Time to quit gaming? The creativity at an all time low...

This says all that needs to be said.

I like milk, but only as a noun :/

It's still April ..... April fools.

The genre will always be milked...but LEGO? C'mon.

Dode I totaly agree I have been thinking this for over a month now. I'm going back to PC gaming home system gaming is turning into complete water down trash.

If you ignore all the original IPs last year, yes.

Even if it were true, you would stop enjoying all the quality games this generation has given/will give us just because a dev is milking a series? Doesn't make much sense, to me. I'd simply not buy it :|IronBass

EDIT: Forgotten Brutal Legend, now that is a game I'm interested in. I wonder who this imposter personating EA really is :shock:

Oh please.

If I put up a thread asking what kind of games people want, I'm pretty sure 99% of the posts will demand sequels or derivations of existing games.

People clamor for originality but will mostly buy something familiar. Honestly, I don't think people really know what they want.

Well, of course I'm not going to buy it but it shows a worrying symptom, wouldn't you say? Girsej

Nobody cares about the positives.

There could have been 100 AAAA titles last year, but Activision could've released Guitar Hero: Hannah Montana and everyone would've cried about how gaming was dying.

Maybe you guys should quit gaming. Become tissue aficionados. All you guys do is cry anyway, it's the perfect match.

all things must pass

That is mainstream casual gaming. There is still a healthy core market.

whats so bad about LEGO Rock band? i mean its just gonna be as bad as the previous rock bands. music game genre sucks

Creativity isn't at an all time low but funding and investments certianly are. Games like these sell, you cant really blame MTV.

DONT QUIT GAMING!!!!! im going to uni to study games devlopment etc and i need you guys to play my awesome games :'( please dont leave lol

I agree. Videogames are becoming repetitive and boring. It comes from the fact that we are craving these high rez, life-like graphics that cost millions of dollars to produce. Developers just aren't going to take a risk when they are spending that much money to make a game. You can't really blame them. It's our fault because this is what we are asking for. Next gen is only going to get worse.

The only innovation you are going to see will be found on the XBL Arcade, PSN Store and WIIware. The Wii has the potential for some unque games but it's not living up to it.

I honestly reccomend a DS. You can find games on there like nothing you have ever played before and unlike the Wii, most of them are actually good.

What is it this gen with all of the people whining? I'm sure people haven't played every original title out there that is to be play. So go play those. Nobody said you had to buy Lego Rockband.

I was talking about genre's of games, those are all consoles.....and manly PS3, 360 and Wii.mexicangordo

LittleBigPlanet --> creativity reaching new heights

This is just a taste of whats yet to come. A foul taste.

[QUOTE="mexicangordo"] I think a big part of the reason why many people complain about this gen (myself included) is because the lack of variety it brought. Sure there has always been an over-saturated of genre's in every generation but i think this gen has gone over board. Not everyone likes "guns" and "hardcore" (cough cough) kill everything type games.

And looking at your response, you are still ignoring other options. You want to just lump the PS3, 360 and Wii together ignoring the PC, DS and PSP.

There is plenty to play. In fact there is too much to play. I'm surprised at how large the market is now. I remember when, unless you were importing, you had much few options. I really don't get the complaining.
