Well, I believe you'll get to a point where you can just enjoy things eventually. I found it also helps to just take a break from games entirely for some time. Not long - like a week or so. But I know that after such breaks I always come back to games with a real passion.
I would but my OCD and bank account feel differently.
Ultimately, video games are about having fun, so you should just play what makes you happy
The funny thing is that I feel the opposite. It takes a lot for new stuff to "grab" me, and I've killed playthroughs of game to check out something else. I'm trying to be better about finishing stuff again before buying new things. As it stands, Persona 5 is my last purchase for a while. I haven't even started that game and I'm already getting tempted to shelve it for something else I'm more in the mood for.
Also, I got so used to not having to manually dodge incoming attacks that aim dying a lot now
Chrono Trigger is one of those games I can come back to once in a while and never get tired of it. It's. Or my favorite of all time, but it's certainly not losing its charm over the years. There's really tons of games I want to replay, but I find that only experiencing new stuff really gives me a chance to get lost in a game world. First the Dragon Quests, now the Witchers. In the past I used to replay much more, so it's weird that it's playing new stuff that makes me feel like a kid again.
I just found it a bit more disappointing than I remember it being. Going through the whole series, it was sad to see all that untapped potential in the first game and then getting to the final chapter and noticing how rushed everything was. Not to mention they dropped the event slot mechanic which was easily the best idea game play-wise in the series. The game just really didn't work as well for me and I used to feel it was the strongest entry. Suikoden V on the other hand, went the opposite direction, I honestly think it may be the best entry in the series. While it can't be objective, it's still interesting to re-experience things again later one to see how age has affected things. I mean Chrono Trigger is still pretty magical to me despite how much I get older, so I can see how nostalgia can be powerful.
What was so bad about it? I also don't think nostalgia is a bad thing - after all, no such thing as an objectively good or bad game, but your fond memories are true to you
I used to do it all the time when my collection was more manageable (i.e. when I was a broke ass high school student) so I tend to always like to play games twice to get a good feel for them. Besides, nostalgia sometimes screws with you, as I learned the hard way with Xenosaga Episode III.
Interesting. I don't think I've ever wanted to go back to a game to re-evaluate it. Usually, when I do come back, it's because I just really wanna play it. I usually just leave the games I liked or didn't behind until I just have a craving or something.
