Edited your post so people don't think "OMG WALL O TEXT".inpachi said:I really gotta say i agree.. I grew up in the SNES years.. but i didnt play the SNES see my parents didnt like video games but i did start playing the Dreamcast and the N64 over at my cousins house and less than a year later i got a PS1. So Yes i am disappointed.. There are 0 games in my opinion that truly stand out in this generation.. The only thing it has going for it is improved technology. But they dont use it to its full potential instead they produce piles of crap one after another.
Eventually gamers will unite and stop buying this garbage... Then they will be forced to make games worth buying.. Until then i am not going to give there greedy asses a cent! PIRACY UNTIL THE DAY MY MONEY IS WORTH SPENDING!!! I bought every single one of my PS1 and N64 games.. because i knew they were worth my money.. I just dont have that faith that i used to.. Its sad but when i go to some kind of game store i expect to be disappointed..
The only people that think these games are good are the current generation.. I say this to you current generation pick up a SNES some time try some of the more famous games on it.. Shouldn't take you more than 20 seconds to come to the same conclusions i have.. But im not one sided i do see a lot of potential in this market still i just dont see the talent.. And i have played most modern games.. I actually spent all day yesterday on COD: WAW... so yeah.. the multiplayer games are where its at for this generation..
You just cant expect worth a damn a good puzzle/Adventure/RPG/Whatever else i forgot genres.. Multilayer shooters is where its at.. Oh and the story's are either non exist ant have humongous plot holes or are insanely short..
And for all your ranting about how the past generations were better, you provide no examples to back this up. It sounds like you're basing your entire argument on opinion, and you need to remember that your opinion is not fact. It sounds like you pine for the days when platforming games dominated the market, and your dislike for the common FPS has led to you dismissing the current market as shit. Well I just need to remind you that opinion vary, and many people enjoy FPS games.
Also your last claim seems odd, since there are many games in these genres currently on the market. For example, the RPG Dragon Age was recently released by Bioware, a company praised by gamers for their great single player campaigns and interesting story lines.
Also you pirating video games proves nothing other than that you are greedy. If you truly believed these games suck, you would not touch them. Instead, you pirate them under the flimsy justification that today's games are "shit".
