Message: [QUOTE="Psp_enjoyer, post: 206301, member: 301836"] I have the same feeling, in regards to new launches. It seems like almost all new games coming out are extremely uninspiring cash grabs. Remakes of old games have the same vibe, at least to me. I hated the oblivion remake. I can write a long post on why that is, in great detail, but that's besides the point. I don't think it's mere nostalgia that leads many of us to thinking this way. If it were, I wouldn't be discovering 20+ year old games and falling in love with them. Clearly, newer games are lacking in creative vision, and are no longer the painstaking labor of love that many older games clearly were. One of the reasons gaming has become so desolate of good games is that the hobby has gone so mainstream. Most of the games are designed to be shallow, to appeal to the greatest number of people. The big studios that are making these games don't resemble game makers at all. They're terribly afraid of innovating. Very little of their resources goes into the games they're making. It's unfortunate that this has to be the consequence of video games having succeeded as a medium. But I do wonder whether you're exaggerating when you say that you've played everything that's worth it out there. There are thousands of games. Now, maybe you have. I certainly have felt like there's nothing else out there worth my time. But after digging a bit, eventually I discover something new. This may take years. After all, most of us have got work and responsibilities, and there isn't much time to search for games or play them. But in my experience, I run into hidden gems when I least expect it, and those experiences transform my entire concept of what gaming can be like. [/QUOTE]
