Honestly cannot think of one. No game came to mind.

---

OoT and all 3d Zelda games

---

First thought was Ocarina of Time

But that's not really true. I don't love it as much as I once did, but it doesn't hit the same highs.

---

bioshock infinite

---

Mario Kart 64

---

First thought was Tales of Symphonia... and it might be right T_T

---

Golden Sun

Actually, I've thought of one.

Kirby's Dream Course. I loved to play that with my best friend as a kid, but I tried to play it again on the SNES Classic and it just wasn't the same. Of course, it would have probably been more fun with another person, but still.

---

ok this technically isnt my first thought because I needed to sort of process whether or not a game like this even existed, but I settled on Donkey Kong 64

I dont know that I necessarily dont like it now, but I definitely had some rose colored glasses for it before trying to play it again more recently
---

I struggled with this one because I kept thinking of games that I still like. Finally I came up with Paperboy.

Devil May Cry 2

---

Maplestory

---

I've got nothing for this one

---

Donkey Kong Country 2

i couldn't think of anything and ended up defaulting to my answer from yesterday

---

Super Mario Galaxy

---

League of Legends

---

Diddy Kong Racing

---

Ico

---

took a long time to think about, and the first thing I could come up with was Red Steel

---

Wow I think I've started to meta this

First thought was "Metal" and then I was like "fucking NO", and hurriedly changed the last word to "Slug" instead of "Gear Solid".

So
Metal Slug

---

Culdcept

uh

i don't "not like it anymore" its just the first thing that came to mind because i tried to think of a game i played a lot when i was younger but don't think about anymore

TMNT (Arcade)

---

Pokemon Go

---

Secret of Mana really hasn't aged well

---

Tales of Vesperia

I used to think Vesperia was top-tier Tales. I barely made it through the Definitive Edition.

really can't think of anything, my nostalgia goggles can be pretty damn strong

Brawl?

The questionable part is if I "really liked" it, but I was cool with my first SSE playthrough but good god never again

---

Donkey Kong Country 1

It's not bad or anything, but its flaws are too glaring when compared to 2 and even 3 to some extent.

---

lost kingdoms

sorry gmun : (

---

Final Fantasy IX

Idk why I ever liked it but I remember I did. I fell asleep playing it though which should been a sign

---

Oh I got another

I'm glad people are coming around on games I've been saying were bad all along...!

---

Disgaea. Just don't have the patience to relearn all the concepts and features. Not to mention all the grinding. I'd love to get back into the series one day, though.

Kirby's adventure.

Its the first game I ever 100%'d and started off my want to do so

but MAN it took it's toll on me. I went TOO far in. I love Kirby but If I see the NES game or hear the sound effects or music, it makes me cringe. I just can't stand it anymore, I burned out on it and burned to a crisp

LTTP is the same way. I just played it way too much. There weren't very many open ended games on the SNES and it felt like you could do anything. I couldn't put it down. but ehhh, too much

Ironically, OoT is one of my fav games of all time, despite it aging worse than LttP

until recently

my playthrough of OoT 3d was just boring to me. I had to do something extremely radical to spice it up (Beat the Spirit Temple second. Which meant traversing the desert without the lens of truth)

I've never tried Master Quest, maybe thats the ticket

but those are what I thought of when I saw this topic


---

Kingdom Hearts.

Although, to be fair, I was never a big fan in the first place. I actively dislike it now tho.

---

Donkey Konga

Man, that got old quick.

---

Mortal Kombat. I used to be really into violent games as a teen. Now, I don't prefer violent games and rarely play any M rated games.

---

Well, oddly enough, my first thought was...



---

Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped

Not that I don't still enjoy it, but I think it's just too damn cluttered for its own good now. Amazing for a kid enamored with all the new kinds of ways to play each level, but now it's obvious those take away from the core platforming, and most of them just aren't very good. Hell, even the core platforming isn't as good as Crash 2 outside of the tomb levels, lots of super forgiving flat ground with easier timing.

---

Knights of the old republic

The core gameplay and interface just aged so poorly

I remember playing that and liking it, but I bet I would change my mind if I played it now.
