The only thing that bothers me about the term 'innovation' is it's used as some blanket metric for quality. It's about as tired and overplayed as the term 'next-gen gameplay'. What the fuck does that even mean? And if people have such a grasp of what gameplay should look like now, why are they wasting time complaining about not seeing it in current games, online, instead of opening their own goddamn game studio and developing this awe-inspiring new method of gameplay? I'm convinced anyone who uses the term 'lacks innovation' or 'next-gen gameplay' in any article or review, lacks actual objective writing skills, and simply shouldn't be employed any longer in their current position.
