FoolFantastic 09/12/23 10:13:22 AM #10:	I don't think Mass Effect 1 aged poorly. The game was always like that. It was very much a game where you put up with the bad parts because the good parts were (and still are) that good.

FoolFantastic 09/12/23 10:31:08 AM #12:	I do think Gears of War 1 is a great answer. It very much felt boundary pushing at the time but the presentation is so emblematic of the mid-2000s that it feels like an artifact, and the cover-based shooting feels especially simplistic these days. I don't think any of the very recent examples work because the games they are imitating do not feel particularly old. Why bother with FFXVI or Starfield when Devil May Cry 3 and Kingdom Hearts 2 or Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas still exist and do the same general things better? I don't think the lack of innovation makes something feel old, just underwhelming. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ Top 250 songs: https://foolfantastic.com/3290-2/ <cite>FoolFantastic posted [p:976014959] in What's the...

HaRRicH 09/12/23 10:44:12 AM #14:	A guess for a game I haven't played: Assassin's Creed 2. Just seems like a lot of modern games have absorbed what the AC-series brings to the table, and I don't know what fans of AC2 when it came out would think upon replaying it now. My closest example I can think of: don't know that Bastion truly fits, but what once seems very specific and innovative with the narrator discussing your actions now feels much more common. I also had a hard time replaying it a year or two ago. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg <cite>HaRRicH posted [p:976015151] in What's the...

Why bother with FFXVI or Starfield when Devil May Cry 3 and Kingdom Hearts 2 or Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas still exist and do the same general things better? I don't think the lack of innovation makes something feel old, just underwhelming. I suggest you play Fallout 4 and then try to go back to 3 or NV. The formula might be the same, but there's no question that the feel of the game is vastly improved. More fluid engine, more immersive world, tweaks to the UI and battle mechanics where it counts, etc. Fallout 4 definitely does not feel dated compared to its predecessors. Starfield, once you get over the initial sci-fi hype, feels like a step back from that. There's a period where you think it's the next evolution, until you see past the new bits and the old remains exposed, and you realize that you're playing Fallout 3-3, except without a cohesive overworld. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. <cite>azuarc posted [p:976015152] in What's the...

Natalie 09/12/23 1:33:24 PM #21:	Maybe a weird answer, but I started The Stanley Parable recently and while it's not bad, I think there've been so many "ooh this isn't what it seems" and fourth-wall-breaking narrative games since that it feels a little rote. Enjoyable, but definitely of an era. Probably a lot of first-wave indie games would feel that way for their respective genres. <cite>Natalie posted [p:976018066] in What's the...
