I thought games were already on a downward spiral since the Playstation 3/Xbox 360 arrived, publishers and developers simply do not take any risks even with relatively smaller budgets. Long gone are the days where developers would attempt something truly unique and different and attempted to create new genre's. Games like Sacrifice where it blended 3rd person and real-time strategy, which was an amazing game, it was "original and fresh" upon it's release, the only experience I have had that blew me away in terms of originality like that game was Minecraft and Sanctum, both aren't AAA games or even AA. Now games are just full of "press A to win", cut-scenes that take away control from the gamer when it could have been far more interactive. (Uncharted, The Last of Us, Halo, Gears etc' being culprits.) Thankfully, the light at the end of the tunnel arrived for the PC awhile ago as gamers are no longer at the mercy of multi-billion dollar publishers who wish to pad their pockets with $100 bills, PC gamers are funding new games that *they* wish to play like Star Citizen and Planetary Annihilation instead of being force-fed the same yearly rehashes of old franchises with little innovation. /rant of an angry gamer. |
That's why many, including me, think that last gen was the worst gen for games ever. The big franchises will be here for as long it makes money. Are you obligated to buy it ? No ! So you aren't being force-feded with them. It's not like they are poiting a gun to you to buy their game. Just buy/support the games you like.
I think big publishers already got the message, we will start seeing more diversity coming from them. Look at Child of Light from Ubisoft, one example.
Note: Last time I checked all gamers play the games they wish to play. Not PCgamers only xD
