Games that define last gen.

Definitely GTA5. A family member got the game and I'm still waiting to play. He beat the whole game with a badly broken controller. I can't play that way, it don't do the game or me justice.

GTA5 was, to me, everything wrong with last gen. 

Terrible characters that are over-the-top violent for almost no reason, mowing down everything in sight. The story was crap, GTA Online was forced in and broken as hell, and it was filled with shitty pay-to-win aspects. It resonated the love-fest for shooters last generation. And this is coming from someone who loved GTA4, at least that game had a realistic main character who had reasons for the atrocities he comitted.

Halo 3 defined last gen? How? That work was done with the original Xbox.
