modern VG history = NES onwards I guess. Not Atari ET bullshit >_>

I felt like there was a lot of mediocre experiences in that gen and not of lot of bangers overall

No the PS4 one was boring as fuck, the One was just an inferior duplicate of it and the Wii U sucked ass. Remaster generation, didn't even get a new GTA.

What is the most memorable game from that gen? Fuckin' Fortnite? lmaoo

Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Skyrim beg to differ.

I probably spent as much time with those three games as I did with half of the games I had for the PS2.

You also had Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect, The Last of Us, Dark Souls, the insane popularity of the Wii in general, etc.

GTA V also came out that gen...

Kinda agree. Man, no other generation had as many hardware failures as this one. You could expect to spend over 500 USD on a console that could just stop working.

They went wild with HD compilations of previous gen games also.

Depends on the consoles you had I guess. PS3 kinda struggled a lil bit at the beginning. Also multiplat games ran better on 360.

I feel like that generation was the last one that major publishers still experimented in, even if it was starting to taper off. After that, they started to stick more and more with AAA games.

Was supposed to be a 2007 release, but Sonic's late inclusion caused it to be delayed to 2008.

Call of Duty 2 was a really big deal back then for the 360 launch. That was when COD was starting to become the truly big deal that it eventually became. I loved Condemned but that was a bit more niche.

But then Oblivion, Saints Row and Dead Rising came right in that first year too. 2007 was one of the best years of gaming ever.

If you had a 360 from 2006-2010 and a PS3 from 2010-2013 you had yourself a great generation.

ngl, this kind of seems like a Playstation biased take given that it was the worst sales stint for it. 360 had a bunch of great games and the Wii did have some interesting games too despite the focus on the gimmick and lack of "hardcore" games.

I was born in 92 and that gen was like the defining generation that got EVERYBODY into gaming.

It was still popular prior, especially with halo 2 and a few others, but the wii and 360 really brought in tons and tons of new types of people

No, I'd personally put it over the first 3 and 6th. 8th also, but I didn't play as much.

If you take success and historical significance into account, it's arguably the best genneration. All three consoles and both handhelds all sold huge numbers. No other period even came close.

Only big flaw might be that PS3 and 360 were too similar in terms of library, but is that really a flaw?

I think it was the second best generation, hindered only by the fact many PS3/360 titles tried to punch above their weight, just like the N64/PS1 era--and many games have dreadful performance that's hard to go back to.

The PS2/Xbox/GC era def had some games that ran slow, but many of the AAA games ran fantastic--in the Gamecube's case, some of the best looking games also ran at 60fps. Same with PS2.
