Current Generation Got You Down?

Does anyone else feel a kind of bittersweet happiness about this current generation of consoles? It seems like such a strange generation to be a gamer. The console that's clearly sold more units doesn't seem to be supported as much by developers and core gamers. Their support was given to the two HD consoles of this generation, but since both of those consoles are not the clear victor everyone's been put in an awkward spot. Most have felt it necessary to validate their choice of console by making complete idiots of themselves on this and many other websites. The only good thing that could come from this is more competition supposedly should lead to a better product, which for the most part you see happening. I've only really been involved with gaming for a few generations, but this one seems strange to me.

I've been a gamer for about 4 console generations, and this definitely seems more different than the previous gens.

Yeah, I liked it when you were a kid and review scores didn't matter and you didn't go online to forums to see which console was winning. When I was a kid I just played video games. Nostalgia is kind of a downer.

Dmack796373d ago

Even if the game was viewed as a bad game with terrible scores, i didnt'e seem to care. Somehow I was like immune to that stuff, and I always found a way to enjoy any and every game I played. That was years ago, and now I seem to care more about the review scores. Oh well... :/

Capcom Says Pragmata Sold 1 Million Copies in 2 Days

Capcom is the best developer of all time. Consistent hit over many years .

DivineHand1253h ago

I didn't know it came out last Friday, or I would have bought the game. I will try again for this upcoming weekend.

CrimsonWing693h ago

Im really digging it. It reminds me of games from the PS2 era, not visually or how it plays, but like the spirit of it. If you were around for that golden age of gaming, you’ll get what I mean when you play this.

LucasRuinedChildhood2h ago

Have you tried Kanitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess (also Capcom)? That feels like a PS2-era Capcom game.

The_Hooligan1h ago

Agreed! The art style is amazing in that game. I bought it immediately after I played the demo but haven't started it lol

The next thing I'm mine when I've had my fill of crimson desert. A nice linear action game to contrast the open ended 😗👌

solideagle, maybe the article is wrong but it mentions BG3 as the other.

CrimsonWing693h ago

It’s good, but I’m getting tired of seeing how overrated it’s getting.

andy851h ago

It just wasn't for you in that way i guess. Can't really argue with it when it wins all the awards and it's the highest rating by players of all time

I thought this game was a load of rubbish. Trying too hard to be art(sy) by people who don’t really understand art but want to make it look like they do. Found it obvious and shallow and just not a fun game. Just seemed like every relentless second they were clutching at trying to feed this superior narrative… the irony being that’s kind of what I’m doing now… maybe that’s art imitating art….

Didn't know the Golden Joystick fan votum was considered one of the "major awards"?

I always thought it's "only" the Big Four - VGA, Bafta, GDC and DICE.

Nonetheless, congrats to Clair Obscur!
