How can you be impressed about something that's been showcased for months? |
Hmm. I agree that the hype and availability of information is much higher now than it was ten years ago. It's most definatly part of the problem. But I do not see it as the main cause.
To expand my previous post, I feel like gaming has shown me it's goods. I now know to within an inch what kind of experiences a game can, and more importantly cannot give me. That effectivly puts a lid on expectations, expectations that when I was younger made my heart soar and sent my mind into blissful fantasies.
