I find it very hard to go back to old 3D games now because they just look so shit, but isometric games still look good today and it's easier to get into them imo, Baldur's Gate is a good example of this

Medievil and Ape Escape on Playstation. Fun concepts, with good music, but the graphics are just fucking horrendously head-ache inducing to the point of rendering the game unplayable.

For some reason I'd love to meet the guys from M&M 6's default party IRL.

There was a lot of HoMM3 sprites in that game.

>>322925124
Something doesn't become bad just because the next best thing comes around.
If a game looks like shit now then it looked like shit back then too.
The only exceptions to this is playing games how they weren't supposed to be played, like retro games on an HD tv.
>>322925124
Honestly, most last gen games.
PS 2 and 1 era now have their retro charm.

On the other hand I welcome the chance for a Might and Magic thread.

Storywise it takes place at the same time as HoMM3, or atleast somewhat near.

Why does everyone consider MM6 to be better?
I found 7 to be better in almost every way.
I don't mind poor graphics. The thing that keeps me away from older games are the mechanics. A lot of older games require too much work for simple task or it's setup in a unintuitive way.
>>322933445
One more.
This pretty much, Graphics have not aged well
>>322929949
it's weird because i did full replays of the first 2 a couple months ago, and i still absolutely love how it looks. the battle animations, sprites and areas are just so appealing and well done. i can't even stomach DD
>>322933976
well meme'd
>>322925124
Any game with chinese cartoonish style. I simply can't make myself play one of those.

no game is unplayable simply because of aged graphics
if you refuse to play a game because it looks dated, you should grab a rope and hang yourself. i mean this with the utmost contempt and animosity possible. i genuinely believe you people are a cancer on this earth and should be eradicated. i would 100% support a genocide of entire ethnicities, just on the offchance that some of you underage graphicsfags will get tossed in the incinerators.

I can't stand playing old first person tile based dungeon crawlers.
Their primitive graphics and lack of animation makes it impossible to navigate properly. When every single screen looks the same it becomes really easy to lose track of where you are, even with a map.
Grimrock is fine since it has enough graphical fidelity to not make every wall look the same, and you move smoothly between tiles.
>>322929394
I really want to know who they are.
Maybe /vr/ can find out like they did with one of the actresses from the Resident Evil opening.
>>322927826
I CAN HEAR IT

>>322936453
>Their primitive graphics and lack of animation makes it impossible to navigate properly. When every single screen looks the same it becomes really easy to lose track of where you are, even with a map.
That's the point. It wasn't intended, but then it was
Not actually joking about this one. Fallout 3 was already hideous back when it released in 2008. Fallout 4 may not look like much or play very well, but it's still such a huge improvement over Fo3, it has made me seriously dislike even the idea of going back to Fo3. Never, ever touching this again.
>>322936814
I'm sure back in 1980 when you only had one game to play this was a grand adventure, but it's not fun anymore today.
>>322937481
>playing on a toaster
>>322937481
going back and playing any bethesda game vanilla is jarring. Not the awful textures. Its just so obviously small most of the time.
>>322937527
Nah, back in the days RPG's were dedicated gamer's genre.
Dedicated as in total fucking absolute nerd, not /v/irgin who sits in front of PC and sometimes plays for an hour because he feels that he has wasted his life.
>>322937782
Small like your penis?
I would rather play the originals, RSE get honorable mentions for looking like chinese knockoffs
>>322925124
There's something about those doughy, early pre-rendered/photo composite faces that's just so... unappealing. It reminds me of shitty videos made in Poser 5.
>>322928663 and >>322928790
are goofy, but they at least look somewhat cohesive from a graphics point of view.
>>322938064
yeah, but cleverly masked so women don't realize it until they mistakenly think they want to fuck me again.
The exact same.
>>322937847
Nah, these games were clearly trying to be more complex than a computer at the time could handle, as evident by automapping that was implemented as soon as it was feasible.
>>322937782
I know the feeling. Suddenly every single feature just clashes, and the game leaves you wondering how you ever thought it was good, or interesting, or even just fun. With Skyrim, it happened basically mid-game as I was crafting a daedric set and wondering at how completely anticlimatic and mundane the whole grind up to it had been. All of the game's charm instantly gone and replaced by jank everywhere some ~30 hours in.
>>322938543
Automapping was first implemented in 1986 or 1987, many games didn't endorsed it though(especially if they were going for the "hardcore" crowd which was much more common back then).
>>322931887
i got pretty far in arena a couple years ago it wasn't unplayable
rather just play daggerfall though
>>322938830
Or because of technical reasons.
There's a reason why you don't see a revival of early dungeon crawlers like you do with other dead genres, nobody wants to play them anymore.
>>322938697
On my second playthru of Skyrim I got this point like 5 hours in. When running from whiterun to the northern town. I remember on the first run it being adventurous and fun. On my second run it felt like running to the end of the block. I think I did it in 2 minutes.
I even went around the mountains so I would miss some scripted troll or dragon fight. Missing a single fight, but going around fucking mountains was still a 2 minute trip.
>>322939264
Also, there's nothing hardcore about these games. They're actually incredibly simple, even compared to mainstream RPGs of today like Skyrim. The only reason they appear hardcore is because of the graphics and obtuse interface.
>>322936814

>>322929005
You implied it fuccboi
>>322939264
>Or because of technical reasons.
Nope.
Wizardry for instance didn't had automapping until some re-releases of first few games after 7 was out.
>There's a reason why you don't see a revival of early dungeon crawlers like you do with other dead genres, nobody wants to play them anymore.
It's mostly caused by the fact that the last few attempts to do it properly were either under-budgeted, left alone after release or simply copies of old games.
Japanese copy Wizardry, particularly 5 to no end.
Wizardry 8 didn't had its issues adressed in patches because developer went down after releasing it. Some of them were later foxed by the community. Still a game that perfected the formula never saw follow-up because both dev studio and publisher were on the verge of bankruptcy when it was released and even if it wasn't fucked-up in places, it was likely that they wouldn't make-up in sales for the previous debts.
Wizards&Warriors was a product of one man trying to develop a game in a world where 30-man teams became a reality(and way before middleware became so common and well documented). On top of it it wasn't really scaled to the size of the "dev team" so bugs, bugs, bugs bugs, bugs everywhere.
Might and Magic 10 was very, VERY underbudgeted
Grimmrock and other similar games released recently(mostly copies, sometimes with some gimmicks) take what Dungeon Master left, make interface from the scratch and call it a day.
>>322940041
Yes it is. and it also attempts to be a revival of early dungeon crawlers.

>>322925124
Anything before the PS2 basically. I mean wtf is this shit.
>>322940783
Those games all came much later. Wizardry 8 doesn't even have tile movement. I'm talking about the very first games. Wizardry 5. while still pretty old, came out nearly a decade after the original and is already a giant improvement.
>>322940892
It's an evolution of the genre, and none of the things I said about early RPGs apply to it.
>>322941734
battles were fine, and I was fine with 8, by 2003 though when I played it though 7 was extremeley outdated when I compared to other games I grew up on
The original Zelda.
I absolutely can't fucking stand it. I remember my dad and grandpa going apeshit together when I used an action replay to unlock it in Animal Crossing years and years ago, both of them having nostalgia bombs about how they used to call each other and talk about where they found hidden secrets or what doors not to break down, etc etc (my stepdad is a huge asshole, but surprisingly enough was a gigantic D&D geek in college). I just can't be arsed to play it. I couldn't stomach it until a few years ago when I downloaded the Japan-only English translation of the SNES remake and there was more color besides shit brown and puke green on the screen.
Ironically I have nothing but absolute love and admiration for Zelda II, go figure. Can't explain it, chief.
>>322943254
Zelda was special when it came out. Most people hadn't played such an adventure game back then. Also, you were supposed to have the game manual and map to complement the game. Without those, the game makes little sense.
>>322943807
Oh I completely understand. My grandpa and I used to play the original Metroid together and draw maps on graph paper. There's just something about the original Zelda that pushes the bile to the back of my throat. Can't explain it.
>>322943254
>>322944086
>Playing video games with granpa and dad
What the fuck?
>>322944268
I have young grandparents. I'm about 24 now and my grandparents are only now in their early 70's.
You'd be surprised. When my grandpa was cleaning out his closets a few years ago, he gave me the very first ever editions of the D&D books in almost perfect condition, plus one of the original board sets where your pieces were just little folded pieces of paper. My grandpa is a big numbers guy, so DM'ing for my dad was a lot of fun for him back when my dad was really into it.
>>322925124
I really don't understand how dated graphics can prevent somebody from playing a good game. Do you get seizures or something?
>>322935909
Not him, but I'm not sure how low resolution textures and low poly models would cause that. Turn the lights on in your room? Sit a foot further away from your monitor?
>>322945092
