So a few days ago, while talking to my friends, the conversation went to "what do you think is the best game ever?". They went back and forth for a bit before turning to me upon which I responded "Syphon Filter". Being that I never shut up about Syphon Filter, especially when this type of conversation pops up, they called me out on my claim. After throwing various insults at me all pretty much stating that it's nothing but nostalgia, they told me to play them again to see if I was still singing the same tune. So I did, I played them again, and I loved every second of it. However I will give them one thing, they're a hell of a lot easier than I remember. Maybe it's because I remember where most of everything is, but I remember these games being a pain in the ass, especially 2.
So, have you every replayed a game that you remember being difficult as hell, and find that it's much easier than you remember?
EDIT: I'd like to add Half-Life 1 to this list. Granted I never finished it when I was a kid, but at least I made it to Xen, I just couldn't beat the Nihilanth (I got my brother to do it for me). Now I can't even get passed Surface Tension.
Alternatively:
I recently dusted off my SEGA Genesis, and began to play my old favorites like Sonic and Streets of Rage. While going through my collection I stumbled upon my Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers game. So I dusted it off and started it up. I then proceeded to get my ass handed to me. I remember this game being absolute ***** mode when I was a kid, now I can't touch it. I can hardly get passed Minotaur.
So, have you ever replayed a game that you remember being ridiculously easy, and find that you can hardly get passed stage 1? (or is just a lot harder than you remember?)
Man I use to play Syphon Filter 2 all the time. That mission where you have to go through these road tunnels that had tanks and stuff in them and then you had to cross a bridge in a certain amount of time without being seen. Oh and the lass boss fucking sucked if you didn't know what to do. Good times, I wanna play it again
Unfortunately I don't. I'd borrowed it from my cousin a good while back, and just recently returned it over Thanksgiving. If I find it cheap somewhere I'll definitely pick it up, I feel like playing it again now.
Good to know I inspired some more love for the game in you. Certainly among the best. Feel the nostalgia just flowing through you when you see the title screen.
A few years back I dug out my nes and plugged it in for nostalgia purposes. I found a cart for Goonies 2 which, imho, is a really entertaining game on many levels. Anyway I remember this game being pretty hard but I managed to beat it in a few hours this time.
Yeah it did. When I first played it, I couldn't figure out what to do with that at all. I didn't figure it out until I was dicking around with the UAS-12 and accidentally hit him into the blades. I felt so stupid. Same thing with Anton Girdeux in the first one. "Full, impenetrable body armor, and a flamethrower!? How the hell am I supposed to beat that!?" I didn't figure it out until I was spray-n-praying with the M-16 and hit his backpack. At first it scared the shit out of me because I though I'd run out of time and the bomb had gone off. Then it hit me "Oh... right... backpack full of gas... DURRRR".
