'Classic' Games You Don't Care To Go Back And Play

I tried to go back and play the original deus ex before human revolution came out and hated it. its so dated. it was a chore to play through that game so I quit about a quarter through

other classic games I will never go back and play because I don't care:

Halflife 1 & 2

Castlevenia symnphony of the night

Final Fantasy 6

Fallout 1 & 2

Systrem shock 2

I just don't care

Final Fantasy VII. Ugh....

I have Morrowind and Deus Ex, but I have no intention to play them.

The NES castlevanias.

Part of me wants to try the NES NIja Gaidens and also try to attempt, but another part of me realizes I'd probably end up breaking something in the process, so...yeah.

I have bought several bundles off of steam over the last several years and I just haven't been bothered or ever interested enough to go back and play the old Hitman games or Deus Ex... I have hovered over the install buttons but never committed. I think as a gamer I want new experience more than playing old games... I guess that's why we get so pumped for sequels, best of both worlds! Grey_Eyed_Elf

A little off topic, I am playing Final Fantasy XII right now and it's absolutely fantastic still...this after having gone thru 7 years of this generation and seeing the likes of Crysis and GOW3.

On another note, FFXII is also a higher qualiy game than the majority of games that have released this generation as well--this goes hand and hand with my previous line of thinking that this generation started out with a lower standard of quality than the previous generation of consoles and is only surpassed by a few stand out exceptions like Demon's Souls (regardelss of graphics).

Half Life 2, this game is pure crap-tastic

it is funny that there are games from this generation that feel more out dated than some of the "classics".

Aaaahhhh how dare some of you say Half Life 2:cry:

I am playing Deus Ex 1 for the first time and loving it. For me though its Resident Evil 4 on game cube. I just finished the remake of resi 1 and playing 4 again is not doing anyhting for me. it just reminds me of 5.

1 has amazing atmosphere and is genuinely quite scary... 4? Terrible!!

You crazy OP, I still love playing SotN and FFVI... SotN is definitely the more replayable of the two though.

Yeah FFXII is pretty great. It has pacing issues from hell and a good deal of uninteresting characters, but its damn solid and full of content. It actually felt like a next gen FF moreso than the XIII games.

But the same could be said for many last gen games compared to their current gen counterparts.

Half Life 2, this game is pure crap-tastic

Zero desire to play FFIX after the first time I played through it.. Which was years ago.

First two generations of Pokemon. Bad Pokemon (first gen), bad sprites, and pre-fourth gen Kanto. That sucks. Blabadon

Only from what I've played myself, Half-Life 1..definitely.

And also I'm not gonna say pokemon games are anything but easy now, but there's no difficulty whatsoever in the first generation. I think the closest I got to losing a fight was like three of my pokemon fainting and that was because I had battled like 15-20 trainers in a row without healing.

But I will agree with you about Deus Ex, Half Life, and Fallout.

I'll also throw GTA3 under the bus.

its not that those games are dated necessarily (besides SS2) its just I don't care enough to go back to them

Well it is tough to replay FFVI after playing it into the ground, I'll admit. But SotN just never gets old to me. Its up there with games like SMB3, SMW, NGB, SSF2, etc...

Some games I just dont get tired of.

Part of me wants to try the NES NIja Gaidens and also try to attempt, but another part of me realizes I'd probably end up breaking something in the process, so...yeah.

those NG nes games are so dang cheap.

Once I beat a game I usally move on. Only games i sometimes replay is really fast games like the old school RE games. I dont know how people play some jrpgs over like 3 times.

Ninja Gaiden 3 NES is extremely cheap! Not worth playing. The first Ninja Gaiden is only really cheap if you lose to the last boss. Ninja Gaiden 2 is fair enough though.

The games arent really that hard actually, I think most people are just scarred by their childhood memories of the games. For a kid, they were damn tough! I typically beat 1 and 2 in a single sitting now.

I played it last year:P. the constant spawing foes espcially when they appear once you make the jump. Dam thing drove me nuts.

Yeah it sucks how the "respawn" works lol. I guess I just got so used to the games over the years. Even in the crazy trouble spot jumps I guess I just have my methods figured out.

...though I'll never be cool with those damn eagles, or hawks or whatever the f*ck they are! Seriously, those damn birds are my worst enemy in those games.

1. Metroid (NES)

2. Soul Blade/Edge (PlayStation)

3. Mario Kart 64 (N64)

There are only a few classics that I still play time to time, most of them I just got bored once I got into the game, usually in the first dungeon it became tiresome (BG2 / fallout 2 for example. I lost my save for Witcher 2 and was thinking to replay it but cannot stand the gameplay as well...)
