You didn't miss much. Nintendo was full on waggle so all their "core" games were gimped with inaccurate motion controls. The PS3 had some good games but the system had so little memory that it lagged like a fuck. Trying to navigate the UI was like walking through super glue. Most of its third party games were also ports of 360 titles and were inferior. The 360 had the RROD for years, lacked HDMI until like 2007 and halfway through its run, decided that it wanted to become a casual "entertainment device", focusing on effeminate avatars, Kinect, Kinect and... more Kinect! Over all, it was a mighty step down compared to the glory of the Dreamcast/PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era. This generation has so far, been much better imo. |
I mean, you can make any gen seem bad. Let me take a crack at it.
This gen, Nintendo pretty much bowed out of home console manufacturing, Konami pretty much is a dead horse, EA and Activision have pretty much never been worse in their business practices, Xbox has failed to capitalize on the ground gained in the Xbox 360 era and have pretty much placed themselves in irrelevancy territory, No Nintendo virtual console or backwards compatibility, A paywall for online with Nintendo that will (if I'm not mistaken, please correct if I'm wrong) lock people out of playing online content entirely unless you pay, no microphone in the controller this gen with Nintendo and you must use an app through your phone for chatting, season passes for story are becoming eerily frequent, EVEN IN NINTENDO GAMES!
Lol, honestly, this is the gen we are hoisting on our shoulders and parading around?
*edit* Oh, and while the Switch may have the best handheld control layout, the joycon buttons are comically small and is easily the worst home console controller, unless you wanna shell out $70 for a pro controller.... Yeah, you heard right, $70
