CG animation where a character - usually female, always skinny - does that exasperated forward-leaning arms-flapping-and-dangling gesture, that just makes everything look like Woody from toy story.
I don't even see why it's necessary to name the generation of consoles that play the games which you're referring to. I'd say "modern" games, and in fact, the use of excessive bloom started before the current generation of consoles came out. See, for example, Burnout Revenge and Far Cry Instincts on the old Xbox. Burnout also suffered from the "brown is realistic" type design that automatically tends to come with tons of bloom.
Seriously, stop whining about the use of the term 'next gen'. People are using it now, and it's used to refer to the first gen of pixel-shaded, normalmapped stuff, mostly. It was a stupid idea to call it next-gen in the first place, but now we're stuck with it, and calling it 'current gen' is even more stupid, as it means we'll be calling the next generation of consoles 'next-gen' again. It's fucking stupid, stop it.
Actually, calling it next-gen made sense when it was the next generation. The next generation SHOULD be called next-gen as it stands for next generation. Why's that stupid?
But like I said, you rarely need to refer to an actual generation of consoles, so "gen" itself should go away. Hopefully it will, around the time the actual next generation shows up and people get entangled and confused about which generation is which.
Rox: It doesn't make sense. Not now that 'next-gen' has become a way to describe the gen of pixel-shaded games. It's now the identifying term for that generation, and can no longer be used to describe the next generation of games consoles. It's been ruined.
And bloody good too, since it's stupid to refer to a generation as being 'the next one'. Give it a number or something, if you feel like referring to it as being a generation.

Oh, see, it's a matter of interpretation. The phrase makes sense. The way people use it doesn't make sense. But enough of that, I'm done.
Barley clothed women in environments that dont support the costume choices. Hence a cold post apocalyptic world where the woman is wearing spandex and a corset!
Level bosses with multiple appendages that must be destroyed one at a time.
In-story rationalization for game-specific elements like save points, ostensibly to maintain suspension of disbelief; but that always end up doing the opposite by hokeying up the gameworld. (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, ENTIRE SURVIVAL HORROR GENRE)
As much as it's a silly argument, and your almost arguing the same point, I got’to back Rox
I'm pretty sure my next generation poop becomes stale around the same time I do another one oO ...doesn't matter if people didn't take a whiff or not, tis what it tis, poop!.... what was I talking about again?
Next-Gen has spilled over into other things. I've heard politicians talk about Next Gen health care and someone on the radio was talking about the Next Gen of light rail in our area. It doesn't matter whats it's being used for its officially over used, but I think this is just the tip of the Next Gen iceberg.
We just need some young urbanite to make the phrase cool and immortalize it in some catchy song that goes main stream, so McCain supporters can start using it. The sad thing is, they think they're current Gen. But the obituaries say otherwise.

I'm sorry it's called seventh generation.

And that was before the current gen consoles!

This really now grinds my gears.

I see what you did there. :thumbup:
