Based for sticking with it. Sometimes the jank is part of the charm, like revisiting an old friend who never quite got their life together but you still love them.

Vice City
San Andreas
Red Dead Redemption

Contra Force
It was so jank, the "operative" system constantly pausing the action, constant framedrops, retarded Gradius-style weapon system, graphical glitches
But it was fun as hell playing with my brother :D

are all fucking amazing

This is a lot of old flash games for me. I remember them fondly but a lot of them could barely be considered games compared to even the worst AAA sloppa.

The writing is still good, but all you do is engage in simulated conversations. There is no complex, demanding interaction to hold your attention. I can't help but feel that I am wasting my time because why wouldn't I just talk to people irl instead?

I played FO3 on release, thought it was shit, skipped NV because of this, played NV a decade later and loved it

>>716282490
Last time you played them to completion? And don't lie anon your grandparents are watching from heaven.

I was replaying witcher 1-2-3 and I realized how much I don't like witcher 3, the open world is damn near an excuse to have to walk 15 minutes per step of quests, so many quests are just bread crumb trails with a fight at the end.

*sigh*

For me it's AoE2 and San Andreas.

>>716285897
It's still great.

I tried playing Tom and Jerry War of the Whiskers recently, and only then did I realize that the fighters get a lot of i-frames after being hit. Talk about a way to kill your game, no wonder people don't meme about it like Shrek Superslam.

>>716279867 (OP)
Skill issue. All my favorites still hold up.

This game makes me feel like I'm actually an AI in a matrix designed to solve equations for a universal constructor.

>>716279867 (OP)
I recently tried replaying the old Digimon World games and fucking hell they're obtuse shit. Digimon World 2 is a nightmareishly slow grind and Digimon World is jank as hell while not explaining anything, a guide is mandatory.

I don't know what I ever saw in these as a kid. Digimon World 2 gets semi tolerable on an emulator to speed past how slow everything is at least, but there's still so much wrong with it.

Are you telling me there is a Tom and Jerry's clone of smb?

>>716279867 (OP)
I never done this but I did realize that some of these games weren't nearly as good as I remember them being.

Pokemon Red/Blue were carried hard by the anime and having friends that played pokemon

>>716279867 (OP)
>replay childhood game
it's still badass and fun

>>716279867 (OP)
Only experienced that with this. Every other game from my childhood that I've revisited still rocks.

>>716279867 (OP) replaying this rn, still fucking GOATed

>>716279867 (OP)
Only happened to me with Elder Scrolls games.

Is the Sims 1 shit now?

Never in my life did I think this game was made by the Total War devs, surprised the hell out of me when i got older. Very jank and the story is weird, but being able to chain behead groups is still fun as hell, and the explosive crossbow machinegun is still one of the best stationary weapons I've used. I wonder if they ever planned versions of total warrior.

>>716279867 (OP)
I feel like this over Gran Turismo 3 and 4. For some reason I still love and enjoy GT2 though.

tried pokemon on emulator and it was like pulling teeth. easily spent 200+ hours on it as a kid.

dropped HL2 at episodes. That game was carried HARD by physics gimmick and graphics. I wouldnt say its shit, just not as good as I remembered it. I now understand why zoomers dont like it

Used to regularly replay pic, but I stopped doing that because I was starting to realize that it's actually kinda shit.

>>716303925
They made a spiritual successor, it was just called vikings something something. Look it up

>replay game that frustrated me when i was younger
>i get it now and its actually good

>>716284595
NTA but I played RDR(1) for the first time recently for the PC release and it's great.
Vice City and San Andreas I replayed the most recently ten years ago, along with III. I remember preferring III in the end, but I wouldn't describe VC or SA as shit by any means.

>>716279867 (OP)
I replayed games I liked as a kid and realized I had good taste as a kid

>>716304630
>why zoomers don't like it
this is not really true, normalfags that happen to be zoomers don't like half life 2 because they're playing NBA 2k instead but any zoom I know who has a PC has played HL2, TF2, L4D 1&2 and GMOD a lot.

Eternal darkness

>>716285897
Its still 10/10 as long as you play anything other than the wailing death. I've been on a nwn module binge this year.
>>716304630
I replayed hl2 recently and still enjoyed it the whole way through, episode 1 is worse than I remembered though, wayyyy too much standing around listening to alyx talk and the 'horror" section in the tunnels was way more limp than when I was 13.

>>716279867 (OP)
I recognized they were shit when I was a kid

>>716305645
I see plenty of zoomers here hating on hl2

>>716279867 (OP)
FF8

>>716306373
>extrapolating the opinions of retards who got banned from sharty to zoomers at large
cmon anon

>>716306403
Ff8 is good go fuck your self

Felt faster as a kid. Emulated it and it slow and clunky. Never played the 4th game but it looks even slower and clunkier.

>>716306403
>play FF8 as an adult
>spam limit breaks, never use magic or GFs
>game is actually more fun this way

Still fun as fuck compared to every other new fighting game. Fighting games don't need to be "balanced" because they can never be balanced. They just need to be embraced for what they are at their point in history, though new games get rid of all the fun with shit mechanics.
