I've been gaming for a LONG time. NES era for consoles and Doom era for PC. A lot of people forget that there were plenty of turds back in the day and a bunch of instant classics. Same thing today. Sure, the EA and UBIsoft games are craptastic, but there have been some seriously good games lately. The Batman Arkham games, Dishonored, Mordor games, Trine, Portal, Ori and the Blind Forest, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Injustice games, Mortal Kombat games, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, etc.
On the console front, you have Uncharted, which is one of the best game series that I've ever had the pleasure of playing. Then you have Halo and Gears of War, which were great.
The biggest disappointment today is the shooters. I loved the old fashioned, Doom, Duke Nukem, Return to Castle Wolfenstien style games, and they just don't make them any more. Duke Nukem Forever was close, but they tried a hybrid system that left me wanting the old style. Shadow Warrior was also a close one.
