6th gen

same..

this was when games were big and had mainstream relevancy but were also very unique from cinema and still producing new genres and modern day classics.

but were also very unique from cinema

All of the mainstream hits from that time were movie slop.

which gen had the best handhelds?

6th

movie games that weren't James Bond were seen as lame cash grabs.

also probably the last gen (maybe along with 7th) where exclusivity actually mattered to xbox so there was some sort of competition

I'm referring to cinematic experiences, like MGS2. More cutscenes and codec calls than gameplay by a significant margin.

all of those games suck, grandpa. get with the times

It felt like the last generation where development didn't take forever. Graphical fidelity got noticeably better in 7th gen, but that was already the point where most studios stopped doing quick sequels or spinoffs using mostly existing framework and assets so there was less experimental games being done.

what is your opinion about 6th generation?

that it's the second greatest generation below the 7th generation

the very idea of console "generations" seems dead now

7th gen best

You can't just say that without evidence.

PSP/DS was peak

Don't need evidence.
It's an instinctual fact known by all.

Actual fantastic time for games. Back when they were still games.

buying a Sony system when you want gameplay over cutscenes

xemu.app/#compatibility

84% playable

Xbox... The console with no JRPGs because... Uh... It's American

This thread makes me want to download a ps2 emulator and play godhand. What's the best ps2 emu and game repo

grab dat PCSX2 my nigga

"""Playable""" means

shit framerate

flickering textures

incorrect texture mapping

random crashes (but don't worry you can beat the game so it's PLAYABLE!!! :DDD)

incorrect particle effect rendering

Kill yourself you retarded nigger

I too liked when my parents bought my video games.
Stop posting asinine shit.

Back when games were fun and made by white passionate developers doing it for the fun of it and not as a product. Nowadays all we've got is live service bullshit with niggers and faggots

But muh indie

Shovelware at best. Even the shittiest Ps2 game had one employee giving it a tinge of soul.

I seriously hope you aren't implying GTA for babies is good, or GTA in general for that matter.

bet

a zoomer, exposed to quality for once in his life, lashes out aggressively in a state of confusion

awww, cute

Ah yes, the last generation where the playstation had games.

based hard corps enjoyer

Someone who thinks a shitty GTA clone is a masterpiece calling anyone else a zoomer, classic.

Never beat this shit.

If your idea of 4th gen is just Sega and Nintendo, you're a genuine contrarian retard.

The game you posted was literally a moment where developers were not making the game for the fun of it at all and purely just to meet obligations and get a title out the door as fast as possible, which is why Jak 3 is half-assed and lacks any real attention to detail that the first two games had.

There's also the fact that Jak II was babies first GTA, after the first game failed to become the next big thing, which itself was copying Mario and Zelda.

OMFG IS THAT WATER NOT PROPERLY TEXTURED??

0/10 UNFUCKING WORKABLE

Guess I'll do my part by complaining on a Taiwanese basket weaving forum

If it means that much to you, mod an original xbox for the cost of a drive, an old flashdrive and $6 of wire.

Would zoomers agree games were just better back then?

Of course they would, the majority of zoomers grew up on sixth gen

Zoomer here
Thanks for the game list
Been looking for more SNES and Genesis games to play
Got any more recommendations?

hard to argue against ds and psp

Got any more recommendations?

Yes.

nope anyone who isnt a toddler and has half a brain knows gen 5 was the real peak

ps1>>>>>>>>>>>ps2

saturn>>>>>>xbox

dreamcast=shit

GC was probably better than 64 but its very close

gen 5 you had three unique consoles with VERY different hardware and strengths, it was maximum sovl. 6th gen was the beginning of modern slop era, and the consoles lost a lot of their uniqueness. it still had some great games, but the writing was on the wall.

Beginning of the end with catering to retards

that was gen 7

01 fag here. I actually just went and bought an original Xbox a few weeks ago, wanting to relive my early gaming days. I’ve collected a decent little collection of games so far but I’m definitely looking for more if yall have any suggestions. As of right now I’m trying to find a copy of knights of the old republic and a copy of back yard wrestling 2. Popping in Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland for the first time in like 15 years might have been the most potent nostalgia I’ve ever experienced.

This isn't some kind of meme "haha my generation is better than yours", it's objective reality

PS2 = Dreamcast > Xbox >>> Gamecube

anything after 7th is bad
for western games outside of outliers like dying light 1 or doom eternal
ps4 era jap games were fun
everything else was slop
i played alot of destiny 1 in that era cus it was that or woke shit lol

there was so much love put into random games
ea actually stood for quality

Every game I try to play on xemu just doesn't work or crashes. I honestly believe that compatibility list is a lie.
Posting this is disengious because you're nitpicking at one of the most popular games on the console. Of course it is going to be playable. Honestly, I'm pro emulation but Xbox emulation just isn't there yet. You can scream and bullshit all you want but it isn't there. It's annoying too because all xboxs are technically broken and a majority of them are either already dead or about to die.

You can play KoToR on anything, don't play it on Xbox. Honestly, if it has a working PC port or in this case a phone port then just play that. Focus on games that you can't play without emulation like the Lord of the Ring games, Blinx or JSRF.

pc was also the best in this era

physical media

mmos at its peak

golden age of piracy

quality free games like infantry and subspace

buy one game, get literal dozens of total conversion mods
