you realize there are more parts of a console generation than nintendo rightHad a lot more than 10 good exclusive games but whatever. DLC in nintendo games didn't really kick off until the current generation.

consider: mario and sonic go to the olympicsNah, this is not only not the best generation in gaming, it is the worst generation in gaming since the industry became a real thing.
I do that's why I said the Wii/Wii U generation which includes all the other consoles around during those generations. I just didn't think to type them because i thought that people would understand. Guess I was wrong.you realize there are more parts of a console generation than nintendo right
this was absolutely the generation of DLC, this was literally Skyrim Horse Armor days. This was buy Call of Duty map for $10, this was Battlefield online pass only included through code in the box, no trade ins to Gamestop.I do that's why I said the Wii/Wii U generation which includes all the other consoles around during those generations.

we literally had to ban rv miraidon in a tier with regenvest ting-lu and ice scales arceus-groundMiraidon deserves rising voltage
the 3DS is the greatest video game console to ever exist, and you cannot change my mind
we're dealing with levels of based that shouldn't even be possibleI chock that up mostly to the library of games available - the Alolan Pokemon games being the main selling point for me (and is in the three-way tie between it and Xenoblade(s) 1 and 3 for me)
For the record, I'm Gen Z, my first console was the Wii. I love the DS. I was a Nintendo kid and I played New Super Mario Bros Wii over and over and over. Mario Kart Wii was like my second game ever.I think it's really hard to determine one single best gen because when we examine it in retrospect, it's tainted by nostalgia and seeing only the memorable outliers
That said, I think the Wii/360/PS3 was when things turned out to the worse. It's when unfinished games started becoming more and more the practice and when delivering a half product was becoming normal. The PS4 era was a better by having a more established indie scene and having more variety, but the issues that started last gen got worse. PS5 era is legit awful, we are 4 years in and nothing is happening
I think the PS1 and PS2 eras were the best
Counterpoint: Elden Ring was mid, so the whole generation is bust.For the record, I'm Gen Z, my first console was the Wii. I love the DS. I was a Nintendo kid and I played New Super Mario Bros Wii over and over and over. Mario Kart Wii was like my second game ever.
PS5 era is good IMO because indie is at its best, AA is at its best. Even AAA has actual variety again. People look at Concords but not Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Dragon's Dogma 2, Armored Core 6, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, and so much more that would literally not be able to exist, let alone succeed, in the 7th or early 8th gen.
AAA is at its best in decades. AA is at its best in decades. Indie is at its strongest ever. This is IMO one of the strongest gens from a software standpoint. This is the first gen where PC gaming is actually a major power even in the mainstream, so it makes sense that the gen feels lackluster on the PS5 and Series front.
for gamecube we can say
wind waker
luigi's mansion
super mario sunshine
metroid prime / prime 2
fzero gx
mario kart
the thousand year door
pokemon coloseum / xd
pikmin 1 / 2
melee
star fox assault
im not even a big fan of the gamecube but its exclusive library fucks the wii in a first party lineup, the only must plays from the wii imo are galaxy, xenoblade, paper mario; twilight princess is also a gamecube game, and the rest felt like very replacable games in later gens.
To be fair, what elden ring lacks in being a good soulsborne game, it more than makes up for in being a game you can recommend to people who have never touched the genre. That's why elden ring got so popular; because most people with a decent amount of skill can pick it up no matter what. Personally, I never played it since soulsborne games aren't my cup of tea (Not a huge fan of the more methodical inputs since I much prefer stuff like terraria where you're focused on DPS and being able to hit the enemy with ~80% of your shots) but many people I know who come from varying backgrounds in the genre all say it is a good game.Counterpoint: Elden Ring was mid, so the whole generation is bust.
I do appreciate that, but it also means that I have to deal with new fans who conceptualize all of From's previous games as stepping stones to Elden Ring and look at me like an alien when I say I prefer the earlier ones. It's give and take with this game.To be fair, what elden ring lacks in being a good soulsborne game, it more than makes up for in being a game you can recommend to people who have never touched the genre.

That sounds like a problem that can be solved by separating the fanbase from the topicI do appreciate that, but it also means that I have to deal with new fans who conceptualize all of From's previous games as stepping stones to Elden Ring and look at me like an alien when I say I prefer the earlier ones.

This is true, but separating the fandom from the topic also means that I don't acknowledge the positive impact the game had on the fandom by getting a bunch of new people into it. I'm not inclined to selectively separate.That sounds like a problem that can be solved by separating the fanbase from the topic
Yeah, we don’t use Tera dark on dozo, we use Tera fighting since it boosts body press and isn’t weak to low kick.i think this only fixes about half the issues with tera. forsure fairy and steel and water are very good defensive teras, and you get a lot of mileage out of even more niche teras such as tera ghost for the broken zama and dark on dondozo for kingambit. however i think you understate the damage just a stab tera can do; the recent suspect was at least 50% caused by people realizing that tera dragon outrage on gouging is incredibly busted since it both gets rid of its ground weaknesses and adds a water resistance and also allows it to brute force past things that should beat it such as garg or tusk.
i think gouging exemplifies the main strengths of same-type tera in that it adjusts weaknesses into neutralities and allows brute forcing, but its not just gouging that could abuse it. Volc, for example, sometimes ran tera bug to get rid of the problematic ground neutrality and water weakness and get past tinglu and glowking at +1. Kyurem runs tera ice on specs and some dd sets to obliterate glowking. Gambit runs dark to obliterate that one 1400s stall team that hasn't figured out they need tera dark on dozo yet, etc. etc.
And if we did ban unnatural tera, the list would only grow. For example, one thing i've been using lately is tera fairy on valiant to shed its weakness to moonblast and brave bird from various sources, allowing it to beat things like moltres and corviknight easier in conjunction with encore + coverage while also making moonblast a nuke. Tera ghost ghold does similar things with tusk and moth, tera fairy prim heals to full with draining kiss, tera dark weavile can run band semi-viably thanks to not needing boots for rocks as much, etc.
also megas and tera aren't remotely comparable purely because tera can be applied to everything. if megas were a mechanic to add +100bst to any mon, it would be different, but as it is, megas can be tiered separately because they are only specific mons.
A legendary using a default ability to destroy BH is so funnywe literally had to ban rv miraidon in a tier with regenvest ting-lu and ice scales arceus-ground
