Is it just me or does anyone else prefer 5th gen over 6th gen? Not to completely knock 6th gen, it was the 2nd or 3rd best generation of gaming. But 5th gen had more charm & variety.>consoles were distinguishable>most experimental phase of gaming>God-tier PC library>gaming was less mainstream>AAA games weren't a thing>most groundbreaking titles>best FPS games>best CRPGs>best JRPGs>best simsIt had its fair share of downs, but it was the most unique gen of gaming.
>>11519162>>best JRPGsI disagree on this. Loading times and long attack/summon animations and emphasis on long FMVs make me want to avoid these RPGs and prefer ones on previous generations, they're faster, snappier.
>>115191625th gen was the wild west, that's why there was soul galore everywhere. Lot's of inspired people trying to build entire worlds on limited hardware with varying degrees of success. 2D and 3D lived in harmony. 5th and 6th are tied for me but if I had to pick either or I might lean towards 5th.
>>11519162Yeah, the 5th gen was more focused on making fun games rather than the 6th gen's focus on making streamlined, beautiful games. Both gens have good and bad games of course, but gen 5 has many more good games than gen 6 does.

I liked them evenly
>>11519162I prefer fourth gen over bothAlso if you like PS1, Dreamcast has a lot of the same games like Rayman 2 and Tony Hawk

>>11519614“All mogged by… Suikoden V”Come now, the first two Suikodens shit on the PS2 ones.
The ps1 was just superior.However if I could rewrite history I would have it so the ps1 was a little better, like having a z buffer, so it could truly shit all over the inferior alternatives.
>>115191625th gen is probably my favorite in terms of nostalgia, even though I began with the 4th one. Mostly because of what this anon says >>11519206I think 6th gen is overrated as hell. I enjoy some titles but for me the industry was taking a decline in engagement.
