6th Gen was indeed more iterative and streamlined than previous ones but they still tried to appeal to their main consumer base despite increasingly amounts of normalfags pouring in.
I'd say it was indeed the beginning of the end which peaked in 2007, a year which still had top tier games but started the whole downwards spiral to the current age shit and mediocrity with rare gems we live in today.

You know, now that I think about it, there was that strange era from about 2007 to 2009 where companies created backwards ports or just straight up from scratch games for the PS2 and wii but not the Xbox. I wonder why they didn't just port the ps2 version they were making to the xbox. You had Ghostbusters do it, World at War, Force Unleashed, and all manners of other game studios doing that. What a weird time that was when you could have the exact same or slightly altered experience of the same game with wildly different hardware. Hell, I still sometimes play Final Fronts on my PS2 because that British campaign is the really fucking good.

There's a story about someone from Capcom going on a rant, I think it might've been Shinji Mikami but not sure, regarding the PS2 being a pain in the ass to make games for compared to the Gamecube, at least at the time. It was part of the reason why REmake, RE4, Killer 7 and PN03 were exclusive, at least at first. To what degree it was painful I wouldn't know and considering just how much crap flocked to the system it could've all just been them making up an excuse for taking Nintendo's money.

Because the xbox died much earlier than ps2 and wii, we got something like that for 7th gen consoles towards the end of their eras too, for example the 360 had rise of the tomb raider (a fantastic port), the phantom pain (another great port), shadows of mordor (n64 graphics and silky smooth 15fps), black cocks 3 (shit, unplayable) and forza horizon 2 (a scaled down version of the xbone game with graphics shittier than the first horizon), the ps3 had a few of those like persona 5 which was made for the ps3 and upscaled for the ps4 release, odin sphere leiftrasir and tales of berseria, a game that legitimately runs at 10fps on the ps3 and is capable of killing the gpu of 8+ year old slim ps3s and fat ps3s.

It's a complicated question, but basically it's about a culture of pretentiousness, feeling a need to "level-up" the intellectual design of a scrolling shooter, that a good action game can't possibly simply be about dodging and shooting, that it has to be more for the self-respecting European Man to look at himself in the mirror.

nothing says decently paced like having you sit in unskippable cutscenes while walking retcons talk at you. Or having you drive a boat for 30-45 minutes straight. or having you drive a car after a 30 minute intermission for another 40 minutes after that. Great pacing there. Front-loading all your shitty vehicle sections and breaking it up with a few unskippable cutscenes and a half-baked gimmick horror section.

halo 2 has skippable cutscenes and vehicle sections that aren't an absolute chore. Not to mention they aren't front loaded in the first quarter of the game. It has actual variety in its levels, the vehicles don't suck as well.

Halo 2's soundtrack is completely different from every other bungie halo game, 1 was gregorian chants, 3 was remixes/arranges of the first game, odst was jazz/piano and reach was a mix of all the previous games, H2 however was like 50% rock 50% gregorian chants, hell some tracks like the intro and reclaimer were legitimately gregorian chants with a guy going apeshit with an electric guitar in the background.

Beam rifles are shit tier regardless of the difficulty.
They're shitscan that take no skill, and in Legendary they actually require nothing but pure luck of not getting headshotted

they're never bullet sponges. This isn't HL2 with its antlion guardians. You were using energy on flesh, weren't you?
>you die faster than regular Marines.
Yes, that's the point of Legendary. It tells you before you select it, it's deliberately unfair and not the intended way to play.
>Beam rifles are shit tier regardless of the difficulty.
they're a great weapon unless you have shit aim. two mid-power shots that can equate to a kill provided your timing is good, you're keeping track of the heat, you're all good. More depth than any HL2 weapon there.
>They're shitscan that take no skill
more than any HL2 weapon.
>in Legendary they actually require nothing but pure luck of not getting headshotted
basic awareness of your surroundings helps. Legendary isn't supposed to be fair, I already addressed that way earlier in the thread. If that's your only argument you've gotta work harder.
>in Legendary your shield drains so fast it might as well not be there at all
it kills you instantly in Legendary. At least play the game before talking about it.

Gameplay-wise, I would call Psychonauts a pretty mediocre game carried entirely on its setting, concept, characters and writing. The idea of getting new abilities and powers when you collect shit was really cool, but it's absolutely wasted because all the enemies are just braindead stupid and can be defeated easily. I can't think of a single instance where any of those unlocked moves were very useful.
