What do you think is the best gaming generation?
I would definitely say the 6th Generation of consoles (PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, Dreamcast, PSP, DS, GBA) which lasted from 2000 to 2008
This was the era when budget, graphics, and creativity reached an equilibrium. You could make a amazing game with fresh mechanics and good graphics for a few million dollars. Games like Tokyo Extreme Racer, Star Wars Battlefront, Devil May Cry, God of War, Pacman World 2, Every FF game that generation, Persona 4, and a ton of other games are good examples of this The amount of "underrated" or unknown games from this generation is probably the highest I've seen of any gaming generation. I've been playing games from this generation since when I could hold a controller and I'm still finding great games I've never heard of or rediscovering games I played a long time ago Tokyo Extreme Racer S.L.A.I (Steel Lancer Arena International) State of Emergency Manhunt Etc. Among other reasons but I don't want to make this too long. What is your favorite gaming generation?

Re: What do you think is the best gaming generation?
SAME. I used to LOVE my PS3, but the disc drive broke back in 2017 while I was playing COD Advanced Warfare. I still use it as a makeshift PS2
As for my Wii I still play it religiously I grew up on this gen along with the 6th gen so I hold both generations in special places in my heart Worst part about this gen is that most modern gaming trends that people hate now started near the end of this generation

Re: What do you think is the best gaming generation?
the best gaming generation started immediately after the gaming crash of '83-'85 and we are still in that generation
otherwise insert arbitrary gen console here that was played during childhood and can be looked at fondly thru the lense of nostalgia |

Re: What do you think is the best gaming generation?
Any games that came out from 1985-2013 or so.
After this point games just had problems that I can't ignore but a good game will still grip the hell outta me.

Re: What do you think is the best gaming generation?
I grew up with the Wii and a DSi, so to me the 7th generation is the best. I have a lot of fond memories playing Mario Kart Wii and LEGO Star Wars as a kid. I still have my OG Wii and I still play it sometimes. It has so many great games.
I like the 6th generation a lot too, the GameCube and PS2 have some great rhythm games. DDR Mario Mix and Taiko: Drum Master are pretty fun. Even MC Groovz Dance Craze. (Okay, maybe not that one.)

I am fine with the generational idea because certain trends ended or started during certain console lifespans. Microtransactions lasted from around 2011 to now, the early days where devs didn't know how to work with 3D games ended when the PS2 and DC came along, online play exploded in use around 2005 when the 360 came out, etc. Its the same reason why historians divide history into eras

Re: What do you think is the best gaming generation?
i barely know any games before 5th gen ngl. but for the ones I got to play through, I'd rank them 6 > 5 > 7 > 8. I can't really say much about 9 yet cuz I don't buy many new games nowadays lol
but for me, the late 90's to early 2000's was my favorite era. xbox 360/ps3 days were also great, but games have definitely been losing their spark nowadays with companies feeling comfortable releasing unfinished games cuz they know people will buy them anyway... |

Re: What do you think is the best gaming generation?
OG Xbox/Gamecube/Dreamcast/PS2 generation for sure. There is too many great games to court like Super Mario Sunshine, Halo Combat Evolved. God of War, Sonic Adventure 2 & etc. Plus, This generation also marks the beginning of Online Play becoming the norm for next and future generations to come.

This is facts. I feel like gaming isn't really that fun anymore with how bad a lot of new games coming out are. Even if they're aight they still feel kinda soulless. Like they're lacking something.

Re: What do you think is the best gaming generation?
I'm a 2D fanboy... so I'm tempted to go with either:
- Fifth generation (PSX and Sega Saturn, for gorgeous pixel-art in numerous 2D games) - Fourth generation (Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo) - Indie PC gaming (I guess that's cheating, but there's been a huge renaissance in 2D gaming) Quote:
I get where you're coming from, but I hope you're not including indie gaming in that statement. Indie gaming in the past 10 years easily reaches the heights that were reached in the sixth-gen. Even my favorite shoot-em-ups and rhythm games are indies right now (hint hint) Last edited by MarioNintendo; 01-29-2022 at 10:36 AM.. |

Re: What do you think is the best gaming generation?
Hot damn... Honestly, this past generation will be tough to beat. My heart is more with retro gaming in general, but I think the last 7 years or so have graced us with a bit of everything we could wish for.
