Ok, Xmas has gone and many more people have joined the gaming scene with their purchase of an Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3.
But alot of us are starting to feel like the whole gaming aspect is being abandoned for different things. Almost as if Simon Cowell owns the release schedule and is raking the cash in selling clothes and promoting stuff gamers don’t use but maybe your annoying 12 yr old sister would.
As the big guns look into improving their retro titles and comic books, mainstream games are few and far between. The main focus is avatar clothing, pets and mini cars and magic rainbow smiles covered in love and cuddles. I mean come on, I want to play some games, not fiddle with my newly downloaded baby chocobo.
On the subject of games we are also experiencing a downfall there too. Years ago we would buy a title and spend days, months and years playing, this I consider a full game. Nowadays we all purchase half a game, by half a game I mean a game which I can download the other half as DLC, usually released 2 to 3 weeks after the first half, They should title these games as “Brain Stompers : the Clash of Peanut Butter and Gentailia LITE” with a little side note which says, “may require DLC to extend game to full potential”.
This isn’t such a problem if a “full game” had been out for a while, everyone had played it to death and only then should DLC be considered to revive it.
I’m usually considered a spoil sport by others in the gaming community. But there’s truth to what has been said.
This brain fart I’ve had has only really arised after I saw the CES show and thought in terms of gaming innovation, a small puddle of regurgitated steak ‘n’ kidney pie beats the lot…. Except Project Natal. I’m liking that.
