Games that were graphically impressive for their time, but are ugly now.

I actually hardly ever think something that looked good back then looks ugly now. When I play something older, I just get in that state of mind where you just judge things relative to what they can be..

Yeah it's a lot like that for me too; I do a lot of retro gaming and when I go back and play something on PS1 or the original Xbox for example my mind kinda sets its expectations according to the hardware and I can appreciate them by their own standards.

That said, some games have definitely aged better than others haha.

This actually got me thinking, I've been playing the original RE games on PS1 (well, haven't gotten to 3 yet since I'm doing them in order and 2 has a lot of replay value ), and man 1 is wayyyyyyy more ugly than 2. 2 actually has a very nice aesthetic for a PS1 game. 1 by comparison is pretty bad looking. I don't think it helps that they want for a less cluttered, less detailed, more barren aesthetic for the environments. 2 is so lively in comparison.
