| curl-6 said: Yeah I'm gonna have to strongly disagree with the notion that previous generations were "shitty". You'll never convince me that games like Super Mario World, RE4, Metroid Prime, Donkey Kong Country, Banjo Kazooie, Halo, Doom, and countless others are shitty games just cos graphics technology has advanced since they were made. Hell, even the PS4 itself is now way out of date, but that doesn't mean Uncharted 4 or RE7 or Monster Hunter World aren't great games. |
Maybe the issue is that I just came off abrasive. Obviously I or anyone else can't say that any game is *objectively* shitty, because it is a matter of taste. One might even say they aren't shitty for their time, but they can feel shitty now in comparison. If they were perfect, why don't Nintendo and others make them with the same 8-bit tech any more, or whatever they might have used? Or maybe you just don't like the word "shitty"? Too strong of an expression? Fair enough. Let's say "lackluster" instead, but the point remains.
Maybe there are people who truly don't see any difference, no matter the bits or whatever, but I'm not one of those people. All inventions in human history have a habit of going from rudimentary to more advanced, and games are no exception in that regard.
And like I said, the PS4 era was my personal breaking point. For some subjective reason, for me personally the PS4 was the point that felt like this is enough, it doesn't need to get better than this. PS3 games felt good in their time, but now they feel less so for me because I have experienced something better. These are personal feelings. I might completely change my mind about the PS4 as well as we move forward, that's also possible.
