Oh no, is it gonna be another game that loses points for not being "innovative" or "revolutionary" enough? That's the absolute WORST complaint you can have about a game, what the hell is up with this obsession with "innovation"? Give me a break.
It pisses me off to no end. |
The obsession with innovation is about not wanting to play through the same experience over and over again. It's about expecting developers to continuously improve over time. We rate games within the context of the medium. After playing through a slew of open world games, it's going to be hard for one to leave an impression without doing something new.

I still don't understand what you mean with "We rate games within the context of the medium".
And not wanting to play through the same experience over and over again? I'm sorry, I can't take this argument seriously when Mario Kart Super Circuit and a bunch of Tony Hawk games are 90+ games. I'm not attacking either, I have a good fun with MK (though Super Circuit is terrible), and Tony Hawk is my favorite sports series. I just fail to understand why for some games, open world games in particular, its mandatory to surprise or "give something new".
