I'm dissapointed that the current generation of gamers is the reason games are so easy now. The hardest difficulty in any game these days is not at all challenging. I remember getting my ass kicked in games like Jak II and now I blow through games like Resistance 2 on superhuman in a day. Not to mention all multiplayers feature so many cheap ways to kill peaople all skill has been removed. Getting a 10 kill streak in Resistance:Fall of Man was much harder than a 45 kill streak in MW2. Actually, I recently got a 43 kill streak in MW2 where only 4 of those kills were with guns; the rest from the overpowering air support.
I'm disapointed by my own generation of people, but no. It's not like games are getting stupider("Are you a bad enough dude to save the president") It's just that now that we can play together over the internet over consoles .A PC staple for a while before the previous console generation, of course most console gamers don't have the time or patience to fight with a computer when it decides to have it's time of the once in a blue moon so it's only now that we see them, and many PC gamers (while I tend to stick to single player because I'm a late adopter and have decided that a videogame isn't fun if I have to really, really work to be mediocre in it's multiplayer: Seriously, stay the fuck away from America's Army, I do count myself amongst PC gamers) are just unpleasant nerds with no social lives (I actually do associate with girls, how about that), you know, the people on Team Fortress 2 who put up that picture with the rediculously well endowed anime girl with the headphones, I've seen that a little bit too much in game. Besides, game makers make more multiplayer because there is a greater market for it, not to create a market. It's capitalism, deal with it.
Yes (with most anyway), because they could really try to be more intelligent with their insults.
"You're a fucking ******" is not amusing or intelligent.
Plus many of them have shitty taste.
But I assume being 16 I am part of this generation. Luckily I and a few friends are an exception in my local area.

video games get better each year you only think there bad because you copper them to the nostsic felling you get from the older onces
Define current generation, I'm 33 but i still consider myself "this" generation thank you very much. I have played computergames more or less whole my life and I seem to remeber having this type of conversation now and again. Yes the language, especially among the younger payers, is a bit (sometimes a lot) rougher then I recall myself having, but as with any social media there will always be a serten amount of bad apples (read morons) hanging about. Be it on the XBL or a BBS post. As you might understand I don't have the same amount of time playing these days due to other responsibilitys (work, family you know the sort) but when I do happen to get online I almost always have a good time. Most gamers around this place seems like a sensible bunch 
Yes, very much so. I don't mind they haven't made any new games that suit my taste, or how its increasingly online multiplayer while I prefer to see the person who I am playing with. The part that I hate are the "casual" gamers.
I've always considered myself a casual gamer I usually only play games on the weekends but I can look at a shelf and know most of the titles and what they're like. I hate walking into a game store and having it clogged with a bunch of people who want to buy a game just for the sake of wasting money or to please their little kid. They have no idea what it's about and waste the employee's time with pointless questions (such as a summary for every game on the shelf because they don't know how to read the back of the box, or if it's family friendly for the M on the corner doesn't give a hint) and I have to wait for them to finish so I can pay for the game I want.

I'm disappointed in the sense of that we don't raise our voice more often against anti-gaming politicians and misinformed media. And that the new generation of gamers are totally and utterly doing their best to validate every single one of their points against us.
The current generation of game player seems less willing to expand their horizons. Due to this the game publishers take less risks and we end up with more and more generic games. A player that generally only plays FPSs might never touch RTS or an RPG.
While I have a good idea what kind of games I like and don't like, I am at least willing to give some a chance. I think more people playing games these days should be more open minded.
