It hasn't been that bad. I'll admit that the creativity has gone down in the past two generations, but there's still a lot of good games from the last generation and more coming down the pipe (I[m looking at you, Spore).Locke wrote:I'm surprised at how many next-gen fanboys there are here.

I cut my teeth on a Colecovision at the age of four, and I have to say that I've probably enjoyed gaming more in the last two generations than I have my entire time with the hobby. There are just as many garbage games, if not more, on the 8-bit and 16-bit systems of old.Locke wrote:I'm surprised at how many next-gen fanboys there are here.

Whether or not modern gaming appeals to you, it's silly to say that the quality has dropped over the years. That's "old man" syndrome for ya.
