I truly don't know how to explain this to anyone who wasn't around then.

Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

It’s so hard to go back. Possibly impossible, to remember what it was like to see those things from that point in history.
It's still happening, there's just so much of it now we're more aware of what the improvements actually are on a technical level, that we've come to expect it even before release of the lastest thing. And it's mostly disappointing now because we're chasing that same high.
The changes are more incremental now too. It's slightly better textures here, better lighting there, maybe a studio puts extra effort into motion nature and animations. But it's not leaps and bounds better every generation anymore like it used to be.
There was that video going around a couple days ago comparing Arkham Knight to Suicide Squad and that's a great example of graphics not getting noticeably better if a studio doesn't really try for it.
But I'll bet games that start coming out with the latest Unreal Engine, like Senua's Saga, are going to give some of that feeling of amazement again.
