Has PlayStation Lost Some of the Excitement It Had During the PS2 Era?

Modern PlayStation consoles offer much more powerful hardware, online features, impressive graphics, and huge digital libraries. But some gamers feel that something about the experience has changed. Games are often bigger and more expensive, and players may spend more time waiting for downloads, updates, or additional content. Of course, nostalgia could also be playing a major role. Maybe the PS2 era really was different—or maybe being younger simply made gaming feel more exciting. Do you think PlayStation has lost some of its old-school excitement, or is nostalgia making the PS2 era seem better than it really was?

For me personally trophies have added excitement of completing the game.

PS2 era excitement had a great influence on all of us. I don't ever think that the modern consoles can replicate that. Back then you just insert the disc, power on console, and start playing instantly. That's when we had raw gameplay.
