The question is: Did you play the game for the first time when it came out? Then you are judging the game through the lens of that time instead of with your current knowledge and expectations.

We all know it was revolutionary back then, but that's not the question. The question is is it still good when compared with modern games?

Put it next to some really good modern games and compare it with them. Obviously graphics are far worse on older games, so I'd ignore that point. But in regards to gameplay and story telling, does it hold up to a modern game? I don't think so.
