Gaming should have stayed there
Everything prior to gen 3 is shovelware.Everything after gen 6 is dogshit.Simple as.
honestly gaming would be better today if we still made games for ps2 hardware
Modern VR is neat but yeah consoles should have stopped at gen 6
>>741769759>mangavox odyssey It was more like a tabletop game than a console and all the games were something like variations of pong.
>>741769904Based
>>741769904>"only the games that i played when i was growing up were any good"
>>741769759should of never been cuckfied>>741769972VR is a peripheral though>metadoesn't count
>>741769904Nes games also became shovelware with how many mario and zelda shovelware clones there are out there.
>>741769904fpbp>>741770095why your games failing zoomie? oh wait you dont play those either nvm
>>741770095I also include gens from before I was born. I wasn't around for gens 3, 4 and 5 yet they're no doubt the absolute peak. Gen 6 is what I actually grew up with.
>>741769904The video game crash of 1983 amuses and confuses me. How popular were home consoles really at that time? Arcades were popular but were stuff like the atari 2600 bought by millions of people?
>>741769759What about Amiga? I thought they were popular and a rival to atari before nintendo?
>>741770198>doesn't countDouble nigger
>>741771138sony vr doesn't count either btw
>>741769904trvth nvke
>>741769759I've owned 1 or 2 from each gen.
>>7417699047th gen was peak tho. Take off the nostalgia goggles
I might as well ask here and not create a new thread.Where can I find some comprehensive Gen 5 and Gen 6 ROM libraries? I mean there's something on the Archive but it's hardly complete.
We are so fucked. We are already fucked but we are so fucked. There is a new low to go to. It is so over. It is so fucking over. We are so fucked. We are done. We are finished. We are fucked. We are damned.
>>741769904fpbp
>>741769759Why is Neo Geo never included in these
>>741769759
>>741774134lmao
>>741769759Gaming has stayed there. We still haven't gotten past gen VII sensibilities. We're gen 7.5 at best.
>>741775392What's wrong with N64?
>>741774134I say this as someone whose first console was a 360, 7th gen was kind of ass compared to 6th. There are a lot of cool games that came out then but that's when mainstream stuff became the soulless AssCreed/CoD slop we have today, and low/midrange budget games were getting priced out of the industry.Arguably things haven't changed much since then, so if you don't like where the game industry is now, there's ample reason to think the 7th gen is less than "peak"
>>741769759gen 7 was so dogshitI'll give the wii a pass but my best memories of that were because of backwards compatibility that generation made me go from part time PC gamer to full time PC gamer
>>741775608It would need a library at least three times as large, and fewer issues with frame rate and input lag, to be considered a decent console.The frame rate and input lag in virtually all of the N64's good games are significantly worse than those of the NES.And I'm only considering the ~50 games that can be considered "good", because the rest of the console's library is pure trash.
>>741769759I have more hours on my ps4 than any other console I've ever owned purely due to M2 shottrigger ports. And my first console was the nes.
>>741769759Play some JAAAAAAG
>>741770095>i grew up during the time when video games were objectively their historical best Yes.
>>741775424Is someone forcing you to only play the 10 most popular games on each console? Who gives a crap about this
>>741769904>PS2>Dogshit
>>741778481Why are you so obsessed with that piece of garbage, this is like the absolute worst thing you could have chosen to obsess over
>>741769759my console journey as an unc pushing 40Master Sys>NES>SNES>Ps1>Ps2>PCbasically after the PS2 i never touched a console again
>>741769759The official ranking VI>V>VII>IV>III>II>I
>>741778743because you are a dumb zoomer, you had to be there to see the power of the PS2
>>741775609I feel bad for you if you've been brainwashed by /v/drones into having the most pedestrian ''7th gen bad, ps2 and before good '' take, instead of forming your own opinions on each gen. I grew up with PS1 and PS2 games from my older brother and I loved the 7th gen>but that's when mainstream stuff became the soulless AssCreed/CoD slop we have todayZero substance generalizationI could say ''PS2 is when mainstream stuff became the soulless GTA/FIFA slop we have today''>Arguably things haven't changed much since then, so if you don't like where the game industry is now, there's ample reason to think the 7th gen is less than "peak"Except entire genres like classic hack and slash games are pratically dead while they were plenty during 7th gen, same deal with arcade racing games which are in a sad, dire state compared to the PS360 eraSmaller, shorter open worlds are basically non existent since the PS4, when every open world became a giant 50+ hour long slog in the vein of Witcher 3. RPG elements also wormed their way into every game during this gen even when they didn't belong, just look at nu-GoW and nu-Asscreed, which only accentuated the bloated completion timesThe last two generations also had barely any worthwhile new IP's, while we had so many during 7th gen. Bayonetta, Dragon's Dogma, Dead Space, Mass Effect, Mirror's Edge, Demon's/Dark Souls, so on and so on. Oh, and worst of all, the previous two gens kickstarted the age of endless shitty demakesPS4 and PS5 gens have also been far worse when it comes to monetization. PlayStation forced paid online. Franchises that previously never had MTX, added them, everything from CoD to Asscreed to DMC to MGS to Deus Ex. Live service slop also became the norm. Paying 20 bucks for ridiculous skins became the normSeriously, what are you on about saying things haven't changed, let alone changed for the worse since then
we reached a point where retards think 7th gen was good, i wish gatekeeping actually worked
>>741769759Played once with a Gen 2 console because the older brother of a childhood friend had it.Then I had a NES, then a SNES ,then went PC master race.I went back to console with the XBOX360 because in hose years keeping up with ultrafast hardware forced obsolescence became a chore and most irl friends had it.Agree with OP's statement.
>>741780965but wii was great
>>741780965compared to anything that come after it..sadly it was better
pc-engine/turbograf my beloved
>>741783034unless you are Japanese i doubt you had one growing up
>>741769759No, Gen VII is a completely different animal because half of the console is on a server that is not under your control and can and was shut off.
>>741770296The video game crash of 1983 is the most overly exaggerated events in US history arcades were just as popular as they were before the "crash" consoles and games were still selling as well juat as fast as they were before
>>741769759Gen 5 was the last good console gen and after that it devolved into such a garbage fire that it dragged PC down with it.>>741772603Makes sense, since not even Sony counts it.>>741774134>Invented and popularized every negative trend in gamingMotion controls were the only good thing about 7th gen and those were only good away from the consoles that spawned them, because the developers were all flailing retards.>>7417808407th gen after 2008 is still unfiltered, lowest common denominator slop. A handful of titles that were still in development prior managed to release somewhat untainted, but after that everything was in a steep nosedive that crashed in 2012.
>>741769904Gen 7 has great games
>>741785337>Gen 5 was the last good console genHoly nostalgia goggles man. I can't take you seriously if you dismiss the entire PS2 generation as bad>7th gen after 2008 is still unfiltered, lowest common denominator slopNah, it was great. Also 2008 is such a retarded cutoff, if anything 7th gen peaked between 08 and 2012, 06-07 were kinda meh years>Motion controls were the only good thing about 7th genGod no, what the fuck lol. Motion controls were gimmick garbage and produced zero worthwhile games
>>741774134I was 10 when gen 7 came out and it was mediocre then and aged like shit since. It was mostly grey/brown murky bro shooters filled with QTE's and cutscenes. It's when games started prioritizing micro transactions and day1 DLC, forcing always online shit, forcing account creation, publisher storefronts/launchers, tech gimmicks, and a focus on graphics over gameplay.There's gems in there, don't get me wrong. But that generation should be remembered as the downfall of modern gaming. First Gen to move backwards in quality. All problems with modern games can be traced back to gen 7.
>>741769759>PS2 has over 4200 vidya in its libraryPeak
>>741769904FPBP.You don't hate 7th gen enough.
>>741786575>It was mostly grey/brown murky bro shooters filled with QTE's and cutscenes.Same mindlessly repeated generalization with zero substance as usual, barf. Every time with 7th gen haters>It's when games started prioritizing micro transactions and day1 DLCPS4 is when monetization and MTX really ramped up and became an issue, that was when all kinds of franchises added MTX while they never had them previously>forcing always online shitWhat. I literally can't think of any always-online game from the PS3 era. Once again that became a thing during the PS4 gen with games like The Crew and CoD titles>forcing account creation??You don't need an online account to play singleplayer games on PS3 and 360>and a focus on graphics over gameplay.More slogans with no substance. As if graphics weren't the selling point of games like FF7 back in the day kek
