Anyway, I am becoming very dissatisfied with this generation. The Wii is mostly cookie-cutter budget releases that replace mindless button-mashing with mindless controller-waggling. The 360 has a bunch of super-short glitchy games that aren't worth half of their $60. I don't have a PS3 but it's game library is mostly the same as the 360's anyway. I think the DS is the best system of this generation, sad as that sounds.
dunno about the DS being the best of this gen, i don't think any one console deserves the title of being best system. It boils down to the games and there's only really a handful that stick in my mind as AAA:

COD4: 360
oblivion: 360
mario galaxy: wii
jean de arc: psp
puzzle quest: ds

(NB i don't own a PS3)


I agree with your sentiments. For example i can't believe how much of a let down bioware have been with mass effect when they made such gold like jade empire and knights of the old republic 1 (second one was a let down plot wise).

since there haven't been many top tier titles recently i've been concentrating on the gems of the last gen - finally got around to playing/completing shadow of the colossus, psychonauts next on my list is prince of persia (sands of time) and god of war 1
FYI, the PC version of TES IV: Oblivion is much better than the 360 version

the pc version is the one i played accidentially (although the 360 seems to play it at far better graphics then my laptop) - i haven't really cited the PC as i'm not really sure how it fits into the generation thing

How often do you have sex? I consider myself a hardcore gamer and I have sex at least once a week. Also, people use those terms when something is "orgasmic".

I am predicting a new VR system that uses sensors for motion control. Wii proved that people want innovation, and not just HD GFX. (although GFX are nice, don't get me wrong) I would pay $600+ for a VR system done right with real motion controls. I would imagine you would need a sensor-bar/shirt thing that would keep track of your body, and arm position, as well as something to keep track of your positioning in space. And the glasses would have to be light-weight. I don't care if it only has a few games, and I hope to see this some day regardless of how stupid you will look while playing it.

I know it sounds like sci-fi, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to bring back VR again.

The xbox sold more than the gcn. Next gen the xbox will be the best followed by sony's console. People will realize hardcore is the way to go.
No they won't. And who are you to decide what's hardcore and what's not?
I'm a hardcore gamer....??
Define hardcore.
Anything on the 360/ps3 really

What a load of Bullshit!

There is no such thing as casual or hardcore games. Just games that suck and games that don't. For instance, the Hannah Montana games suck and the Tetris series is awesome. Sonic the Hedgehog games have become terrible in general, but Mario is still awesome.

If a game is good, it's good. If it's not, it's not. Being a hardcore game does not mean a game is good. And being a casual game does not mean it is bad. If you were a true gamer, you would play any game that is good. Being a game snob just makes you look bad and limits your fun. People use the terms hardcore and casual to sound sophisticated. It doesn't make you so. Just narrow minded.

Proof that both casual and hardcore titles can be excellent- Henry Hatsworth. Bringing the absolute best of both worlds- platforming and puzzles, together perfectly.

I'll have to both disagree and agree with you. there are people (NOT ME) who like Hannah Montana etc. I hate tetris. Didn't find Henry Hatsworth anything special.
But, to suck (Jeez that sounds wrong) isn't the same as being good. There's no denying that Tetris is good, and I love Etrian Odyssey and The Dark Spire,
Though a lot of people hate them. But they're good. They've got quality (something that's become very rare in games).

But Sonic sucks. Really.

All the current gen systems are doing well right now. Even with the blunder of hardware issues that they have. Each generation the consoles are becoming more like a computer, but at the end of the day, a purpose built computer will out do any current gen console. It will however, cost more. It can also however do more.

If you are traveling the country playing video games for money, or work for G4 or any other video game publishing company, you are a hardcore gamer. Until then, you are just a gamer, and or a fanboy.

Marketing and 3rd party support killed the Dreamcast. There were a few hits on it, but at least 20X more even on gamecube. I will say it was ahead of its time with the online gaming. The controller absolutly sucked IMO.

They did a poor job marketing it in the states however the marketing in Japan was absolutely superb and the 3rd party support was mainly Japan only, they even had a keyboard and monitor for it that cost 2000 bucks US however only 100 were made.

Bioware didn't develop the second one. It was made by Obsidian Entertainment.
