The current one is bad because of them trying to have everything at once with the split in consoles with noticible differences and still forcing people to make games that will run on both.

I love fast paced shooters and last gen was hell for me. When I close my eyes I still remember all the cutscenes, forced slow walking sections, on-rails sections, turret sequences, 2 weapon limit, identical enemy types, constantly waiting for NPCs to open doors for me.........

Monkey Fracas posted:Maybe it's just me but it seems like there were a lot more weird/interesting games around before the 360/PS3/Wii era- games industry becoming more risk-averse during this time period? Indie games have kinda filled in that niche now though. The 360/PS3 was when smaller, cheaper downloadable titles became a thing. It's probably the time when the most weird and interesting games started happening because they no longer had to justify being a $50 retail product. The last gen was probably my favorite ever just for the sheer variety, so many dead or niche genres like adventure games and WRPGs and stealth games not only came back but became some of the biggest and most popular titles and are still going strong and influencing completely different genres. Especially compared to the 8- and 16- bit genres when everything was either a side-scolling platformer/shooter/fighting game or a top-down JRPG/adventure game.

I think the late 2000s + early 2010s were a great generation for consoles in terms of competition and exclusives that anybody would want. While there are unquestionably a lot of great games out there right now, most of the mainstream market has been gobbled up almost entirely by the PS4 and whatever people decide to port from the PS4.

precision posted:What is everyone playing today? I started a new game of P3 Portable last night to get my Persona fix while my wife was using the PS4. Then I woke up today and she was watching an anime about a cute ninja girl helping Nobunaga take over Japan I'm trying to get back into Tales of Zestiria after taking around a month break to play other games - including the fantastic Hollow Knight - but it's so boring. Steam says I've got almost 16 hours in and I still have no idea what the main plot is supposed to be - go around a purify places? - and I've heard so much about this Tales Of combat that's supposedly very action packed but it turned out to be very repetitive. I've heard that it wasn't a very good game before but this was from the anime hating crowd so I decided to try it anyway and while the skits and character interactions haven't put me off - they're actually the best part so far - the entire thing ends up being a waste of time. I'm considering just dumping this and beginning The Witcher 3 which I've bought during the last sale. The only reason I haven't yet is because if I stop now I'm sure I won't ever pick up this game again.

Zestiria isn't that good of a Tales game at all. Try Berseria if you can.

That poo poo was grueling but I loved it. What a great game.

Can't believe they're discontinuing a plug and play system because they sold out of every single box immediately and then had no intentions of making more of them. Nintendo is doomed yet again.

But in good music for games news, a company has remastered the music to the classic Ninja Gaiden games. http://store.bravewave.net/album/ninja-gaiden-the-definitive-soundtrack-vol-1-2 I mean it still sounds like NES music but it's real nice.

Fhew, I was thinking about giving away the NES Classic I scooped on amazon prime a few weeks ago but I forgot about it and now I'm kinda glad my selfish instincts kicked in. More plastics to surround myself with and eventually be entombed with like an Egyptian pharaoh.
