norwooding low test millennials won't agree but this is the golden age of gaming

Get one of these, and a sixth gen console of choice and you're set for life.

>>712427882 (OP)
It was the last gen that tried to innovate in anything, I agree. You had devs with sixth gen sensibilities now unshackled by PS2 hardware limitations trying their hand at games like Dead Rising or Mass Effect or the original Assassin's Creed, meanwhile with Wii and its emulation you could have access to every previous Nintendo console thanks to its emulation. Eight and Ninth Gen consoles are really just trying and failing at doing PS3 games still, but with shinier graphics and somehow worse gameplay.

>>712428957
I would say they hoped that VR would get more adoption and that it was supposedly then next big thing in gaming
but this didn't happen so here we are stuck rehashing the same ubisoft 2008 tier open world games and linear moviegames from 20 years ago
obviously a kid today would enjoy fortnite or whatever as much as any other game during the 5h/6th/7th gen due to novelty, but if you have been playing video games for at least a couple of years this shit gets old quickly

>>712428957
I never bought a 7th gen console because of how terrible the games looked. Your picture is a great example.

>>712427882 (OP)
I disagree, PS2 era was better

>>712428957
>Last gen they tried to innovate in anything
Xbox was obsolete chinkshit that mostly just undermined the PC market and tried to implement retarded pricing schemes like standardizing 30$ minimum viable product DLC and subscriptions.
Playstation was just copying anything it could see with no regard for quality.
Nintendo was massively undercooked and failed because they didn't allow for free controller remapping, essentially cementing the waggle meme because zero imagination portjobs needed to somehow use motion controls.

All of the innovation you mentioned stops dead by 2007 and just degenerates into multiplat hell of every publisher and studio trying to survive in a market that had substantially less growth potential than predicted.

>>712427882 (OP)
Really? Name its best games then name the best games from the 6th console generation. Go ahead I'll wait.

>>712429807
?????
oblivion/skyrim/FNV
minecraft
terraria
dead space
portal
mirror's edge
mass effect
demon's souls/dark souls

and I can go on and on and on, we are barely scratching the iceberg here because there's also a bunch of sovl in XBL arcade and japanese ps games when they still cared
anon those are generation defining games for many, people are still playing some of that shit 15+ years later instead of new games
you might not like some of the entries but it's just personal preference, that doesn't change the fact that some of those are cult classics

>>712429807
there's tons. let's just mention cod4, gears of war and bioshock and tell me if there's something better in gen 6 in their respective genres. btw I also love gen 6.

The golden age of gaming is between 1997 when developers figured out how to make good 3D games on home consoles, and 2011 when the last games greenlit before the Great Financial Crisis came out and publishers shifted from trying to maximize unit sales to printing money even after a game launched with paid online features like skins and lootboxes

now what? great games yeah, out of what, thousands of titles the ps2 had?
like what are we supposed to compare terraria to dmc and demon's souls to ico? how does it work?
it's only a matter of personal preference
you were eating good regardless if you got a ps2 or an xbox360 as a kid, that's all that counts, both had outstanding memorable titles

need I go on or are you seeing a trend here? as for games like dead space yea it was good I'd argue resident evil 4 was better point is for every game they have there was a better equivalent before not something you can say of a peak

>>712431849
Those are the genres I like playing. You have niches more relevant to you, you could list them like I originally asked or you could keep pouting like a retard.

>>712432253
The "PS2 was the greatest" and "Gamecube was the best Nintendo console" threads tipped me off when they started popping up. It's only going to keep getting worse.

>>712427882 (OP)
the ps3 sucks ass though

>>712432489
>u could list them like I originally asked
and I did?
there weren't any restrictions on genres or """"niches""""
it was just a generic statement, best is purely subjective hence why the usual suspects that most people would consider as the best, neither you or I have to agree with the list of each other

>>712432664
Some gens are clearly worse than others. Like ps1 n64 is pretty objectively bad while liking the snes and genesis is at least understandable.

>>712431551
Gen 7 was rancid dogshit for RPGs, the worst drought of all time. Every great stealth game but one came out in gen 6, if only by virtue of the Dreamcast coming out in 1998. FPS got homogenized in Gen 7 and that alone is enough to never call it the best gen ever. Strategy games were clearly better in previous gens, with the exceptions being SupCom and Civ IV. Brown and bloom was cancer.

>>712433132
I suppose they never really came to consoles, but grand strat got better during that period.

based

>>712428498
This. I would say a PC and a 7th gen console and a DS is just great. 360 preferably.

>>712427882 (OP)
im a norwooding low test millennial and i agree with you

>>712427882 (OP)
People remember the gems but everyone forgets the 900 cover based shooters that were popular at the time or games that shoe horned cover based shooting into them

>>712429204
I was shocked at how great 360 games looked.

>>712429734
PC was just pushing out RTS games around that gen. Nothing innovating or as broad as the 360/PS3 library. Also console games didn't look much different from their PC versions.

>>712432856
Bro niche isn't the keyword here I just said that because you said my taste was too specific. Yes I didn't ask for genre specifications just one generation vs the other. In fact doing it just top versus top makes it all the more easier because there was so much more innovation in the 6th gen and way more games that you could have shit like katamari being a smash hit even though you had fps, adventure and racing games being more popular. And obviously better is subjective whos arguing against that?

>>712432253

It was great but Gen 7 defiantly improved on most games.

>>712433256
Total War was better in Gen 6 than 7. So was Hearts of Iron. CK2 is only barely gen 7. I'm not seeing it.

It was the last gen that wasn't 90% AIDS and cancer, but it introduced the cancer and AIDS that plagues later gens.

>>712434449
and i am playing games from not current year

>>712433562
Same could be said about the PS2.

>>712434261
I think DLC was the only cancer it introduced. Otherwise future gens ignored what made it great and it's why they felt barebones.

>>712433984
you need to go to back to the container

>>712434261
I really feel like it was 50/50 a lot of games and practices from the generation get memory holed but I remember it having problems right out the gate. Not to mention there was a steep decline in the amount of games and variety in general. Most jap studios died, couldn't compete, made few releases (with cut corners) or were slow to catch up.

>>712434959
at least shooters back then were run and gun have fun not some ignorant dudebro hollywood military realism

>>712427882 (OP)
I just sold my jailbroken ps3 for almost the same price I bought for 5 years ago. There is a crazy demand for these consoles but I game only on pc now

>>712427882 (OP)
In my recollection, back then we thought of it as the downfall of gaming - at the start of the 2000s there were shitty simplistic console games of the previous era, and patrician beautiful PC games with complex gameplay and beautiful graphics.

I think back to 2002 and remember how I felt when I saw Battlefield 1942 and MGS2 on the PC side by side. Needless to say, we didn't think we missed out on much with skipping consoles.

Every PC game, like Far Cry, Doom 3 or HL2, Morrowind either didn't receive a port at all or was downgraded to shite on consoles.

Then came the Xbox 360 generation, and suddenly making PC games was 'uneconomical', and going forward, all games were to be multiplat, dedicated servers were gone. Then suddenly every FPS had small maps (small RAM), shit controls (gamepad lol), tiny lobbies (no dedicated servers despite PAID online), blurry textures etc, I could go on.

And there was WoW, and Blizz games in general, which didn't even come out on consoles.

Whole shit was so ass, that out of my gaming friends (basically 80% of my HS mates) most of them didn't even touch a console, it was seen as a novelty at best.

No but its the last gen worth playing. Everything after 2014 is utter dogshit

>>712427882 (OP)
Exclude the xbox360, that piece of shit red-ringed trash doesn’t deserve to be considered in the same league as the PS3 and Wii

>>712427882 (OP)
The peak of gaming is easily from the beginning of the SNES to the end of the 6th gen.

>>712433660
I was shocked by how bad they looked, especially Gears of War, a game that was praised for it's graphics.

>>712434261
Asscreed was dogshit from the first game.
