[gold stinger]

DBP's post stings so hard because it's 100% on the nose.

Believe it or not, there used to be a great stigma against video games before most of you were born, and video games were on their way out of the market as a 'niche' back in 1983-1985 because the Home Computer was just better for handling that sort of aspect and most games at the time were of poor quality.

Honestly if it wasn't for Nintendo releasing the NES and kickstarting a generation of consoles that would domino into competition spanning multiple decades, requiring better performance, better games, better graphics, etc. We might have been forever stuck with indie games, flash games and nothing else.

I also agree that when the PS3 came, video games reached their peak fmpov of what I would consider "Best Gaming Generation", and started on their decline. Of course, you would get the odd outlier like Undertale or Skyrim, but on the years of which those released, it's hard to not acknowledge the biased ratio of how many "good game for every 'x' number of bad games" there are, has increased comparatively to the mid-to-late 2000's.
