Goldeneye 007 - I actually played through this this year and enjoyed it but this gets brought up a lot as an example. Player Unknowns Battlegrounds (PUBG) - This won some game of the year awards, got a TGA nomination and months later its a joke.

Needless to say no longer the case! A bit softer on this one, could change later. --- I just decided to change this sig.

tazzyboyishere 05/19/24 5:29:53 PM #22:	This one seems difficult to assess from an "objective" lens so I'll just use my personal top 4 that come to mind. GoldenEye 007 Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee Armored Core Phantasy Star II Games I played later on in their lifespan and had a bad time most notably because they felt too old.

Metroid 1 is a game I hear get called from the stone age by Metroid fans all the time, and I can't think of another game quite like it where literally no one will tell you to play the original over its remake. Back in the FG topic I mentioned not wanting MK1 on the rushmore in spite of its absurd importance because the game itself has aged terribly. That thing is hard to go back to.
