What older games do you think have not stood the test of time?
What games that you liked before, it is no longer so pleasant to play them, the gameplay seems boring, the graphics are childish, and you can see all the disadvantages of the game? I remember playing a stalker, it seemed very lively and a real game, not very different from the real world. But right now, all this looks very weak, and there is no longer any strength, walking around these places becomes boring quickly. For me, the stalker has not passed the test of time. Although it seemed like a game for centuries ... Take max payne, and the first in the second, the game seemed interesting and exciting as before, and now. Because it was done with a soul, it is clear that they invested in full. Siberia 2 recently passed, it's also cool, it doesn't seem like some kind of cartoon, but a normal real game, although the game is many years old. Unfortunately, Vice City began to seem like a cartoon, and quickly becomes boring. Although before, I thought how in the real world you can steal cars,Katanar

STALKER has been "living" with the help of mods almost from the very outset. Especially, this concerns the Shadows of Chernobyl with its "rubber bullets" in version 10001

Sometimes I wanted to try to play a stalker with mods, but something stopped me, that all this was not done by professionals, so it would not be very interesting, but there xs. I realized that you really like the stalker, but right now he is no longer as original as it was before. It was one of the first open world games! I remember the rain in the game, I liked it so much that when it went, I waited it in some room)
Sounds pretty dumb - haven't stood the test of time.
in theory, there should be games with good sales, leading the tops. and where that nearby ran games that did not sell very well but became a legend. the first in this case did not pass and were cast into oblivion.
games that have passed the test of time passed it dialectically through the denial of the concept and then its return in the form of classic games is all sorts of tetris and platformers. the reason for this is strange and florid. in general, these should be massive and hype products for categories of society that store and transmit information. also it must be that what has reached the peak of development in its own kind. at the moment, all games for more than 10-20 years will not pass the test of time and spread out like a soap if something does not happen and they will not be the last hype games in their genre. I have terrible apocalyptic visions in which cyberpunk2077 is the latest single-handed cross-platform game of the millennium and there is looking for a squadron of some sort running around.

Morrowind. Paralytic combat is absolutely outdated. This throwing dice off-screen with a 1 in 10 chance of hitting the enemy is perceived as porn by today's standards.
Assassin`s Creed 2. The gameplay and controls are very awkward. And the interface designer who came up with icons with action buttons to draw not buttons that need to be pressed to perform an action, but the action itself is generally a genius (no). The game is really outdated, before it I went through (in 2020) Haunting Ground (survival horror with ps2), so despite the gap in a couple of years there is still very convenient control and well-placed fixed camera angles.
These are mainly experimental (first FMV, 3D games, indie cloud) and hastily assembled titles for the sake of hype (clones of Super Mario, GTA III, Oblivion, Minecraft).
Experimentalism does not count on success, very rare games manage to please the majority, it is easier to list the exceptions that have fired - Demon's Souls, Minecraft, Shovel Knight.
Failed crafts usually chase time, therefore they turn out to be crooked and faded - Balan's Wonderworld, Bubsy 3D, Radical Heights.
By the way, it doesn't matter whether they are old or new.

Many games now look questionable in terms of realism. Although this is largely understandable: the capabilities of the engine and physics in those days. But even here not everything is unambiguous, it all depends on the specific game. So, the most primitive game Doom 2 has passed the test of time with a bang. 8) Mods and maps for it are made every year, there is nothing superfluous in the game and nothing is required, a port like gzdoom gives exactly everything you need. In a word, the ideal has been achieved, and this game is eternal: just make maps and mods, you can play in any year of the 21st century ...

And don't say &) Why Donkey Kong 64, which came out in 3D, turned out to be very successful project, and Babsi 3D is bullshit? ...

Exactly. Sometimes you hit the enemy several times in a row with a sword and never hit ^ _ ^ Absurd. If the skill affects this so much, it still looks completely unrealistic.

in Doom is very good gamedesign. The enemies are perfect and make interesting combinations. What can not be said about some Hexen or Shadow Warrior (powered by Duke Nukem). By the way, Romero was responsible for the enemies and the general pace of Doom.
And in Hexen, there is still absolutely disgusting level design.
Need for Speed: Underground 2.
This game fascinates me a lot, but at the moment it is extremely depressing to go through a career in it. Too drawn out and monotonous. Particularly infuriating is the sheer number of races on monotonous URL tracks. Rides from race to race, from store to store were interesting THEN, but NOW only takes a lot of extra time, but not entertaining (plus, as much as I like Bayview, it is not very convenient for fast movement). And in general, there are few interesting types of races in the game, most of them are circular races, differing only in location. Even the late drift is terribly prolonged.
At the same time, the first part of the Underground is still passed with great pleasure, despite the fact that the variety of tracks (and everything else) in it is much less (and I am also somewhat annoyed by the local drag).
TES5 hasn't passed the test of time for me. I realized this when in 2020 I played and passed Morowind for the first time and replayed Oblivion. After TES3 / 4, Skyirim seems gray and boring, devoid of many interesting RPG chips such as gear wear, field alchemy, creating your own magic spells and much more. There is a desire to return to the third / fourth Scrolls, but not to the fifth. Yes, TES3 / 4 also has its drawbacks, but TES5 has incomparably more of them.
I agree with Vice City, despite the adult content, the plot and atmosphere of the game is quite "childish". To be honest, I played it myself until I was 18, and I remember then I liked it. Now for me the standard of Grandiose Tyrinya Cars is its fourth part, the heroes of Niko and his brother look vital, and the plot is dramatic and interesting, even in comparison with three friends from the fifth part.
