Is 4th -> the 5th generation the biggest downgrade in gaming history? What exactly did we gain from god awful voice acting, 40 second load screens, piss poor 12fps on average framerates, hideous and schizophrenic 3d models that look like they're made out of Mega Bloks, and the start of 'AAA' moviegame dogshit with the likes of FF7 which even had a higher budget than any 6th generation video game? I can appluad the PS2 for trying to salvage this shitheap of a generation; playing THPS3 after one of the shitty PS1 games is an immediate upgrade in controls, presentation, performance, gameplay, etc., but the damage was already done. Games changed for the worst here

It was an upgrade. I prefer those 5th gen games, and all the progress made in the medium as a whole.
>>
5th gen was fucking garbage
>>
>>12786579
the same way that 1st gen games were shitty, primitive 2d, 5th gen was shitty, primitive 3d. it wasnt really very good, but it was an important foundational step in order for better games to come later. 5th gen aged like milk, with very few redeeming qualities. it is 100% held up by nostalgia of the novelty and awe at potential that everyone felt.

N64 is the atari 2600 of 3d

Low quality thread by low quality genes.

for low quality consoles (nshitty snore, posx, shaturn)
>>
>>12786579
5th->6th was the biggest downgrade before the modern era.
>>
>>12786579
it was a transitional period, devs weren't going to learn 3d without putting it into practice and delivering jank on the first try. kind of pointless to be angry about things that were unavoidable.
>>
>>12786721
>transitional
sure was lmao

>Mega Drive enjoyers get to upgrade to the Saturn, based as fuck
>Tendie fags get to upgrade to N64, which is somehow even worse than SNES
>PlayStation comes in and rapes everything for the next two decades
It was the biggest upgrade in gaming history and SNES drones have been mad about it ever since.
>>
>>12786781
the fuck are you talking about? SNES tendies went and bought the next jarpiggy console PS1

>>12786819
that’s 100% correct no I’m that isn’t browner than dogshit and nostalgic for street food would prefer the laggy ugly janky ps1 (tranny deadname: psx) Tony hawks
>>
>>12786825
why do you have to be so unpleasant? it's not really funny at all.
>>
>>12786829
why do you have to come in threads and stink them up with your illiterate muttlennial manchild armpit posts? this board was a lot better before those garbage consoles were allowed here
>>
>>12786579
what about 4th to 6th?
>>
This thread sucks
>>12786691
>t. low quality anon
>>
>>12786931
grok: is this true?
>>
>>12786579
Sm64 and OoT look better that their predecessors but you're right FF7 looks like shit compared to FF6
>>
The low quality shitposters are mind broken and are mad as hell.
>>
>>12786986
Trvke, the muttylennial is actually trying to convince people thps1 isn’t boring 8fps janky horse shit
>>
>>12786579
Shit zoomers say.

>SNES tendies went and bought the next jarpiggy console PS1
This would imply that SNES drones actually play JRPGs. They don't, they just have a huge inferiority complex about how much better JRPGs got on the PlayStation and they spend all day seething about them. Nobody gave a fuck about JRPGs before the PlayStation, FF7 popularised the genre and it's golden era began on the PlayStation and ended on the PS2.

Watch out, we got a pair of retards scissoring in public

I just play 5th-gen 2d games like a civilized person
>>
>>12786579
5th gen was great, it just hasn't aged well on the whole. Most of the good games are still good but the generation is right behind the Atari 2600 and the the NES in terms of aging like fucking horse shit.
>>
>>12786579
>What exactly did we gain
Everything. Depth. Camera angles. 360 degree motion. Verticality.
>hideous and schizophrenic 3d models that look like they're made out of Mega Bloks
They looked fucking incredible to everybody at the time.

>>12786579
Bait thread, but 6th->7th is easily the biggest fall from grace in videogame history and undebatably so

>not sucking something off is shitposting
>not deepthroating 5th gen is trolling
what a pathetic admission of butthurt.
>>
Ironic, the retard is actually mindbroken by reality.
>>
6th gen fixed the problems 5th gen had
>>
>>12787397
6th gen sucks. Walking simulators, QTEs, world of warcraft, . 7th gen just continued the trend, but also had Minecraft, Dark/Demon Souls, and some quality (actual retro) games like Mega Man 9 and Shovel Knight, and a variety of good indie games.
>>
5th gen makes mongrels seethe every day. What a fantastic generation it was. History written in my favor.
