Compared to last generation where we got tons of new IP's, I'd say that's a step down.
Nigger.

The generation started in 2012 with the release of the wii u or 2013 with the release of the ps4 and xbone. Considering how long it took for the games to come out , I dont see how you can say the generation was anything but disappointing

Not my cup of tea, generation won't be good for me until I get games that scratch my itches from late 90s early 2000s
Deus Ex, Gothic, Unreal Tournament, NFS Porsche Unleashed, Warcraft 3, Diablo 2. Those are the games I look back to, wish we would go back to that era

Not fine.
Not fine at all.
Very bad in fact.

>You can't honestly say this gen was better than last gen
why not?

They aren't. And the one's that are don't do it in the boring far cry shit way, except for zelda, which is probably the least good game on there anyway.

they show that folks that own the industry don't have what it takes to make something new or original anymore.

most western titles are bland. that's undeniable.

wasting resources to rehash the same title in a different coat of paint isn't really a new game: fe, smt, assassin's creed, cod, borderlands, tales of are all run to the ground.

how is Nier not a game

Many types of cancer were born in the last gen

It's boring, slow, open-world western garbage.

my nigga
Path Of Exile, Prey, Quake Champions, FH3, DOOM 2016, Warhammer, etc are good substitute but a pale comparison to what we had during the golden age of PC gaming.

Because you'd be a faggot.

Don’t agree. As long as the gameplay is something we haven’t played before or the story is something we haven’t seen before, it doesn’t matter if it is a sequel or not. Sequel or new game is skin-deep most of the time and there is little difference between the new game and the sequel that the new game could have been.

Can you elaborate as a person that played it. Which mechanics do you mean? Please explain, as a person that clearly has played it, what you did not like about it?
I personally find that a lot of it's mechanics almost remind me of Morrowind era exploration where you are forced to go from point A to point B or use in universe fast travel if need be. Side activities are slow, but they are usually enjoyable and not as shallow as you would expect them to usually be in openworld games, in addition to that there is a large variety of random shit to be found in the overworld so your exploration is actually rewarded sometimes with whole mini-stories.
But I would like to hear your opinion about it.

>Xbox side is 100% PC games
AHAHAHA OHONONONONONONON

you don't want new ip's. otherwise, sony would be praised for making new series instead of constantly rehashing their old ones, while nintendo would be criticized for doing the opposite.
instead, sony gets shit on for not making ape escape 4 or sly cooper 5 yet, and nu-nintendo gets circlejerked for only focusing on mario/zelda/pokemon while neglecting everything else.

Current Gen had more quality games than last gen overall, due to things like the rise of quality indies and Nintendo's Wii U & Switch offerings being better than their Wii offerings in terms of first parties.

Current gen has a worse state of the industry, which dampens the number of good games. However, like 80% of what's wrong with the industry now can be traced to norms started in 7th gen.

Fucking conservatives.

>thats it
OP pls

I didn't want to put more than one game of each franchise. But yeah, both bb and sekiro are great.

The "simulation" aspects destroyed the game for me. Everything felt slow and sluggish. I think Rockstar dropped the ball with GTA 5 and RDR2 compared to last gen. Respect your opinion tho.

Pale comparison does not even describe it, it's like they are at 40% power of what used to be.
The other day I booted up Warcraft 3 to see if it's just the nostalgia...it's not, that game was literally made to be as fun as a fantasy RTS can be, with everything from it's gameplay to art direction and music melding together into a perfect game. Yes it was unbalanced and not meant for pro play properly, but constant need for e-sports is also a shitty zoomer trend.
We had Half Life MP, Quake and Tribes for that shit.

7th gens games were better.

the game is like 40 hours long

i spent more time browsing Yea Forums and doing other shit while my horse did the cinematic travel than i did actually playing the game. atrocious.

what the FUCK happened?

>Horizon
>AC Odyssey
>Metro
L O L

I completely disagree and I actually don't quite understand this opinion. The first thing people usually do in open world games that have some modicum of modability is try and add in survival elements.
RDR 2 actually has them built in with nice animations and small gameplay loops so it's not just "press E to get resource" source of thing.
Maybe I'm just that kind of a gamer, but I enjoy that more and more games adopt simulator aspects, even BOTW to some extent. I think that most people are just not used to those systems and therefor get annoyed by it instead of appreciating the risk/reward systems in place.
Of course this is essentially an argument of Simulation Vs. Arcade feel...and I ultimately believe that simulation is clearly what we all secretly want, because almost universal description of a future perfect game is some hyper VR where you can enter any animu world or whatever world you like and it will feel almost real. Of course I mean simulation, not 100% realism.

Every single one of those games is reddit shit, and you have no balls if you enjoyed them.

The only good games there are Doom, Divinity 2, and Hitman.
AC Odyssey is fucking shit and even putting it anywhere near even RDR2, let alone something like Divinity 2 shows that you have dogshit taste.
Might as well put fucking Destiny 2 there.

that nightjar slash is amazingly timed. almost looks like tas-levels of choreography

rdr2 is a spectacle baby shooter and movie on rails. if it didn't have Rockstar's budget and copious amounts of beautification, it'd be a poor game otherwise. it's enjoyable to play once but doesn't even define game for what it is.

nier has braindead gameplay but the story was quite enjoyable.

the proof is in Yea Forums's attitude. companies that rehash the same old franchises are praised, while companies that give their old series a rest so they can try new things are hated for not being frozen in 1998.
look at all the switch owners who beg for ports of old games 24/7 and don't even want new games. the industry is giving consumers what they want, and what they want is sequels, ports and rehashes.

>can only talk shit about 3 out of 11
good enough for me.

This gen’s been okay. Most of the really really really good games came out in 2017 and at this point it’s basically over. We really got only one great year, otherwise it’s been ports and remakes, generic meh western games, and generally a smaller volume of games than previous generations. Not the worst, not the absolute greatest either. Glad this generation seems to be coming to a close at a reasonable time so technology doesn’t stagnate for an extra 3 years like it did last time.

What exactly is atrocious? The fact that you had to physically travel?
What about Morrowind, if it was released today with a larger terrain size, would you also complain that you have to walk everywhere?
It seems to me that the core of your argument is
>This game takes too much time

>Yea Forums is one person
Ok fag. ISHYGDDT

>rdr2 is a spectacle baby shooter and movie on rails. if it didn't have Rockstar's budget and copious amounts of beautification, it'd be a poor game otherwise. it's enjoyable to play once but doesn't even define game for what it is.
I don't understand your reasoning here. How exactly is it a movie on rails? You could argue that most of the missions are scripted but that has been a thing since GTA SA, if anything there are usually more approaches now than before.
Outside of main missions it is very sandboxy. I can not argue about what you enjoyed or not enjoyed, of course, but you aren't even saying anything of value.
I can understand complaints about relatively weak gunplay for example, that becomes almost trivial at the point where you have high level dead eye and other actually constructive complaints, but shit like
>rdr2 is a spectacle baby shooter and movie on rails.
honestly sounds like you watched a playthrough of it

>movie on rails.
You're thinking of Persona 5.

Alright, majority of Yea Forums or vocal majority, that is irrelevant. There is a big voice supporting this shit. I don't give a fuck about individuals in this case you fucking dumb nigger and cut it with your reddit memes. Does it make you feel better to know that Yea Forums is not one person, just a lot of different people with often times similar opinions? That doesn't change the opinion from being shit, you did not discover some magical secret, fucko.

You didn’t even play these games, did you?

The first half was abysmal, with 2014 widely regarded as one of, if not the worst years in gaming, but the later half brought some great games. I was really hoping VR would go much farther than it did this gen.

Survival elements imply making the game harder. RDR 2 doesn't do that. Cleaning your gun or buying food isn't difficult at all, and money isn't a problem, so it's just a waste of time really.

again, the proof is in the pudding.
the Yea Forums catalog has been overwhelmingly dominated by the fifth installment of the super smash bros. series for the past year.
the best-selling game on switch is a full-price port of the eighth mario kart game.
the best-selling game on ps4 and xbone is the fifth main game in the grand theft auto series.
the highest-grossing game on pc is a mod of the third warcraft game.
as long as consumers continue to overwhelmingly reward sequels, ports and rehashes, the industry will continue to be dominated by sequels, ports and rehashes.

In terms of this gen it's:
2017 > 2019 > 2015 > 2018 > 2013 >>> 2016 >>>>>>> Shit > 2014

Whoooh someone's mad. Take a sippy on some penis and settle down.
>Yea Forums is the consumer market
fuck. off. reddit.

That is a solid argument, so what you are implying is that the survival mechanics are not as impactful because they mainly serve to ENCHANCE your effectiveness instead of preventing your effectiveness from falling and potentially resulting in death.
I have never heard that one before and it is a solid argument, I will need to think about it but I think the key reason why it works for me despite this potential flaw is that the gameplay loops of stuff like hunting is actually fun for me and not just tedium and that there is an added bonus of unique gear and stuff you can grind out.

It was good but AAA and unique IPs were weak

>honestly sounds like you watched a playthrough of it
I played it but i would've saved myself some cash if actually did just do that. I found myself watching more cutscenes, padded dialogue, and walking around than any other game I've played. If by sandboxy, you mean wander on the road for 12 minutes and activate a 3-5 minute event that's already been played several times then yes, it's very sandboxy.
>if anything there are usually more approaches now than before
Not true. Running and taking cover to other vantage points and to get your reticle to magnet better or stalling an event doesn't count as different approaches.
If the gunplay can't even be defended, what else can you even say that can convince me that this is a good game?

I don't disagree.

You do realize that Rockstar is Western Company right?

Decent, respectable opinion. Bloodborne wasn't my thing, so I felt this gen harder than Bloodborne fans, but I recognize it's a good game for people who like that kind of thing. Doesn't change the fact that this gen sucks, but I'm glad at least some people are happy.
