>How strong is nostalgia in video games?
Pretty strong, at least for me.

>Can it overrate a bad game form your childhood THAT much?
A bad game? No.
An average-decent game? Yes.

I don't see a problem with nostalgia bias, however. There's absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying something due to your nostalgia associated with it.

I've enjoyed a lot of retro games many years after they were released, I think people who grew up with retro games may be more open to going back to retro games they never played, but people who grew up in the PS2 and Gamecube generation might not be able to appreciate the older shit simply because they can't retroactively adapt.

why can't nostalgia be a valid metric here? Salty youngfags?

please tell me this isn't a real thing.
I've liked all the Alolan forms so far but that just looks retarded.

There are a number of games I can think of now I loved when I was a kid. I fear playing them again and finding out they were awful.

This. Because if you really like one or two aspects of the game you'd completely ignore it's faults.

Like with me for example, I love Tenchu to this day and the clunky controls don't bother me at all. But I do realize the characters control like tanks.

Depends on the person and how much they idolize their childhood or look to it for comfort.

Nostalgia is mostly terrible.
