Eh, but sometimes the medium just doesn't go in the direction we want to. It's unfortunate when it happens, and honestly I think everyone has some small wish when it comes to where the market would go- ('Down With Sports Games! GO DO IT OUTSIDE! More spaceships!')- but it would be literally impossible to keep everyone happy. =P For every person getting what they want, there are going to be a few who wanted something else, and like any business, most publishers are going to follow the money. Put as delicately as possible, Nintendo has opted to do its own thing with the Wii U and cater only to its traditional crowd, and that hasn't exactly gone... swimmingly, this generation.

Anyway, my tastes are pretty broad, as I enjoy my narrative-focused games as well as my mechanically-fun-but-narratively-shallow titles. Hell, I loved playing Nidhogg competitively and it is one of the simplest videogames I've ever played. xP And I loved Thomas Was Alone and that's all about the emotional journey of geometrical shapes. So with the exception of a few genres like sports, most racing and military shooters, I'm actually pretty content. (: I think I'd get bored if all the games I played were JUST adventure games, JUST roleplaying games, JUST serious, JUST colorful, whatever. I like to mix it up! :3

I might go play some Nom Nom Galaxy later. xP

No-no, of course of course of course.

But if you look at the top games selling nowadays, and the industry direction, most games are similar, and that is kinda boring for me. Not only it's not a type I like, but it's madly popular.

That's why like you I nitpic in games that are different, often indie games. ;)

This isn't true, it may be true for EA or Activision but isn't for the industry, The industry have a lot of sucess in different genres.
