I've been jonesing to play Inquisition a lot lately, haha. Outside of some open-world areas that are super gigantic with little of interest there (that desert area might be the only place you actually use mounts in), I have pretty fond memories. I can't stop thinking about how lame the graphics looked on PS3, though, which is where I first played it. One hairstyle looked like melted crayon, haha.

Nothing, but I hate the N64 camera and hope we will get the remakes of MM and OoT on the switch

Yeah.... if you do focus on the main stuff. Exploration is so bad.... it's just big

Most N64 and 3D PS1 games tbh. That era as a whole hasn't aged that well, with some exceptions.

The Gen 1 Pokmon games. Theyre basically held together with twine and chewing gum, which is perfect for folks exploiting the heck outta them to do some awesome stuff like the video below.

IIRC, there's a glitch item that literally executes code.

ditto the original Final Fantasy
of course the remakes go in the exact opposite direction and make the game hilariously easy...

OoT absolutely didn't age well. Empty overworld, weird chase section, multiple really bad dungeons like the weird square one under the well, poorly colored dungeons that lead to directional loss, basically 2 cutscenes that make up the entire story, bad frame rate (the 3DS remake solves a few of these issues but is too faithful to be considered good)

Every other LoZs that came after it just improved on it

Assassins creed 1

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/4/7/AAFeIUAAD4vf.jpg

it was just such a new and smooth and beautiful game when it came out in the early days of the 360 and ps4. Then everybody realized how formulaic and repetitive it was, and then assassins creed 2 literally redid the entire game but better

I think Goldeneye will be fine with updated controls honestly. I guess we'll see with the upcoming Xbox and Switch versions.

When it comes to 9/10 and higher those games have overall aged pretty well I think. A shitload of 8/10 games haven't though. Can't handle Syphon Filter anymore.

Actually looking it up Medal of Honour has 92 on Metacritic. I never see anyone talk about that game now and I played it back in the day lol

I have fond memories of it as well. But I also recall feeling burnt out due to my own actions. My gaming habits compelled me to do my best to do everything there was to do in a given map before moving on to another area. Wasn't until I couldn't kill the dragon in the first level that I finally moved on with the story to get a few more levels under my belt.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.

They're likely not coming to the Switch at this point.. We have a higher chance of getting WW and/or TP HD Wii u ports first and only instead.

lmao holy crap it's weird to see AC1 actually got good reviews... it definitely aged like shit. Outside of its open world (which didn't even have anything to do other than the flag collecting) it was definitely repetitive and boring as fuck.

Just get a 3DS and play them on that instead. Problem solved.

Assassins creed 1 was why I bought a 360. Id never seen anything so fluid in video games. The parkour and the killing were all so smooth.

and then after like 15 hours we all collectively realized.. oh like thats all it is though

Personally, Super Mario 64. It was a proof of concept that 3D platforming was possible but it wasn't a spectacular masterpiece. Crash, Spyro, Rachet and Clank and Banjo Kazooie all better contemporaries.
