You are looking at gaming through very blatant and thick rose-colored glasses.

I think this generation of gamers are spoiled and shortsighted for the most part, and the internet has given them an overblown sense of the importance of their opinion in the overall scheme of things.. There are more outlets available to get you gaming needs than ever on the consoles and still people are complaining about how terrible EVERYTHING is.I don't know what people were expecting out of this gen, but I can't help but to think that their expectations were completely unrealistic.

As someone else said in this thread, I'm having problems keeping up with everything there are so many good games to play. I'm glad a lot of the holiday releases were pushed back to next year.

Maybe you should give handhelds a try. The DS has lots of interesting games on it. I'm sure you could find some games you'd like on it.

I think the major reason for this nostalgia is that many gamers caught up on past gens after the fact, so they got an NES or SNES with all the great games all at once, and there was no waiting between games, nor do they have to wade through all the junk since others did that for them and made lists of the great games to try. Where in the real world, those great games took years to get out all together, and you don't know the crap from the great right away.

[QUOTE="mitu123"] Best post in this topic yet, I can see what you mean.mitu123

My only complaint this gen is that they can't release games fast enough. The games have been astounding quality, like nothing I've saw from previous gens.reiv

[QUOTE="mitu123"][QUOTE="heretrix"]Thanks. I'm really tired of hearing how awful things are. I'm having a blast playing games this gen and I've been gaming since the early days.There is so much to play and so many ways to access content, how could anybody be dissatisfied?Granted there are things about this gen that I could do without, but I think calling this gen a wash is a bit of an exaggeration.

[QUOTE="reiv"]My only complaint this gen is that they can't release games fast enough. The games have been astounding quality, like nothing I've saw from previous gens. When I think back to me playing arcades in the 70s, I would have freaked out had I known gaming would have advanced the way it has. Gamesplay, story, graphics, everything is just getting better. Previous gens were great for their time and I would never trash talk the older games but it's almost like a nostalgia for flint tools.SpruceCaboose

[QUOTE="dakan45"]lol trying playing on pc..its filled with low budget russian crap.... then you get dissapointed.mo0ksi

Wait my bad...STALKER is Ukranian.

[QUOTE="heretrix"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"] It seems nostalgia can affect many, I do enjoy playing games from past gens and this gen as well. It seems people to expect way too much from games these days, they're just games, if you can look past very, very high expectations, you can like this gen as much as previous gens. Yeah, this gen does have it's flaws, but then again, all gens do.mitu123

[QUOTE="mitu123"]

[QUOTE="heretrix"]EXACTLY. Some of the complaints I've heard about this gen are just baffling.

heretrix

Well yeah I know how long long it takes to make new software. I've worked as a developer for 24 years, but I still reserve the right to want more games, faster lol. That is the selfish part of me coming out heheh.reiv

[QUOTE="mattbbpl"] The only thing that worries me about the hollywood model for gaming is that developers/publishers are raising prices rather than lowering them as the complexity progresses. If they ever truly want to become mainstream, they need mainstream prices. While the market is by no means in a crash and burn situation, it can't continue along it's current path and expect to become mainstream.SpruceCaboose

[QUOTE="mattbbpl"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] Prices should be about $40 higher than they are now, just going on inflation. Games now are cheaper than ever before, by a whole lot, once you factor inflation in. SpruceCaboose

I agree.. aside from a few exclusives like gears and MGS4 and a few multiplats like blazblue I haven't enjoyed my consoles very much, it has reached the point where I am thinking about buying games on them just for buying games on them so I don't feel like I've wasted money.
