I think the main factor is the amount of games being released, I currently have, Untill Dawn, GeoW Remastered and Forza, with FIFA just around the corner and The Uncharted Collection soon after that, while later my gaming needs will have Battlefront and NFS. I just dont have time to spend time on one game no matter how good it is.
Devs want quick money, now a days, in their eyes it's quantity over quality. You can look at ea with FIFA, Konami with PES or even Activis with the Call of Duty franchise. At the end of the day, these guys are running a business, with their main aim to make a profit, if cutting corners achieves that, then so be it, i'am not saying it's right.
Dunno what this guy is talking about. There's more creativity in video games now than ever. Maybe if he stop playing one genre or platform he'll realize this. Plus the golden age of RPGs in the times of Fallout 1 and 2 isn't as golden as he portray them to be. Once upon a time, there were segments of the fan base who used Fallout 2 as soapbox for everything that is wrong with the industry.
Lets look at it this way. Fallout 2, this amazing RPG master piece, failed to save Interplay and the franchise was thrown on the scrap heap until Bethesda made it into the industry juggernaut that it is today. If that isn't creativity then I don't know what is.
The Souls series taught me that playing games which only involved instant gratification was a bit of a disease. Press A for awesome is all well and good but you need to mix things up and play slower, more in depth games too as they often are very rewarding.
With games like The Witcher 3, Metal Gear Solid 5, Bloodborne, and Fallout 3 releasing this year, I honestly couldn't think of a better time to be a gamer. Sure, lots of these games are sequels but they are the perfected versions of their former selves. Is he even paying attention?
wrong! games need to focus on quality and content, period!
