Lets be honest here. Games have never been worse. Everything is watered down mass market paint by numbers corporate bullshit. Well, until bloodborne comes out that is.

Perhaps you need to start takiing notice of Independant developers.

Come on OP, even if you dislike Nintendo the Wii U is still an 8th gen console!

Despite the vocal minority that want to critisize, this generation is off to a great start!

-No console has mass hardware problems like 7th generation

-All consoles are reasonably priced

-Huge franchises on Xbox One and PS4 from the start (took a few years for Assassins Creed, Call of Duty etc to become popular on 7th gen)

-Xbox One is outselling Xbox 360

-PS4 outselling PS3

-We have China in the game now

-Games with Gold and PS+ are giving us free games

-Reviewers are putting game companies in their place

-Indies are better this generation (and getting better)

 

We, as gamers, should be very proud of ourselves. We put an end to a lot of bullshit that went on last generation! Sure there are server problems here and there but these companies are getting bashed enough by the public so that will never happen again!




Even though i only have 1 console from this gen with just 2 games (3DS+NSMB2 & MK7) i can say it's been very great so far :P

The non-completeness of Assassin's Creed Unity is MASSIVELY exaggerated. There's also no need for microtrasactions, though the chests that require other stuff are strange (though don't require you to spend any money, just have a phone/tablet). Also aren't hugely necessary

Online issues are going to continue to be issues for everyone, but they do tend to settle down

Nintendo are doing good things, but they're far from perfect. I'd like to play Wind Waker HD, but little else that Nintendo produce, because the don't get the volume of 3rd party games

But they're also necessary because they do do something very different and clearly that's what you want. I am going to get a taste with a new3DS as Sony have seemingly given up.


The Iphone app is 400 MB and the Android App is 500Mb. That's just crazy man. And there's the "join our website" chests.

This Gen so far:

Delayed to 2015

Download this day one patch to fix stability issues!

Choose from one of three DLC packs to buy with your game!

You need to connect to [insert whatever] for the full experience!

*connection error*

Gen 7: Remastered: HD

This better be 1080p or I might as well play on my SNES!!!!!!!

"games journalism"

50% of people whine when there's no diversity, the other 50% whine when there's diversity, everybody loses

Handhelds are amazing as ever. Too bad they are getting screwed from every angle

"Eh, we'll finish this game after it releases."

Within a year, we got Battlefeild 4, Sonic Boom and AC: Unity. And that's just the worst of them, but barely the tip of the iceberg.

I could go on and on.



Enjoy it.
PS5 and XB2 are not happening.

Thankfully the PS4 launched in 2013, because if they launched in 2012 MS would've risked another broken console to get arrive to market around the same time as Sony. MS reaction to Sony's reveal of the PS4 was priceless.

Unusually chipper toasty, and I must say the points you made are all true.
Especially with reviewers putting game devs in their place.

BUT overall I feel this gen has been underwhelming in game quality. Hopefully that changes soon.
