I lost faith in gaming during gen 7 when gamers felt so threatened by the Wii's success that they felt they had to segregate gaming into the pointless categories of "casual" and "hardcore."

Poorly managed DLC(note how I don't say all DLC) and the disgusting obsession with 1080p and perfect graphics has changed gaming quite a bit. While I do enjoy nice graphics, seventh gen has already been enough to make me satisfied. We don't need hyperrealistic graphics. 60 fps still isn't focused on. I can manage with 30, but 60 simply makes everything smoother.

I'm losing faith in Online Multiplayer because it seems that 99% of all communities are nothing but toxic dickheads and people who have no idea what they're doing (or simply don't care about what they're doing) while publishers/developers are milking their games' MP more and more while not giving a shit about player feedback.
I love Rocket League, but I just can't play more than 2 games in a row without getting pissed at someone who's so shit that I genuinely think he/she only has 1 hand and it simply ruins the game for me. I'm not trying to say that I'm above average or anything, but there's A LOT of extremely, extremely bad players out there who are simply so bad that they ruin the game for their teammates. And there's a similar reason I just can't play more than 2 matches of Black Ops 3 or Battlefield 4 in a row: people don't give a fuck about the objective of the god damn gamemode they're playing.

No, NOT AT ALL, im enjoying it a LOT, so many games i want coming out this year that the mere thought of "losing faith in gaming" is HILARIOUS to me.

I dunno. I do think we're in a decadent period of gaming but there are still great games made every year, if you know where to look.

I have been disappointed in the movement away from local multiplayer options and the proliferation of DLC, but I've also been buoyed by the success of smaller studios and the variety of genres in the industry today - even if a handful of franchises still dominate headlines and sales charts.

Overall I think this is the weakest generation in 25 years but there is still a lot of fun to be had.

I think the 90s/early 2000s was a more "magical" time for gaming if you want to put it that way, but today there's still good games being made and far more choices for the consumer.

Kind of like how everyone bought watchdogs for the Wii U.

For me though, it's not just that Nintendo have turned to crap, but that Sony and Microsoft aren't offering an appealing alternative. I still can't muster any desire to get a PS4 or an Xbox One, they just don't have anything that excites me.

I'm not sure how to feel. I guess it's 50/50. There are some games on the horizon this year that I have been waiting on the most for this gen and I really hope they deliver. There's a few other games that will come out a few years or maybe a year from now that I'm also really looking forward to. There are lots of great games being made no doubt, but they're all so homogenized that most of them just feel like the same games from last gen. Better artistic design this gen though so that's nice.

Why aren't they appealing then ? 

I've always wanted to know but you never really gave a specific reason ...
