GP: "Throughout our current generation of consoles we've seen a great deal of incredible games arrive. There have been many games worth buying a PS3 or 360 for and overall it's been a great time. Sure, we've seen the prevalence of DLC strengthen and online passes, but this is the way modern gaming will be handled.
It also seems like this is the longest lifespan of a console generation yet, with the 360 first arriving in 2005. We've got a ways to go before new consoles take the reigns but when we do I suspect an unfortunate future for many of our current games."
A new Skyrim Switch 2 update delivers major visual upgrades, surpassing some console settings, but locks the game to 30fps and introduces noticeable input lag.
That's ridiculous, lol. I'm waiting for the guy that says its too cpu-intensive for the Switch 2. This game is old af and has been released like 17 times.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim lead designer Bruce Nesmith explains that the game's bucket stealth was an unintended feature of the game.
Lordbound is finally here.
I've loved this generation, but I will admit it hasn't been a perfect one.
There has definately been some big problems like:
1. Developers releasing incomplete games that require constant patching.
2. Day one DLC.
3. Paying for unlock codes for things already on the disc.
4. The rise of really casual games
5. Over-reliance on online conectivity. Some people just want to play offline on their own.
4th best gen and its only that high because the ds and psp were so good
this is the gen where gaming went completely mainstream. And like an old hipster, I miss the way it was.
This is the lost console generation. Devs are just working out how to implement ideas introduced here for the next.
This generation has really left a bad taste in my mouth because for every one step forward in gaming culture there was three steps back and the breed of gamers and journalists created from these failures are the worst I have ever seen.
I'd be lying if I even said if even liked this era but there are some stuff that made me happy such as the resurgence of my favourite companies (like From Software, SNK and NIS), experiencing new levels of horror (Amnesia) and new communication features on consoles to talk to my friends back at home to name a few.
In all honesty though, for the first time ever I am real nervous on what the next generation will bring because I am at the point where this one may be last depending on the results but looking at the numbers it will not be that tough of a call......
