Some people need to get there heads from out of the sand and wake up a little bit.
Whenever this "conversation" arises it is always the case that people get highly offended by somebody speaking blunt about the state of computer games. It's like they go all defensive because people dare not say whats right about the industry. It means so much to them, almost like they are brainwashed by it at all, they will defend it to the death and attack those who speak out.
Also, if you actually READ what I said, there are SOME good points to todays games, but the BADS outweigh the goods FOR ME. For all kind of different reasons, reasons I've already provided. But the goods come in bits with todays games, divided, separate...and that's done on purpose to entice you into believing that the next game that comes along the conveyer belt, will fix all of those problems with the previous installment, rinse and repeat. Developers sell you an illusion. Almost like that episode of South Park where they play that stupid game chasing the horse, but they never catch it.
The fact of the matter is, games should have moved on so much over the last 6 years, GAMEPLAY wise with the new technology....and in all honesty, it hasn't, it's just go buggier and glitchier, but the gloss around the edges has moved along steadily.
Let's take PES 6 for instance, a complete football game, solid, does the job in all sorts of areas, was as good as it can be from day 1 on release. Compare that to PES 2012.....how many patches have there been again?
It's happened with so many games, not just PES.
But some of you will be so blind and captivated by it all, you will basically bend over, pull your trousers down and let these game developers do what they want.....and guess what?.....you'll pay for that to!....and the extras afterwards... (DLC)
I guess having played games for as long as I have, once you reach that, you might see it all the same as me, because believe it or not, I was like you once, I could see no wrong.
....and now I weigh up all the options and variables before spending cash on these computer games.
Wake up. It's embarrassing.
