I think this is a bit of a myopic view. There’s a world of difference between the Aron games of 2024 and 2002. We didn’t really nail third person camera controls until Xbox 360/ps3 era, and the multiplayer landscape has changed massively - marvel rivals and hell divers 2 being two great examples of the last 12 months. The indie or AA scene is booming again - that certainly wasn’t true in the ps2 era and early days of steam, something like Balatro being a perfect example again. You’re also forgetting g the vast, vast amounts of absolute shovelware and drivel that came out and was tolerated on those platforms too.
- 1970-01-01 2y agoI think your view is a bit myopic. Take Final Fantasy Online, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, and all of EA Sports as evidence. Those games were best selling for a reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_2_online_games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_2_online_g...
- maccard 2y agoI’m not saying there weren’t great games, far from it.
- anthk 2y agoThe console view it's the miopic one. Mafia, Max Payne, Kane & Lynch... great on PC. Consoles were very subpar.
