    I play games since the 8-bit era.

    The last time I was amazed by graphics was when playing GTA V on my PS3 around 10 years ago.

    It felt like a next gen game on a last gen console (because it was).

    Everything since then has only seen gradual change it seems.

      Strange how perception works. The last time I was really amazed by graphics was with Unreal. I could admire the castle in the intro for hours.

      The Doom 3 alpha was astonishing as well. But by the time it was released it felt like just another gradual advancement among all the other games.

      Maybe it’s a console vs PC thing where console players would get and incredible leap with each generation whereas PC players saw all the steps to reach the next generation.
