Why you shouldn't buy a next gen console yet.

Next gen, are you there? have you even started yet? It's going on a year and a half now and we've yet to be absolutely blown away by a game. Lets be honest, The quality of a lot of the games seem like I could get the same experience on the previous generation consoles. Yes, maybe we are exaggerating a little bit here, there have been some great games released such as Project Cars, The Witcher 3, GTA 5 (technically a previous gen release) Bloodbourne. Really though, they're the only games that I can think of off the top of my head.

Where the hell is the absolutely mind blowing, OMG, holy shit, this is unbelievable experience though? I've yet to have one game on next gen consoles really take me to that level of experience yet. I'll use Gears of war as an example. Gears of War when it was released was an absolutely unreal experience. The first time I played the campaign I couldn't believe how stunning the game was, not only that but how detailed the gore was when chainsawing a enemy in half. It wasn't just the Campaign though, the multiplayer was a whole different experience, I spent countless hours playing with random people in to the early mornings.

So far this gen though we've yet to have something like that, maybe you have? i'm not sure, but this gen has felt really bland compared to the last few. Games like Gta 3 on the ps2 was absolutely awesome and Halo on the original Xbox amazing. Ps3 had a stunning game in Killzone 3 and games like Resistance, God Of War.  Xbox 360 had Halo 3, Gears Of War and lets not forget how massive Call of Duty and GTA IV were during last gen.

So what exactly do we have to look forward to this gen? Which game is looking to grab the mantle? Lets start with The Division, This Game from what we've been shown looks Stunning, Has features that are interesting and intriguing and a multiplayer that looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.  Also Star Wars Battlefront is looking to be a big hit, the game has a lot of hype surrounding it and if it lives up to the hype it could definitely become the face of this generation. You also can't count out games such a Halo 5 and Call Of Duty, while these series have maybe taken a bit of a step backwards they have some really talented people working on them and it doesn't take much for these games to become a hit at all.

Look, if there's one bit of advice I could give you at Collect Gamer, it would be don't purchase a next generation console yet. A lot of the games out now are just not worth it and if you're really scratching to play a single game you'd be better off buying it on PC. Wait for that game, that game that will blow you away, it will be worth it.
