Anyone else burnt-out with gaming until next-gen?

No because I have a PC.
Consoles are only for exclusives and thankfully the vast majority of them perform well even in late gen.

Yup, I hear you and totally agree. Ui is old stale and slow, games have peaked. Just waiting for next gen. I want new hardware, not this streaming junk
Hey, you feel how you feel but I'd say I think you're just not looking in the right places if you think everything looks the same unless your only looking at like AAA COD ripoffs.... Performance issues will probably always be a thing unless you have a godlike pc, and even then if the game isnt well optimized it will have issues. I feel like gaming is more diverse and expanded now than it ever has been. I don't feel like a new gen will help you if you can look at the landscape now and come to that conclusion.
I avoid playing on my consoles much more than I did early in the generation.
I wanted to check out Monster Hunter World and it was on gamepass. So I downloaded it and holy crap, it looks awful and runs just as bad. I did the same thing with Metro Exodus and had the same reaction. I'm glad I didn't get Control on console because that would have ruined my experience with that as well.
It would have been better if the PS5/XB4 were released this fall, at least for me.

Star Wars is getting that way for me. I'm on Pro with the option to prioritise frame rate chosen, but the constant lag, pop-in, and 30 seconds+ freezing to load assets has me thinking that this game and all games from now on are being made with PS5 / Scarlet in mind and we're getting toned down versions.
Considering many of this gen's favourite games (Goose, Outerwilds, Undertale etc etc) aren't super "current gen", I think it bears no difference, maybe you're bogged down because a lot of games are sticking to a known formula and playing Jedi Fallen Order or Tomb Raider has become kinda the same ordeal.
I'm a PC gamer, the whole "next-gen" thing is console gamer nonsense to me.
I still buy consoles and a new gen coming out is not even a great thing for YEARS, even if full backwards compatibility might help a ton here.

Games honestly push production values too far, i don't know how you could look at AAA games and be dissatisfied with the visuals. As far as performance it's dramatically better than it was during the PS3 era where 20-25 FPS was the norm.
Yeah.
It isn't just AAA gaming either. I have smaller games and I still don't want to play much.
I think fatigue for the gen is just setting in.

That sounds like a mindset thing, there's no overall look and feel to a generation unless you're playing a very narrow type of game.
Same. Visuals mean much to me and i get this feeling more with sports than anything else. I'm skipping 2k(unless they do that dollar deal again)for the first time ever. Next gen sounds like sports titles will see the biggest jump since... madden on ps2?
I'm ready for next gen but I'm not burnt on this one like I was toward end of last gen. The mid gen hardware refresh did wonders to make the consoles not perform terribly at late gen
Even if you only play on PC, when next gen arrives graphics quality always increases. Take any 2013 game and compare it with any 2015 one where the developers were finally getting comfortable with making next-gen only games.
Errm no, some of the best games came out late in the consoles gen, I don't think that the leap will be that big tbh.
Nope. Capcom was amazing this year, Shenmue 3 next week, and that demo of Yakuza 7 was exactly up my alley, so importing that in January as well.
I finished Alpha Protocol, released in 2010, last week so no, I'm not tired of current-gen. In fact, they could delay next-gen and stop to release new games until 2023 and I would still be fine.
What do you mean by burn out? How many hours a day do you play? If you play 10+ hours every day of course you will get burned out by something.
Nope. Switch renewed my interest in gaming and the form factor allows me to fit more gaming time in (I can take it with my on lengthy train commutes). I'm really enjoying the sheer variety of games I can choose from and am looking forward to more in 2020.
I'm not tired of them... but I am looking at new games and wondering if I should hold off till next gen, when they'll look much better.
Not that they look bad now, at all.

I thought so. But then Fallen Order came. I don't think I'll ever burnt out of gaming. I just get pickier the older I get.

This is basically where I'm at because of my Xbox One X, and I was the biggest whiner at the end of last gen, absolutely begging for a full generational refresh.
I've never been one to say that current-gen consoles are good enough when we're in the endgame - and I'm still not - but I'm curious how Sony and Microsoft will court me on tech (not next-gen exclusives) into early adopting when I'm finally not desperate-desperate for something new for once.
