Current generation excluded as not to induce any flame wars.
You should've put up some notice of warning not to attack other people's opinion, instead of excluding current generation from the list.
As i believe this Generation (both parties) has been warranted as being the worst. Ever.
I appoligise for going against what you stated but..
i can't even think how peoples choices could be anything different other than current gens.
...*shrugs*
I've owned both consoles and supported both, and have been frustrated beyond belief on both.
Gone are the good old days of just putting in a game and playing.
Now we're forced to worry about Reliability and has even branched off its own trademark of either RROD or YLOD. And, we're forced to pay (depending of) JUST to play a Multiplayer section when even still having the game not run properly and/or hacked etc.
We're forced to install some games by how it was made and/or take the workload off the disc drive aswell as using up hdd space which can in return dictate what to store (download, updates, contect, etc) and when to play.
And, of course Patches (especially Day 1 FFS!!), We're forced to put up with lazy devs where they're more concerned in releasing an unfinished product than delay and make sure games run at working/acceptable standard (ie: Online, SP, Codes, etc).
And of course worring about Sercurity. Passwords, Codes, Hacking....."oh my......"
etc....
The only thing i'll give this Gen credit for is "but, the Graphics...."
I've NEVER had any problem and worries with older consoles minus maybe a bad laser on Playstation, and blowing dust out of a cartridge on MegaDrive.
And, i for one would wish we could only have to worry about these minor probs for todays consoles.
I remember Playing MegaDrive Road Rash, not having a care in the world except playing the game and smashing my opponent.
Where am i today?
In a thread writing my opinion in a thread about todays Consoles rather then playing a specific game or raving about.
funny no?
Just my opinion of course.
And, it's not all doom and gloom but i'm just keeping ontopic with the subject at hand.
