Can we get a thread of games that aged well
>>330889269
first you gonna have to clarify if you only mean visually, gameplay-wise, or as in a whole package?
Also how do you want to base the opinions on the idea of how well they fit to modern "standards", no matter how shit they might be?
Anyway, DOOM's still great fun and IMO nice to also look at after all these years.

Me: Recommend a game that has aged well
Some Faggot:OMG, Too many variables; What could he mean?
Doom has aged shit gameplay wise and the only way to play it today is with mouse look

How old does a game need to be to get considered as "aged"?
Would Titan Quest count, for instance? It's only 10 years old. The gameplay was never exceptional to begin with, but the looks are still pretty good.
Unreal was great fun.

Are you that desperate for (You)s?

>OMG, Too many variables; What could he mean?
Yeah, because nowadays everyone's view on what that fucking sentence means seems to differ quite a bit. Some are pure graphix-fags who can't deal with visible pixels and couple-hundred polygon 3D models, while some simply can't get into anything that does not utilize Cowadooteh/Asscreed/etc control scheme. Because of this, I've seen SH games get tons of flak, for the controls alone.
>Doom has aged shit gameplay wise and the only way to play it today is with mouse look
Wrong, you underaged newfag.
The mouse-look was already there in 1993, and if you NEED to use Y-axis aiming, you really are the prime example of HALO generation.

As opposed to what, Looking dead ahead at all times, Turning with a keyboard is fucking archaic, Who wants tank controls in an FPS where you play as a man?

>As opposed to what, Looking dead ahead at all times,
Yes. Because, you know, it works, and the game was designed like that.
>Turning with a keyboard is fucking archaic,
I still play with KB-only, but you DO know that mouse-turning's been a thing since Wolfenstein 3D, 1992 ?
>Who wants tank controls in an FPS where you play as a man?
because niggas can't into strafing using ALT. Top, fucking, kek!
seriously son, lrn2/keybinds.

Game genres get improvements and are made better for it
>That's fucking gay the old ways are the best
I bet you still play MUDs

>Game genres get improvements and are made better for it
Usually, but some changes are not for the better.
Also along the years, several sub-genres are created. Doom and a modern Cowadooteh pretty much have only one thing in common these days: you shoot baddies with guns. The tempo, design and focus of the whole design in general, are miles apart.
Just because some older games were limited by the tech or know-how at the time does not make them instantly inferior. The example of FO3/nv/4 kids bashing FO1 and 2 is a good example of a huge generation gap.

Games don't age.
Most games that age well were ones with great gameplay or okay gameplay with great plots/storylines. Anything that relied heavily on graphics to sell in the day generally did not age well (ie most FPS'). Also games that were totally surpassed by sequels are usually not worth returning to.
