Games you have nostalgia for, but will never play again because they aren't as good as you think.

I almost literally just bought it for the PS4, but GTA San Andreas. It was my favorite game for a long time and I still consider it to be in my top 3. But, I am well aware that the game hasn't aged well. It wasn't even a good looking game for its time, but it made up for that by its sheer scale. Despite the mediocre graphics, it was just an incredible game for its time and I enjoyed it a lot. I tried playing it again long after getting accustomed to the generation after it, and it just wasn't the same. Outdated mechanics and, again, the graphics are distractingly bad by more modern standards.

@judaspete: Larry 1-3 are still cool games though.

@apomodern: Dude I had a PSP and there was a ratchet and clank game that was about Clank being a Spy and going on adventures without Ratchet and Ratchet was in jail. And I played Size matters and that was a blast.

Usually play games i will play again, for how i do it : D

Oblivion is kind of a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm working on a magic build at the moment and going through the Mages Guild. The dialogue is all kinds of bad and the animations are clunky but creating custom spells is good fun. From what I remember, the main quest in that game was pretty repetitive but some of the sidequests are great. The atmosphere of the game's world is what really makes it for me. Something about exploring the forests while that Jeremy Soule score plays that's almost therapeutic in a way.

The only good thing about Oblivion is the music and the setting for the first five-ten hours before repetition sets in and the recognition of all the bland, generic, shit design once you've had experience with it. Same for Skyrim.

Never had the Secret Agent Clank game, I did have the Daxter game which I know was a big hit on the PSP

Wild Arms 2 - Mechanics and graphics were okay-ish at first. I was able to complete it. However, with so many other games, I found the graphics poor aged at best. Also, the story is kinda... I don't know... Average? Also, it has random encounters, which became less than common over the years.

Xenosaga Ep.1 - The 3d graphics aged also badly. Well, it serves as an introductory game to the Xenosaga series, and the characters are interesting to get into. However, the battle mechanics are too grindy and would make a player spend hours to improve characters. Probably still good, but the series needs a remake and re-expansion.

Tom and Jerry (SNES) - A platformer game that was a typical 2d sidescroller like any other. After watching one of YouTube videos, I realized how bad it was.

Mickey's Ultimate Challenge - A poorly-executed puzzle game, and its Medium and Hard modes are awful, especially for children.

@apomodern: I had that Daxter game too! The one with bugs?

World of Tanks.

Had no problem playing Donkey Kong Country again. It still looks fantastic. If its for memories i totally understand.

Goldeneye, the N64 has the absolute worst controller for a fps.

I am playing HITMAN right now. I completed it before already, but still came back to complete each mission ways and challenges. The Patient Zero DLC is good. But yeah.... its not that game for which i would come back again after completing all the missions in various ways. Still a superb game :).

I hated Halo when it came out because I couldn't side step with buttons and just could not get the double sticks down. Playing so much Goldeneye and Perfect Dark ruined me for a while. Now I couldn't imagine going back.

Defientely the Kingdom Hearts games. I have replayed through them recently in time for 3 and the experience wasn’t as good as I remember it being when I played them as a kid.

All the series has to offer for me now is the opportunity to visit new worlds. I become brain dead during the cutscenes. I still understand the storyline for the most part though.

I wrote this over a year and a half ago, so I just want to say that I actually played GTA San Andreas in its entirety on the PS4 a while back and had a really good time with it. Played it without cheats and it, of course, looked much better than when I played it on the PS2.

My new answer to this would probably have to be Pokemon. I was really into the GBA Advance and early DS games. The last one I played was SoulSilver. But I just don't think playing another one would be worth my time. I've been there and done that enough times with the franchise and it just gets way too repetitive and time consuming, especially when I start getting obsessed with stats and trying to make "perfect" builds which ultimately sucks the fun out of it.
