It's hard to experience that era at a later date, and that gen is the hardest by far to experience later because 3D was too new at the time. You had to deal with terrible looking graphics, horrible framerates, awful camera, and bad controls. At the time you didn't see it that way, it was all revolutionary and you had a lot of patience for these type of things. |
Agreed, mostly. I questioned whether things were actually improving when we first moved into 3D. In hindsight, I see that gaming was going in the right direction. But, at the time, I thought many of the 3D characters were terrible. I especially disliked Virtua Fighter. But, popular opinion seemed to be that it was amazing.
Anyway, yeah. Many (most?) games of that area basically suck, when played in 2017. But, they were viewed through a much different lens back then.
