Some of my personal favorite bad movies are the Cube series. They are down right terrible, but in an enjoyable mannor. The plot of the movie is a bunch of people, stuck in what basically is a gaint rubix cube of death. Another one is Rubber, which stars a killer tire. When it comes to horror...

Pretty much this ^. dev's focusing on it being safe rather then innovative is an issue

This. I dont have nostalgia goggles, its just that looking at minecraft kind of makes you go.. What the hell. Companys are focusing on graphics rather then the game, then say, oh hey, its worth 60$! Back when we didn't have the tech to make it graphic focused, it wasn't. They only could focus...

..Yes, i know it can be more profitable, so dude, chill. Just because its more profitable does not mean its better for the game itself though, and THAT is what i'm mad about. You're also DEFENDING the high cost and them focusing on graphics rather then gameplay. YES, I KNOW, they get less cash...

Of corse they should want to make a profit, but shouldn't they want to release high quality games rather then focusing only on the quick buck? EDIT: Whoops.. To finish that off added.. "rather then focusing only on the quick buck"

Any game that makes you do the tutorial for points, for example guitar hero. But also id personally say dead rising one, the achievement to kill 60,000? zombies, or whatever it is, and the only way to do it is to basically use constantly respawning trucks / cars in the tunnels to run them over...

No i did get it but your acting like that's alright. That the more important features, like gameplay, should suffer for the sake of graphichs.. No, that is NOT ok. Yes, reaching the apex will be good, but two things: One, everything else should come first, if they really are suffering because...

This. Thats exaclty what i mean. Few games worth buying, whle the rest just use the same old cookie cutter mold to try to make cash. Also someone up above mentioned that it's always been that way but.. That does show a decline a quality to me. Shouldn't we move past all of that and have a new...

You want them to focus on graphics rather then story and gameplay? Man, i hope you realize those are different departments and are focused on by different people for each game. One area should not lack, and if it does, it should be graphics rather then the gameplay. It's a game, it's also art...

I honestly am in love with this comment. Great example is minecraft for that.

Do you really believe the cost will go down? Overtime and with sales yes, but not at the ship date which is what im talking about

It's my opinion bro, rage more. As someone above stated there tends to be more focus on flashiness with cinematic's and what not then core game play. Sure, i love to play a good looking game, but that doesn't make it good itself. So yes, to me, the cost for the quality just is not there...

Well put. Super meat boys a great example, not expensive, not made to look amazing at all, and it focuses on the game, not the frill. They focus less on core gameplay then they used to for top notch games.. I myself couldnt finish mass effect or bioshock ether.

Well isn't how long it takes to beat a game apart of quality as well? If you can beat a game in an hour but it was amazing, was it worth 60 dollars?

That's more of what i was getting at rather then games suck now.. Everyone goes straight to me bitching without anything else.. Minecraft's cost compared to any cod (when new) with dlc, is ridiculous So thank you Turtle. :p
