>>7661Every era of gaming had good and bad games. PS2 is one of the best consoles of all time, it was also a shovelware magnet with an insane amount of shit games. PC has had the full spectrum of great games to completely broken unfinished brick your PC games. Even in the rotten state of the current games industry, there are still masterpieces being made. It's arbitrary to say games were shit after X date, it doesn't even make any sense

6th gen was the biggest leap in terms of visuals, but 7th gen is where the games matured with the graphics.

>>7668Honestly, PS1 is way better than PS2.
PS2 has some bangers (DMC, MGS3), but those games do a lot of heavy lifting for the library.
A lot of games people rave about on PS2, I actually don't care for that much.
Ico, and SotC, boring, don't give a shit.
Silent Hill 2, far too annoying with the level design where corridors all look the same.
Okami, beautiful, but it's like the worst of all bad Zelda design trends.
Zone of the Enders 2, actually just bad. Super shallow combat system that you can't really do anything with other than mash.

>>7669I think 7th gen graphics have maybe aged the worst out of anything.
Not only do you have Unreal 3 all over the place, with it's texture pop-in issues, you have that awful design trend of making everything brown as fuck.
Characters often look rubbery and shiny, and hair looks bad, which was actually less of an issue in previous gens.

>>7645Xbox 360 was such a piece of shit that they had to extend the warranty by several years which still wasn't enough.

>>7645Chadwarden was unintentionally a devoted gamer back then and his satirical video is a whiplash on how everything went downhill:
>Halo is so fucking gay and lame that only appeals to the sportjocks kind<They almost committed suicide when the White House started doing ai photoshops with Dup as Master Quiff>Soyniggers no matter how hard they try, they'll never have a good reason on why Playstation is the better alternative<There's a Warioware microgame where you have to shove a controller up your ass No.15297
>>15253>it was alright for what it wasIt was certainly better compared to the desert of today. It was just a better time in general anyway. Remembering Star Wars Kinect
>>7645 (OP) the 7th gen was the last to have an abundance of shitty shovelware games that lended themselves to making funny reviews of on YouTube. Companies just stopped making those in the 8th gen.
>>15275Halo always was garbage. Every now and then I get recommended a stupid video about 'the decline and fall of the Halo series' as if it wasn't the reviled Call of Duty of its day. It's actually way worse because nobody pretends the older CoD games are some legendary masterpieces transcending their status as simple deathmatch shooters. CoD 'nostalgia' videos are just shorts of some guy obliterating noobs and nuking the map. Way more respectable.
