I can't think of anything that this gen does better then the ones before except maybe better technology
This gen is easily the worst, we are living in the dark age of gaming
-no creativity or new ideas, just repetitive games
-broken games
-F2P
-Battle royale
-games take too long to be released
-most games are open world with fetch quests
-most games release unfinished
-Too much remasters and remakes (very few were good like RE2 and Halo MCC)
-no more demos
-big arcade games used to be 10-15$ max on the ps3\x360 but now they are 30-40$
-Lack of good online multiplayer games
-Most online games have microtransactions
-Most online games don't get sequels, they get shitty expansions that makes you bored with it
-Xbox is dead thanks to microsoft and their "pLay EvEryWhEre"
And there is still much more to be mentioned, sometimes the gamers are the ones that ruin a game, not the devs, for an example, Friday the 13th, this games was fucking amazing, it was new, unique and insanely fun, it's one of the most fun online games ever made, but what did the "fans" do ? complain to the devs about every little thing until the devs ruined the game with patches and made it boring.
Another example is the new Avengers game, MCU fans (thank god i'm not one of them) are complaining about the game because the characters don't look like the actors, like What the fuck ? who gives a shit ? instead of focusing on things that makes the game better like i don't know, maybe the damn gameplay ? they focused on the most basic shit, same thing happened with BFV and their "HiStoRicalLy UnAccUraTe".
This gen was doomed from the beginning, i hope things change next gen (i doubt it)
