Most old games are terrible by todays standards.

Logged in just to reply.

This does actually apply to most 3D or "realistic" visual games. So most games that try to render humans, real life visuals, or developers that were actually trying to sell their game by its look tend to look very bad.

But that's about it.

The cool thing about older generations is the visuals sucked all around, even for that time. So developers focused on other parts of the game to make great IE optimization, gameplay, sound, story, fun factor etc.

Most old school RPGs are easily replaceable and even tend to show up on today's tablets for perfect handheld gaming.

Platformers (although 3D they are animated) play and look.great for the most part. Few could be exception. But I can easily boot up Jax and Faster (2001) or Mario 64 etc and still have a blast.

Sports games as well have not aged I forgot about those. Sports games look like garbage.

Also.your statement about (if you started gaming this generation) who does that refer to? This generation started in late 2013 (basically 2014) sooo if you are on this site and started then most likely you'd be only 10-12 years old. Most gamers as kids will start playing around 7 or 8. That statement is just ofd. The majority of gamers have been gaming for a while.
