dlc,each company biting each other, online passes, faulty consoles........
And we still have the best games!

Loose is right though - this gen is dead. Been dead. Def time for a change. Still a great generation.

You cant even bring a game to go play over at a your boys house, b/c now games have all these damn huge patches that must be downloaded....or it has to install itself to his harddrive.

:huhldup: nah breh....the 16-bit era was the GOAT gaming era.

You had original content, arcade ports, ACTUAL CHEAT CODES, Password Saving) which was much CHEAPER than memory cards, console exclusivity actually MEANT something. Among other things...we will never see that in gaming again...the business model overtook the artistry for the most part.


Gaming has always been about BUSINESS first and foremost, that's what caused the great gaming crash that allowed Nintendo to swoop and sh1t on western developers.

The thing that annoys me most about gamers is their obvious generational ignorance. They don't remember the final fantasy clones or the super mario clones, they can only recount Call of Duty clones because that's what's all the rage right now.

There was never real "artistry" the average game back then was just that a game, the ones that mattered most are the only ones we can recall.

And in 20 years it'll be the same thing looking back on this generation.
People will only talk about the absolutely best titles and ignore the terrible ones because that's what nostalgia does for us, it helps us to forget terrible
sh1t like Aquaman or steel battalion.

And the only reason we have memory cards is because you can't save to a disc which holds tons more data than carts do for far less.

On topic though :
This generation of gaming all in all has been fantastic if you ask me.
There absolute amount variety is completely and utterly STAGGERING.

People call the Wii terrible when it's had several GREAT first party titles, good third party titles and a massive downloadable library of old school classics on top of a regular store that stocks games seen on other consoles.

Xbox Live is fvcking great, anyone who disagrees doesn't know what it's like to sit in a party chat playing L4d Or Halo all weekend with a bunch of your friends setting up matches or going into match making and whipping on randoms.
That doesn't even take into account the Xbox originals, indie arcade (REAL INDY dev on PC, Then debug on your personal Xbox, made with a shoe string budget indy), Big Budget indie games, and of course downloadable full retail titles.

Ps3 has TONS of options.
You can download PS1,PS2 AND Ps3 titles, you can play free MMO's (Free realms and DCU), you can also select from LARGE selection of downloadable titles.

Also the DLC whining is just that WHINING.
There are plenty of stand alone titles this gen that do not have DLC.
With that said DLC can and has been a great addition to gaming.

On top being to download trailers, demo's and pull up information on specific titles from your console
without having to use a PC.

Most of what you said is about right, but the ps3 being $600 and not getting any games til about 2 1/2yrs into its cycle is :snoop:
And that system isn't leading anyting this gen.. travesty after being the leader
And you said you good with DLC :what:
Games are getting SMALLER, not bigger. And then when the DLC comes out, half the people you play against? You can't play with them anymore because they playing the new maps. They even adding new shyt.. putting it on the disc you already bought.. but you gotta pay extra to play it :wtf:

Nah bruh, they gettin us. They was getting us at hello
$60 a game? Why is it cheaper on PC? Because they know console gamers are dumb enough to pay for it
I'd agree with XBL if XBL didn't provide a superior online experience.
I'd rather have it free.. but I'd rather RATHER have it smooth :ahh:

This gen just happened to be more of a refinement of the genres and game styles from last gen...how many games really broke the mold like gta3 shenmue orMario 64 did?

Gears of war maybe? It's just a well polished gen with shiner graphics and online gaming playing a bigger role. Mgs4 was epic but it was just a bigger prettier mgs2 really and I loved it anyway

We are all also getting older growing out of it and have experienced the evolution of gaming to where it's at it's pinnacle. If I was 12 today these would probably be some of the greatest gaming memories of my life the way mgs2 Mario 64 goldeneye no mercy soul caliber shenmue Mario kart etc...were

I'm saying. This DLC map pack shyt splitting online communities is annoying.

Gears had to condense their playlists recently cuz nikkas are so spread out.
