Why is the 6th gen consoles so loved? I could understand if you are a boomer and have memories of playing SOCOM, Phantasy Star Online, Halo 2 etc. first time online on a console, but why would someone else think so highly of these? If we go by nostalgia then PS1 would be my favorite console generation, but it isn't.

ps1 to ps2 was an incredible jump in technology
Lucas Kelly
Will there ever be a jump like it again?
Anthony Lewis
Atari to NES, retarded zoomers.

Because people who grew up with it are in their 20s now. It was a noticeable step down from the previous generation. The best generation will always be the fourth.
Connor Garcia
i grew up 4th generation. i try emulating some games, but they're really boring. contra hard corp is the only one i still enjoy.

Check out Gunstar Heroes and Alien Soldier.

>literal tech demos that have objectively inferior gameplay and technology are somehow the best generation
nostalgiafagging on a new level
Elijah Murphy
They had good games.
Blake Howard
6th generation was the start of gaming becoming too casualized and too story focused. It wouldn't get truly shitty until the generation after it but the corruption was starting.

Who gives a shit about the online. I care about kinopieces like jak, sly, ratchet, ffx, kh, shenmue, sonic adventure, pikmin, metroid prime, crimson skies and ninja gaiden.
Best gen

I loved the Dreamcast because I could use the internet with it and I didn't have a PC at the time. Although it had some serious internet limitations, but when you don't know any other it's almost impossible to complain.
Grayson King
I'm in my 30s, though. 4-6th gen was all god tier.
Cameron Walker
5th gen was trash
>load times
>bad controllers
>poorly aging low poly 3d

Aaron Thomas

Christopher Sanders

Pick one.

Last gen with SOUL, first gen with 3D graphics that don't make zoomers eek. It satisfies everyone
Brandon Davis
at least it had soul
Jacob Morgan
Why would anyone want to satisfy zoomers?
Thomas Wright
the fourth generation was the best generation. Miss reading gaming mags back then.
Eli Miller
It was the last console generation with soul before everything went to shit
Juan Thompson
I was looking at some old Playboy recently and it had PS1 advertisements. Really neat looking at them.
Jack Harris
No
Justin Powell
Which Atari because the jump from the 7800 to the nes isn't that extreme
Jordan Anderson
the games
Lincoln Davis
>was looking at some old Playboy recently and it had PS1 advertisements
Were they the usual ads or did they make special ones for the occasion?
Logan Phillips
The usual ads. It had one with prototype Resident Evil in it.
Oliver Cruz
must've been crushing to come as a dreamcast fan when they're showing JSRF and VF4 for other consoles
Matthew Powell
old video game marketing was psychotic
Levi Baker
>everyone was 20 years younger
>last generation before predatory business jewing practices
>easy trading of games, easy cheap piracy, put the disc in and play
>massive libraries of great games with developers having freedom to try out extreme bizzare new things
>3d became ripe and many of the flaws of n64 and PS gen were history
