    Young Link’s third appearance was as a dead skeleton afraid that he left no legacy 18 years ago.

    Combat Evolved came out 23 years ago. That’s older than Super Mario Bros. was when the Wii launched.

    At least they used the correct armor.

    It irks me when they use the armor from Halo 2 or the remastered game to represent Combat Evolved.

      I thought the halo ce was generally very well received. Is the hate for it a lemmy generation thing?

            It was revolutionary and changed a lot in game design on a significant number of fronts. It just aged poorly as others iterated and replaced its aspects. Halo has aged well mainly because (like most Bungie titles) it still feels like a modern title due to how tight, responsive, smooth, and intuitive the player’s interaction with the world is — mainly the controls and weapons.

        I’ve been playing for the first time a while back. It’s neat, but I think the primary reason people love it so much is that it’s the first popular console FPS that didn’t control horribly and split screen co-op. On it’s own it’s just a decent shooter that no longer feels special.

        So was a whole bunch of other FPS tripe that glorified USian militarism.

    its kinda funny because it looks dated even with the graphics overhaul in mcc but the gameplay is still solid, and there are older games that still look as good as release day but the mechanics are kinda rough. And some that always were and always will be perfect.

    I feel like at this point retro is more of a style though. Graphics can only get so realistic and anything made to peak modern visual standards will be harder to differentiate from previous decades as time goes on, if we don’t all die from pollution and war and other shit. Oh fuck, maybe retro will become anything that features a non-destroyed climate/environment in a world where children will be born having never seen what earth once was.

        What if, instead of leading humanity in a fight for survival against a diverse mix of alien races with complex social structures, he fought some apes on an otherwise uninhabited planet?

        Give this man a lead writing credit.

    It stings at first, but once you realize you can now play all of the classics on emulators it helps take the pain away.
