nuckles87 said: He's mentioned a few titles like Titanfall and Shadow of Mordor as games this gen that did that, so he's not saying there's a dearth either. There just aren't enough. |
And I'm sure eventually there will be more great games like in all other generations.
nuckles87 said: I'm not defending the quality of the video (though I do think its basic premise is correct: outside of Nintendo this generation has been pretty slow and disappointing so far), just his right to say it without having to design his own game first. |
Funnily enough Nintendo was criticized for the lack of great games in Wii U's early life but eventually the library has become quite good even though the average consumer values strong 3rd party support. What if other console's libraries improve over time as well? You need to take into consideration that Wii U is 1 year older. This is not an attack I'm just interested in hearing your reasoning for why this generation has been disappointing outside of Nintendo. You want ground breaking and genre defiinng titles.. I enjoy my Wii U a lot but fail to see where you find these genre defining titles compared to the other consoles. Could you please elaborate?
