I think people are just insane. New franchises all suck and are unimaginetive, Sequals are just rehashes and companies milking franchises, remasters/remakes are a waste of development resources and a cash grab, indie titles a waste of time and people don't spend $400 on a device to play them, motion/kinect games were a fad and to casual, VR is another industry push like 3D, it will fade off in a couple of years.
I feel sorry for all the people that feel this way.
I have had a great time with Titanfall, Watchdogs, and the Destiny Beta. Titanfall suffered from a lack of content, and being exclusive to MS platforms which are not at their hotest currently, but the franchise has huge potential, and I look forward to a second, and hopefully it will make it to more systems. Watchdogs I found to be very enjoyable. I was not going into looking for life changing experience, and I had no issue with the graphics. Again, I thought it was a brilliant first game in a franchise, and see potential for great sequals should they continue.
Finally, Destiny. I spent 7 hours with the beta, only played 1 MP match, and did not visit the moon. From the news I have read I have only seen about 5% of the game, and only at a beta level experience. So far I enjoeyed what I played, but I have no intention of judging this game based on what I saw.
I think people need to calm down and remember how to enjoy gaming, or just take a break and experience the real world. There are so many good things happening in gaming right now, and so much more to come. It blows me away. I am the happiest I have ever been as a gamer, and I have been gaming since 1992. These games are not overhyped, a portion of the gaming community has just went off the tracks.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
