First of all I don't put Oblivion and Heavy Rain among the rest of the games.I called them great,and they are my favorite games this gen. I play video games since I was 5 , Ι've owned even for a short while almost every console that was released,and it's the first time that I call a generation mediocre.The only other console I can compare to the 7th generation ones is the Mega Drive, only this time there isn't a Super Nintendo around to equalize things... I don't have a problem with anyone enjoying this gen, but I've played more than enough games to have an opinion on the matter,and apart from the visuals the new consoles havent offered me anything new that would make me call a title masterpiece. examples of previous gens: NES -Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3 SNES-FFIV,VI ,Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country 1,2 PS - Castlevania:Symphony of the Night, FFVII, Metal Gear Solid, resident Evil,Silent Hill n64 - Zelda Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, GoldenEye,Lylat Wars PS2 -Resident Evil 4, ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, GTA Vice City,Rez,FF X,XII also on the PC: Half-Life ,Diablo,Starcraft,Baldur's Gate 1,2 , Riven,Monkey Island series now those were a few examples where games took the experience to another level.There are more,those were the first to come in mind.The games of this gen which are considered great: Halo series, GTAIV, Uncharted series and COD:Modern Warfare .... Online Shoot em Ups, a GTA inferior to Vice City and a good game (UC2) which is based on tomb raider.Now compare those to any of the above. Am I the only one who sees there's a huge gap of quality? |
The following are what I would consider the masterpieces of the 7th gen:
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Bioshock
The World Ends With You
Dragon Quest IX
New Super Mario Bros Wii
Little Big Planet
Metroid Prime 3
Advance Wars Dual Strike
Advance Wars Dark Conflict
Elite Beat Agents
Mario Kart DS
Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Sin and Punishment 2
Super Street Fighter IV
World of Goo
Blazblue
Monster Hunter Tri
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum
Mario & Luigi: BIS
SSB Brawl
Valkyria Chronicles
