Fast and Furious 9 and 10 Release Dates Confirmed

@Dragokai:

Dude, I get it. It wasn't meant to be directed at you specifically, but as a overall societal observation. My hamster analogy may not be flattering but I really believe that is what is happening in our society.

There is so much distractions and demands aimed at an individual in an accelerating and complex world while a day remains 24 hours, there is no way that most of us can keep up. Something must give. Food, entertainement, just to name a few. Most people born today will never know what REALLY good food is! That's because the time and effort to grow or prepare the ingredients and the dish are not "worth" it to many people (even in restaurant). There is so many traditional food preparation techniques and dishes that are lost forever because there is no one to pass on the knowledge to. Similar with art and entertainment. Look at the videogames industry. While the industry as a whole as never been as big and profitable as today's, it's arguably in a pretty sad state. I feel lucky that we can still enjoy games like Bloodborne where the production quality is just amazing; the attention to details, the challenge, the depth, the unpredictability, level design, weapons design, monsters design, the lore, the graphics (the blood spatter algorithm is incredibly realistic; funny some reviewer mentionned the blood paintball-like spots in Rainbow Six Siege were well done. It's terrible.) etc. But it sold only 2M copies! I can't believe. It's the economics of the lowest common denominator: make something that appeals to the widest audience possible and thus make as much money as possible, at the risk of diluting the product and idea. The videogames industry turning to mobile market is perhaps another example, at a larger scale, that we are witnessing right now: trying to appeal to yet again a much wider audience -- the very casual "gamers". How long before the industry as a whole produces even less detailed, more shallow products? How many creators will still create for the honorable vocation of art and less for the profit?

@dysonlu: I dont know maybe you are zooming in too deep in the topic.

As I said below. It depends on my mood. If I watch the fast series I got a different mood. I expect cars, action and stuff.

That doesn't mean that I dont enjoy some plot or a nice story once a while.

@dysonlu: All true. The problem is we shouldn't stand for them cutting corners. It is their job to make the movies to an adequate quality.

Cutting content and providing half arsed rehashes should be punished but people keep going out and buying it year on year.

@peekaboobs: Or you know only go see the movies that are thought provoking and intelligently written.

They can do what they want as long as it doesn't effect anyone else. The problem is microtransactions and DLC DO effect everyone else. They give the developers the idea that they can cut content and give us their game in pieces without putting any effort into it.

By not using their brains they are eroding the quality of the industry.

The people who actually value the industry and have a stake in it are being shit on just because Mr. Joe zombie isn't capable of thinking ahead more than a few seconds and just buys the same old shitty rehashed games every year.

The people who value the industry are being shit on because developers are catering to the people who don't give a fart about quality.
