Will Gen 8 Be Remembered as the Worst Ever?

[curl-6]

As somebody who entered the gaming scene in the 4th generation, this on track to be by far the worst I have lived through.

Everything feels like a copy of a copy of a copy. For the most part, either it's the same homogenous AAA mush we've been playing since 2007, or its some wanky indie title that barely deserves to be called a video game.

Then there's the carving up of content that we should be getting upfront with on-disc DLC, season passes, and free to pay mechanics in full priced games, bloated day one patches that still leave games in a buggy and unoptimized state, a stifling lack of quality new IPs, and an overriding sense of sterile, focus-tested cynicism.
