In my opinion, no. For me it’s not about time, 360 for the most part plays just like any other present day console. Only difference is that development and marketing budgets went out of control (a trend that was already underway during later seventh generation), and the relentless stream of CoD, Halo and GTA clones stopped (THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT).

I can still remember I think some new grounds stick figure type animated comic, made back when it was Macromedia Flash, not Adobe Flash, and it was mocking the idea of 20 years in the future we would have Call of Duty 16.

… I think if you actually count them numerically we are now beyond 20.

… 24 mainline games, apparently.

When consoles got “accounts” and avatars, that was the death of them. Theyre just subscription dumb terminal spyware now.

GTA clones stopped (THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT).

I mean, open world games are commonplace. It’s like saying “doomclones” stopped. Yeah, they became fpses.

but on the other hand “realistic crime open world games” kinda gta knockoffs were more commonplace back then.

Unfortunately, somehow, gta feels like a gta knockoff. I didn’t even finish V, and the satire just seemed less biting, and late to the punch. Like the jokes it was making had already been made elsewhere, so it felt stale and done before.

  I guess it depends on when you played it. Remember that GTA5 came out in 2013. It was a little more current in its satire 10 years ago.

It has Kinect Star Wars. And… that’s basically it.
