Games always, and will always rule. Today’s games are amazing and so we yesterday’s. Tommorow’s the same story.
You can’t compare two completely different generations objectively like that, without having to consider the age of participants, the coding difficulty, the resources that companies had, the resources families had.
And don’t try to compare quantity either, saying there’s more good games back then compared to now. What are you defining as back then, exactly? A specific year? A generation of consoles?
As in generation.
This generation of games sucked. And they will never get any better until people realize fighting the aliens, or being a stealthy ninja, having some super uber mutation powers just aren’t cool anymore.
But hey, games don’t need creativity.
It’s all about graphics amirite?
This generation of games was pretty generic if you ignore the Wii. That’s a big if, though.
