X Men Legends. I do not know how I played that game for a whole weekend with only Hot Pocket and bathroom breaks.

Did it get a remake, or did they make a different game with vaguely similar characters and slap FF7 on it?

Not really a specific case of aging poorly, but it was a pretty big shock replaying Final Fantasy XII (PS2 version) on a high-def TV. I'd played a few pre-high def games on a high-def TV before, but this was the first time the jump really hit me; I'd always thought the game looked so crisp and detailed on my old big-screen CRT TV.

i can still replay ffvii, though the 7th heaven mod helps to improve the character models. and the ps4 version i believe let's you increase the speed of the game.

I find the GTA PS2 trilogy almost unplayable. I can sometimes get into San Andreas if I play it long enough, but 3 and VC aren't fun anymore.

As in Diablo 2? I dunno about that man, people still make mods for it, I mean gameplay wise it still holds to this day.

I agree tc, I remember goldeneye when it released and playing it now is just a ugh.

Im playing the very first splinter cell on PC and it holds up, but very hard compared to stealth games of today.

Im gonna say the original Pokmon didnt age well at all. Most of the NPC trainers have brain dead Pokmon and the move learnsets suck ass

Both Sonic Adventure games. At most only a third of either game is enjoyable and even that third is still a glitchy mess.

Spicy Take: The Chao Garden is extremely boring in retrospect.

being limited to left and right click for casting skills doesn't hold up at all. and the ass resolution. And most of the mods change the core gameplay significantly to modernize it in one way or another.

Which is why i'm happy to get the remaster, especially since it seems more like the broodwar remaster. Which is also hard to go back to after getting used to sc2 hotkeys.

I can understand that. I recently tried to play Vice City and... it was rough.

Nowadays, stealth games are more sandboxy, allowing you multiple ways to tackle an objective. I think in that regard, splinter cell has aged pretty poorly. But I think splinter cell holds up if you think of it more as a puzzle to challenge yourself with.

Atari sued the developers of that game when it was originally made so I don't think it aged at all really. It was just always astoundingly awful.

Secret of Mana.

It was my first RPG-ish game. I've played through it a few times since it came out, and it's been more frustrating each time.

Brave Fencer Musashi.
At the time, only Steamwood (twice!) was particularly janky and awkward. Several years later, the whole game is.
The terrible sequel has become much less so over the years, just by comparison.

anyone who says this genuinely needs to get good

Its like saying REmake aged poorly because it has tank controls

no it didnt. MGS1 and 2 are still fun to pick up today in their own way thats separate from the way everything after Subsistence plays

that's true I just suck at it

I tried that for the first time as it looked like an interesting concept, but it is unplayable nowadays.

Pretty much every 3D game before the PS3-era (which have remained tolerable to look at). 3D games look amazing for their time but usually always age like complete shit. I used to be terrified of the Silent Hill games but now they look like shit and it takes away the scare factor.

The early Assassins Creed games. The story and atmosphere were top-notch, but the counter-spam combat, slower climbing, and limited stealth moves that make it harder to sneak past guards hold them back.
