@NovaSyx
Exactly, each gen has been the same thing. Everyone bitching about how the last gen was better. Maybe we should go back to having the Atari systems, let’s see what those people would say.

I think the problem with this generation is more to do with the gamers themselves, rather than the games.

Yeah, i actually made the comment a long time ago. Remember when every game used to be a platformer? FPS is the big genre right now, so a lot of other genres get neglected. At the same time, you get games like Heavy Rain which brings back adventure point and clicking (in a way) or games like H.A.W.X which bring back flight combat

I think part of the problem is the genres that are currently popular. What genres were used a lot in ‘the pinnacle of gaming’? Platformers, Point and click and from-the-top view action. None of those still exist (platformers are still on Xbox live and services similar and on the DS, though not as real big games). So if you loved those games, there’s hardly anything for you this generation.
