Gaming - 7th gen vs 8th gen - View Post

Gen 8 was such a disaster to me that I ended up selling the only system ( Ps4) I had bought after having it for a very short period. I bought a ps4 bundled with the Uncharted collection, which I really like, in anticipation for Uncharted 4, but oh boy was I disappointed! Uncharted 4 was a big let down. Terrible game! The only Sony game I wanted to play was God of War but, by the time it came out my ps4 was already sold.

Then Nintendo. Oh boy The WiiU was just a mess. Weird hardware and underwhelming software.

Microsoft was just non-existent to me.


Gen 7 on the other hand was kind of a golden age of gaming for me. The Wii was simply phenomenal. Wii sports is one of the most compelling softwares I have ever seen. Then Nintendo brought back my favorite video game series of all time, after a long, long wait, in great style: 2D Mario. I love NSMB Wii.

The ps3 had a really rough start but, in my opinion Sony more than made up for it with an amazing software output. I mean Naughty Dog put out 3 uncharted games and The Last of Us. I was also first introduced to online gaming. I can’t even remember the countless nights I lost playing CoD 4 Modern Warfare.

I never had a 360, but it had its gems too. Despite the 3 rings of death it was a very good system too, with great software.

So yeah, gen 7 was far, far superior to gen 8 in my opinion.
