You're thoughts on the 8th Gen.

[S.Peelman]

Short story: Meh.

Long story: I haven't exactly warmed up to it, and on bad days I'd say the 8th Gen sucks so far and been one of the worst since ever, with only the 3DS, the early days of it at that, doing something memorable. There's just no "vision" this gen. No "new" stuff, nothing to get excited about. It all just feels like "been there, done that". Anyway it's not that there's only bad games, some have been good, a handful even great and on the PC front there's a tiny upswing, but will they stand with the tried classics for all time is the question. This gen's nothing like the 7th, where there were many new ideas to try, and exciting new technologies to witness. I feel like this gen is a continuation of the 7th, and that's boring. In a lot of ways it mirrors my opinion of the 6th gen. I know a lot of people praise the 6th gen, but really I only ever truly liked the Dreamcast (and PC) back then, and like today with the 8th's relation to the 7th, the 6th was just a boring refinement of the 5th.
