There are plenty of things of this gen that disappointed me.
1 ) The "Streamlining" of games on all platforms and genres (read dumbing down to a homogeneous mass)
2 ) That DLC became what it became, often leaving games incomplete despite the pricetag they initially had.
3 ) Yearly sequals, yeah cashgrab and wearing down an IP faster then you can say "Oh Fu.."
4 ) Unstabile Hardware, no brainer when 2/3 of the consoles suffered from too high failure rates (Nintendo being hte only one who broke that trend).
5 ) Consoles as we know them died. Easy to use, slap in the game and play? Yeah goodbye to that, this gen said hello to all the same issues that PC has, updates, patches, waiting times, the all but removal of local multiplayer.
6 ) How Hype becaue more important then the games themselves. Hype is an odd thing which can be fun, but when it overshadows the games and is created at a corperate level, then I see it as bad.
7 ) Fanboys becomming borderline insane. Granted They have allways existed. But the amount of bull throughout the entire industry was just sickening, normal consumers being a brainless fanboy? fair enough, when the industry is just like the consumers? Then it is a serious problem.
8 ) The over bloated budgets for games, and horrible top management from people who clearly does not know anything about the gaming and consumerbases. Big budget games that no one asked for, the killing OF loved IP's. It is odd to see what they decide we do not want, and how those games get croudfunded on kickstarter faster then you can say "money"
