Have 8th gen satisfied you?

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..

The 3DS games i mentioned, aside from the 2 remakes, were sequels in established series.

I have no problem with sequels per se. I like sequels. I like game franchises. I am not a hipster game "critic" who only cares about a game if it is vastly different and a new IP.

The problem with the recent AAA sequels is not that they are sequels, it is that they are BAD GAMES. They are actually WORSE THAN THEIR PREQUELS.

For example, Dragon Age Inquisition doesn't suck because it is a rehash. It is not a rehash. It is actually a dumbed down game, a far cry from the original in every way. If it was a rehash of the Origins game, it might even had been good...

As for the many "spectacular games" released after Skyrim, name 3. I have played everything that has been released up to now, and i don't believe we have seen anything better than what has come before, and we have actually seen far worse.

Lastly, about the Skyrim and its DLC, Skyrim vanilla is huge, and no one can say that its DLC was content cut from the base game for more profit... Its DLC was actually worth the money, it added quite a lot to the gameplay.

Still have my Panasonic 3DO. Could not get rid of it after paying $700 on release day. Worse day ever! I swear Crash and Burn was gonna be a hit.....

Tales of Xillia 2, Infamous Second Son, Gravity Rush, Rayman Origins and Legends, Dragon's Dogma, Sleeping Dogs, Borderlands 2, Hotline Miami, Virtue's Last Reward, Ni no Kuni, Bioshock Infinite, Bravely Default, Guacamelee, The Last of Us, Tearaway, Bayonetta 2, Shovel Knight, Child of Light, Transistor and Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. oohh wait, you said only 3, but I can't say I overdid it because all of them are spectacular games. and ohhhh look, only 1 3DS exclusives in that list, I avoided rehashes and sequels too similar to previous entries and 3DS got 1 game in the list because of that(A Link Between Worlds and Kirby Triple Deluxe definitively would be in if wasn't by that, and seeing how you also discarded the Fire Emblems of GBA because are only SNES sequels, then Awakening is only a GBA sequel that isn't worth mentioning).
Just because a game isn't of your liking doesn't mean is less spectacular, because if that's the case then your beloved Skyrim isn't spectacular at all because I don't like it and think is shit and an excuse of a game.

Holy shit Skyrim is a lazy as fuck game. All the textures are obnoxiously recycled and the enemy diversity is embarrassing. When you go to the goddamn afterlife, heaven, Valhalla, whatever it's called, and you fight the UNDEAD DRAUGR, then yeah, there's an issue.

It becomes incredibly samey without mods, it is a terrible game once you take away the initial "wow" factor. It's like a Ubisoft game. Big open worlds with a whole lot of nothing to do.

Only 8th gen console I got is the Wii U and it has no fucking games

Got CoD:BlOps2 and Scribblenauts at Launch, then got MH3U, MK8, Smash, and LoZ: WW HD and after enjoying all I could with these I got bored and disappointed that they have nothing more to offer

man even the Wii was absolute crud in terms of what games it offered. remember the gamecube days? god that was THE shit

I know exactly what you mean. I got really sick of fighting these draugr over and over again. There isn't much skill in the combat either. However, probably the biggest issue I had with Skyrim was how the difficulty works. Enemies get more difficult corresponding to what level your character is. I'm guessing this was done to make exploring as non linear as possible, but it takes away all the satisfaction you'd get from scaling places that you couldn't before or finally beating a certain dungeon. There just isn't much to strive for and everything feels so pointless. They should've made fewer quests but made each quest more in depth.

Easy.
1. GTA V
2. Bioshock Infinite
3. Mass Effect 3

These three games are spectacular games all released after Skyrim with unique features not available in the previous games of the series. Also they're all multiplat games so I didn't even include exclusives like The Last of Us and the likes. It's one thing to say that a game is good, but another to say that everything after it has been bad. Ignorance is bliss they say.

I agree with you that some games are same-ish than their predecessors, but that is not a bad thing in some cases. Every now and then you may have a bad sequel, but it doesn't mean the games are shit. Just look at how AC has developed. ACII was a masterpiece, ACIII was very mixed, ACIV was vastly better. Just like looking at many other franchises. The Witcher had problems, The Witcher 2 fixed quite a few.
