I don't think it's necessarily nostalgia; there are multiple factors in favour of gen 7; shorter dev times meaning games came out more often and we got whole trilogies like Mass Effect, Uncharted, Bioshock, and Gears (4 games for the last even) in the span of a single generation, less microtransactions, pay-to-win, and other shady practises, arguably more innovation and fresh new ideas, etc.

other then bioshock do those games have actual good gameplay and combat by today standards i would say no. He's right it's nostalgia more then anything unless you are type of game that just plays for graphics and story mode. 

It's not nostalgia for me; I still play 7th gen games now and then and in terms of the core gameplay I feel most 7th gen games hold up. The visuals have aged, but as a retro gamer that doesn't bother me. To me, something like Mario Galaxy, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Xenoblade Chronicles, or Dead Space are still great.
