle network.
Still, I think it's unfair to judge the entirety all SNES and NES games as bad, or a carpet statement that all the controls are broken. A great deal of of old games have awful controls, but there's a still a pile that, even today still hold up as fun and/or addicting. I still can't get enough pipedream, or dr mario. Hell, I just played through MC Kids two days ago, lol.

I'd have to say Army Men Air Attack, I remember picking it up as a kid for my PS1 and loving it. I found my PS1 and all my old games and the only games I had for it that I would still consider even playable are FF8 and Legend of Dragoon.

I remember Legend of Dragoon. Game had like freaking 5-6 discs and random battles when not walking in a safe zone. Me and my cousins used to all play the game, one of us would walk and we all reserved a character to fight as during battles.

To blanket all of the super nintendo games or the like as bad is a bit childish. I believe this is what ZettaSan was trying to comment on. Though he did a poor job of it.

As for me, most rpgs are a bit boring. don't go in for the grindfest anymore. Mario RPG being one of the few examples of still being playable for hours on end. Kirby and Megaman X are favorites of mine. still fun for a jaunt down memory lane and don't take more than an hour or two to complete.

and who liked playing resident evil games in the first place? personally I couldn't stop laughing at the horrible voice acting and embarrassing writing long enough to actually play the game. I did watch a friend play through, and we were both quite bored with it. Resident Evil 4 was alright I suppose, but quicktime button mashing is a horrible construct and should be done away with for the sake of humanity and my sanity.

GTAIV

the incentives during online games are so poorly designed that the game modes are practically useless since most people have no clue what they are doing. this definitely put a damper on the replayability factor.

I;m gonna say age of empires, when I first played that games it was the sweetest think ever, but then i found blizzard, and now going back its not the same

Wow, I just got a huge nostalgic feeling. I loved the second game and then Age of Mythology after that. But yes, there are definitely better alternatives nowadays.

On the positive side, Mario 64 is a game that has definitely aged well. I never owned an N64, so I found an emulator and played through the whole game... and I had fun doing it! I think it thrives because of its simplicity.

Star wars: Starfighter, and Medal of Honour: line. Enjoyed both immensely on first play through, but they aged badly.

I'd have to say Civilisation 2. I downloaded it recently and found it wasn't nearly as enjoyable as I remembered, especially compared to more recent games.

Civ3 for me, the graphics alone made it hard to tell what was going on.
