Forums - Gaming - Are We Taking This Gen For Granted?

reask on 09 March 2009

I mean my 360 is sick at the moment so I am falling back on old PC games to play.

My PC was not built for gaming so I am limited as to what I can play.

But playing games like project ICG, COD1, Nightfire etc has made me realise how good todays games are.

I am not for one minute putting down said games but having been spoiled with my 360 for the last 3 years I am now realising how far this gen has come.

 

Take project ICG for instance sure you get killed a lot but it does not make it a good game imo.

Now lets take Gears as a example I mean the cover system the AI you face the options you have it is just a different world imo.

BTW I just use Gears as a example and in no way am using it as the only one.

I actually think overall this gen has really kicked ass and we should be grateful as gamers it has happened.

Just my take on it.

Your opinions would be appreciated.

I'd say so. We've come a long way, baby.

Glad you agree badge as I really think it has been forgotten how far gaming has come on, at least on PS360 anyway.

When I read this thread I shed a tear.

Group hug for those moved by the games of this generation?



Tease.

hmm...maybe you're really into shooters because if I remember correctly, killzone was basically the only fps on ps2. Thats the only way your post is reasonable because otherwise, the ps2 takes a dump on every current gen game library. You probably just can't remember or were too young to appreciate many games. it's probably just it's age but i doubt any current gen system can best what it offered. Ps1 still has the greatest library ever IMO.

Yes shooters are my preference pristine.

I dont get your comment on KZ been the only fps on ps2.

I was just making a point overall that this gen is actually quite special.

still maybe you disagree on that and that is fair enough.
