honestly looking back the 7th generation was a pretty fucking dire time for vidya games

having gone back and played a lot of the 7th gen "classics" (CoD:MW, Skyrim, FO3, Halo, BioShock) and a lot of these games just... fucking suck? if I'm being frank? all absolute fucking snoozefests that pale in comparison to what came before them and for some reason they're remembered really fondly.

see, I know these games are crap because even my nostalgia goggles can't save them. I grew up with the seventh generation of consoles! these games were a part of my childhood (in a weird way, it's complicated)! and going back... wow these suck. out of the games/series I listed, BioShock 1 is probably the least Boring game of the bunch and it still just feels like a slapdash imitation of System Shock with art deco trimmings. Skyrim and FO3 are about as exciting as reading the dictionary front to back, and don't get me started on CoD and Halo.

funny how nostalgia works.

I'm ride-or-die for the 7th generation at this point: you listed a bunch of games but that's barely scratching the surface of a generation that had thousands and thousands of games

this was also the generation of things like littlebigplanet, dark souls, the birth of online console gaming, the wii... it was when there was a big indie boom on consoles for the first time. it was a cambrian explosion for video games in a way that even preceeding heavy-hitters (the 5th and 6th generation) weren't

I talked about it with someone else a while back and realised that I didn't even remember it as the era of brown, sludgy, bloomy shooters anymore. I'd forgotten all that and replaced it with just the good stuff. which was so weird to me cause at the time I felt like it was an absolute creative dead-end era and those shooters were everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE

I think it goes to show that I got a full picture of it only after it ended and it turned out it was actually one of my favourites and I like it more than the 6th generation (the PS2, gamecube, etc, all-time great consoles)
