What makes a game age well?
What makes a game age well?
Samuel Allen
Ryan Reed
not having trannies and niggers as main characters
Zachary Price
Replay this once every two years or so and it never gets old
Carter Cruz
This, no doubt about it.
Easton Morales
Games that do whatever witchcraft Visceral Games did to make a game from 2008 still look amazing 12 fucking years later
Jacob Robinson
fpbp
Benjamin Murphy
artstyle over sheer tech
not falling into the trends of the current four year cycle
randomized elements in regular playthroughs
Nathan Collins
This and decent gameplay.
Jayden Allen
Textures are shit though.
Leo Wilson
>that armor and helmet
hng
I googled the art directors name and he worked on the mandalorian too
figures
Christian Johnson
for me, it's the water
Lucas Lewis
Having decent visuals overall, even if it's not as technologically impressive as something more modern
Having fun gameplay that even when it's not as "smooth" or streamlined as a more modern game, is still easy enough to adjust to.
Not blatantly being a part of some fad from the time period (though in some cases this can actually make a game more interesting to go back to)
Blake Thompson
This unironically plays a part, provided you mean flavor of the decade progress points.
For instance we had all those "badass" women in the 90s and early 00s. Everyone see it as the cringe it is today (Lara Croft being perhaps the only exception but old Lara is completely out of pop culture now). Even the feminists now dislike it and favor other female types.
Meanwhile the (white) human male, at least partially buff and stoic, is truly timeless.
Ian Harris
Good art design and fun gameplay that manages to be good on its own merits and not just compared to what was current at the time.
David Perry
Far Cry>Half Life 2>Doom 3
Robert Baker
Being designed around a specific platform which excels in certain tasks, making it hard to recreate or improve on newer more homogeneous platforms.
Wyatt Lewis
Visually?
Good lighting and animation.
Jonathan Jackson
I used to think this game was the hardest shit ever.
Of course playing this on a shitty Pentium 4 with 256MB of RAM and a fucking FX5200 at 800*600 at sub 30 fps while having loading times of several minutes didn't help.
Never replayed it since, maybe I should.
Gabriel Gomez
Good art direction.
Juan Sanchez
Isn't this one of the few games that had the cancelled OICW?
Jayden Kelly
>1280x720
No comrade, we UHD spooks nao.
Jose Young
good lighting, and a dedicated art style that they dont deviate from
halo 3 will hold up to the end of time for this
Connor Barnes
The gameplay is fun
William Turner
Did they fix the MCC yet?
Adrian Cruz
The a.i is still bullshit even played today.
Brayden Perry
Imagine having such a shit taste.
Brayden Williams
HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA
no
Landon Sullivan
soul, obviously
Noah Howard
San Andreas disagrees
Ian Sanchez
Style and Grace
Brandon Baker
maybe you could just tell me what its like since you seem to be an expert in the department
Anthony Thomas
>not having trannies and niggers as main characters
Grayson Rivera
If the rumors of a Mass Effect remaster are true I sure as hell hope they consider remastering Dead Space as well, the game doesn't "need" it but it sure as hell deserves it
Jason Murphy
based
James Kelly
Reminder that Far Cry was like the 2nd fps after Halo to freely incorporate vehicles into gameplay like that.
Brayden Martin
>the game doesn't "need"
On PC it does
Ethan Green
nigger games that revolve around pure nigger culture are the exception
regular games shouldn't have nigger, tranny or ugly female main characters
Julian Davis
All DS needs is a mousefix and some higher resolution textures as it plays just fine.
Angel Ortiz
Having a cool and unique style, like Jet Set Radio, Okami, Kirby Epic Yarn, Rayman Origins/Legends, or Zelda Wind Waker, or Journey, all "realistic" games will end up looking like shit eventually, games that try to be unique and approach their graphics with a unique style in mind will forever look nice.
Dominic Rodriguez
Far Cry was fine until the part with the mutants then it becomes one of the most frustrating games of all time.
Angel Walker
Its only bullshit if you don't install the fan patch that fixes the AI being able to see through walls.
Bentley Ortiz
You know they'll just make it look worse
Wyatt Brown
good artstyle
Jose Nelson
I mean stuff like FOV, the fucking awful mouse controls, vsync, etc.
Lincoln Cooper
games don't age, only your perception of it does
Brayden Cooper
Artstyle
Gameplay
I just wish I started playing TXR and RRT4 earlier
Leo Lopez
When the sequel is worse. I'd post a pic of Rage 2 but I can't be assed to download one.
Matthew Flores
Yes.
Julian Baker
2d
Hunter Jackson
Kayden Miller
An artystyle that strives for something other than realism at the expense of everything, and presents an experience that can't be boiled down to one or two cliches or concepts.
Owen Hall
