Re: Games Discussion Thread
sales statistics say you're wrong.
Gamers are killing games cos we say we want fun original games but every copy of portal 1 and 2 ever sold is dwarfed by this years madden. let alone the latest battle field or cod.
I dunno if anyone here has heard of TheBestGamers on Youtube, but they do satirical reviews that touch on this kind of thing. My favorite review was of Fez where the reviewer (an SA goon) does commentary over the original review video, talking about how gaming has kind of split into mass markets of 16-bit graphic indie games and brown, desert shooters for AAA titles. It's probably something a lot of people have noticed, but it's elaborated upon well.
Here's the video I'm talking about in case you want to check it out.

As for Watch_Dogs... I think it's an example of how gaming has failed to evolve with the latest generation. It's the same old stuff, just done fancier and prettier. There hasn't been a Mario 64, a Zelda OoT, a Halo, or an FF7 yet. Nothing that changes up what's been done before. I know it's early in the generation cycle, but I don't have a lot of excitement for upcoming games.
