Well, the next gen consoles are finally here as we are all aware of, and honestly I'm pretty sad. I'm getting older, and don't have much time to devote to gaming any more, but I still must say I had some good times with my Xbox 360. But it makes me sad that they have marketed too much to the "bro gamers" and not such much hardcore gamers like ourselves (presumably). What I mean, is there will never be another COD 4, another battlefield BC2, etc.

I played GTA V for awhile, beat the single player, the game was beautiful and a blast at first. But lost its luster after beating the relatively short single player, and I don't really care for the online even though it's almost like they centered the game towards it. I didn't buy Ghosts, and seeing gameplay makes me glad I didn't, the only gameplay I saw looked like the awful MW2 map Salvage, and typical Infinity ward just spewing out premade models all over the map for cover and choke points.

Sadly, there won't ever be another COD 4 or MW2 (love it or hate it, it got a lot of people into COD). No more skill based gameplay for FPS games, or COD at least, because the game designers are too busy marketing more complex next year COD to cater to the fat bald 30 year old with 4 kids who gets on the forums and complains about quickscoping. Hopefully, the next COD doesn't exist, because Ghosts caused EA to ruin the launch of BF4 and put it out early to compete with Call of Duty, leading to a buggy or unplayable game that could have otherwise been awesome.

These new consoles reflect the new "mainstream" gaming trend that wasn't around when the PS3 and 360 came out, and honestly I don't think the new games coming out will be the same as the earlier games on the 360/ PS3 from 4-6 years ago. Maybe it's just me getting old and cynical, yet I don't feel excited for the One at all especially after all the controversy over the features after the reveal. Maybe I'll get it to play Forza 5, but after playing Horizon I'm not even excited for another Forza and hope they didn't ruin this one.
