This is the worst "Gaming Generation" ever

[JIRAIYA perv]

been playing video games since i was a kid (siga/pc/playstation/playstation2/xbox original/ps3/borrow my friend's xbox 360 sometimes for the exclusives/soon the ps4).

now i don't know about the whole "gamer" thing ............ but it all has to do with the market, making games more accessible to a larger audience is a positive thing also good for business.

there are difficult games out there and even the normal games come with higher difficulties (more choices/different genres for different kind of people). what am trying to say is, games are supposed to be FUN and a fun/great game doesn't have to be difficult. now there is a new kind of games (movie like) for example "heavy rain" which is an excellent game i must say.

the players reactions/attitude is not because of how the games changed (you can say that the people changed, games are just games/just evolved), and all i miss from the old days are the TITLES that just disappeared :'(

online gaming is not really from "the old days" (console gaming) and if you think the online games has been dumped down (though they remained the same since the time they started) and hate the online player's attitude, then it's simple, don't play it. :heh:

this is not the worst gaming generation, it's OVERALL the worst generation.

Mostly who playing naruto generation or storm 3 are kids under 18 ..

I am really tired with their spams , cheap support and rage quieter ..

My rank is hero and I always choice itachi with kisame as his support while my opponent choice cheap support and op character and before he lose he just quite and I don't receive any point for that ..

If you want more competition then try tekken because u can't win unless you are extremely skilled

I can see you're approximately 15-20 year old guy. Well the gaming has always been like this. Even our generation complained and complained. I don't know you, but I can guess you were the same as 90% of us gamers. You've just grown up. Nothing else. Of course there has been difference between the games, but so has between old you and the current you.

I'm not a big gamer but I believe this is how it has always been. People complaining and what not but I think it is now more evident and noticeable due to the social aspect [multiplayer] that almost all games, if not all games now-a-days encompass.

But, I'm what you would call a person from the current generation.. I'm sure you guys, when playing video games or are out in public have noticed the language children use. 8 or 9 years old and the language they use is extremely vulgar.. has it always been like this?

Anyways, in terms of game quality, other than a few games this generation, I prefer older games to newer games. And those few newer games are generally games that utilize the old video game formula [Simple 2-D Side-Scroller for example].

speed running games is what people do for the higher challenge, speed running a hard game for fun xd

Honestly? This. I got sick of the complaining recently and took to speedrunning myself. It requires a lot of skill, persistence, patience, logic, etc. to be able to speedrun a game well, and you don't have to hear people complain about this or that when doing so. I'm currently learning Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker right now and I couldn't be happier about it. The speedrun itself is extremely long (WR for Any% is 4:32:36 I believe? I may be wrong about the seconds) and I suggest it to anyone who has the mentality to speedrun.

Also, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 isn't bad :|. It's just a different approach than mvc2. In stead of focusing on lockdown and chip in the metagame, now it's focused on mixups and resets in the new one. The skill and tricks are still there, it's just different is all. Plus, it's more execution heavy in my opinion, you could see a top player do a combo with a character and say "Well, why doesn't everyone do that?" because not everyone can do that. Chris G is a perfect example, no one could use Morrigan nearly as well as him, which is why he's such a dominant threat with her.

Wall of text didn't read. Ps3 & Xbox gen has definately been the worst. Ps2/Gamecube/Xbox was the best generation. I thik Ps4/Xbox1/Wiiu will surpass this gen and if they bring back the old exclusives (Jak 4, Ratchet and clank, sly etc) it can beat Ps2 gen. Kingdom Hearts is already confirmed.

 

[cptenn94]

let me give you an example from my brother. He plays Gears of War 3 alot. He often complains because other people will use longer ranged weapons like the hammerburst and lancer, when they are in range to be damaged by a shot gun. He wants them to use the shotgun, and always yells and calls them noobs for useing a weapon, and will often say" they are such noobs for useing those weapons"


I noticed video games became less fun about 4-5 years ago, when i got a 360 and halo 3. At first it was a blast, and everybody had fun(there were tons of custom games as well ). But then i had a house fire, and when i got a new xbox, and halo 3, (about half a year later) i found there was a new majority of people playeing....(8-10 year olds).....they were the group that started makeing it less fun. They had little skill, and would always be complaining, and stuff, where generally before, they were in a minority.


Anyways, the point of my story, is one of the things that happened to start makeing gameing less enjoyable, was kids who were 10 and under , suddenly being allowed to play m rated games(shooters). They were immature, and would often only cause irritation. (man those high pitched voices were aweful)


Now the number 1 thing that causes gameing to be less enjoyable, is people playing for pure competition and not for fun at all. People who would only enjoy winning, and would always blame others for their loss.

the other thing, is now as compared to the stuff you mentioned people play games competitvly from their home, without getting up and going to a friends house to play and stuff. Nowadays, its rare to go to a friends house to go play a game, because you can just sit at home and play with them.


I remember the awesome days of going and playing games like super smash bros with friends and stuff.



But simply because people rage, they make the game less enjoyable for others, and cause the cycle of rageing(just like the cycle of hatred, just with rage)

one person rages, and gets 1-6 people upset, and they start rageing, and it just spreads.


Ohh well though. Other than just missing skilled players, and people who were just epic to play with i still enjoy playing games.(for example i had a friend who could headshot people by bounceing sniper bullets in halo 3.....was just epic(and he didnt use a modded controller or anything.)

 

[Anorien16]

Games only gets bad when u stop having fun which often depends on players ... as for player quality, there has always been idiots but they are more in number now.

 

[ZK]

Go back to playing Modern Warfare and let the people playing Inferno on 'Diablo 3' to decide whether or not games have become 'easier' over the years.

 

[Ineverquit]

This is why for the most part I play non-online games unless they are games I play with a friend (like co-op).

Today, this generation of gamers is the worst. I don't know if it has something to do with games being more social, or what. But, it is not how It used to be.

Back in the day, let's say a game like street fighter, people picked their characters, and did what they had to win. games took skill. You wanna pull off a long combo marvel vs Capcom 1 and 2? that took skill. Shooting games too skill, it wasn a bunch of over powered guns and auto aim. You actually had to aim and shoot.

Now, all todays games have been dumbed down for the dumb kids. Everything. From fighting games to shooting and racing games. They destroyed marvel vs Capcom. look at it, its a disgrace to marvel and Capcom. they dumbed it down. Halo 4, dumbed it down. EVERYTHING IS DUMBED DOWN!!


WHY??? Because all these kids do is complain, complain, complain. Name one day of online where you actually had fun playing with randoms that didn't moan and complain?? I can't think of too many. Now a days, everyone wants people to do easy stuff. Oh don't use that gun, don't use that team, its too OP. LIKE SERIOUSLY!! Too OP?? Freaking pathetic, anyone who complains about a strategy being OP is not a real gamer. Anyone who cant take a lose, is not a real gamer.
What happen to the friendly competition days, where we all said GG, and that was fun, he is a tough player. Not, oh he is cheap, blah blah blah. Pathetic.

Explain to me, why do I have to pick a weak team or gun or slow car??? to give YOU a chance to win? seriously? that's not what gaming is. You have all destroyed the true meaning of gaming and made it into something dead. Millions play games, but only thousands are true gamers.

ok, I got that off my chest, feel better.
Any thoughts on this? Are you one of the people I just described? Or are you a true gamer with sportsmanship and strategy.

I'm of the age where I played the old classic games and I still play the new games of today. I don't know what you're smoking but games back in the day didn't require the skill that some games today require. Pretty much every classic game you played back in the day had cheat codes and such put into them to give you the unfair advantage. Games today removed all that, hence the reason we now call them mods and not cheats. Games had to be modified to allow that unfair leverage that old games used to have.

So if your idea of a great gaming generation was a generation full of cheats, then I'm sorry for you.

I will admit one thing though about the old generation of games that I am grateful for that makes me feel pity for today's children. That is that to have an interactive multiplayer experience, you'd literally had to set up days with your friends to all meet at one of their houses to play games like halo 1. Kids today that are 10-16/18 assume they have best friends from hanging out at school. I don't assume, I know my friends are my best friends because I had memories that tops any shit that xbox live can provide today.

You're talking about marvel vs capcom arcades tough, of course those are better than the consoles and it was more competative for sure , I remember going to the pizza parlor and playing NBA show time and nfl blitz and MvC 2 , beasting on it. But call of duty and other shooting games have auto aim for online? Ima have to check that because that my friend is not true. Also you gotta realize that lol kids play games too. Not just teens and older dudes . I played sonic when I was like 6-7 but they did not have Internet for sega so would it have been different online ... Hell yea.

You get caught once in MVC3 you're done :|
MVC3 takes no skill at all, if you're good at blocking and know the combos than it's an auto win. I've been playing the VS series (MVC, MVC2, XVSF, MVSF) for about 3 yrs now and compared to them. MVC3 has got to be the worst one. The OTG (Off The Ground) combos are insanely beefed to the point where you can't get up (which makes zero sense), resets are insanely OP'ed, not to mention the controls are bleh.


OT: I see what you mean, ppl camp in shooters, which take literally zero skill. I have a camping class in MW3 and found that my K/D is significantly better when I choose it (I have a lower death count) as opposed to if I "Search and Destroy" the other team. Halo is just as bad as you can win the game by camping with a sniper, shotty or OP'ed Rocket Launcher and spamming grenades

Think about it like this. Yes, it's a very different style of play now going into mvc3. Remember in mvc2 it was all about lock down and chip being some of the main priorities or winning? You could argue that once you get block sentinal assist or etc. you might as well not bother trying to move because you've got strider with oroboros right behind it and etc. It's the same complaining, just about something different now. Now there's setups and mixups and resets and etc. Yes, it's frustrating, but that's bound to come if you play the game. MvC3 takes quite a bit of skill to play, that's why there's a competitive scene to begin with, if it didn't take skill there wouldn't be such a large fanbase around the game or a bunch of people playing it professionally. It's just this game focuses more on your execution and knowledge of the game/matchup rather than reading your opponent which I don't like particularly but it's understandable in a game that moves this fast. Resets aren't OP because you can get out of any reset if you've seen it before. I don't see the problem with the controls, care to elaborate?

From what I've seen in MVC3 EVO tourneys characters such as Vergil, Dante, Zero (etc), the resets/inf are nearly impossible to get out of. Yes, chars like the strider/doom/senti combo was cheap, but there are ways out of the, though it is difficult. You can't even get recovery roll in MVC3 and when you do it's luck.


Your point concerning it being a tournament game. Super Street Fighter 2 turbo was a game also in EVO and alot of ppl just Ryu/Ken/Guile turtle, Vega abuse, or Scissor Kick pressure. Does that make it cheap? No. It's all about opinion, but MVC3 is not a skill game IMO, once you learn the comboes, then you've mastered the game. It's different in mvc2. With the exception of Cable, if you used Magneto (whom which I'm still learning), you'd see what I mean. Fact is, there are flaws and tier list in just about every fighter. But MVC3 is just ridiculous

Well I've been playing since the Sega Genesis days and honestly I feel like it's going to get a lot worst. Developers and consumers are more concerned with great graphics and online. If you really think about it the majority of people that play video games play the same thing that everyone else it playing, whether it's games like madden to shooters like Black ops. I don't play those type of games but I see why people do, because all there friends are playing it and it's a simple game that's the same from the last 4 installments with a few additions. Plus when they try to play games outside of the box there not that interesting or just a copy of another more popular game out there.

If a developer has a deadline of when their game is released they spend about 70 percent of the time working on the graphics and details. Most of the games in this generations aren't challenging with deep gameplay, it's mostly alright games to play with extremely good graphics. With the next gen I expect it to get worst because graphics have become the main focal point of video games. Hopefully I'll be wrong though.

I think I should restrain myself because you just judged an entire gaming community and the finally recognized genre of entertainment that has such a vast library of gaming genres over Capcom's venture. Brilliant and foolhardy. I happen to be a hardcore gamer and I can tell you that there are good and bad games just like any other form of entertainment or its followers. It's stupid to suggest that your opinion is the law here. Seriously.

Gaming has finally matured into a medium where people can find everything and anything they like. I love story-driven games, hence I choose them - heavy rain, MGS, Fatal Frame, Silent Hill, Tales Series, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, God of War etc etc - and others have theirs. Same is the variety with games themselves. I don't even ...

 

[Itachi Minato]

I only play story mode games and single player. Thats all that interests me. Online is just annoying.

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

If you're just talking about the community then....it's always been that way. I don't really care, but the actual creativity and quality of games from the last generation have most definitely been the most stunted and uninspired generation gaming has seen yet.
