Why some people think that the critics have been harsher this gen?

Is there any way to prove this?

Why nobody takes into consideration that maybe the games have been overhyped more that usual, so disappointments are the norm with bigger games?

Im not saying that it isnt true, but im really curious about what people thinks.

I think it's a combination of the two. Score inflation ran rampant last generation. I think the 8th gen is one big make-up call. But I also think games are simply getting worse. With intense focus on advertising budgets, pre-order numbers, and glossy graphics, publishers are setting consumers and critics up for disappointment.

You mean wake up call?
