Angelo De Bellis from BagoGames writes: Sometimes I wonder how gaming has evolved into what it is today. There is so much that is wrong with it. I guess we have much to be thankful for, so it’s hard to complain about some of the glaring flaws that hold back the industry we love. Surely our 1080p, high frame rate experiences count for something. The medium has certainly progressed in a technological sense. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t much left to ask of the gaming giants, both when it comes to hardware and software progress. While I love the industry, I have more than a few qualms with games and what has been seemingly accepted as modern gaming culture. Because I won’t accept overlooking these issues, here is my ungrateful list of things I hate about the current generation in gaming:
It has been ten years of the franchise and a celebration is planned.
It's been almost 10 years since we first stepped foot in Ubisoft's extraction shooter, The Division and it looks like the developer will celebrate by giving fans a chance to replay the experience in "definitive edition" form.

You should add, waiting forever for games. . delay after delay.
this gen is best atleast imo.
We have JRPG,RPG,FPS,Action adventure...... also VR and its games are coming.
Good article,Modern gaming is great but i have to agree with the author about those things, especially about the part that we are having too many multiplayer games out there, i will also add that fanboys need to go away, they are starting to really grind my gears lately
Definitely agree on open world saturation. That genre is this gens FPS (we were saturated with those last gen).
People like multiplayer. Some only game for multiplayer experiences so why not have multiplayer only games?? Sp centric games still outnumber mp games. No one had a problem with world of war craft being mp only for years but now that we get some interesting AAA games that are mp centric it's a problem. Said it before and I'll say it again, we need diversity.
Don't have a problem with the wii u pad. It works just as well as an ordinary controller and it's comfortable to use.
I don't particularly mind day 1 patches. It can be annoying at times but that's about it. That whole thing comes from making a release more efficient. The devs can keep working on bugs while the game gets put onto disk.
Dlc and season passes I agree with. At the very least we should know what we're getting. Tye only season pass I've ever bought is battlefront and that's because I got that and the game for less than the price of the standard game. Dlc can be an issue if it breaks the game by letting people buy benefits
My TOP 5
1. Season passes, total rip off when games like No Mans Sky provide much more for nothing.
2. Ubisoft, a company that has provided many lackluster games that end up looking worse than they started and require patch after patch.
3. Xbox One Kinect, total waste of resources and is now only used for voice commands.
4. Call Of Duty, the recycling of this franchise and charging full retail and season passes for a game that a small group of talented PC modders could provide for nothing.
5. EA, The cancer of video games that just keeps growing. Cling and hold on to licences knowing full well many other companies are either interested or could do a better job.
