Total:161

I am disgusted by the business practices this generation! We as gamers should stand up to these companies and stop buying their garbage. I am not going to be politically correct like the forums want me to be because we as gamers deserve justice. I am fighting for all of you!

God damn season passes and DLC:

At release Destiny costs well over 120 dollars to have the complete experice. Activision is so god damned greedy they want us to pay for extra dance moves for our characters. Are friends up north in Canada, due to the currency conversion, had to pay almost 170 dollars at release for the whole game. This is not he bungie we know from Halo 3.

StarWars Battlefront costs 90 dollars to have the complete (well not really) experience

Assassins Creed, Call of Duty, Fallout, and just about every other game that came out this generation so far has been trying to take advantage of us. It is disgusting.

Even Nintendo is starting to use DLC in their games!

 

Broken Games:

Fix your goddamn games. Assassins Creed Unity was a disaster. The Witcher 3 (an excelent game and since fixed) was broken at launch. There are many others. Games are too buggy and should not need day one patches. This is garbage! Halo: TMCC online was completely broken at launch.


Remasters:

While I am not totally against them, this generation managed to screw up all the remasters that came out so far.

The Last of Us - Great game though it did not need a remaster and did not add anything new to the table.

Halo TMCC: Totally screwed up the online. Apparently it's okay now.

Wind Waker HD/TPHD remastering games that did not need it. Should have remastered the older Zeldas in HD. Does not generate any interest in the Wii U.

 

Lack of Content in Our Games:

Who decided it would be a good idea not to have campaign modes anymore? StarWars Battlefront was ruined completely. Titanfall was a hit and a miss. Call of Duty no longer has campaign on older systems as a way of maximising profits. I am sure there are more.

 

Graphic Downgrades

Not sure if Devs are outright lying or maybe our consoles we recieved this gen are just really weak. Games almost never look like their E3 showings. E3 is just a big lie! We are bringing it back together folks one game at a time.

 

Episodic Games:

Companies are now deciding to sell us 1/5 of a game and sell us the other 4/5 for more money.

 

How did this start? This stated when companies started to go out of business during the recession. A decrease in competition cause these giant companies to become too powerful. Its gonna end here! EA, Ubisoft and Activision by themselves will destroy gaming as we know it. Not to mention all the others who will follow them when they see their quartely profits. Let me tell you, Indie games are a breath of fresh air. I encourage you all to go out and buy one the suits you.

What can we do? Stop buying these games. If you do buy the games, do not get the DLC! We can cause a major movement online to stop all this stupid cooporate greed. We kicked Microsoft's ass when it came to the Xbox One (now the console is an excelent device). If we can change a entire console we can change the industry!

 

Summary:

No more EA

No more Ubisoft

No more activision

No more DLC

No season pass crap

No episodic games

Don't buy games you know are broken until they've been fixed



Around the Network

One day we'll get the industry we deserve, whether the majority in this community find it to be ethically bad or not ...



I agree the AAA industry is pretty messed up. It's part of the reason why I'm gaming 16-bit more and more these days.



I agree. This generation is terrible for all those reasons you just listed. I'm just glad nintendo doesn't partake in any of that nonsense or else this generation would suck even more than it already does.

 

By the way, you forgot broken games. 



I think I might be the only one having fun this generation :P



Around the Network

Oh, the cries of the poor.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Prices are going a bit out of hand, especially here with the weak currency, but there are still a lot of fun games from this generation...

You are not alone! I'm enjoying it a lot too, but those problems listed are real (for the most part). 



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Yep, shittiest generation I've experienced, and I started with the 4th.

Creatively bankrupt and just so stale and predictable. Years in and it stills feels like gen 7.

Once Wii U's done, I'm returning to retro gaming until the current scene gets a bit less atrocious.



I agree with all of the above and I'm also fairly underwhelmed with the actual consoles. Both X1 and Ps4 feel like incremental improvements. The graphics are better but the experience they offer is essentially a repeat from last gen but with a crappier game library.

The Wii U make be a lot less powerful but at least it provides a gaming experience you can't get on the other 2.

I'm also *REALLY* bored with the big budget FPS games. I have an X1 and it just feels like a FPS delivery box.

And how did controller pricing get so crazy ?    I love my elite controller but there is NO WAY  I would have paid for it (christmas pressie from work was an X1 elite bundle  + an apple watch)

 

And finally (and I'm aware its a niche request) - WHERE ARE THE TENNIS GAMES !! :)
