Half-Life

Simple. Graphical quality and computing power has increased, but not man's natural ability to create. The human working on games today are the same breed of human working on games in the 1990s and 1980s. To make a character in the 80s took an hour and was one person's job. To make a character today requires a team full of people, one person to design the hair, one to three person to design the texture and material, one person to sculpt the face and another to create a mesh with the sculpt, etc. and each of these steps takes a bunch of hours.

Almost every one of those games is average and had a profoundly negative impact on gaming. Long, forced cut scenes, scripted sequences, an emphasis on story and shallow gameplay that only exists to tell a story.
Fallout 2 is also a terrible sequel and didn't understand what made 1 good.

Zoomers will never know what it's like to live in an era where genre-defining games are regularly released every year like it's no big deal.

what you're saying doesn't apply, even remotely, to the majority of the games on that list. it definitely does not apply to:
>Unreal
>Thief
>Ocarina of Time
>Rainbow Six
>Fallout 2
>StarCraft
and probably Baldur's gate but I never played that. so 6 or 7 out of 11 games are NOT movieshit or anything close to it. also Half Life is only movieshit for its first half hour (admittedly the worst time for a game to be movieshit) and then turns into a fairly standard FPS that doesn't get in the player's way anymore. they did the movieshit intro to wow noobs, then delivered the solid shooter everybody else would expect. so while it was a bad precedent it's nowhere near as bad as the late 2000s shooters or any action game from the 2010s.

1998 and 2001 were the best years for gaming, while 2007 is the most overrated year for gaming

When whites and nips ran the industry
Now it’s kikes

Did you even play any of them? Unreal has no story aside from the translator logs which you can skip (there were few short ones in Return to Na Pali expansion), scripted sequences are basically non-existent it also laid basis to the unreal engine which was a breakthrough back then and to this day with countless great titles built on it.

oblivion was '06, shivering isles was '07.

Also
>Banjo Kazooie
>Sonic Adventure
>Crash Bandicoot Warped
>Spyro

came here to mention this. 2004 was fucking off the charts.
