Is it old-fashioned? I suppose it's the original "Once Upon a Time..."
What irks me is when the tense and POV do not match the story. When 3rd person and past tense is taken as the default.
I like present tense for stories in which you are not really supposed to know what is going on or have to figure it out but don't get it served up.
Past tense seems to make more sense for structured story arcs and closed-ended stories.
