So, the title says it all. Also please try to explain your position because it would be a shame to turn this thread into mindless shitposting
For me it has to be that Nintendo made stellar games during the Wii U era. They made a few standout titles that really hit it out of the park, (Splatoon) but man, it was never more dull to be a Nintendo fan. So much of the first party output was a safe retread of the Wii output, except way worse. There was no ambition, no creativity and everything felt limp and lifeless. Some of these games were even unfinished and completely awful. (Star Fox Zero, Mario Party 10, Mario Tennis, Color Splash)
Another one would be that 2008 was a good year for gaming. 2008 for me was the year of overly hyped sequel that ended up disappointing. (MGS4,GTA4,DMC4,Brawl,Burnout Paradise,BK Nuts and Bolts...etc) Anyway compared to 2007 this year was kind of a joke. That was the year that cemented the "This generation won't be as good as the last one" mindset for me.
I also feel that Console life spans should be longer and not shorter. Really development cycles for games have gotten so insanely long for many devs many of them don't even put out more than two games at most during the entire generation. That's crazy and yet despite this you have many people on this forum demanding a generational leap after only five years. LOL. There is no way that a shorter generation could be a good thing in this climate. It's cool to get new hardware but it's just not worth it, if the jump is going to be less and less and less noticeable and the games start being cut off from the generation that they were designed for.
That's it for now.
