Is the videogame industry at risk of being bored to death?

Blame the western developers for bringing in this type of game design model. Blame for Japan for blindly following it and cementing it as a defacto.

I have been saying the way games are developed nowadays is a disaster, tons and tons of problems with it

- Way to long development cycles
- Cuts down on creativity as nobody is willing to give a big budget to a unproven idea
- Tons and tons of "Me too" and Copy cat games
- Destruction or weakening of smaller developers
- Stupider games as because they are constantly playing the same shit they have no way of broadening there horizons and learnigf to appreciate differnt styles of games not just the hollywood cinematic shooter shit.

I cant take this gen any more.. Ihave played drastically less games then previous gens.

Spot on. It's funny when I was reminiscing about the PS1 and PS2 days, the games on those systems alone were much better than the majority of what is released now. That's why The Last Guardian and Versus 13 for example are a must! Not to say that there aren't gems this egenration (Uncharted, Gears of War, etc.) but overall most new games are starting to bore me (F.E.A.R 3, Hunted, etc.) and I had not experienced that feeling until recently.
