Have 8th gen satisfied you?

[TotalInsanity4]

That would be sick. you won't need a PC to enjoy the master race since you could perfectly install Windows or Linux there and leave Steam do the magics.

I'm halfway anticipating that the XBox One/"next whatever the fudge console they make" will have Windows 10 support, since it's an x86 architecture and both OSs are made by the same company

 

[Subtle Demise]

I probably won't buy any 8th gen consoles unless one of them gets a cheap/easy soft/hard mod.

I forgot that existed

Because the ouya is not of any generation, it is beyond that paradigm and it will never need to be upgraded.

Or because it is the only console the wiiu has out sold

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the godly ouya?

because we aren't LightyKD
but to say truth Ouya suffer from the extreme opposite of PS4 and Wii U, is a pretty good multimedia box but lacks in the gaming department.

Dreamcast was excellent, but Sega economic situation forced them to bury it alive.
Vita is the best handheld you can have right now and is drown in games that the "huehue no gaemz" joke sound silly.
CD-i was meant more as an interactive movie player than a proper videogame console, a concept that didn't took off until PS360 arrived.
What was really a scam was the Jaguar.

Meh the vita has games but not as many that are interesting to me since the I have a 3ds which has way more games I like and the other uses are worthless to me as I'd rather use my tablet for videos,music, and what not.

 

[TemplarGR]

No. The last 3 years in gaming have been abysmal aside from the 3DS and a few other exceptions. The last true worthwhile AAA game was Skyrim.

I don't believe the 8th gen will improve by much. And i don't believe it will last long. I believe by 2019-2020 at the latest the 9th gen will appear. Probably earlier in 2017-2018...

 

[FAST6191]

You really think the 3ds was good? I think it has been awful.

Don't forget the Amiga CD32


[EDIT]
right, it was never officially released in N/S America (With exception of Canada)

I also have to correct my previous post:
I do own 8th gen: Wii-U, 3DS, 3DS-XL, 2DS and N3DS.

 

[RevPokemon]

You really think the 3ds was good? I think it has been awful.

Honest it was a big step down from the ds and GBA but I personally still like it more than vita

 

[DjoeN]

And i still do have my Panasonic FZ-1 REAL 3DO system (Worsed console i ever played!)

So far still waiting, current offering:

PS4: Getting better by the day, promising games ahead.
WiiU: Shovelware ahoy! Had a good start, but the games are fewer and farer between. Great with friends for MK and Smash, otherwise collects dust.
PSVita: JRPG machine to the max. Quality games, especially RPGs, but could do with a boost
3DS: Umm.. Somehow feels lackluster as Pokémon is of little interest to me anymore and Smash is on the WiiU.
PC: Need I say more? Top tier gaming rig and I can even stream stuff easily. About to set a stream box hooked to my TV and I'll have 1080p/60fps with ultra settings on large screen.

Don't own a X1, so can't really say anything regarding that (Sort of prefer the 360 controller over the X1, but I haven't played it for long so..).

Yes, considering that aside from Skyrim with DLCs and mods, 90% of my gaming time has been on it for the last 3 years...

To be honest, i don't understand your adoration for the GBA. GBA in my opinion is the most overrated Nintendo handheld up to now.

If you exclude all the NES/SNES ports/remakes and the shovelware, what else did it have? A couple of Pokemon games, a Metroid game and a Zelda, a few Castlevanias and Megamans, 3-4 RPGs and what else? Even its unique and exclusives games were just spiritual SNES sequels in all but name...

The DS was exceptional, i'll give you that. In my opinion the best console, handheld or tv, of all time. Its gaming library was vast, with quality games in every genre imaginable... Too many unique games. A truly great handheld.

The 3DS, while not up to the DS's level, is still quite good for its first 4 years. Imagine the situation of the DS by end of 2008/early 2009. Many of the better DS games hadn't arrived by then.

It has a few exceptional games. In my opinion, Fire Emblem, Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, the 3 Zeldas and the Monster Hunters are really good games in their respective genres. There are even more games in the "not excellent but very good category". At least 30 of them.

They are not many, and they are not the best games evah, but they are far better than anything else released after 2012. Seriously, what else is there? Assassin Creeds? The CODs? The Battlefields? The more movie-than-game TLoU? Tomb Raider? The Far Cries? What? Boring cookie-cutter AAA releases, unoptimized, full of bugs, and sold in pieces (DLC)? The "indie" games which are good for as long as the novelty lasts, about a couple of hours at most? "Challenging" trial and error waste-of-lifers like the Souls games? What?

For the most part, I've been pretty happy with what's been released. The PS4 is really picking up. Despite what people say, there's a good number of Wii U games. The 3DS has been a great handheld, with a nice chunk of quality games. The Vita has a bunch of fun titles, but it needs more recognition. Having missed out on a LOT of last gen, I'm glad to be able to experience the remasters of last-gen games, through my Xbox One. All-in-all, I think the 8th gen has had a lot of great games.

 

[TemplarGR]

Plus, i don't understand how some people can say that the Vita is a great handheld. Let's face it: It is not. I know it hurts and you want to justify your purchase, but come on...

The hardware? Really good. Just like the PSP, the Vita has really good hardware.

But its gaming library sucks.

Unless you are a JRPG fanatic. Then you will like it a lot. But NEWSFLASH:

JRPGS are a niche genre. Most of the world doesn't like them very much. Even the japanese don't like them that much.

Sure, they were good back in the day, since they were a good way to tell an interactive story, but the genre has become stale. Right now, they are just grind fests with anime graphics and fan service. As games, they are abysmal. No strategy, no difficulty, no fun, not even good stories. Just waste your time (and your life) and win!

Interesting that you say that some consoles are mainly rehashes and the new AAA releases are the same, while at the same time you managed to mention only "rehashed" titles on the 3DS that you like. You're missing out on quite a bit if you link most modern games as one and the same. There are many spectacular games released after Skyrim, but it's up to you to actually play the games. Don't like them? Great, you may be right. Still doesn't mean you haven't found the ones that you would like..

ps. Skyrim with mods (Downloadable content, aka DLC). Regardless of the origin, be it original devs or fan made, it's still DLC. Not that Skyrim isn't a big game already..
