Games that you think are no longer awesome

[JWeinCom]

Pokemon

Just in general. It's weird, I replay old games a lot but for whatever reason I just can't replay any of the Pokemon games except Red and Blue out of nostalgia. Maybe cause I figure it's better just to wait for the next one.

Banjo-Kazooie

Still not bad, but hasn't aged as well as Mario 64. The puzzles aren't challenging enough and for the most part the platforming isn't good enough either. There are a few parts that are still great, but most of the game is just good.

Donkey Kong Country

The computerized graphics were impressive back in the day, but it's just a decent platformer that doesn't have exceptionally interesting mechanics or amazing level design.

Mortal Kombat 1-3

It had blood. Aside from that these are pretty mediocre fighting games.

Sonic Adventure

I think the Sonic segments of the game actually hold up surprisingly well. The Tails levels are good too. Everything else is mediocre or bad, and the overworld is boring.

Spider-man Shattered Dimensions

I actually really liked this at the time, but then tried to play it again and just wasn't feeling it. Not helping that the new Spider-man game is so much better. Maybe I'll give it another shot one of these days.'

Final Fantasy 7- Still pretty good, just not as amazing as a lot of people thought at the time. The battle system is just too simplistic and rarely offers a real challenge. I never had to think all that much on how to load out my characters, except for the two weapons. Story has some strong points but sometimes awkward pacing, and many characters don't really get a chance to shine. Soundtrack still fucking rocks though.

Super Mario Bros - Obviously one of the most influential games of all time, but kind of meh overall. After the first couple of worlds, the game doesn't really have anything new to show you. It's still fun, but it gets a little repetitive. In comparison, Mario Bros 3 has novel level design to the end.

Smash Bros Brawl, 4- It's just hard to find a reason to play these anymore with Ultimate existing. Melee's mechanics give it a unique niche and SMash 64 has its clunky charm.
