For those of us who have been in this industry for the last 15-20 years or so... doesn't it seem like AAA games disappoint more than they use to? Back in the day, when a game was hyped by magazines like say, SMB3... it delivered. Now you see games hyped to the heavens and back and then fall flat on their faces.

Could it be corruption? Maybe now, companies pay off the media until review time to make games seem worthwhile? I don't know what it is but it sure seems like something has changed.
