Soul Hackers is a 3DS port of a 1987 game and it ****ing shows.

But goddamn is the story fun and the music fantastic.
Also Nemissa.

This appeals to my degenerate tastes.

Hilarious you say that, but it's been gaining more popularity as years go by. ProJared's review got a lot of used sales, it's gotten a full page on SpeedRun.com with a Discord as well(that's not counting my own), somebody managed to get a hack running using it to remake Mother 64(which fell through at some point, from what I know of), I've seen more wants for codes, hacks, etc.

Though it never was a great game in the first place. It didn't do well. It's aged better mostly due the "classic gem" premise. But anybody who has experienced can tell you some of its major downsides(hello, Blue Cave. Terrible mapping system. The compass isn't great. No proper item shops. You can't read signs outside of the Japanese 64 version, and the two Gameboy games). I appreciate the game for what it is, but it's flawed as hell. All the more reason I'd like to see basic improvements.

...Plus, I've thought of more than one kind of game hack using the series. Pokemon, Dragon Quest, Golden Sun...

Because Joker was the first reveal, I'm not really expecting any of the popular first-parties to be DLC. That's sad, because I really think Bandana Dee needs to be in the game. I wouldn't say that for any other character.

That's like saying because Ryu from Street Fighter was the first Smash 4 DLC, you're skeptical we'd get any other 1st party DLC.

I know he wasn't, but it's the same thing.

Part of it is also cause of Spirits. I don't 100% believe that they deconfirm, but something's telling me they do.

At the same time, the fighter's pass means that many people would have to deal with newcomers that are only hyped up within the core Smash community, if they come.

I love Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 and Heroes.

As much as I love The Legend of Zelda, I think the original game has...aged kinda poorly.

Several parts of the game feel rather wonky. There are a lot of things you can do in the game that have no hints that could give you any idea that they're actually possible in the first place, some of the methods required to defeat certain enemies are downright awkward (Darknuts, for example) rupees and arrows are considered the same item, thus draining you of your money with each shot you take, and I'm personally not too fond of the game's overworld map.

However flawed Zelda 1 is, it's still not a bad game in my eyes, and I enjoy it for what it is. I simply can't dislike what is the very beginning of my favorite game franchise of all time.

Besides that, one other example comes to my mind, and you already know which one it is:

The original Half-Life's graphics haven't aged well, and I can agree that some of it's level designs are...awkward and outdated. The voice acting and outdated character models also make it hard to feel sympathy for the Black Mesa personal, or hell, even take them seriously most of the time. The Goldsrc's engine is also limited enough that some effects either fail or aren't very impressive. There are still some scares to be had, but there's also a lot of narm to go around. Finally, the majority of the Xen levels are infamously badly-designed. It's a short chapter loaded with very small and cramped levels, many of which are enforce plenty of long-distance platforming, giving the game an underwhelming climax. It doesn't have much going for it besides it's creepy and totally alien atmosphere.

That being said, I actually enjoy the game for those old graphics and the general nostalgic and isolated feel of it. Besides that, I have to admire that HL broke a lot of new ground for gaming. Despite aging badly, it was largely quite impressive for it's time, Xen levels aside, so what it has achieved does still hold up today. I like playing it for it's "old" feel. Gives me kind of a nostalgic feeling, and I find the combat fun most of the time. To me it feels like I'm essentially playing a piece of history.

HL2 and Black Mesa are both far superior games, imo. The former also broke new ground for gaming, like it's predecessor, but it's graphics, gameplay, voice work, effects and writing have all held up much better, and the latter is simply an overall improvement on the first game in just about every way possible. The game's devs have even taken plenty of extra time to completely overhaul the Xen chapter and improve it's levels, too. A trailer for the chapter was released just last month, and it already looks amazing. I digress, though. Even if the later entries in the franchise are much better games, I still enjoy the original HL for what it is.

Hi there, I did not get a chance to greet you earlier. Haruka Ishijima is the name. At 57 years old, I am the eldest Smash fan on these boards. Been playing Smash since since 2005 beginning with Melee. Hope you come back to this thread more often because I am starting to do that myself.

Some games that haven't aged well?

Most 64 games including the godsends of Mario 64 and OoT, early 3D Sonic, and... that's all I can think of rn.

The Nicktoons Unite Series...yet I’ll still play them if they’re some of the THQ games being ported to the Switch

 

[Knight Dude]

Started up Mega Man 11 a little bit a go. I really like it. Though I've been getting bopped. I'm taking it one stage at a time and started off with Block Man. The game's controls are pretty much perfect. I think the only issue I have is that you should probably have checkpoints similar to Mega Man X4, X5, X6 and Mega Man 8, where if you reach the halfway point, you get to start over from there.

Either way, I did at least get better and better at the Block Man stage. The second falling block/conveyor belt segment was stressful as hell though.

The PS1 Spider-Man games, to a certain extent Spider-Man 2(I think it hasn't aged poorly, but it's aged.) Also DBZ Budokai 2 and 3. They're no DBFZ, but I still find them to be fun games, and I think their story modes don't drag too long like DBFZ's unfortunately does.

Metroid on NES.

Zero Mission fixed a lot of the problems it had, and it is awkward to play today.

I just made someone ragequit against me in Elite Smash, have I finally ascended to Smash godhood?

How many times do you have to break someone's shield before they realise that a move called "Shield Breaker" might possibly have the property of being able to break shields, and that trying to shield against it probably isn't an intelligent move unless you want to get your shield broken?

That person could have dodged the attack too.

I tend to shield and roll on instinct. I guess that's one of my bad habits in Smash.

I just ate basically 3 pomegranates. I feel like I'm gonna be sick. Why do they sell 2 packs of pomegranate seeds??

Here's a question.

I love this question, and Sonic Adventure 2 was actually the game I was thinking of!

While the graphics and dialogue sound synching is wonky and has issues (and the camera can be really annoying during boss fights) I still think Sonic Adventure 2 is a GOOD GAME. Not a great game, but a good one. The controls are crisp and as smooth as butter, the story is interesting despite having awkward plot holes in hit from time to time, the levels are really fun most of the time (yes, I actually LIKE treasure hunting most of the time; my unpopular opinion for the day), and the extra modes outside of the main game (Chao Garden, VS. mode, etc) are quite enjoyable and have a lot of charm to them. And, the music is stellar as usual. Adventure 2 is highly enjoyable and definitely one of my favorite games, and I'm glad I can love it despite realizing that it's flaws cause it to be not as good as what it was perceived at one point.

Speaking of Sonic games though, I actually have mixed feelings on Adventure 1 and Heroes oops lol

This reminds me of how a friend hates me because I spent most of a match spamming Wolf Blaster until he got at kill percent and **** or a different match with Mewtwo where I would shield his dash attack and F-throw him as Mewtwo constantly
