After playing Megazeux, going back to ZZT just was never the same

The older Final Fantasy games. I made a point of doing a playthrough of the NES version of FF1, and I'm glad I did. The increased difficulty over the GBA version is mostly better than the absolute lack of challenge in later versions, but the added content and qol improvements make it preferable to play a hardmode hack of the gba version in the future.
The NES FF2 is just too much. I lose stats? No thanks.
And I'm really glad the Pixel Remaster version of FF3 exists now, the NES version was pretty unpolished and glitchy.
Fatal Frame 1. I think it may be the only one with a different button map for the camera and it's so annoying. I purposely only emulate it so I can remap the buttons.
I have Grand Bazaar on the ds and I agree its hard going back to that from Stardew Valley. I managed to play through Knights of the Old Republic once and man. Loved it, can't do it again. (I also had to cheat to make it through the end because "force powers? Nah sniper rifle is fine" turned out to be not fine)
From GTA to GTA san andreas are all a pain now because the control scheme is so outdated, The pcs ports are even worse because they have the shittiest jankiest controls imaginable but they had that from the start. GTA 4 is borderline unplayable because of the trash camera controls but that was true when it came out as well.
The original Metro 2033 is a bit of a slog to get through as well if you can even get it to run.
I haven't gotten around to them myself yet (they're on the docket this year) but I've heard this said about Yakuza 1&2 since the release of Kiwami 1&2.
Those old computer dungeon crawler games, like Wizardry or Might and Magic 1-2. Jesus, they're absolute exercises in patience. You don't even have to play anything very recent to see how poorly they aged, even SNES JRPGs of 1992-4 were much better.
Black Mesa & SystemShock-Remake
Almost.
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition is basically worthless if you have Dark Souls: Remastered.
60fps, better graphics, better performance, QOL enhancements, and even better multiplayer features (up to 6 total players instead of 4, just like DS3).
Probably true of most remasters/remakes, outside of speed running. I do know that PTDE is still a popular version to speedrun due to certain glitches that aren't present in Remastered.
Dark Souls never even needed a remaster. The original could be released today and probably still be the best game of this year. The improved performance is the only thing worth noting, and even that only really matters in Blighttown, which everyone skips after their first playthrough anyway.
Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Now you got Rock, Paper, Scissors, Stapler, Banana, Atomic Bomb, Literature, Handcuffs, Police Brutality, Spock, Tweezers, Howling Dog.
And really, who would ever expect you to pick Tweezers? But it doesn't lose to much, so it's actually a great pick to twist your friends nipples. Unless they start EXPECTING you to twist their nipples, so they pick Atomic Bomb, and blow up all of civilization in a 30 mile radius.
Because if you are playing old version, you aren't having time to play new version.
Those greedy publisher doesn't want their old, better and well cared product cannibal on sales of their new products.
Silent Hill 2 remake has achieved a superior game in all aspects that it's nosense now playing the original one
