Watch_Dogs, Titanfall and Destiny aren't next-gen games.  They are on last gen.  Name me 3 exclusvie games for our new gen that are as impressive as GoW was for its time.

This time last gen there was no cross-gen blockbusters because cross-gen wasn't possible.  The new systems were that dramatically more powerful.

You mention "size", but that's really irrelivent to the tech.  FFXII was a "large" game, as were the PS2 GTA's.  Exclusive "large" games don't come out early in a gen because they take a lot of time, not tech.  The three "large" games you mentioned are on PS4 and One because they are ports of games that are also on PS360.

But if you want an example of an exclusive "large" game that was available at this time on last gen, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.  Or Bioshock.  And depending on your judgement of the timeframe, we'd be about to get Mass Effect, Halo 3 and Super Mario Galaxy, and Metroid Prime 3 would already be eating up hours in your Wii.

Just to be clear, your whole argument on current gen beong off to a bad start is cause there are still cross platform games now?

If that is the case, I just wanna ask you what or how that affects a person that only owns a current gen console. I can understand that it means there are a lot of people that wouldn't need to make the jump to current gen, but for those that do, does it take away from how they enjoy a game cause someone else can play it on a last gen console?

You realize thats like saying a movie isn't good cause its not only available in HD.

no, it's nothing like that.

The OP stated that the generation is off to an incredible start, unlike last gen, and that Titanfall, Destiny and Watch-Dogs presented all-new experiences never before possible, the kind of thing he only dreamed of years ago.

My point is, the new gen is off to a slow start in terms of amazing new content, and that all of the games he mentioned aren't made possible by the new hardware since they are obviously available on the old hardware.

The OP has been waiting a long time for Destiny... but it was possible on PS360.
