PROBABLY NOT. BUT I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE SAY THAT A GAME THAT WAS GOOD A FEW YEARS AGO WON'T BE GOOD NOW.

Because games evolve. When I played Tekken 3 I thought it was the best fighting game ever. Last time I tried it a few years ago after having played Tekken 6 and other fighting games, I didn't really enjoy it. Not sure what has changed over the years but I feel like it has changed for the better. When I played Super Mario Bros 3 (ok quite an old game, but still), it felt basic as hell. Quite slow and everything was predictable.

Same thing happened with Pokemon. I was a huge fan during the first generation (blue/red/leafgreen but when I played them again 3 years ago, I found them annoying. For some reason random zubat/ratata encounters bothered me less than they do now. Probably because my standards have risen after playing games like Nino Kuni.

Sometimes, games don't evolve for the better. Look at Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. It tried evolving by putting vehicles. It was critically panned. But I'm just saying that a game won't degrade in quality just because of age. I recently played Goldeneye 007 for the N64. It might have terrible controls, but I understand why people say it is one of the best FPS games of all time.

Oh, I'm sure that's the case. I even said so earlier (that it can go either way). It's just that from my limited experience, it's always been positive.
