Stealth games that were actually stealth games(á la Thief) and horror games that were actually horror games.(á la Silent Hill)
I actually really miss SSX3. Was an awesome game having free roam of a mountain with no loading screens, huge diversity in locations, and SO many competititons in which it was impossible to get Gold in until you did some higher ones to get some better Snowboards... wasn't even repetetive, still took ages to complete. Sadly, i found the disc snapped the other day RIP Allegra (the boarder i used to play as :/)
Gaming wise I'll hardly miss anything. Either I own the original game or I can download/emulate it.
That games started prioritizing graphics over story for years now. For me, SNES will always be king of the console games
I miss games like KotOR, Nox, D2, Thief etcetera....
Atleast they had good story/very good gameplay/made you think/were hardmode/lasted longer than 4 fucking hours!
I miss having magic in Zelda games. None of the more recent ones have had magic. LET ME CAST DIN'S FIRE DAMNIT.
I miss having a melody play when I pick up an expansion in a Metroid game. Minor point for some people, major for me! I also miss Samus being a more respectable character. As attractive as I admit she looks in the zero suit, she was never meant to be a sex symbol. That and the ridiculous panicky scared submissive way she acts in Other M make me die a little inside.
I miss having First person shooters where you have to compensate for bullet drop over long distances and lead a moving target. Using precise, timed, aimed shots with a bolt action rather than having an assault rifle that's accurate to the other side of the map and helicopters killing my enemies for me.
Games like Modern Warfare are pretty fun, if you just want to have a quick game of killing people in a reflex orientated shooter that gets quite hectic. But I want games that reward you for being patient and taking good shots rather than spamming grenades and bullets. Think United Offencive.
Wing Commander 3: Heart of the Tiger
Tie Fighter
X-Wing
Final Fantasy games before they got guns and industry - yes, I mean before VII
Not hating on VII, I just wish they would have called it something else (and started a new series) and continued with an old-school fantasy theme. I totally understand that the Final Fantasy name alone sells, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it.
Opulence. I has it.
good writing and stories. but maybe that all went away since im not a kid anymore and i have higher standards.....
I miss games that actually had epic soundtracks. Nowadays music seems to be rushed in almost every game. HOMM2-3 still has the best soundtracks ever made. Also Gothic series. Sure there's some great sounds in WoW too, especially http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_xJJftWiLg
Super mario world, Best game ever
I bet you could find it cheap =P
Rogue Squadron - N64.
Rogue Squadron 2 - Gamecube. Works on the Wii too. If you have none of those consoles... you have definitely missed out ^_^
Rogue Squadron 3 - Also Gamecube. The ground based missions are a bit lack luster but the flying ones are great.
Really immersive gameplay, challenging, great controls, engaging. Well made games ^_^
