/vr/ - Retro Games

I think a game that was once the pioneer of it's day can now have considered to have "aged badly" in a sense there are so many better alternatives. An example that I know will probably make some upset is Dragon Quest 1 (Dragonwarrior). It was pretty much the first real JRPG and at the time it was amazing, but now it's so bare-bones and nothing but grinding, there was hardly any story at all, etc. Now you have all kinds of JRPG games to choose from which just have so much better and refine the experience of how an RPG is played and experienced.

So I'm not saying Dragon Quest 1 is a bad game because for it's time it was the shit. But it has aged badly since the time it was released and can hardly hold a candle to most any RPG games that came after it. There's almost literally no reason to go back and play it other than to relive those fond memories because of how outclassed it is by other RPG games and it's sequels. It has aged badly.

Man. I actually own that cart. Part of me was mulling over the idea of trying to beat it again, but it just takes so long.
