Is this generation memorable or forgettable to you?

Oh yeah. thats what PC need. AAA mainstream titles. PC is better off without them.

most AA multiplats are doing fantastic job.

Honestly, it's fine if you're pleased with multi plats, but I miss AAA PC exclusives. Part of the reason I don't even bother to upgrade my rig.

Memorable for both good games, and for an unprecedented level of corruption in the AAA industry.

And those two are mutually exclusive.

AAA mainstream trash suited more to consoles.

theres the reason why STALKER is best PC game of all time.

also sure when there is Doom and Doom Eternal. there is Cyberpunk around the corner. its worth upgrading PC.

where are console exclusives? sony has all movie games. microsoft games are all now on PC.

exclusivity died and exclusives are anti consumer.

Okay...

Ghost has the unmitigated gall to be all gung ho hardcore FPS gang, but doesn't play multiplayer. Imagine not playing by far and away the best part of the genre. All scrub talk reasons too.

Gmanlives the FPS expert donot play MP much.

see SP FPS always matter most.

lol

I definitely won't forget this gen, but I will in no way look back on it fondly. All I can say is "good riddance."

Yeah kind of agree... the Switch is what I've been playing most the last couple of years. But I've also played a lot of memorable games on XB1 this gen too.

Overall, it's been a pretty solid gen (not as good as the GC/Xbox/PS2 gen, but probably better than last gen).

LOL at your PC comments and Nintendo consoles don't even fall into traditional console generations. Generations are mainly determined by the power of the hardware. Since Nintendo does not compete on power and they have staggered releases of their hardware, Nintendo just does their own thing. The last time Nintendo was part of the traditional console generations was the Gamecube era.

There were good games, great games and bad games. Seems like a typical gaming experience to me.

Super memorable, despite Nintendo and Microsoft sucking. I got a Saturn Sonic and SoR4, which would be enough on their own, but there's also been Yakuza (0, 6, Kiwami 1, Kiwami 2, Ishin), Persona 5, Nioh, Bloodborne, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Gravity Rush 2, Nier: Automata, and so on.

Perhaps it has not been the most innovative, but I think gameplay overall has improve quite a bit. Most studios have released much better games this gen than last imo. I’ve enjoyed this gen a lot.

I'm going to say both, there were some well made and brilliant games for sure and VR is an exciting new peripheral, but did the generational leap provide a massive step up in gameplay design from the previous generation... I don't think so, not for me at any rate.

It all felt rather iterative rather than revolutionary. I hope things like complex AI, crowd systems and destruction on PS5 and Series X are a big step up. That's my hope anyway.

The Switch has really made this a great Generation for me. PC has also been great. Ps4 and Xbox One.....Not so much.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I miss AAA PC exclusives so much it sucks so bad that we don't have them anymore those where easily the golden years of PC gaming.

why wanted PC to turn into consoles?

AAA mainstream games lol. most of them are crap.

I agree. 2004, waiting for World of Warcraft, Half-Life 2, Unreal Tournament 2004, Rome: Total War, The Sims 2, Counter Strike Source, City of Heroes, Everquest 2, Doom 3... Jesus were some of the best gaming years of my life. I actually made an account that year in these forums and celebrated when WOW won GOTY.

Yea, man I got into PC gaming around 2005 and got deep into Battlefield 2 and joined a clan it was so much fun those are some of the best gaming times I've ever had. MP gaming use to be so much fun until these greedy as publishers ruined it.I also played CS:S too I loved gun game so addictive great times.

speaking of AAA PC Exclusive

Im pretty sure its coming this year. publish by microsoft.

if its not AAA exclusive than i dont think what is.

now what console have worthy exclusive?

lol you answered your own question. I have been gaming on PC since 90s

Meh... remakes don't make much sense to me, and the big hitters were mostly swing and misses for me. When the best online shooter this gen was a CoD game and I have to dig deep to think of a better game than Rocket League... something isn't right. That said, I did enjoy many games and think several were fun. The problem is the vast majority of them have already been done before, and better. Once again, one of the few exceptions is the Modern Warfare reboot which is by far big enough of a re-imagining to not feel like a remake.. almost like a huge change in the crap direction they were heading for so long and bringing things back down to earth a bit. (it's my favorite CoD game ever made... which isn't saying much though.. lol). I remember the days when I laughed at CoD games and put them very low on my shooter lists.. sad to see how things have turned out..

Neverwinter was great, RL, Ark, Atlas, 7 Days.. maybe some card strat games... blegh.. pretty subpar for me for sure. Maybe just 2-3 games I would consider adding to any kind of personal top 100 list.

I truly believe next gen is going to be better for me. People can downplay the loading times all they want, but for console gamers it's going to be a large step forward with the way games are able to perform and with limited downtime.

Memorable. I had some of the best experiences this gen and I don't think I'll be forgetting them anytime soon. I had a blast playing Alien: Isolation, Shadow of War, RE7, Witcher 3, MGS5 etc ,,, plus all the classics I missed from 90s and 2000s. This was an amazing gen for me.

This is one of my favorite things about forums. Different opinions. You would not be you if you did not endlessly bash Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Don't get me wrong I love that about you sakaixx. You feel about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 exactly how I feel about the pathetic (legit 2 out of 10)Final Fantasy 7 remake that everyone acts like they love. Different strokes eh?

A generation of highs and lows but overall a decent gen definitely not great.

It's not revolutionary as the last one! but other than that, it's just as great as the other generations!

I'll certainly remember this gen for some amazing games, mostly PS4 exclusives.
Horizon Zero Dawn was amazing, as was PS$ Spiderman, God of War, TLOU2 etc...

Not bad. Personally enjoyed Xbox 360/PS 3 era more

Very memorable, Bloodborne, God of War, SFV, Shovel Knight, etc etc etc.

Very forgetable. I don't think there are more than 5 games I'm going to remember, which is a shockingly low amount.

Mostly forgettable. I didn't enjoy most of the games people called amazing. Too many 3rd person open world games with very similar formulas for my liking. There were some great games, but I feel like the previous gen had more memorable games for me.

It's one of the reasons I want to get back into pc gaming. I miss good strategy games.

@mojito1988: Did you need to bump a four-month old thread?

Far better than last generation, IMO.

I've had a lot of fun. Although I enjoyed a number of games last generation, only a handful stand out as memorable / more than a passable way to spend the time.
