Silent Hill
mario 64
Turok
every game that has the word "dark" in the title but not "soul" in the title
STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl
The atmosphere holds up but the gunplay is pretty boring to me now. And the RPG elements are paper thin.
any game not named overwatch

Darkstalkers (3) is still one of the best fighting games of all time
>>339357942
Mario 64
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon 2
>>339357998
This. I remember thinking it was so damn scary and deep when it came out, then replayed it a year ago and it just felt clunky and generally boring.
Sonic Adventure
>>339357942
Sorry OP. My favorite games from back in the day pretty much all hold up really well.
Drakengard
god the controls are shit
i poured hundreds of hours into that game in middle school
Rayman 2
>>339358424
Care to name some?
>>339357942

Empire total war
I still go back and play AOM and advance wars and love them
Bubsy. Like it wasn't the best game as a child, but fuck me i had low standards
Final Fantasy VII
GTA 3
Medal of honor rising sun
>>339358254
>And the RPG elements are paper thin.
That is because there are none. The game never even fucking pretended to be an RPG, that is literally a meme invented by idiots around here because calling something an "RPG" used to make people think it's somehow more profound.
Deus Ex
>>339358405
I love and hate Sonic Adventures 1 and 2 so much.
The first Tony Hawk. It was the shit when I first played it, but I went back and it was just shit.
2 holds up substantially better, and 4 is just as good as ever (never played 3). But 1 was garbage.
I just listen to the soundtrack when I'm feeling nostalgic for it now.
>>339357942
Donkey Kong 64. The last boss fight + the soundtrack were still awesome though
>>339358612
I will never understand why Deus Ex had such bad controls. That game needs a remaster so fucking badly. Ion Storm came out of Quake and Doom, some of the best FPS ever, to produce a game that feels like someone continually fucked their life up by making bad decisions.
Gex: Enter the Gecko
Seriously I remember loving this game what the fuck happened. I tried it recently on an emulator and I had absolutely 0 shitting idea what the shit is going on. It's not a case of 'the story is shallow' THERE DOESN'T EVEN SEEM TO BE A STORY
On the upside Crash 1 is still good, but I lost my progress after beating that series of sky bridge levels so now I have to restart. Maybe I will
I don't know.
FF4 still holds up.

10/10 BEST GAME EVER

People have branded it an FPSRPG since it came out, it's not just on here. But you have a point.

Deus ex:hr

Sometimes a game, or a thing, is more than the sum of it's parts.
>Total War series is a very bad RTS, with bad AI
>Also bad Grand Strategy elements
But the game series is fucking god tier.
Deus Ex is one of gaming's treasures, despite it being made of garbage parts.
America is a country founded on genocide and slavery, and now it's one of the best nations to live in, with one of the most transparent and least corrupt governments. (Compared to the rest of the world.) It has a population of fat dumbasses, but it still has a huge amount of the world's wealth.
Worth more than the sum of it's parts.
>>339357942
Sly Cooper
Warcraft series
Donkey Kong 64
It's absolutely atrocious. The fog is worse than Turok and that's with an expansion pack. Whatever charm Rare had put into other games is absent, it feels unfinished.

I loved it as a kid but it's way too fucking easy and repetetive for me now.
>>339357998
>>339358401
Fuck outta here
I replayed SH1 only recently and it was great. Story and plot is interesting even if the characters don't really hold up.
>>339360571
I loved the game but fuck those guys from Grove St trying to drag me down
>>339358230
I haven't played it but I've heard good things about darksiders 1.
Is it worth playing friends?
>>339361192
It borrows a bit from Zelda and God of War and it's pretty okay.
Not amazing, but okay.
If you do play it, play it on Hard.
>>339357942
Kingdom hearts I
>>339361248
I've got it backlogged, I'll probs send it back a bit. I played the demo and it felt like a 6/10 zelda clone. I'll still play it but not super keen
>>339361284
A friend of mine says it's one of his fave games and insists that I play it now, am I going to be disappointed?
Nope,Tales of Symphoniais still good and fun
>>339357942
Secret of Mana 2
Game is still good but I would like punch the retards that did the German translation.
I'm sure it isn't the deepest most serious story out there anyway but they made a fucking kindergarden out of it, 4kidz style.
>>339357942

I don't have this problem, OP.

Pic related.
Early 2000's Jackassvibe doesn't hold time at all.
Used to play shit out of this title but tried to start it again and got bored out of my mind.
THPS 4 is way better game and more fun to play even to this day
>try playing goldeneye on the 64
>these fucking controls
>that fucking controller
how did I do it?
>>339366716
The N64 controller made it playable. When you enter aim mode and use the control stick to aim it just works.
Not the same if you're emulating and using a more modern controller like a dualshock or a 360 since the analogs in those controllers have a lot more dead zones compared to the N64's.
It happened to me with Starfox 64 on Wii's VC. I couldn't aim for shit with the classic controller's analog, but I can do it just fine on the real console.
>>339359352
The Spyro trilogy holds up surprisingly well. 2 is a solid 10/10.
>>339366825
>since the analogs in those controllers have a lot more dead zones compared to the N64's
sounds like an issue with your emulation settings m8
>>339357998
Have to agree with the controls part. But the rest? Come on, anon.
Chrono Cross
I still like it, but I never cared for the story and it was very easy. Only 3 of the bosses gave me trouble. Most of the characters are shit. The combat was neat, but its still pretty meaningless.
The way to get the true ending was so convoluted that I fell for many other fake cheats because that one was correct.
>>339359352
Sorta this.
I never beat it or got very far into the game. But its still ridiculously precise.
>>339363784
God, so many good memories
>>339357942

>>339365568
I was 14 when Carbon was released.
How old are you, kid?
Goldeneye
had so much fun in multiplayer back in the days.
recently played it again with some friends and we all found the controls to be infuriatingly bad.
>>339357942
Onimusha Blade Warriors.
We used to play this shit all night when me and my buddy were 11 or 12.
Dug up my old PS2 with a memory card, found my old save still intact and played for a while.
>Clunky as fuck
Dropped it within a couple of hours.
>>339359352
Super Mario World.
Managed to find all the secrets and get my save to 100%.
Wish I could've done it 17-18 years ago. Would've been the king of the neighbourhood since almost every kid had a SNES and SMW and nobody had their saves at 100%.

Pic-related sort of
After playing it again recently I think it has a lot of charm and was enjoyable overall but I used to play it for hours on end and I'm not really sure how
There's not really a whole lot of "game" to it, what the fuck was I doing?

>go back to your childhood game
>its just as good as you remember
For me it was Lode Runner: the Legend Returns
>>339368597
Because 90% of the game is either walking or solving puzzles. Like most RPGs, it's artificially longer than the content. Even the bosses are more puzzle solving than action, and puzzles aren't fun to solve twice.
>>339357942
Gothic.
Then again, the controls were always bad and the story has never been more than okay so it's still about as good as it used to be.

Back at the time I had a shitty computer with windows vista and it run poorly, but I enjoyed the hell out of that game. Then I decided to try it last summer with my new computer:
>All those bugs (they where fixed in the updates but I couldn't update it for some reason and the EA management or whatever was the name had been closed by then so too late for me)
>Most of the stages were short and kind of bland
>Remember why I Ieft the game back then in the space stage
>All those fucking invasions with no end
>All those friendly races helplessly crying for help at everything and then blaming you for not helping them while you were rebuilding those attacked planets with the little money you got
>All those unexplored systems that would be kept unexplored because I couldn't move without being attacked by the invader of the week
And then I went to /v/ one time I read that greentext explaining what was left out from the game and all the shitty changes:
>The tetris like stage
>The medieval stage
>The fucking underwater cities
>The simplification of everything to appeal to the casual audiences (fucking casuals)
>Those retarded name changes because someone got ofended
>TheRideNeverEnds.jpg
>Never again
You triggered me pretty hard anon. I wish they would remake it with everything included
