So what went wrong this generation, was it consumers just did not know what they were buying, reviewers aren't doing a good job, too much people buying into hype (reviewers and consumers alike)? |
I am not sure, but I have about as many GameCube games as i do PS3 and Wii combined.
I think that review scores are too high now days, and it really does not make much sense to have tons of 90%+ rated games that are much less enjoyable than last gen's 75%-85% rated games. (maybe score minus ~20? should be the index to compare current game scores to older game scores)
I think I will still replay the occasional title from this gen, but much less of them compared to NES through PS2/GC games.
A shame really, hope things turn around before the quality of gaming drowns from metrics focused game design (linear, simplified, heavily scripted (its more watching than actual play)).
