Internal Friction

To many cluster-fucks so little time....

You know... i've been playing video games for a while now, hell i'm 28 yrs old born in 1983 and ive seen a lot of good ideas and bad ideas from the gaming industry. it has got me bugged that the industry it self has gotten in to a rut, to were it only makes 1 type or style of game. for example any of the EA sports games,Most of the first person shooters such as CoD, and the major the MMO. now im not saying these types are bad or rather the games are bad them selves, but when a industry cant come out of a circle because THEY ARE AFRAID OF LOOSING THERE FANS. so here are a few things to think about.

it is bad for a industry of art to keep the same thing going on and on. now on the other hand as in EA Sports games they purposely milk it each year with a fucking retarded reason to bring out a new copy of what was made a year before. for example the past few years they put up a gestalt saying that they make the resolution better,made the game play smoother, then they added the statistics,and the final add-on a physics engine. each year during E3 they repeat the same format then show the game as a hook, kinda sad really.

now in the case for games like the MMO and CoD, i wont say i DONT like them im just going to say that the recent incarnations have missed the point of playing games as a whole. when you go online or play local with a friends or acquaints, you shouldn't have to be bogged down by petty competition. but on the other than a small amount of competition is good to keep the game going for everyone to have fun. here is another problematic issue at hand as well, LoL or rather League of Legends which initially at first was fun, key word "fun". they take the premise of playing a RTT (real time tactical) with RPG elements,but as of recent people have gotten worse and worse of the past year and the fun loving game turns in to a miasma of competition. this also extends to the recent CoD as well.

Now going back to the beginning of the industry's issue we have companies who are remaking game in a different image or they are making another game, such as god of war 4 and devil may cry. i didnt mind god of war its puzzles were irritating and complex to the point you keep coming back but didnt they just end the story of  kratos in the third game??? as for devil may cry why did capcom give over the rights to a company who makes lack luster prince of persia/god of war knock offs ??? its kind of irritating that companies like capcom and santa monica basically are in a creation rut.and dont forget the huge mega man issue of development from capcom.

i applauded companies for trying new innovations such as Catherine,Mindjack,Bayonetta, and Last Rebellion. they each have there own merits,and have a beta type game play system that isnt like any thing seen. unfortunately 2 of these games had a bad review, because IT ISNT LIKE EVERY THING ELSE. which in my mind  a game should be different than any or all AAA titles and should be giving a chance to show its unique game play system. i like all games some types more than others,i just think gamer's need to get rid of the spiked dildo up there ass and cut this ego drivin bullshit and give the games that were giving a bad review,made by a lesser known first or third party companies.

gaming companies need to start creating newer games regardless of what fans like becouse if they dont  the industry will have failed so much just like the movie industry, music industry, and TV industry. id rather see it grow than to put or shove shit down our (as in us gamers) throats. enough said,,,,,
