Graphics

This generation of gaming is shite. It's all about the graphics.

Video games are all about visual stimuli, and as technology improves and advances, so, too, does graphical fidelity. There's all sort of other things that have improved with each generation, too, but visuals are the most obvious thing, despite processing power taking leaps and bounds in terms of loading times (if any), A.I., world sizes, performance, animations, physics, etc. Of course, these things only really apply if the people making the game are competent enough to take advantage of these things, otherwise you end up with horse shit like APB Reloaded.

To think we went from this to this in a matter of thirty-odd years is nothing short of stunning.

Hmm, it's kind of difficult to tell the real difference. Both screenshots clearly went through a lot of post-processing

Though seriously, I do find this generation not as good (yet) compared to the previous two. Lots of remastered games, still not that many interesting games for me at this point (will improve), annoying huge updates for every game,...

gaming has always been about the graphics, the graphics are just better now.
