I get your point and agree with it. A huge pile of games are labeled hardcore are anything but. They include more of the three Bs (blood, breasts, and beasts) and less gameplay. 500 cutscenes artificially lengthen a miniscule product. Then they add an online portion to the game where you play the same 5 levels over and over and call that additional content.
No thanks. I'll stick to my all gameplay games like Donkey Kong Country Returns.

That's not true at all. Your talking from the perspective of an exclusively Wii gamer, which you may or may not be, but it's a trend I've noticed when fans of Nintendo rant against the industry annd make silly ignorant statements like the one you just made. Halo: Reach, Bayonetta, Vanquish, Little Big Planet, Gears of War, Assassins Creed, Demon's Souls, Dead Space, Super Meat Boy, Mass Effect and Red Dead Redemption are all fairly popular games that take the approach of content, replayability and gameplay over things like custscenes, boobs and blood. Custscenes are rarely used these days and when they are used, it's only to keep up the pacing and progress the story.
Your views of online, gore and cutscenes in games today are similar to a crazy persons view of how excessive repition, motion controls and easy gameplay are exclusive to the Wii.

I am a Wii gamer, but that has nothing to do with my points. I never once took a stab at any of the games that you listed so I don't know why you're being so defensive. You have to admit though that there are a lot of games that take the approach that I brought up. Heck, a Nintendo game did to some level. It was called Metroid: Other M. There seemed to be more cutscenes than gameplay and Samus was made out to be eye candy more than ever. Guess what? I didn't like that game. My view wasn't attacking any console, but a style of game.
My views of online, gore , and cutscenes are valid. Several games rely on online to make up for the fact that their game is really small (I'm looking at you CoD), certain games play up the gore and run commercials about your mom not liking them, and don't even get me started on how many games market themselves as cinematic experiences. I might be crazy, but I'm crazy like a fox.
Oh, I guess I did attack Dead Space now, didn't I? :p
