Definitely pretty bad compared to SO3. And FFXIII compared to ps2 counterparts. And GTA4 compared to ps2 counterparts. Luckily MGS4 was decent, and Disgaea 3 and 4 were better then Disgaea 2 (Disgaea 1 is the best imo though). There is just something special about those PS2 games idk what it was. Freshness?

The lack of bad design and effort probably. The PS2 counterparts always seem to be better. Although Persona 5 might prove us wrong :P.

I think that goes along with freshness too, since a few of them were new ips or had drastically different gameplay (like Disgaea and GTA 3 respectively). Persona 5 will feel like Disgaea 3 vs Disgaea 2 imo.  I guess that is why I like new ips usually, just a fresh idea, and I get a little sad when those cool ideas fail to sell well.
