Looking back 7th gen kind of sucked and was responsible for everything bad in gaming today, but it was comfy while it was current.
it produced some ok stuff like mirrors edge but everything after that could be deleted from existence and i wouldnt really care
best gen for anime fighting games
>>719368208Especially Demons + Dark Souls. Irreparable damage done by these shitty meme games.
The worst thing 7th gen did was introduce achievement systems. Another banger Micro$hit™ idea.
>>719368564achievements and achievement-esque things existed long before the 360, all M$ did was popularize the concept
>>719368564Achievements are only good when the game has its own system, like Yakuza or Smash / Kirby Air Ride.
>>719368620No.No they didn't.
>>719368131Nah that would be 6th gen
>>719368673yes, yes they did>reddit spacinggo back
>>719368131>Looking back 7th gen kind of sucked and was responsible for everything bad in gaming todayThat's correct, seeing people being nostalgic for 7th gen is genuinely insane.
>>719368723Ok. Show me any other platform where your tasks in multiple games are tallied together into one platform score.
>>719368805Predating the 2005 release of the Xbox 360 of course.Google and Apple introduced the concept later.
>>719368776That's just how nostalgia works, you ignore the bad stuff
7th and 8th gen were glimpses of how shit videogames can be if the west takes the wheel.
>>719368990Gaming would be better if western developers were PC-only and japanese developers were console-only. So many giants got shredded by having to make their games playable on consoles with controllers.
>>719368931Nah, people look at the bad stuff and think it’s the second coming. Or have you not seen the praise for sonic 06 and Metroid other m?
>>719368131>responsible for everything bad in gaming todayThe PS2 and Xbox were responsible for that.
>>719368131It was a decline for sure regardless of what /v/irgins might think. I still put it in much higher regard compared to what we got afterwards though.Also in hindsight that launch PS3 is a damn good deal if you really think about it and if you could be guaranteed yours would not get any ylod issues. Its backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 games. Plus you can play the entire PS3 catalog of games. This is an incredible console for $600 compared to $750 for a PS5 pro that doesn't even give you a fucking disc drive.
>>719368131>dudebro eraAwesome.>Mass Effect 1 and 2Awesome. Shame there was never a third one.
every gen is great. gaming was always good.
>>719368131Looking back, who the fuck cares about plastic boxes. If you tribalistic, dumb fuck, NPC, brand loyalists cared as much about games as you did your plastic fucking boxes and sucking off giant hundred billion dollar companies, we wouldn't be in the mess we are now. fucking idiots.
That generation had amazing games i'm tired of nostalgiafags
