This is something I see pop up often when people are criticizing older games. I'm not sure what they mean though.
Most of the time it seems just an insult toward a game they didn't like. But when used seriously, I don't get it outside of graphics.
I recently saw someone say this about Okami, yet that game has some of the smoothest movement in any game. The controls are excellent. No big budget titles come close.
My guess is they don't care for game mechanics.
Another is the 'nostalgia goggles' comment, even though I've played all these old games recently like Okami, CL and others, and they're as good as the day I first played them.
