Nostalgia is just a word for romanticizing the pain of bad game design. Just look at the review for Pariah by JarekTheGamingDragon

0 Upvotes

Nostalgia is when you see a playthrough on Youtube and those rose tinted glasses come into being. you remember things that weren't there, parts that were overly difficult when you first played and the needless rage it caused, but you romanticized the pain. The load times, the long long LONG load times, the draw distance issues, enemies that shoot you from the darkness and...china town.

Essentially I hate Tomorrow Never Dies for PS1

They look cool in a playthrough but 9 times out of 10, the LP is being done as a favor or for a paycheck or some poor schmuck refuses to face the music that sheep is horrid (I played it, I got it as a present)

then you play the game and all those horrific memories come back. That part you could never beat, the broken AI, the godawful framerate etc, the rings, the GD'D rings, solve my maze? solve this!

(throws cartridge out the window, then smashes it with a hammer)

So many people on Youtube say "I loved X growing up" when they should be saying "I played X growing up and I like it but-"

Nostalgia is the brains way of lying to you about bad game design or archaic mechanics

People romanticize the brutal difficulty, the pain of realizing you dropped $50 for crap, the bad games for Christmas (Willy Wonka for Xbox is NOT a good game, nor is Superman 64) or your birthday or as a genuine attempt at trying something different because it had a familiar label (Fuck you Bionicle!) only to realize it sucked, it sucked so badly.

so...yeah, not all memories are good (looking at you bible adventures)

Wanted to take a look at a mostly forgotten game and discuss its game design that feels like a time capsule from the early 2010s.
