No freaking way. Graphics not improving?! Try playing Oblivion and then Skyrim! The same old stuff with no creativity? I'm totally playing an Indian assassin in the Revolutionary war right now... for the first time ever in a game!

Console games have never been better! Even though the ending sucked, I WAS Commander Shepard for 40+ hours in ME3. You can see the dirt and sweat on the skins of fighters in Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

And that's only the beginning! The next gen consoles are predicted to blow the current gen away in processing power. It won't be long before the average video game looks like todays best Hollywood special effects loaded movies... except in a truly 3d environment.

Very misleading thread title. From the article in the link:

"So is this it then? Is the death of dedicated gaming upon us? In a word, no."

Never pictured you as a gamer, Pipes.

Seems every 3 months or so the end of "PC Gaming" or "Console gamine" is predicted.
And they keep rolling on....
