What you mean? Sonic the headgehog cost £30 for the sega master system when it first was released!!
You're playing the wrong games. I'm 33 and there are some stunning games this generation, they're just not (largely) the big AAA ones. Detroit: Become Human, The Last of Us, Zelda BOTW, Persona 5, Life is Strange, Hyper Light Drifter, Into the Breach, the Divinity series of games, Nier, Hollow Knight.Those are just the ones of the top of my head. With the exception of Zelda and Persona (the latter of which I wouldn't call a huge well known series), they're all new IPs and genuinely inventive games.
This generation was far better than the last one, and I'd argue the one before that for imaginative games. You just need to look beyond the well known / hyped ones.
Get a PS4 and a Switch. You've missed out on 99% of why it's so great right now.
I'm much more frugal. AD:O and Odyssey were well worth the coin! Currently in BOTW and have W3 to come on Switch Lite. I think I somewhat agree that new IP is few and far between but I have so much to catch up on!
You have said that you play fifa and cod and yet you are whinging that this gen is ****. You sound like one of those people who have strong opinions about issues they have put literally 0 effort or thought into and then when anyone explains why you might be wrong your response is “it’s my opinion and I’m entitled to it”.
When you claim this generation has been poor and then haven’t owned a PS4 or Switch and your bread and butter is FIFA and CoD, no you are not entitled to a completely wrong opinion.
And you must be one of these people who dont actually read threads before replying.
Ive already stated i enjoyed cod and fifa due to the quick pick up and play aspect but cod has not been the same since advance warfare.
I also said ive owned a switch and have over 300 games for xbox.
Also ive owned and played
Commodore 16/64
Nes/snes/cube
Master system /mega drive
Sega saturn
Ps 1,2 and 3
Xbox ,xone and one x
So i think i have enough experience to make comments
Play those games today though and you'll find that very very few have aged well. They seemed awesome at the time because they were all we had and they were our first experience playing games.
After 30+ years it's inevitable that few games offer genuine surprises but that doesn't mean they aren't fantastic in their own right.
I'd go for a Switch to be honest, feels fresh just because of the form factor. If you haven't played Breath of the Wild then you need to fix that
