Do you guys find 3D games released later in the 5th gen more playable than the ones released earlier?
like a game from 1996 to a game in 1999?

or is the whole gen just unplayable today?

If you really think about it Tenchu had Souls-like combat

Honestly? The developers could have stayed with 2D for another few years and released some great games but instead it became the gimmick of 3D and now we're stuck with controls so bad the games can't be played unless completely remade. There are a few playable N64 games but nothing on the PS1 or Saturn that's 3D.

Replace 3D with FMV and you've pretty much summed up the Mega CD.

Super Mario 64 was a launch title, Superman 64 was released in 1999.

That's what NEC thought when they made the PC-FX. Worked out great, didn't it?

That was a huge disappointment. After the mighty PCE they dropped a total piece of garbage like the PC-FX. Everyone knew it was trash too. NEC was out of the console business a 18 months later.

love early 3d and tomb raider is the best. alone in the dark is as far back as i'll go though, even that is pretty rough with such low framerate

They did, you know. They kept releasing incredible 2d games late into the nineties, e.g. D&D Shadow Over Mystara, on home consoles, e.g. Symphony of the Night, and even into the 2000s, e.g. MvsC2. 5th gen tech brought us the likes of Crash and Spyro, Ocarina of Time, Panzer Dragoon and Tekken 3 etc. etc. etc. We had the best of both worlds and still do.

Depends on game-to-game example. It's almost as if you posted a shit-tier question for no real point other than basking in (You)s
