Nostalgia is a great thing. That warm feeling of joy and amazing memories from the past. A time when obviously everything was better.
So oftentimes, we go back to relive those memories, play these old games or enjoy the rare remakes. It can be a lot of fun to walk down memory lane.
Not always though. It can also be a frustrating and disappointing experience.
What have been your most disappointing nostalgia trips?
My current example:
Outcast - Second Contact
Man did I love the original back in 1999. The world, the voxels, the atmosphere, the water....
The remake was available for around 5 bucks on Steam, so I jumped in. Ready to re-experience the game with the improved visuals. And yes, 4k 60fps with reshade, it looks good!
Then I started to really play it. Way, way too much idiotic dialogue. Quests that go like "Find person x, but we don't know where he is, so find his brother x first." Totally awful feeling shooting and stiff controls. Laughable writing and voice recordings. It's just not fun to play for me.
I'll give it one more chance in the next weeks, to at least go further and see more of the world. I'd love to just cheat and get all the weapons so I could rush through. But can't find anything.
