I thought the PS4 was a disappointment. PS3 probably my favorite console of all time. That whole next gen; just awful. 1/50th of good new creative IP's and half the reboots and sequels on PS4 from the PS3 gen were trash. RDR 2 vs RDR 1 for instance.

It had some great games like Doom 2016 and even Doom Eternal. But PS3, you couldn't go a year without dozens of gems (aside from like the first launch year and a half which was rough). The entirety of PS4's best games would fill up 2011 alone for PS3.

I blame the Last of Us. That pretentious crap ruined everything irrecoverably. I noticed around 2013 towards the end of the PS3 life that the games I liked weren't getting made at the same rate and things were starting to shift. That's also the year the Last of Us came out. But if you type in best games of 2013 way less gold than in 2012, and 2014 less than 2013; and there hasn't been a gold year since. It's just been a decline towards worse and worse quality. And this new gen. It's downright emberrassing. It's still essentially PS4 gen upscaling machines with a few sporadic releases that are terrible. When I sold my series X I decided that's the last console I'm ever buying. Sticking with PC from now on. Too many great games from the past I haven't played.
