hardcore fanboys dont affect the gaming climate much at all. casuals do though

i dislike games like wiifit making so much money when it isnt even really a game at all. has to make you wonder how it makes the actual game developers feel when they spend millions of dollars and a whole load of time making a nice polished title which gets outsold by wiifit... it would certainly annoy me.

If any developers think it's somehow unfair that WiiFit is outselling their game, then they are idiots. WiiFit's sales aren't being 'stolen' from their game, because the soccer moms who are buying WiiFit have never heard of their game, and would never think of buying it instead of WiiFit. The people who have heard of their game, meanwhile, aren't any less likely to buy it because of WiiFit, because they aren't interested in WiiFit at all. So the 'good' game's sales are no more and no less than they would be if WiiFit wasn't on the market.

None of those is the right answer. The price to make big HD games is what should be listed.

Tough choice for me, I so wanted to say DLC, but then again it can be good so I consider it like a neutral thing (with some very evil tendencies) while short Single Player Campaigns just sucks and nothing about it is good. So I went with that, RE:5 should have been a 3-5 hours longer (like RE:4).

Guitar Hero needs to die. The game is virtually unchanged and yet they release 20 spin-offs every year. Activision is the laziest developer ever. They will release the same stuff every year : gh, cod, and make a killing. At least EA comes up with new ips like Ao2, Dead Space, and Mirror's Edge.

I'm happy with this gen. Why can't people just be happy and play video games like we used to?

I honestly think that all of those things are pretty weak, but deifnitely the third, and fifth choices; with the emphasis leaning to the fifth choice by a good margin.

Casual gamers fuel the industry, why is everybody against them?

I find no compelling reason to play through most of my games twice. I think the only game I played through twice was Kane and Lynch, because despite popular belief, and the absolutely redundant giant tractor...it's a pretty sweet game.

DLC for sure, the whole multilayer thing is just a phase mainly confined to consoles. Reviewers are partly to blame for this. "No Multiplayer" has been a frequent and sometimes undeserved detraction from a score. If you want your single player fix then PC is probably your safest bet, im still working my way through as as yet un seen parts of The Witcher on my second play through (gotta love the fiction).

DLC removal has been proven now, the other options were just different types of games. This is an actual lowering of quality to steal from a fanbase, the tomb raider incident was inexcusable.
