Games do not age, you do. Is there anything more pigheaded than claiming that time passing makes a game bad because you are too conceited to admit you were wrong? There are 30 year old games which are still fun to play today.

You are the pigheaded one, because you automatically assume that when someone says that a game is old, or has aged, they're implying that it's bad, instead of just putting it in the correct historical context.
You assume this because you're insecure in your own taste in vidya and you overcompensate by acting like a smug elitist, when in reality it's all because your pepee is very small.

preach your retarded opinions somewhere else faggot boomer

God damn Akane is so cute
Josiah Harris
Are you retarded that you cant understand "good" is a relative term. If a game came out with the same mechanics and gameplay of 90s it be considered shit for a good reason

>you automatically assume that when someone says that a game is old, or has aged, they're implying that it's bad
It only makes sense in that context. There are only three ways to present gameplay, which has been true since before the invention of video games. Only the presentation has (arguably) improved.

People just get afraid of things they aren't used to, so they mask it behind "it's just aged". Let them cope, OP.

Games and our perception of them don't exist in a void. Our perception of how good things are depends on how good comparable things are, like other games. Games that "have aged badly" have simply been overtaken by other, better games, because they relied on graphics or mechanics that could be done strictly better with more performance, or because they pioneered concepts without having a demonstration of their shortcomings. The games are as good as they were, but now that better games exist, they don't measure up as well, they're relatively worse.
Connor White
No, you unironically have brain damage from staring at a phone screen/monitor all day. 90s gameplay is perfectly fine, if not better than what we see today because there was a narrower market-base to appeal to.
Bet you can't read a book either.
Jose Gomez
Kasumi is better.
Adam Rodriguez
A good game is good forever but that doesn't mean that features don't age.
Jack Ramirez
The only thing that has changed is that you are mentally incapable of putting in the effort required to play an old video game because you are a normalfag that was raised on consoles and have grown accustomed to being spoonfed.
Leo Taylor
Akane is trash
Anthony Hughes
No? I still play old games. Some old games "have aged well" because they got their mechanics right from the start, or learned from even earlier examples how not to do it, and because they prioritized style over an attempt at realism, and so a more realistic presentation from more processing power doesn't improve over the style they already have.
Also, I grew up on PC, so try again.

Go watch The Cheese Mites and then come back and tell us how thrilling it still is to this very day.
Logan Phillips
It's too bad she's such a jealous, flash-tempered cunt. As it is, she's the worst girl the series has to offer.

This is objectively correct. I want Kasumi cook for me.

That's like 90% of the cast.

Hilarious that, had me in stitches just like it would have the audience at the time.

Just post some good Shampoo porn or something OP. You can't leave us hanging like that.
Evan Peterson
In fact it is all a lie, since impermanence itself is a fucking meme.
Joshua Flores
God dammit I hate all of you
I'm actually a shampoofag i just think Akane is really cute
Caleb Evans
Their quality doesn't change, but they do age in comparison to newer titles that build on them.
Jace Taylor
At least you have some taste
Bentley Gomez
At least you tried.
Jose Turner
fuck off Akane

Rumiko Takahashi has to be the most frustrating mangaka around. She'll make these great characters and great situations, and then goes nowhere with them. I think only Maison Ikkoku had some semblance of an ending.
Nathan Robinson
If someone were to play Final Fantasy 1 or Dragon Quest 1 on NES today for the first time after being accustomed to modern Pokemon, Persona, Final Fantasy, etc. they have to play it and acknowledge that they were made in a different time where glitches are prevalent, design choices due to hardware restrictions and concepts that are commonplace in game are being executed for the first time. If they are jumping into the series because they heard it was popular and want instant gratification, they're going to call them outdated and skip it. If I were to explain how these games are to simple-minded players, I would cut it short and just say they are outdated. If the person I am talking to is interested in finer aspects then I can explain without using "age" as a description. People who have respect for history aren't calling these things bad like you say they are.
I'm starting to watch Ranma 1/2 and I like Nabiki's hair and thighs.
Josiah Richardson
Where my shampoo boys at?
Xavier Thompson
I was playing games 30 years ago. So I've been able to avoid the bias. And I've found that there's good games in every generation. The same percentage of about 90%, 7% decent, 2% good and 1% excellent games.
That's why you only watch the anime adaptations. When a different staff takes over, they actually do something with the characters. When Takahashi has contol (Ranma/Inu Yasha), she just milks it forever until the series gets cancelled.
Caleb Hughes
She was best girl.

Literally every game you have listed here is complete garbage. This is the problem. You people have played nothing but garbage, old and new.
Michael Powell
Many games do age poorly, dipshit.

Takahashi's characters are endearing precisely because they all yearn for something they cannot get. Nothing can possibly live up all the buildup and pent up frustration.
Cameron Hughes
I don't play many jrpgs so I'm just using general examples that get discussed a lot.
Colton Williams
>Games do not age
some mod sticky this, metaphors are to be used in Yea Forums not in technology related subjects.
Nathan Allen
Nah, that's just shit writing. It's been done in many non Takahashi works as well. Kimagure Orange Road being the absolute worst with it. But at least KOR did lead to an ending, even if it was one of the worst endings in history. And of course, every soap opera ever.
Benjamin Perez
Understanding of game design and technology continue to increase, what used to look "photo realistic" to us 10 years ago now looks worse than what any nobody can shit out with a 3D modelling tool in a few minutes.
Once standards rise, outdated content becomes retroactively worse.
Same for silent movies or music recorded on worse hardware, what used to be acceptable in the past isn't anymore. You denying this either means you're lying, or a heavily delusional boomer who thinks that N64 games still look great or have "soul".
Juan Reed
>KOR
Are you talking about I Want to Return to that Day? It's been a long time since I last watched it. It was brutal, but what makes you think it's the worst ending in history?.
Leo Bell
Since modern games all have a lot of loading times, installs, fix patches, updates, trophy info, and many other unecessary shit cluttering the experience, I think older games, in general, are better aged than modern ones.

Hudson Martin
That's because you're only remembering the classics. Even famous franchises have shit original entries, Metal Gear fans don't give a fuck about Metal Gear 1 and for good reason.
Joseph Parker
games don't age, you age
Games are still the same 1 and 0. You, however, are more jaded than when you have played that game.

What does Ranma sees in Akane anyways?
Jordan Sanchez
The entire story could have been cleared up in episode 1. And every episode after that is a cheap situation where Kyosuke gets blamed for something one of the two girls initiates.
Everything is based on a misunderstanding which Madoka should have cleared up. But she keeps being a prick and expecting Kyosuke to do it, so she can keep from losing Hikaru as a friend. And then what happens in the movie? Madoka finally tells Hikaru everything and loses her as a friend. So the WHOLE ten years and all the episodes you watched was a fucking waste of time.
And then, the movie wasn't even the ending. They made a second movie and specials that reset the time back ten years and just dragged it out farther.
