This generation has sucked so far

Agreed.

As someone who started gaming in the 4th gen, no major systems have felt as uninteresting to me as PS4 and Xbone. The exclusives are unappealing, the multiplats I can still get on my Xbox 360, and nothing about them feels new or exciting.
Even Wii U, while much better, lacks the spark that the Wii had.

Where early last gen we had promising new IPs like Gears of War, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, Wii Sports, and Bioshock, now we have overhyped rubbish like Destiny, Watch Dogs, Knack, Titanfall, and Driveclub.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: to me, the 8th gen (so far) signifies the victory of the commercial over the creative, brands over games, flash over substance.

The worst part about it though is that games like Destiny, Watch Dogs, Knack, and Driveclub COULD have been PHENOMENAL games. Titanfall for example had potential to be Microsoft's Gears of War. Watch Dogs to be Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed. Destiny to be Activision's Bioshock, etc. etc. It's just so weird.

I think Titanfall would have been much better if it was published by Microsoft. Wonder why MS refused to publish it? Respawn even offered it to them before EA!

What stopped them from being great games? I can see what happened to Driveclub, but what about the others? Nothing much seemed to have bogged them down from their original vision.
