As for Tomb Raider, I totally agree. I tried playing that game a few months ago, and I just couldn't put up with the controls.
edit. I was wondering why I got neggathumbed for this. Then I realized it's games that "haven't" stood the test of time. Still if you don't like Oblivion you'd hate Morrowind.
Most of that list is pretty poor though. Sure, most of those games are pretty outdated, but there are plenty of other games that haven't stood the test of time AT ALL. (Final Fantasy VII is one of them. You'll NEVER get a new gamer to play that one).
But they're right about Tomb Raider. Those controls were absolutely awful. I spent about 80% of the game falling off ledges. >_>
"Ok so these older games aren't as pretty as the newer games, so they all suck!"
Please...
The lack of split screen did mess it up quite a bit though.
It's funny to see them bash the gameplay though, considering I have absolutely no problems racing a completely crash-free race consistently. Yes, the game can definitely be unforgiving but that doesn't make it's gameplay flawed, it just means you suck at the game. Funny to see critics that go and praise games like Ninja Gaiden and DMC though with their difficulties. It's unfair though to blame a racing game, you can't just have different difficulty settings for racing physics.
You get the point.
I don't see how SM64 aged badly...I think it's a classic.
I still play Oblivion a fair bit >_> I have it on 1080i (would be 1080p upscaled if I had the right cables)....
Oblivion's graphics are a bit dated in parts, and from the get-go, the characters facial designs weren't all that good, but meh, the game is still very enjoyable >_>
Well, some games can be 'really awesome looking' from when they were released, but after a while, the graphics become out-dated, and you're left with a game, and it's (sometimes) now shallow gameplay >_>
3D graphics get outdated way faster than 2D, of course >_>
