Support NeoGAF

[Roni]

As I grow older, I find myself hyped for fewer and more specific releases. That, however, doesn't necessarily mean I'm playing less: not chasing the latest, shiniest stuff has given me the time to sit down and thoroughly enjoy games I might have rushed through back when they came out and I was anticipating a lot more titles.

Recently, I have been replaying the Deus Ex series and noticed yet another game (Mankind Divided in this specific case; though Human Revolution's Director's Cut also fits the bill, in a way) that falls into an ever growing strange category: games that got much better after they were released and covered by the initial media blitz.

For those that don't remember, Mankind Divided was ripped for the DLC they offered before the game was even shown. I played it in 2016, but revisiting it now in 2023 has revealed a number of improvements that make it a much more robust experience.

As mentioned, this is not the first title I've noticed this happen: Final Fantasy XV, Witcher 3, No Man's Sky, Stardew Valley and I hear even Ghost Recon Breakpoint has been turned around after some patching.

What are some other games that have improved with time, GAF? Let me know, so I can check them out!

Me playing red dead redemption today is much better than how it was on PS3

 

[small_law]

Titanfall 2 with three bucks on steam today and I had only ever played it on consoles. Bought it and got halfway through the campaign wasting my entire Sunday.

I just love the way that game plays. The awesome level design is just icing on the cake.

TLOU2

Definitely NOT TLOU2

TLOU2


Not!

Jokes aside, I would like to replay TLOU2 on PC, despite hating the story. The visuals, gameplay and animations alone on PC would be worth the double dip, assuming it wont run like a POS like the first.

Exhumed/Powerslave

One of the most criminally overlooked games of all time and still the best FPS ever made with Mario IV like level design perfection and beating Metroid Prime years before that game even made it out.

Just suffer through Mount Kazai.

I just feel like like it will require a top of the line gpu etc
