Why was it so inferior. It's literally just modern gaming aka bad
False. Modern gaming was invented during 7th gen and we've yet to surpass it.
Microsoft entering the console market ruined video games forever
>>12774527Thankfully the Dreamcast died before it could have it's library polluted with modernslop (which is why the Dreamcast was the only 6th gen console allowed before the rule change)
>>12774539This>>12774538The OG Xbox has paid online and paid DLCs
>>12774549OG Xbox was also a literal x86 Intel/Nvidia PC with the Windows kernel running in the backgroundIt doesn't count.
>>12774539spbp
>>12774527compared to the soul era (gen 3/4/5) its shitcompared to literally everything after 6, its gold. its the mid gen. and heavily carried by the kinocube.
>>12774549>The OG Xbox has paid online and paid DLCsIt's okay when the Dreamcast does it.
>>12774539How so? Pretty irrelevant, they didn't even need to as PC was already doing most of that shit anyway.Literally bullshit, evolution always pushed for multiplatform crossing platform and all that, since ever. I'd blame 5th generation more but even then still useless.
Slop gen
>>12774527It really is not, you're an imbecile.It was literally the last pure moment. If you fags absolve 5th generation then you must count 6th as well.
>>127745276th gen was peak. 5th gen was shit with janky controlls, bad cameras and ugly 3d graphics
>>12774527Yamauchi retired.
>>12774527>Why was it so inferior. It's literally just modern gaming aka badAh yes, the famous Shenmue season pass of 1999 and SEGA AM2coins micro transactions
>>12775463>A shitty realistic 3d gameYeah
>>12775463You realize anyone old enough to post here considers modern gaming to be something long before the idea of "doc". If you're not old get off the old people board
6th gen was basically 5th gen 2, with better graphics. Compare to how 4th gen was more or less 3rd gen but with better graphics.7th gen is where things go HD and online connections and features become standard. 8th and 9th gen are just continuations on 7th gen, except brutally stale and inferior, and it's not looking like 10th gen will be any better.>>12774538Pretty much. It was even pretty good for a time, but the global AAA industry has largely just stagnated, doing those same kinds of games but shitty and boring. I can go back to Red Dead Redemption and fucking love it, but looking at Red Dead Redemption 2, I felt nothing, even hollow almost, and there was no draw for me.>>12774539You're comically naive if you think that Nintendo and Sony have not been doing their part there, or that they wouldn't have without Microslop. They were going to fucking go for it as soon as it was technologically feasible, the WiiShop and PSN were both in the works for quite some time.>>12775280Correct.>>12775463The overall trend matters. Sega had the Nomad version of the Genesis, and they also had the Sega Channel service which you could subscribe to for special content, but that doesn't mean they were basically doing the Nintendo Switch 30+ years early, the overall environment was still completely different.

Gaming peaked when the PS2 was around, The idea of Steam taking over PC was considered asinine, when nu-metal was pop culture and when the internet still used the matrix & lotr memes frequently

>>12776315>Everything in 7th gen has basically stayed the same even up to 9th gen That's not true, everything that was bad about 7th gen has gotten much worse, and everything that was actually good about it has faded away.
