@drboot - I can answer that question simply - the creative talent is evaporating out of the gene pool at a rapid pace. Combine that theory with the clear push for "Halo clones" - sci-fi setting, master chief wannabes, and then you have the writing department grunting like cavemen while trying to find ways to make the story seem just different enough to NOT be compared to Halo.
Society as a whole is getting dumber, and I blame MTV. Not for the music, but for The Real World.
Btw, @ other posts - Not every "badass" hero needs to be some tank of a warrior that grunts and curses all the time. Put a dark, gothy psychopath at the head of a story, makes for quite the interesting game
