It's 2010, the Iphone has good graphics, yes I expect my games to look good. It doesnt make the game better, but I like looking at a god game while I play it.

I bought a HD TV not because the shows are better but they look better.


/thread?


Maybe end of thread to you, but to me a blatant example of what is wrong with current gaming.

Watching HDTV's has nothing to do with gaming. Watching a TV show is passive entertainment, videogames require active participarion. When games move from focusing on making the participation awesome (gameplay) to making the presentation awesome (graphics and %$#$%#$@ cut scenes) they become less games and more passive entertainment.

I do not like the current emphasis on presentation and 'story driven' games. These kinds of half games that rely on impressive graphics and fluff have been around forever and have always sucked. Unfortunately, now it seems like a hoard of people are actually embracing them and hoping the cancer spreads even more.
