Message: [QUOTE="qw90700, post: 256499, member: 660650"] Ubisoft didn't get why Driver was good and why it had its own thing separate from an ordinary open world game therefore making video games same as others doesn't make a series better. Games gotta be different to sell, when its generic then people will play the better generic one. That being said, why first two Driver games were good is because it interested people who like to drive cars but they wanna experience something else beyond racing. These genre games like Stuntman series appeal particular people who may like GTA and whatnot shooters but it was nice to change the gameplay style from time to time after you get bored of GTA and shooters. It's actually cool that first 2 Driver games made the character has enough importance to feel "a driver exist" as the whole reality of the game literally created around the idea of it's all about you are a driver so your car go brrr lol. But then what Ubisoft did? They turned the series a weird movie idea that lost its "driver" theme because the nonsense trivial pointless plot they emphasized made the series lost the plot lol. I like Driver 3 and Parallel Lines as a game, but as a Driver game they are not a Driver game so no wonder people lost interest. When GTA SA was popular it was so nonsense to develop a "GTA-like game" that's not even better than GTA so no wonder people didn't like these games much. When GTA 2 and 3 was popular we played first 2 Driver games and we didn't compare 2 series because each did their own thing and therefore Driver games were satisfyaing in their own context so IDK what kind of smart cookie thought when people like Driver series because they just wanna experience "driving action" that's seperate from "car actions" they thought adding TPS action would be a great idea lol. Imagine making Sims turn into RTS war game that you have to defend your home or something. I mean for a reason series is liked because of the "genre" and "theme" they have that ensure a particular gameplay style that's different in its own context to make people interested especially when they are bored of playing certain genre of games. For example when I get bored of playing RPG I play action games that I don't wanna bother level up and stuff, and then when I get bored I play plain racing games, then I play games like Sims, then I play strategy games and so on. When games being a generic thing that has "everything" it limits my options by only focusing on "best in the genre". So when they turned RPG games into generic FPS games then I ignore new RPG FPS BS games and focus on games like Rage 2 instead of playing new Resident Evil games and The Outer World games. When GTA series didn't improve since GTA SA I play Saints Row 4 instead. When they spam turn based games I play Pokemon Red or Persona games again instead. They should give up developing generic games without different gameplay because when they do no wonder even kids born like 10 years ago are more interested with PS2 and even Sega Genesis games and it's not necessarly about retro interest but rather it was when video game industry was actually about video games so naturally when a person is gamer they won't have any interest in most of games released since 2010, especially since 2016. Honestly if I had born in this era I cannot see myself being a gamer at all. If I never had played Sega Genesis games and wasn't lived in that culture I really cannot see myself ever interested in video games unless somehow some PS2 games managed to capture my interest but I doubt.
