Damn right i do!  The good best games come later but the justification comes at launch.  How are you going to bring up the PS1 era and pretend there was nothing?  The generational leap was at launch.  Remember, it wasn't ME that picked the gen where everything changed and implied there was nothing memorable!!  


You get really pissed off over this "8th gen sucks" argument you know. I picked the ps1 gen because all the games in the "top 10 best of generation" lists came out in 96 or later. You could argue the jump to 3D maintained the "wow factor" until the great games actually came out, sure. But my point here are the GAMES themselves.

Hell, the PS2 had a pretty mediocre launch lineup, and was only selling because it was a dvd player at first. Games also took a little while to appear there. I digress.

Sorry.  Haven't been on here like I used to.  Just a little excited, I guess.  Really, I'm not all that passionate about gaming as I used to be.  In the past, I've owned most other consoles at or near launch.  Even the Vita and 3DS wowed me.  Right now, my Xbox One and PS4 are Netf boxes.....on a TV with built in Netflix!!  And they weren'tcheap.

 

You're talking about quality of games.  to be honest, the Xbox One, PS4, and Wii U all have quality games.  Some consoles before actually launched with some of their best games (ie Halo, Super Mario 64, Soul Calibur) right out of the gate.  The good games are there.  I'm lookng for a good game that justifies the hardware.  Hell, I bought SSX, The Bouncer and Zone of Enders for PS2 during that first slow year just because they looked so good (better than Dreamcast).  I just want to be wowed by my new toys.  That's all.  So far, with the exception of Ryse and Infamous, all of my 8th gen games are available in pretty capable form on last gen hardware (not counting my Wii U stuff).
