Surprised and glad to hear Cliffy B express this huge problem with modern gaming.

"Too easy", "linear" and "a lot of QTE's". Yes, very much so.

It really baffles me that most gamers don't get it. That gamers eat up and consume all this casual interactive movie crap out there that is produced.

well, i like that sometimes.  heavy rain was great imo.  but we had that thread a while back, "the unchartidization of video games"...   i think the problem is most every game is going that route and it is too much, too many.  we need the other side of things equally represented.  and to get that it is psn/xbla or multiplayer deathmatches.

Whilst it is bad to see any style overused, a lot of games going for an Uncharted style is at least more appealing than the recent trend of many games using CoD as their inspiration.

The trick is to not overdo it.
