Either NieR or Dark Souls for me. I think I'll go with NieR.

You can go with both, and you'll even have a spare nomination.

Sigh.. I should've read the post instead of doing a piss poor job of skimming it.

So..

- NieR
- Dark Souls

Okay, I am now stating this because it's something which I'm not getting :
With what do you define a 'generation' for gaming?

In my opinion, we've already started a new generation, but I was figuring that you people didn't think that yet.

But, games that were basically the beginning of the PSP?

We need to define what a 'generation' encompasses. Until then, I"m withdrawing my nominations.

Well what generation you're in depends on if you care more about handhelds or consoles. I assume based on the nominations of the OP that he meant the 360/PS3 generation which would encompass PSP, DS, Wii, PS3, 360, and any PC RPGs that released during the same time frame.

Well it says in the opening post what consoles/portables are eligible. I wouldn't really try to separate half of PSP games into an older gen, since they're all on the same system after all. :)

Edit: Ninja'd sort of. :lol:

A generation, as defined by the industry, includes a family of systems released during a similar time period and generally placed against one another. They're core iterations. This generation, for example, is the end of the seventh generation (only eighth generation handhelds have been released).

PCs, of course, are above this. So they're hard to judge. But the best way of approaching that situation is to partition PC releases into time periods according to console generations.

Also what Prin said. I did list the current-gen platforms. We haven't quite transferred to the eighth generation yet.

I guess I'm just too free from time's embrace, or maybe it's enchained? Either way, I just can't give a fair comparison on a game from 5+ years ago to a game from a year or two ago.
