    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).

      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.
