But there are games that have the same problems today, they just look better because they have higher resolution assets but as still riddled with bugs and control issues.

Better by which objective metric? Amount of content? Total size of game code and data? Got to disagree with you otherwise.

I'd argue that is true of any generation, a few games are must plays and endure as such, then there are many that are just okay even at the time and then a bunch of crap it's hardly worth playing.
