Why I'm Disappointed With Next Gen Gaming -

We're in the next generation of gaming, right? At least that's what we're told, but I don't feel like we're in the next generation to be honest with you. New hardware doesn't just offer prettier graphics, smoother performance, and new innovations, but more content, and we have not really seen any of those things come to fruition so far.

That isn't to say the major games released thus far are bad, but they aren't exactly mind blowing or revolutionary either. Now, you may be content with this and say, "It's not a big deal. I don't mind" which is fine, it's your prerogative, but I do care. If I drop over $400 on new hardware, not including new games and subscription based services that are pretty much mandatory, I expect new experiences. If this is the "next generation" of gaming, it should feel like nothing we've ever seen before. That's what it's been like every other console generation, but I honestly don't feel that way anymore. My optimism for this generation has faded with disappointment after disappointment and, to be honest with you, I have some buyers' remorse and I imagine some of you do too.

    Keep in mind that release games do not look like anything the console is capable of handling. Take the ps2 for example. A launch title for that was Madden '01 had graphics that looked good and gameplay that was good. Then we go further into the life and we see Ace Combat 5. AC5 had the best graphics I had ever seen (to this day i still praise how the game looks, feels, and plays). What I'm saying is that it takes a few games for devs to fully see what the console is capable of doing. Watch, in 2 years, we'll see games that have mind blowing visuals, incredible mechanics, and amazing gameplay.
