I don't know if others think the way I do, but my enjoyment of gaming has basically gone down the craphole for me this generation. And I don't mean because of the quality of the games. I think the overall quality of the games themselves has been better than ever. It's basically everything else thats caused me to basically just want to give up on modern gaming. For example:
1. Quality of hardware. (Before this generation, it was a rare occurrence for a console to just die. Now it's the norm for people to have to buy 3+ consoles in one generation. Not to mention some consoles are noisier than my PC).
2. Developer greediness. (The tidal wave of DLC. For some titles it feel as if you aren't finishing the main story of the game without buying the DLC. I like it when DLC gives you a nice bonus, but not when part of the main story itself costs you more money. Castlevania LOS is a good example of what I mean.)
3. The hackings. (You want to play Halo tonight? TOO BAD. Some douchebag hacked your account and now you get to deal with Microsoft for a month along with having to cancel your credit card and changing all your passwords.)
Theres probably a bunch of stuff I'm missing, but because of these big 3 I think I might be done buying consoles after this generation ends. It seems like I was alot happier sitting down and playing a game during the PS2 era when things were simpler. And I don't want to even mention the SNES era, which was when I was the happiest, although the fact that I was 7 probably has something to do with it.
