I never quite understand the whining about new IPs, especially when people claim 'Nintendo don't make new IPs', which is just a blatent lie.  I actually think Nintendo should make less new IPs and put more effort and funding into each one, fyi.

This gen has probably seen the biggest success in terms of new IPs since the days of the NES.  Even the best selling damn game of all time is a new IP for this generation.

I have a lot of complaints about the "gaming industry",but, my biggest complaint is how greedy companies are getting.

SOCOM is TPS and from the PS2 days, just saying...

OT: Honestly, you worry too much. The only real problems that you mention are the ways we try to make people buy games from new and DLC, and I think those happen because the concepts are still new and unrefined. There hasn't been many options on the lockout of pre-owned games yet and developers need to be taught that using dirty tricks with DLC is not acceptable.

And we have plenty of new IPs in this generation. Gears of War, Heavy Rain, inFamous, Viva Pinata, Wii-brand games, Uncharted, Bayonetta, Assassin's Creed, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge and many more, not to mention all the old IPs that have been reimagined and are essentially wholly different games like Prince of Persia, Battlefield: Bad Company, Guild Wars 2, Burnout Paradise, Fallout 3 and many more.

Yes, there are yearly sequels that suck, but look at the new Need for Speed, it seems like quality the series hasn't seen for a very long time. The yearly sequels can all be blamed on the consumer though, not anyone else.

I do have a gripe with the lack of offline multiplayer though, I wish there was more of that.

and this is just off the top of my head.  There are loads of them, just most are not that major.  I could completely understand if you hadn't heard of the one or two more obscure titles in the mix

 




No, I'm very happy

There is loads of casual crap, but I can just ignore that as there enough top quality games to keep me interested. I also actually LIKE shorter campaigns as I feel the story can drag on too much if they are too long and it allows me to try lots of different games. The emphasis on multiplayer is a little bit annoying, as there seems to be too great a focus on trying to stop the 2nd hand market, which I understand but when multiplayer does start to become more of a focus then single player I will start to get worried.

CoD is certainly getting close to that line, and is one of the franchises which is often accused of being milked, but CoD games are of a consistently high quality as even with yearly games, they are on 2 year dev cycles with different studios and I want a good FPS every year.

Also, how was ACII not finished? That was such an amazingly good game, and I am very happy they are releasing Brotherhood this year, should be another great game for me to play
