Dissapointing Generation...

Umm, news flash, last years gamilng revenue brought in the largest income in history for games (not consoles), and this year is looking better.

I do miss the days though when the NES and SNES were awesome, but this gen so far has impressed me.

The Sega Genesis/ Super Nintendo Era was my best generation. But this gen isn't to far behind.Logan832

Disappointing?! I loved this gen! This gen was freakin' crazy!

Bioshock, Halo 3, MGS4, Gears of War, Oblivion, HL Ep. 2, GoW2 (not Gears, God), Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, TF2, CoD4, GTA4, etc!

And for the innovation people, theres Wii Sports, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, etc!

What do you want?

This gen is good, what don't you like about it TC?

This generation is a lot better than last, imo. I didn't like a lot of games last generation.

- Downloadable content. And to make matters worse: exclusive downloadable content.

- No major selling game system that has it all, like the PS2 was. The Xbox 360 has sold poorly and is barely gaining momentum 3 years after its release.

- No good RPGs, FFXIII is years late.

- No "must have" game like Final Fantasy VII, GTAIII, etc. etc.

- Most of the games are delayed, and not up to standards. Most are sequels.

- Everything is expensive and you get less.

only two games that have been super mega amazing imo are super mario galaxy and mgs4

It gives devs a reason to release a game half-finish or broken, and then use DLC or patching to fix it up later. If it's free then DLC is fine (as long as they also release it to retails or something) but the ones that cost money are horrible.

Yeah but there aren't that many "****cs." And the few there are are always delayed or something up with them. No video game console will come close to the amount of games the PS2 has.

I should've said JRPGs, which this generation has failed at.

Halo 3... sequel... GTA4... sequel... I mean it's really not that hard to take a game, upgrade it a little and release it. Where's the real revolutionary games? Where are the games that make a system worth $400-$600? I enjoyed GTA and Halo last generation on $200 systems, and they were revolutionary then.

This generation is like the last generation except it doesn't have the supporting cast. We get our typical Halo, GTA, Mario, Elder Scrolls.. but no little gems like Shadow of the Colossus, Katamari, Devil May Cry, etc. etc. (new ip wise).

I have to agree with the TC. This gen has seen some pretty good games, but nothing has really wow'd me like last gen. Seeing the graphics/gameplay of games like DMC, Halo and Skies of Arcadia blew me away last gen, but there's been nothing like that this time around, with perhaps the exception of Portal. It's just more of the same with a prettier coat of paint. Considering it's three years into this gen and I've only played one RPG that I consider really great (Mass Effect), yeah, I'm dissapointed.

I'm speaking strictly of consoles here. The PC has actually been rather good for me, as always.

I personally love this generation unlike no other before it. Right now I have a Wii60 combo, and each of the console have a lot of games that I like, and a lot more that I want to get. Then on top of that, there are a lot of great looking games for the DS and PSP. I personally have never been that attracted to the handhelds since the Gameboy, which I have but didn't care for as much as the consoles. But both of those handhelds look great to me, and I really want to try out the great looking games for each of them. And while I'm not as excited about it because of all the multi-plat games, there are some very good looking games on the PS3 that I would like to play, like MGS4 and LBP. And that's not even mentioning the Virtual Console/Wiiware games, Xbox Live Arcade games, and PSN games, as well as the Backwards Compatibility of each of the consoles and DS.

*sigh* I'm probably going to end up skipping next gen so that I can fully appreciate the generation.

I think there is a lot more depth in the top tier of games nowadays. I t makes just one hard to standout. But Gears, Metal Gear, and Mario galaxy all stand out to me.

GTAIV
MGS4
SMG
SSBB
COD4
Halo 3
BioShock
Mass Effect
Gears of War
The Orange Box
Boom Blox
Dead Rising
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
Zack and Wiki
No More Heroes
Tales of Vesperia
Soul Calibur IV

ETC!!!!

What the hell more do you want? This gen has been great.
