I played a lot of shit games back in the day (roborumble, dominion: storm over gift 3) but some of them were absolutely classics (total annihilation, starcraft broodwar, c&c tiberian sun, homeworld)

there were good games and bad games back then too, but you may have been "blinded by nostalgia" with some of the bad ones of the era.

My friend says this and it's an annoying mentality. Not every old game you used to enjoy needs to be a classic (aka timeless). Nor does that make it a bad game.

>>729348305
Brutal Legend was great when I was in middle school but now I realize that the gameplay is dogshit. Everything else is still cool.

what's her name, /v/? super metroid for me. while i think it has been dethroned by the hollow knight duology as peak mv, it's still prolly like the third best one. so many indies fail to be as tightly designed and fun as this game or any of its top tier romhacks. it's a strong foundation.

It's not really a bad game, I like the visual design alot... but it is way too easy and not really thrilling enough for me to 100% it as an adult

I just 100% the third one. it was really bad. I'm not sure why I forced myself to get through the whole game when almost half of it were mini games, most of them being shit at that. It made me mad that they veered so far from the simple formula of the first game

I don't think I've ever had this experience. There have been plenty of games that I was a lot less engaged with on a replay simply because I had gotten older and significantly better at video games, but I could always still see why kid me liked them so much.

I've never really had this problem, the bad games I played as a kid were cheap licensed trash where their low quality is going to be self evident coming back to them. if I remember a game fondly it's usually going to have enough going for it to at least be charming if not necessarily the best technical game.

I will list some boomer kino I’ve played in the past few months in an attempt to avoid doomscrolling with an equally wasteful but less artistically meaningless past time.

>sands of time
simple but great fun. Very “mummy 1999” vibe. Final boss is terrible but it didn’t rob the overall quality.

>Bioshock 1
similarly shit final boss but this one did take away from the quality. The whole last level is terrible. That said the highs are super high, impeccable vibes througtout, everything up to killing Ryan is 10/10.

>HL1
Fun but I feel it overstays its welcome. Xen is generally weak. Great weapon and enemy variety. Bad final boss

>HL2
Source 2 games have the comfiest ambience on the block. Too short instead of too long, not enough weapon variety but each level is a fucking game dev masterclass. Bridge was my favorite. No final boss which I guess is an improvement

>DeS
It’s got severe issues but it does so much right I don’t think I care. There’s so much intention to the enemy and boss placement in conjunction with the zones they occupy. The bosses feel like the culmination of your struggles in the level instead of just some unrelated guy you find afterwards. Great final boss, breaking the cycle.

>AC Silent Line
Currently filtering me hard. Tips?

Discuss any of the above or recommend me more boomer kino. I’ve been eyeing thief

I used to play a ton of games that, in retrospect, were trash.

Custom robo is cool, but I liked it for the edgy anime plot, but the fights could all be cheesed even with legal parts

Every anime fighter is bad and a spamfest.

I played every platformer slop you could think of in the 90’s. Glover, Gex, Chameleon Twist. Mystical Ninja gets a pass because it’s genuinely charming and has a great soundtrack.

Harvest Moon Mineral Town and all derivatives are objectively worse than anything out now.

Most movie games, like the X-men games, matrix, chronicles of riddick, and Star Wars games, are slop central. Only
About 30% of starwars games are good.

I could go on, but when you’re a kid you’ll play anything? And before information was crazy available and games were accessible on all platforms you kinda just got into what you were exposed to or could rent from blockbuster
