As technology evolves, everything based on technology will be held to a higher standard, but games are continually made to low standards.


I personally think the problem lies with a customer base that is generally ignorant and a lack of creative talent in the industry. I think more creative people try to go into film making or something while gaming gets all the washouts.

its true. there are more high quality games this gen than last. games look way better and play better than last gen plus there is a wider variety of games

The PS2 library alone says no.


That's expected, so... yeah.

Blatantly not true.

Yep, true. Gad you enjoyed the last gen, though (cuz it is technically last gen now). Beats the hell out of watching most of the things you lived get sent off to die.

For action games.. sure... But for the most part last generation had way more variety, and imagination. We get racers, shooters, wrpgs, rhytm for a breif period.. and some open world games, and thats pretty much it. last generation had several great games from every genre you could possibly imagine. especially on the ps2.

especially when developers completely seem to lack the slightest effort in innovation, and Im looking at EA, Microsoft , Nintendo and Activision when I say that.

Sonys first party developers and a few third parties are the last standing bulwark of honest thrive for creativity and innovation.

nah, other than JRPGs there is still a wider variety of games available. especially with the rise of indie games there is more variety now than ever.

I feel the same way. Game developers sugar coat their games with super realistic graphics and special effects to cover up the mundane gameplay. It's becoming the same repetitive story with most games and I'm sick of it.

Whenever I play these games, everything is so predictable and I find absolutely no amusement because everything is so scripted and linear.

I know that. i bought halo combat evolved 11-15-2001 then xbox live launched 11-15-2002 with unreal championship which was xbox live's first shooter and they had plenty of shooters released before halo 2 in november 2004. If halo 2 was you're first online shooter for xbox live you are a casual dipsh1t
