It's worse because it's the most technically advanced third-person shooter ever made. The fact that every 3D actor could interact with the environment and had their locomotion impacted by the physical reactions when jumping or running or colliding into objects, and bullets were physicalised, it really added a lot of intensity and tension to the shootouts that we simply do not get in ANY newer games.
But as people rightly pointed out here, those spiffy physics systems were attached to a game that not-so-subtly proliferated the "dumpy pathetic straight White male" trope that has become so much more prevalent in modern media.
Most normies now just accept it as "normal", as evident with the popularity of the nu-God of War games.
