Game mechanics evolve over time. Something may not be an issue at the time of a game's release, but improve later. Like how you can't move back to the left of the stage in Super Mario Bros. You have to think of the context of when the game was designed and released.

99% of the time "aging badly" refers to the general comfort of making use of something. Driving an old car that doesn't have power steering was the normal thing to do half a century ago, but people who are used to the current standard will tell you that the car is not "driveable".Many games have suffered something similar, because of bad controls, anti-intuitive UI, total lack of quality of life, abysmal frame rate, unbelievable input lag, etc., games that people once had the patience to play because there is nothing better available become difficult for those who are used to modern standards.

Nah, as things like control schemes, level design, and art styles improve over time, older games that did those things badly age poorly in comparison. There are old games that do those things well and things that don't, and now that we have better stuff to compare them to, we can accurately say that certain things 'aged poorly'

>>612671850Old graphics are fine, but, for example, Fire Emblem Gaiden has lots of generally disliked aspects (slow, unskippable attack animations on common enemies, overly simplistic maps for the most part, low class variety, equipment is either ridiculously powerful or borderline useless with very little middleground) that both the previous game and following game in the same series, as well as most later games in the same genre, don't have. Fire Emblem Gaiden aged poorly.

>>612671850That's not true.There are plenty of games which are regarded as classic in their time, and still beloved by those who played them back in the ay, but just aren't as good for new players because the standard for some mechanics or features has grown in the decades since release.For instance the UI and controls of the first two Fallout Games are fucking abysmal by modern standards. They are also two hard, bite me. I'm playing a game to have fun, not pass some form of exam.Pharaoh, the Impressions city builder game also has some mechanics which just don't make sense anymore. They were relics of their era, like recruiters for jobs had to walk around the roads until they found an unemployed person. And there was no AI, they just walked in straight lines down roads.Like that would be unacceptable today for anything other than a deliberate throwback to those older games.
Cameron Watson
>>612675031>For instance the UI and controls of the first two Fallout Games are fucking abysmal by modern standards.They were abysmal by the standards it was released. Just look at that inventory system. Other contemporary games had proper inventory.

Gavin Edwards
>>612675151true.Thinking about it, I haven't played that many 90s rpgs or city builders, so I can't honestly say what 'aged badly' or just was a flaw to begin with.And the difficulty stuff is more just emblematic of a change in thought around how to make a game worth-while, contemporary thought is to make a game long or just really good. While before, since games were comparatively so much more expensive with inflation and were also shorter, the thought process was to make them hard so that they had longer average runtimes.Which isn't bad, people do like games that are very difficult. I'm not one of them really. I prefer games to not be that difficult so I can just easily have fun without thinking too much about it.

Owen Young
>>612690374>Games do not age.No, but people's standards change, and what was acceptable in the past is not tolerable to people nowadays. It's also impossible to take the games as they are because you know how much better it could be if they were allowed to make it with modern standards.XCOM is absolutely terrible as a game because of it's extremely terrible menuing system and even if you get past that it's very slow and more unfair than the modern variants just to punish the player and force more playtime.People nowadays can't stand classic RE and SH because forced camera angles paired with tank controls is an unholy, slow, and unfun combo.Daggerfall is completely esoteric in how you're supposed to play it and you have to shift through multiple modes and extremely awful procgen just to do anything.The entire Ultima series and many Sierra point and click adventures would be considered unplayable nowadays because of how random all the solutions are, how it just insta-kills you at random when you enter random rooms, and where everything is placed.The original Fallout games are all over the place in terms of mechanics and designs, and 1 actively punishes the player for daring to explore even if they haven't found a solution for the water chip. 2's got the "prime TNT then drop on the ground" mechanic that no game nowadays does from a menu system like it does, and it's annoying at that.Goldeneye and Perfect Dark are both games that would be considered terrible by today's standards because of their hitscan enemies, horrible controls, bland levels, short levels, and more with massive quality variations even between two levels.These are all games that were great if not fantastic for the time. You want a simple example, then there is no reason anyone should ever play an Atari 2600 game in the modern day unless it's for nostalgia purposes because 99.9% of them would be considered unplayable minigames in full games nowadays. No one would consider these proper games.
Chase Ward
I want Lana's mom to spoil me and make me fat
Samuel Collins
>>612691859>No, but people's standards changeNo, the audience changes. For example, XCOM's menu system is extremely good and has many keyboard shortcuts to make actions take the absolute minimal amount of time, but they take longer than 5 minutes to learn which is how long it takes for the average normalfag to get frustrated and drop a game. Most of these games are still fantastic. (except Daggerfall, Goldeneye, and Perfect Dark, which are and always were garbage)
Gabriel Jones
>>612671850Undertale aged like shit.Goldeneye aged like shit.(You) aged like shit.
Benjamin Brooks
>>612671850No? For example, Xenoblade Andromeda aged like 10 years instantly the very moment BotW came out a mere 2 years later. This, it aged poorly.
Jace Harris
>>612671850Perhaps generalizing, sure, but the complaint of 'aged poorly' is entirely valid for the same reason as any art/media. Look at something easy like Citizen Kane; the reason it's famous/noteworthy is because it's one of if not the first popular cinema that used a consistent throughline with an unreliable narrator and multiple main characters. It established a way of delivering a narrative structure in movies that nobody had really done before. Go watch it now, and it's a fucking snorefest full of cliches because all the things it did back then, other people have refined and done much, much better now. That's the exact same deal for games. Something like Diablo 1 was incredibly interesting and new for the time, the idea of delving down into a dungeon in an isometric style we hadn't seen before, getting progressively better loot and gear like some kinda tabletop game while trying to fight off hordes of monsters. It was an incredibly important game, but it 'aged poorly' because there are dozens of better games with that formula that took what Diablo did and made it more interesting, more nuanced, more enjoyable now. Just because something aged poorly doesn't make it a bad game or poor product, it's not a reflection on the quality of the thing itself. Almost nothing is meant to last forever, and very few games can claim to be just as enjoyable now as when they released.
Anthony Bennett
>>612692578>but they take longer than 5 minutes to learnThe fact you need to learn keyboard shortcuts for basic mechanics is the entire issue here. I don't have to do that for modern day XCOM and when I do have to learn keyboard shortcuts it's for simulation games that make it crystal clear what the shortcuts are which XCOM does a very piss poor job at conveying.XCOM's menus are shit due to how they're not user friendly at all, its combat is shit because of how it's very difficult to tell what you're actually doing, its difficulty is unbelievably terrible even for the first level, it's hard to make out what is going on with some attacks, it's hard to make out what's going on when you're in a building, it's hard to tell if a rocket launcher shot will work or not without blowing you up, it has the same problem Fallout 2 does when it comes to prepping explosives and it's even jankier than in 2, and so on.

Replaying the first level over and over so you can slowly trial and error the hard parts is a fucking gay waste of time. Mechanics designed simply to waste your time are fucking stupid.Which is weird that we then went on to introduce season passes which require you to waste your time to unlock things. The game industry is going backwards.Also unskippable cutscenes are fucking gay.
